"Um."
Carefully observing Jiang Feng's expression.
"I don't want to inform the Clan Leader either, but like most sect forces, Purple Cloud Palace would leave a strand of Divine Soul with the disciple to ensure their safety. Seeing that child having troubles, especially being of direct bloodline, naturally causes anxiety in my heart."
"So, they contacted me pretty straightforwardly, young master. I didn't give you away though, just mentioned that you encountered a Nascent Soul stage golden-haired bear during an external mission and suffered severe injuries after the conflict."
"But the other person who came back with you..."
As expected.
It definitely wouldn't be Yan Fengchun.
That kid may not be serious but he's tight-lipped, he probably guessed that it was Wang Yong spreading the word, after all, despite the disaster they encountered on this trip, the fame and merit they claimed was real.
