"As for the golden core, yesterday, Her Ladyship travelled to a secluded island at the dead of night and was ambushed by the Bestiary Division's succeeding disciple, whom Her Ladyship often referred to as Lady No Eyebrows. A battle took place and-"

Bai Yu's eyes widened. "Pardon?"
Bai Qingyue's voice grew deeper as he repeated the question. "Where were you at that time?"
"Oh, that's what My Lord meant." Bai Yu nervously laughed. "This Subordinate was not there at the start of the battle, but this Subordinate arrived as soon as he realized Her Ladyship fell into danger!" He quickly explained, defending his position.
