A moment later, there was a light sigh, and then Master Jingxin walked out from the darkness, pressing her palms together in greeting.
"I knew I couldn't hide from Benefactor Wu's vigilance. This humble nun pays her respects."
This should have been Wu Liangchen's first meeting with Master Jingxin, yet there was something oddly familiar about her aura. Back in the Imperial Capital, Liangchen had more than once vaguely sensed that same elusive presence.
With a cold expression, Liangchen suddenly asked, "Master Jingxin returns to Huangpu Guard but refuses to go home. Is there something troubling you that you cannot speak of? Or perhaps some guilt weighing on your conscience?"
Master Jingxin's face changed slightly, realizing her greatest fear had materialized.
This Wu Liangchen was clearly someone who wouldn't tolerate deception.
If she couldn't provide a reasonable explanation, he certainly wouldn't let her off easily.
