"Shizun, believe me! I was really planning on paying you a visit after I save Tang An and Shao Yan!" Fu Jie gulped as he tried to defend himself.
Xiao Jingyi's eyes narrowed down on the man and it almost looked as if he was trying to scan Fu Jie for lies.
Fu Jie quickly tried to change the topic as he asked, "Shizun, shouldn't you be in the sect? Why did you come out? What about Senior martial sister Luo?"
"If you were so worried about her then why did you run away from the sect?" Elder Dayu sharply questioned and sounded pretty serious.
Fu Jie scratched the back of his neck awkwardly as he heard this question, "I didn't want to trouble Senior Martial Sister Luo and I knew that she would try to go with me so I had to leave without informing her."
Fu Jie was clearly lying and Xiao Jingyi also knew this but he still didn't call the man out for lying and instead sighed as he pointed out, "The Golden spirit of the river."
