Although Cui Hao did not know what he could say to avoid a beating, he understood that if he said nothing now, he would definitely receive a lesson from Third Senior Sister.
They had only just stepped out of the Heavenly Derivation Sect Mountain Gate, not even an hour ago... he absolutely could not take that lesson.
Even if only for the sake of his face!
Besides, this counted as a misunderstanding. Cui Hao wanted to save face, and he did not believe the Mahayana cultivator opposite him had no regard for his own.
Even if he really had seen through it, the elder opposite him would most likely take the offered slope to climb down.
Cui Hao immediately grew solemn, then cupped his hands. "Senior Myriad Forms..."
"My apologies, Senior. There is no such person as Senior Myriad Forms. My junior brother was talking nonsense."
Chen Baiqing's voice drowned out Cui Hao's.
The elder of the Profound Clarity Heavenly Sect glanced sideways at Cui Hao and showed a slightly awkward expression. Having more or less understood the situation, he chuckled.
"My knowledge was lacking."
Chen Baiqing reached out and patted Cui Hao's shoulder beside her, bringing him into a slight bow with her.
"My junior brother has made a fool of himself before you, Senior. Please forgive him."
Cui Hao could only bow and reply as well.
"Please forgive me, Senior."
The elder of the Profound Clarity Heavenly Sect reached out and gently lifted the two with spiritual power, chuckling.
"It is hardly a major matter. It is better that there is no Senior Myriad Forms, or this Mahayana cultivation of mine would have become a joke. The sect leader is already waiting in the Main Hall. If there is nothing else you must attend to immediately, please trouble
