"Elder Ma, things aren't what you imagined. Qin Xiao isn't dead.
"He was taken away by an expert from the Body Sect to protect me."
Xuan Ziwen's words cut through Elder Ma's grief.
"Is that true?"
Elder Ma's eyes lit up.
Xuan Ziwen nodded with difficulty. "Elder Ma, would I lie to you about something like this?"
