The Gua Cheng before him immediately caught Lu Mingyuan's attention.
'The "walls have ears" part means I've been followed ever since I left Prince Jin's Mansion. According to the current Gua Cheng, if I agree to Hu Susu's proposal, I can get out of this jam. I'll gain the help of Qingqiu Temple to fight Prince Jin's Mansion together, but I'll also have to explain why I lied. The Gua Cheng suggests I have to invent a story about a Saintly True Monarch?'
'It's easy to make up a story, but this Saintly True Monarch could become a hidden danger later on. Forget it. I'll deal with problems as they arise. I'll solve the current trouble first and worry about the future later.'
At his side, Hu Susu tried to use her Spiritual Sense to see what the man behind the Bronze Mask looked like and discern his thoughts. However, an invisible power shrouding his body blocked her Spiritual Sense.
This left her quite surprised.
