The people in the room all looked at Chu Liuyue, clearly waiting for her to give them an answer.
Chu Liuyue pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, I lied to you earlier. I said the wooden plaque was fake because I actually wanted to look for that person. But after I went back, I realized that he was already gone. I followed him all the way and went out of Fangzhou City."
Other than the elders present, Zhuo Sheng and Luo Yanming were taken aback. "You went out of the city?"
Chu Liuyue nodded. "Back then, I just thought of chasing him, so I didn't think too much about it."
Meeting the few people's shocked and doubtful gazes, Chu Liuyue explained, "I already knew him beforehand, and… We had some conflicts between us. After meeting him this time, I wanted to go teach him a lesson, but I felt that this was a private matter and that it wouldn't be good for me to get you guys involved. Thus, I thought of a reason to lie to you."
