The moment those words entered Elder Zhen Ren's ears, he couldn't help but tremble ever so slightly—an action that did not go unnoticed by the Sect Leader.
Elder Zhen Ren raised his head and looked at the Sect Leader. He then said in a panic, "Ao?! Sect Leader, did he do something? I couldn't find him the entire day!"
Inwardly, however, Elder Zhen Ren was cursing his misfortune.
I told that brat not to wander around and draw people's attention. He had to do exactly what I told him not to. Worse yet, now even the Sect Leader knows about him!
When he had brought Adam to the sect, he knew, of course, that sooner or later the Sect Leader would become privy to it. But he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"So, his name is Ao," said the Sect Leader, stroking his neatly-trimmed beard.
He looked at the Elder with narrowed eyes and continued, "But you still haven't answered me. Why did you bring him here? Is he someone you know?"
