"Golden Light Wanderer... so that's your name."
From a distance, Wen Suruo heard him and murmured to herself, committing the name to memory.
Huh?
Across from him, Dai Tianrui shuddered. 'Why does that name sound so familiar?'
He quickly drew a Flying Sword and thrust it forward with all his might.
"SQUELCH!"
The sharp blade instantly pierced Zhang Gongxian's heart before slicing him in two.
"Golden Light Taoist, it's a misunderstanding! This is all a huge misunderstanding!"
Dai Tianrui pointed at the wide-eyed corpse of Zhang Gongxian. "I actually have no problem with you at all! He was the one pulling the strings, telling me to give you a hard time on purpose."
"You saw it yourself. All those men were taking orders from him."
"I was the one being coerced! Really, you have to believe me."
Now that Zhang Gongxian was dead, he couldn't very well speak up to refute the claims.
So Dai Tianrui immediately started spouting lies, trying to turn the truth completely on its head.
