Su Qingzhuo felt a little awkward. Could he say that he had forgotten?
He had merely felt that the female cultivator before him would not harm him. Added to that, she possessed Merit, and his "Eye of Shattering Illusions" could not see through her disguise. She perfectly matched the conditions for the benefactor his master had described, so he had preconceivedly decided she was his benefactor. He had not even asked her name before pouring everything out like beans from a bamboo tube.
Su Qingzhuo's face burned, and he had the urge to dig a hole and bury himself on the spot.
Yunxi admired Su Qingzhuo's face, which shifted colors like a palette, and found him rather interesting. He was foolish to a certain realm. She wiped a hand over the "Glazed Jade Mask," restoring her original appearance as she said,
"This Lord is Wei Yunxi of the Haoran Sect. Remember it?"
"Hiss!"
This time, Su Qingzhuo sucked in a sharp breath. Somewhat excited, he said,
"Y-you... you... are Wei Yunxi?"
After speaking, he felt it was somewhat discourteous and immediately cupped his hands.
"Su Qingzhuo greets True Lord Wei."
Yunxi touched the "Glazed Jade Mask" again and resumed her previous disguise. Waving a hand, she said,
"No second person may know that you have met this Lord—not even your guards. Investigate what I instructed you to look into slowly after you return. Do not alert anyone in the family. Understood?"
"Yes, True Lord."
Su Qingzhuo answered readily this time, but he still asked with some concern,
"True Lord, has the Su family truly been targeted by Evil Cultivators?"
Yunxi shook her head. Even now, she did not know whether the Su family was aware that the Secret Realm belonging to them had become a hiding place for Evil Cultivators,
