Huh?
Qin Yu looked at the Red Crystal in Phoenix's hand, shimmering with flowing radiance, and revealed a doubtful expression.
He couldn't help but blurt out, "But why did you deny being sick last night and even hurt me?"
Thinking about it, that slap he got was really unjust!
"Heh... If I had admitted you were right at that time, it would have meant that everyone present would know that the Red Crystal would end up in your hands. Do you think you could have kept the Red Crystal safe with your current condition?"
Phoenix curled the corner of her mouth and said with a cold laugh.
"Uh... makes sense!"
Qin Yu nodded.
He had seen the situation then; those people were crazy for the Red Crystal and nearly everyone wanted to claim it for themselves.
If they knew it would eventually be in his possession, he probably would have been killed and robbed that very night.
