Azure Lotus Supreme said calmly, "Don't you know what you did? When the Self-Protection Alliance was first formed, you immediately answered the call and avoided Saint Rou, fleeing to the Great Realm Palace. Saint Rou hates you for it. Later, when Fan Shen was involved, you were the first to answer the call again, and you were targeted once more."
Gray Ancestor said helplessly, "I, I was..." He was about to say something, but then his eyes shifted. "I was a spy in the Great Realm Palace on Saint Rou's behalf, preparing in advance. I'd known for a long time that the Great Palace Lord was devious and vicious. After all, we've both lived for so long. I was afraid Saint Rou would suffer."
"It's just that what happened later was beyond my control."
Azure Lotus Supreme said calmly, "Saint Rou won't believe that explanation. Even I don't."
Why should I make you believe me? Gray Ancestor wanted to retort, but didn't dare.
"Um, Azure Lotus Supreme, can I leave now?"
"I came to save you, and you want to leave? That's disrespecting me."
"I don't need saving, do I?"
"You do."
"I really don't."
"I say you do, so you do. Lord Lu also thinks you need saving. Or are you saying you only helped Lord Lu last time because you were forced to?"
Gray Ancestor's heart sank. He'd been targeted.
"Let's go." Azure Lotus Supreme approached Gray Ancestor, one step at a time.
Gray Ancestor retreated several steps, met by Azure Lotus Supreme's formidable aura. He looked at Azure Lotus Supreme, but in the end, didn't try to escape.
