As Fang Yang heard this, it was his turn to panic
"Wh-what do you mean Meili? The entire Sect knows that unlike the Golden core cultivators of the Xiu and Shi families. The Golden core of the Zhou family regularly wanders outside of the sect but he still visits back regularly-"
"That's a lie." said Zhou Meili coldly
"Pardon?" asked Fang Yang in denial
"I said it's a lie." Replied Zhou Meili
"It's only a false lie spread amongst the lower members of the corpse ghost sect to uphold the Zhou Family's prestige. It's already an open secret amongst the higher ups that as long as 200 years ago, the golden core elder of the Zhou Family, fell while travelling outside of the sect. The family only managed to hide it for around a 100 years before the two other families found out."
As soon as Fang Yang heard this explanation, his heart sank to the floor.
"Meili, you're joking, right?"
