Shu Guan spoke these words before letting go because he was using the Moon-grabbing Skill to grip Shentu Shuning's wrist; under such circumstances, all of Shentu Shuning's spiritual power was locked by the skill, naturally rendering her incapable of doing anything.
However, Shu Guan worried that if he just released her directly, Shentu Shuning might attack him. Although Shentu Shuning was no match for him, another fight would still be quite troublesome.
Therefore, Shu Guan wanted to make it clear first that he had no ill intentions.
While speaking, he didn't lower his head to look at the woman in his arms.
Because at this moment, Shen City's foremost beauty in the realm of cultivation, the entire delicate body of Shentu Shuning, was in his embrace, and Shu Guan could even feel that slender body trembling slightly—perhaps the master of Bai Hu Tower was also feeling fear and anxiety at this moment.
If he looked down, it would be awkward for everyone.
