"Boom!"
Zhunti Daoist felt his mind go blank with a buzz. He nearly died of fright on the spot.
He'd been discovered!
He'd actually been called out in front of everyone!
He wanted nothing more than to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
He'd only wanted to scavenge some leftovers! How had he gotten caught up in a clash between immortals like this?
Under Nuwa's cold gaze, Zhunti Daoist knew he could no longer hide.
He could only brace himself, put on a mournful expression, and step out of the spatial rift.
"Cough, cough... Junior Sister Nuwa, it's a misunderstanding. This is all a misunderstanding..."
Zhunti forced a smile uglier than a grimace and repeatedly cupped his hands toward Nuwa.
"I was merely passing by, just passing through. I saw baleful energy soaring into the heavens here, upsetting the natural order, and couldn't bear to see it, so I came to take a look. I had no other intentions, none at all!"
Even he didn't believe what he was saying.
At his words, Nuwa merely gave a cold laugh. Her eyes made him look like a ridiculous clown.
"Passing by?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhunti, you've taken quite a detour. You came all the way from Mount Sumeru in the West and just happened to 'pass by' my Eastern Land's Xiqi?"
"Do you take me for a fool, or do you think all the fellow Daoists here are fools?"
Nuwa's voice showed no mercy. She tore away the last shred of Zhunti's cover.
Zhunti's face instantly flushed a deep liver-red.
When had a dignified Saint ever suffered such public humiliation?
But he didn't dare lash out.
He could tell that Nuwa was a madwoman today. Whoever crossed her would regret it.
All he could do was stand there
