"Did you see that Lu Yin?" Taicang Sword Venerable's voice rang like clashing weapons. Though he spoke a full sentence, it sounded as if he were saying each word separately.
Xianding's gaze flickered. "I did. After returning from the Four Lin Domain, I already reported it to Master."
"Tell me again."
"Yes." Xianding didn't know why Taicang Sword Venerable wanted him to repeat himself. Had he found out what Xianding had said to Lu Yin? Uneasy, Xianding repeated what he had said before. Whatever happened, he'd already said it once. He couldn't change it now.
Taicang Sword Venerable listened in silence. Xianding had mentioned Lu Yin to him once before. At the time, he'd taken an interest in the man, but not nearly as much as he did now.
Lu Yin had single-handedly destroyed Spring and Autumn Jian. He was far beyond an ordinary powerhouse.
Even Taicang Sword Venerable couldn't have destroyed Spring and Autumn Jian on his own.
And Lu Yin had emerged from the Karma Sea. His identity, background, cultivation, and strength were all impossible to gauge. Yet he had intervened in this matter.
Xianding spoke slowly, repeating what he had said before almost word for word.
Taicang Sword Venerable frowned at the distance and fell silent.
After a long while, he sighed and said wearily, "You may leave."
"Yes, Master." Xianding hurried to withdraw.
Suddenly, Taicang Sword Venerable fixed his gaze on him and demanded, "Have you offended this man?"
Xianding's face paled. He couldn't help thinking of the scene where Lu Yin had interrogated him, and for a moment he was dazed.
Taicang Sword Venerable's eyes sharpened. He reached out from beneath his black robe, grabbed Xianding, and dragged him closer. An unprecedented chill filled his eyes. "You offended him?"
"No, Master. I never offended him."
