President Huangfu narrowed her eyes and studied Xu the Adept for a long while before breaking into a dazzling smile. "Is this why you spoke up for him a few days ago?"
"Not at all." Xu the Adept shook his head decisively. "I don't remember speaking up for him."
As a Tiantong retainer, he could remain silent when dealing with outsiders, but he absolutely could not lie, much less take an outsider's side. He truly could not bear Huangfu Wuxia's accusation, even if she was only a Qi Refining Stage cultivator.
But Huangfu Wuxia was not so easily fooled. She glanced at Xu the Adept. "At the very least, when everyone was discussing the Existence-Nonexistence Mirror, you spoke for Feng Jun and said it could be bought anywhere."
It turned out she had already identified that mirror. She simply had not been able to say so at the time and could only speak vaguely.
The Existence-Nonexistence Mirror was not the Primordial Heaven Yin-Yang Mirror, but it was a True Treasure derived from it. Its origins were extraordinarily terrifying.
"I don't know anything about an Existence-Nonexistence Mirror," Xu the Adept answered sternly. "Are you referring to that magical artifact?"
The Existence-Nonexistence Mirror was a True Treasure, yet she was comparing it to a magical artifact? Wasn't that going too far? She might be a branch president, but he was also an Emergence from Dust Adept!
While the two of them continued their idle chatter, Feng Jun brought the Chu Family group to a remote corner of Pacify Arms Mountain.
After stepping down from the Light-Yin Shuttle, the Chu Family head clasped his hands and spoke first. "Greetings, Feng Mountain Lord. It is truly an honor."
"No need for such pleasantries." Feng Jun waved a hand and got straight to the point.
