Sword Bu Gui's dignified expression immediately stiffened.
'...Didn't we agree not to bring this up? Why did she have to ask Hua Jianzhi? Why?!'
He glanced at Lu Sangjiu, his face expressionless. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Jue step in front of her and bow to him.
"Master, this matter is of great importance. Please help us pass on a message as soon as possible."
Sword Bu Gui paused, his expression suddenly growing much more serious.
After all, he knew Gu Jue. For him to be this earnest, it most likely meant he truly had something important to say.
But... seeing his disciple's pathetic display, shielding Lu Sangjiu like that, made his blood boil.
"Look at you, you worthless brat!"
'There's another man standing right there, yet you don't seem to care one bit. You just keep protecting her like she's some priceless treasure!'
His face was a mask of bitter disappointment, but since they had company, he couldn't say much more.
