Zhang laughed awkwardly. "I just misunderstood them, that's all. I run a shop, after all. Of course I have to be concerned about my business."
Su Nian's eyes were deep and knowing. A faint, unreadable smile played on her lips, as if she could see through all of Zhang's excuses.
Being watched by her like that, Zhang felt completely exposed. He quickly took two steps back, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
But on second thought, he felt he had his reasons. He straightened his back, adopting a self-righteous air.
He knew this Master was incredibly skilled. Her fortune-telling was uncannily accurate; she knew everything and had never been wrong.
He had some unsavory incidents in his past, and in front of her, he was surely like an open book, unable to hide any secrets.
However, he'd never done anything truly evil. Besides, that vocational school was known for having plenty of hooligans. He was just worried, so frisking them and asking some questions... that was hardly a crime.
