"So, you were forced into this too?"
In the moments that followed, Luo Qiufu listened to Lu Mingyuan's long-winded tale. He explained Luo Ying's background, the feuds within Prince Jin's Mansion, and the conflicts among the various Princes—all with a few embellishments.
He carefully framed the story to focus all blame on Prince Jin's Mansion and Luo Ying, ensuring that he, Lu Mingyuan, was completely uninvolved.
As a mere underling, he was only following orders.
Lu Mingyuan said helplessly, "Yes. Lord Ying insisted that I pledge my allegiance to her—that I slave away for her, give my all, and face death unflinchingly. She even 'rewarded' me with a kick."
"Rewarded you with a kick?"
Luo Qiufu looked puzzled.
"She kicked me."
That's right. He had sold out Luo Ying without a second thought.
Luo Qiufu's Cultivation was higher than his—Ninth Realm or perhaps even Tenth Realm. She also had many Magical Treasures. His clone was no match for her. He couldn't afford to provoke her.
