As he finished speaking, a smile touched his lips. He was relieved, but more than that, he was happy.
Even when the world suspected him, Ling Zhuyun was still willing to trust him.
This trust naturally brought him great joy.
"Logically speaking, if you're suspected of being a remnant of the Blood Immortal Sect, then Ling Zhuyun should be under suspicion as well. And yet, she's managed to wash her hands of it completely..."
Old Ghost let out a knowing, derisive laugh.
Ye Ming faltered, then began to defend Ling Zhuyun. "She's the Saintess of the Jasper Pool Sect, not a loner like me. She has to consider her Sect; she has no choice."
"Enough about Ling Zhuyun. The most dangerous person on this journey was clearly Jiang Lan, yet now there isn't a single whisper of news about him. That's what I can't figure out for the life of me."
Old Ghost changed the subject. If he kept talking about Ling Zhuyun, he feared Ye Ming would start an argument.
