Holding the two bones, Chu Sheng looked up at Lu Guan, his eyes filled with astonishment.
The White Bone Sovereign?
Lu Guan?
Lu Guan was the White Bone Sovereign???
With such a lofty title as White Bone Sovereign, Chu Sheng might actually have believed it-if Lu Guan hadn't been trembling on the ground in ecstasy from using his cigarette sacrificial item a few days earlier.
Apparently noticing Chu Sheng's skeptical gaze, Lu Guan showed not the slightest hint of shame. With confidence wholly unsupported by reason, he said, "When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity."
"I'm the only one in the White Bone Sequence. Is calling myself the White Bone Sovereign really that outrageous?"
Chu Sheng fell silent at Lu Guan's retort.
Not only Chu Sheng, but even Captain Hui and the others, who hadn't understood what was happening, now grasped what the two of them had just said. They, too, were speechless.
"Shameless!" Qingqing muttered, hiding behind Fang Hong.
Everyone present was a Sequence Adept. With their enhanced hearing, they naturally heard her muttering.
Fang Hong gave everyone a slightly awkward smile. "Sorry. She's just a child who doesn't know any better."
She showed none of the grief one might expect from someone whose teammate had just been killed and whose convoy's survivors had all died. Instead, she acted as though nothing had happened.
Nor did anyone hold Wang Meng's actions against her or Qingqing.
Because she had previously sworn an oath to her Sequence, Captain Hui and Chu Sheng had sought her out privately when they noticed something was off about Wang Meng.
It was through her that they had conclusively confirmed Wang Meng's ill intentions.
Qingqing hid behind her and stuck her tongue out at Lu Guan.
But she didn't say anything
