Gong Chenying looked at the man before her. This junior brother she had once trusted so completely was saying one moment that he had no new Dao Companion, then claiming the next that he did.
Li Yan's behavior made it obvious that he had a guilty conscience. He was merely trying to find excuses to argue his way out of it and make the two of them accept it.
