"Regarding Elder Lian and Elder Yang who are responsible for sect inspections, Elder Liu, did you not notice anything unusual about them before?" Pei Yan asked in a low voice, looking at the very angry Liu Xuanji.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xuanji smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "If I had noticed any problems, I wouldn't have been manipulated into arranging him to guard the secret chamber. Elder Lian is secondary; he joined the sect with skills in hand and gained the sect's trust over many years of steadfast work. We've checked his background multiple times without finding any issues. Perhaps we were negligent! It was my poor judgment that led me to trust him wrongly. But Elder Yang is different! He comes from a sect family's lineage, not as powerful as the four large families like Liu and Mo, but nonetheless from a long-standing family. There's no chance of him being an outsider's spy!"
