Li Dazhi whispered:
"Do you suspect the Golden Immortal patriarch of the Sea Watch Sect who appeared today?"
"Yes," Li Ping'an said, "the behavior of that Golden Immortal today was somewhat abnormal; dad, can you recall what he said to our revered master?"
Li Dazhi stroked his chin, pondering carefully, but he couldn't quite articulate a reason.
Li Ping'an said:
"At that time, he questioned the master, asking whether the Wanyun Sect was really that clean.
"That statement was his subconscious defense for the entire Sea Watch Sect, implying that if you push me, all of us will share the same bad reputation.
"His disciple becoming one of the Blood Fiend Hall's Eighteen Fiends is already mysterious enough.
"According to what Dulong Sha confessed, the Eighteen Blood Fiends do not know each other, which is a rule of the Blood Fiend Hall, but Dulong Sha still recognized Nan Bo Wang. Is it possible that Nan Bo Wang actually served as a messenger?"
