"Miss, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Chen stopped as well and looked at Hei Yuntao.
False hope?
He was doing everything he could to save Hei Meier. How had that become giving her false hope?
"You clearly know that Ancestor Shi Tian is invincible, yet you deceived the Holy Maiden by claiming you would save her. Aren't you just trying to use the Holy Maiden to help you steal the Spirit Dragon Fruit? Don't think I don't know!" Hei Yuntao sneered, looking at Xiao Chen with open mockery.
She was Hei Meier's personal maid, and Hei Meier had once saved her life. Not long ago, an ancient elder of Black Dragon Mountain had taken a fancy to her and wanted to forcibly make her his plaything. Hei Meier was the one who stepped in and stopped him.
Otherwise, Hei Yuntao would likely have met with disaster by now, toyed to death by that elder with rather unusual tastes.
Hei Yuntao was deeply grateful to Hei Meier. Their temperaments were compatible as well, and they were as close as sisters. She also knew certain secrets.
From the moment she learned of Xiao Chen's plan, she had thought this man was lying. He merely wanted to use Hei Meier and squeeze out every last drop of her remaining value.
But Hei Meier would not listen to her advice and believed Xiao Chen would never harm her!
Hei Yuntao could only come to meet him, however unwillingly.
Xiao Chen gave a bitter smile. This maid had taken him for some scumbag!
But he offered no explanation.
Words were useless in a matter like this. Only actions could prove the truth.
The two fell silent.
They quietly continued up the mountain path.
Xiao Chen looked around, carefully taking in Black Dragon Mountain.
