Inside the Cave Mansion, in the main hall!
As Cheng Buzheng's words fell, a strange glint flashed through Shangguan Qingyu's beautiful eyes!
Noticing this detail, Cheng Buzheng instantly sensed that something was amiss!
"Could it be that Hall Master Chu's injuries were severe—far more severe than I imagined?"
"That was why he was unable to emerge from seclusion!"
As this thought arose!
Cheng Buzheng's expression turned solemn as he said:
"Junior Sister, this concerns the safety of Chu Daofeng and Hall Master Fang. You must not hide anything from me!"
"Could it be that Hall Master Chu's origin was grievously damaged, making it difficult for him to wield the combat strength of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator?
"Perhaps he cannot even sustain the duration of a single battle?"
Upon hearing this.
A hesitant look, exceedingly rare, appeared on Shangguan Qingyu's cool, jade-like face!
After a short while!
She seemed to have made up her mind?
In the end, Shangguan Qingyu shook her head and said apologetically:
"Martial Brother, I'm sorry!"
"A-Actually, a few years after Daofeng's grandfather returned, he passed away in meditation!"
By the end, Shangguan Qingyu seemed ashamed of her earlier concealment. She lowered her lovely head, as though too ashamed to face Cheng Buzheng.
What?
In an instant, shock filled Cheng Buzheng's face!
"How is that possible?"
Upon hearing this!
Shangguan Qingyu raised her head, her gaze brimming with apology as she said:
"Martial Brother, don't blame Daofeng!
"It was this Junior Sister's idea to conceal it from you before!"
At the first opportunity, Shangguan Qingyu took all the responsibility upon herself, lessening Cheng Buzheng's resentment toward Chu Daofeng.
After all!
Whether it was the Innate Gang Sha next?
Or taking action to rescue Chu Daofeng?
Neither could be done without Cheng Buzheng!
Only by dispelling
