Cowardly?

Rather than taking risk, he would rather pick the safe route and followed through this kind of path.

This is Nan Hou Xiang's decision.

Even if it was cowardly in the eyes of others, he didn't care.

*Fiuh*

Seeing that another official had come to him and asked him to leave, Nan Hou Xiang heaved a sigh secretly in his heart. He was worried that they would send another official who was harder to deal than Song Chuan to him.

At that time, Nan Hou Xiang didn't know what he should do to protect himself.

Continue lying?

He was sure that Song Chuan had noticed that he didn't complete say the truth. Only around 90% of it was the truth while the rest was purposely covered and even changed by Nan Hou Xiang.

Because he knew that he couldn't say the complete truth.
