"You are not George!"
The Deputy Guardian's voice was cold as he looked at Ace's appearance; he had clearly seen George's portrait from his information source, so he instantly knew it wasn't George.
In fact, all the people in the hall, whether the hall masters or elders, had the same thought, but they were also bewildered because this was the first time they had seen Ace in the sect. After all, with his otherworldly appearance, they would remember him if he lived in the Chief Hall Court.
Soon, they all speculated that the reason the Guardian Spirit told the Deputy Guardian to soul-search George was because it was planning to use a scapegoat.
But it seemed the Deputy Guardian had seen George. Not to mention that once the Deputy Guardian used a soul search on him, even if he hadn't seen George, he would instantly know that this was an imposter with his memories.
