"Master, the truth is actually..."
Jin Yingying hesitated, knowing all too well that once she admitted it, the master would definitely want to kill Li Fei.
Although she had only encountered Li Fei once, for some unknown reason, she didn't wish for him to perish.
Zhou Sheng spoke up: "Yingying, you were present at the scene."
All eyes around were cast towards Jin Yingying, waiting for her answer.
"Master, although Brother Zhou was killed by Li Fei, the situation isn't as you imagine."
She quickly explained, "It was Brother Zhou's insatiable greed, conspiring with Zhou Sheng to assassinate Li Fei, that resulted in his own death."
"Ridiculous!" Yu Xisheng immediately rebuked loudly, "Ayong would never do such a thing; he's your senior brother. How can you speak up for an outsider?"
Zhou Sheng seized the opportunity to embellish the situation: "Yes, Yingying, even though you fancy that lad, you shouldn't distort the facts."
