"Thank you for your kind intentions, Taoist Friend Liu. However, it's nothing, just that an elder of high virtue and esteem within our sect suddenly passed away due to illness," Xiao Yuebai replied with a bitter smile upon hearing this.
The intention to politely decline was unmistakable in his words!
Sensing this, Liu Ming almost subconsciously immediately thought of the old man who had lost his life on the altar, and with a jolt inside his heart, refrained from asking further questions. After exchanging a few more words with the big man, he formally took his leave.
Xiao Yuebai and Han Li immediately escorted Liu Ming out of Yuanmo Sect's mountain gate, to the edge of the vast stone forest, before returning to the sect.
"Senior Brother Xiao, who exactly has passed away? Now that Junior Brother Liu is no longer here, you can tell me the name, can't you?" On the way back, Han Li, unable to restrain herself any longer, asked the big man.
