all was silent.
Xia He froze for a moment, then turned to Li Zixuan in bewilderment.
'What in the world is going on?'
"Isn't her teacher... the head of the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy?"
Xia He murmured, staring at Li Zixuan as he asked softly, "What do you mean by that?"
'Those words just now...'
'She isn't trying to trick me, is she?!'
The moment he spoke, Li Zixuan's brow furrowed slightly. Seeing the utter confusion on his face, she mulled it over for a moment before things started to click into place.
'It seems...'
'This man knows part of the story.'
'But not the whole thing!'
'At most, he has some connection with my senior brother.'
'And it seems my senior brother intentionally kept some things from him.'
'As my senior brother's best friend, it's only natural for him to help... No wonder he was so evasive earlier.'
