Xu Xiaoshou raised his brows in surprise.
It seemed to be the first time he had seen Yu Zhiwen get angry.
No matter how earth-shaking the matter before her, this girl always seemed as still as an ancient well. Yet when it came to the rules of the Holy Spirit Hall, she was unexpectedly this stern.
Was this her bottom line?
"Rules?"
Lu Ke was not intimidated by Yu Zhiwen's tone. He retorted, "Heavenly Secrets Art? That means you're from the Dao Department."
"Then you came from headquarters?"
"Since you're from the Holy Spirit Hall headquarters, do you not know that you, too, have broken the rules?"
He pointed at Xu Xiaoshou. "This guy is on the Red Robes blacklist. As a member of the Holy Spirit Hall, aren't you breaking the rules by favoring him so openly?"
"I have my own considerations. I don't need your concern!" Yu Zhiwen did not shrink back in the slightest.
"Considerations?"
Lu Ke sneered. "If you can put it that way, then I have my own considerations too. What do you say?"
"Lu Ke!"
Yu Zhiwen was furious.
Even the hands maintaining the Heavenly Secrets Formation had become somewhat unsteady.
"You're pursuing personal gain, all for your own benefit. Do you think I can't see through you?" she snapped.
"Aren't you?" Lu Ke smiled.
"Very well." Yu Zhiwen's voice turned utterly icy. "Senior Moonless taught you so much, and this is how you repay him by tarnishing his name?"
"You..."
Lu Ke's expression froze at once. He blurted out, "You know my master?"
Master?
While everyone present was still utterly baffled, Xu Xiaoshou's heart was already roiling like stormy seas.
Senior Moonless...
Wasn't that Gou Wuyue?
Wasn't he one of the Seven Sword Immortals?
Wasn't he one of the Ten Seat Holders?
