Promise? Why Did You Save Me?

Ye Xiao rejoiced in his mind, [Thank god that I acted so well. Even if the dead Purple Lotus Master was alive, he would have failed to make a purple lotus that was better than mine…

Otherwise, I would surely be exposed, wouldn't I?]

Ye Xiao realized that things were going in an unpredictable and strange direction ever since he had shown the purple lotus…

Xiu-Er was visibly more cautious, and she asked in a low voice, "I didn't know who you were… It was said that you were hunted by the peerless Xiao Monarch in the Qing-Yun Realm. After that, no one has ever heard about you… We all thought that you were…"

Ye Xiao shook his head slowly and showed hatred on his face. He said, "The Xiao Monarch is indeed the most terrifying person in the Qing-Yun Realm. I am clearly not a match for him. In fact, if he hadn't kept hunting me like a mad dog, how would I end up in this realm… Oh."

While he was making up a story, his pulse quickened.
