"What did you say?!" Xie Lan said as he went down the platform and walked towards Zuo Zhe. "What do you mean, Xiao Sheng knows the demonic cultivator?!" he asked.
Zuo Zhe met his gaze. "He does." He said.
Xie Lan stared at Zuo Zhe. Actually, he already had his suspicions earlier.
"Founder…?" Lei Ling, You Rou, and Lei Qing called when they saw Xie Lan fall silent.
"Sect leader Xie…?" the sect leaders called after seeing Xie Lan's head lowered.
"… you're like Wen. I'll believe your words." Xie Lan told Zuo Zhe before he left and went back.
"…" Zuo Zhe whose heart almost stopped after feeling Xie Lan's overwhelming aura. Whew…! He secretly sighed in relief.
"I apologize for my rash behavior." Xie Lan said when he returned. His face is deadly calm.
"…" sect leader Xie, you're scaring us! They thought.
"What did Zuo Zhe mean earlier?" Wu Yuan asked Xie Lan.
"Cheng Sheng knows the demonic cultivator?" Jing Rui asked.
