Lu Tong placed the oil lamp on the table and calmly asked, "They haven't gone far; do you need me to call them back?"
He smiled noncommittally and glanced at the White Jade Guanyin in front of the small Buddha cabinet, his words carrying an implication, "Is this how you deceive people, a bodhisattva in front of others but a Rakshasa behind their backs?"
Lu Tong responded, "A royal guard before the Emperor, an escaped criminal behind, Lord Pei and I are not much different in weight."
She hadn't forgotten that just a moment ago, Shen Fengying had said that an assassin had escaped from the palace.
Lu Tong smelled the faint scent of blood on Pei Yunmeng's body, some things were not hard to deduce.
Pei Yunmeng was momentarily taken aback, then smiled, walked to the table beneath the window, and sat down, saying with a sigh, "Had I known Doctor Lu was so formidable, I wouldn't have offended you earlier."
Lu Tong said nothing.
