Bai Yunbo's sudden interruption and false accusation caught Ye Weiyang completely off guard.
When Hong Zhengwu had asked earlier, he originally intended to tell the truth. In his eyes, the matter wasn't a big deal. Hong Zhengwu had more than one daughter; compared to the Profound Celestial Iron Mirror, a single daughter's life or death was entirely insignificant. Furthermore, he could take advantage of Bai Qianfang's absence to use Bai Yunbo to secure the Profound Celestial Iron Mirror. If there were traps, he could use the man as a meat shield. If there weren't... that would naturally be even better. Even if Bai Qianfang found out about it later, he wouldn't be able to say much.
