"Perhaps in a little while, you won't be around to be seen at all."
Zhou Jing's eyes were filled with scorn. "If I were you, I'd be running as far and as fast as I could..."
"Valley Master Chen, we've known each other since Ye Jingzhou's time. If this were any other matter, I would surely speak up to help you," Cao Xiong said, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, his tone laced with a hint of what sounded like regret.
