Perfect Mouthpiece

Facing Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi's anger head-on, Jiang Xuan felt immense pressure.

But at a time like this, he could not cower and play dead, or his fate would likely be even worse!

How was he supposed to break the deadlock?

After some thought, Jiang Xuan decided to change the subject first.

"Uncle Ning, where did Rongrong go? Does she still not know I'm back? If so, I should go find her. Otherwise, she might blame me for seeing someone else before her after coming home!"

Jiang Xuan thought his excuse was flawless, but to his surprise, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong's expressions became even stranger after hearing him.

"Uh... did I say something wrong?"

Hearing that, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong exchanged a glance before shaking their heads.

"No... if Rongrong knew what you were thinking, she might even be happy. It's just that she isn't in the sect at the moment."

Now Jiang Xuan was the one left dumbfounded.

"Rongrong isn't in the sect? Then where is she? Don't tell me she went hunting for a Soul Ring?"

Seeing that Jiang Xuan was getting anxious, Gu Rong coughed twice and forcefully dragged the conversation back on track.

"You don't need to worry about Rongrong right now. Let's talk about you! Where exactly have you been these past three years? Why didn't you send even a single message? Do you know how worried we were?"

Though his tone was reproachful, the concern beneath his words was unmistakably strong.

Jiang Xuan felt warmth fill his heart. Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi's attitudes showed that, just like Chen Xin, they truly regarded him as family.

But as for why he had vanished without a trace for three years...

For a moment, he truly did not know how to explain it.
