"My Lady, Sir Lu, you've returned... so soon?"

At this moment, outside the gates of Black Rock City, a middle-aged man quickly ran to greet Gu Ruoyun and her party members upon their arrival. He spoke joyfully, "Did you manage to find the Infinite Sacred Fruit?"

Murong Yan's gaze darkened and she shook her head, "Uncle Liu, I wasn't able to find the Infinite Sacred Fruit, the cure for grandfather's disease. We were attacked by spiritual beasts..."

Murong Yan was about to reveal her betrayal but Lu Shaochen shot her a look and stopped her.

Lu Shaochen retracted his gaze and smiled as he spoke. 

Uncle Liu, whose face was already filled with disappointment, suddenly turned anxious upon hearing Murong Yan's explanation, "My Lady, Sir Lu, are you both alright?"

"We're fine," Lu Shaochen smiled, "We were lucky enough to bump into Miss Gu. She saved us."

"Oh?"
