The slap landed, and Li Wenbo was stunned.
“Master, why did you hit me?” Li Wenbo complained, feeling wronged.
“Fool!”
Su Xuanye scolded, “Do you have any idea what Ye Wushuang’s actions mean?”
“Even if his talent is extraordinary, no one from the Seven Great Sects would dare to take him in; they might even try to harm him!”
“Yet here you are, feeling proud and happy to be with him?”
Li Wenbo muttered, “But Ye is a good guy. He said he would give us the Soul-Parting Pearl.”
“Indeed!” Su Jin Yue added, “Dad, Ye Wushuang said he would give us the Soul-Parting Pearl to heal Grandpa!”
At these words, Su Xuanye and Shi Wuheng’s expressions changed dramatically.
They exchanged a glance, and Shi Wuheng immediately waved his hand, creating a barrier that isolated them from the other Spirit Sword Mountain warriors nearby.
Still uneasy, Su Xuanye cast another seal around them.
The four of them were now enclosed within the protective barrier.
Su Xuanye grabbed Su Jin Yue’s wrist and demanded, “Did you tell him about your grandfather?”
Startled by her father’s stern demeanor, Su Jin Yue was taken aback.
Shi Wuheng, however, was even more severe. “How could you tell him about Director Su’s condition? Su Jin Yue, have you gone mad???”
The outside world only knew of one overall mountain lord of Spirit Sword Mountain, but they were unaware of the existence of two other significant figures.
One was in a deep slumber, and the other was injured, neither having appeared before the public.
Even within Spirit Sword Mountain, only a handful of mountain lords were privy to this information.
It was an absolute secret, one that must never be leaked!
Feeling frightened, Su Jin Yue quickly explained, “It wasn’t just me who spoke. He guessed it right away!”
Li Wenbo also chimed in hurriedly, “That’s right, Master. When I told him my master was Su Xuanye, he immediately said your name was Su Yuxuan!”
Shi Wuheng and Su Xuanye exchanged another glance, their faces filled with shock.
Li Wenbo continued, “And I think… he seems to have some kind of special connection with you, Master, and with Director Su. I can’t quite put my finger on it…”
At that moment, Su Xuanye’s dazed gaze wandered into the distance.
A special connection?
Shi Wuheng was also taken aback.
He only knew that the true identities of the three senior figures must not be exposed, but he didn’t know why.
It seemed this involved the most core secrets of those three great figures!
Su Xuanye stared blankly into the distance.
“Ye Wushuang… this young man…”
Then, Su Xuanye turned to Li Wenbo and said, “Tell me everything about your interactions with him since you met—every strange word he said, every odd thing he did!”
“Okay.”
Meanwhile, Su Xuanye and Shi Wuheng were deeply shocked.
On the other side, Mu Qiqi had also arrived at the stone platform of the Giant Sword Sect.
As soon as Mu Qiqi landed, Mu Junli approached.
The two enforcers, Lv Shanhai and Wang Bo Kun, also glared at Mu Qiqi with stern expressions.
Their sons had been killed by Ye Wushuang.
Yet here was Mu Qiqi, emerging with Ye Wushuang.
Mu Junli couldn’t help but ask, “Qiqi, what’s going on?”
Mu Qiqi immediately replied, “Dad, it’s not Ye Wushuang’s fault…”
Hearing this, Lv Shanhai sneered, “Mu Junli, you’ve really raised a fine daughter!”
Mu Junli immediately glared at Mu Qiqi.
However, Mu Qiqi looked at Lv Shanhai and said firmly, “Enforcer Lv, it really isn’t Ye Wushuang’s fault.”
“Lv Qingyan picked a fight with Ye Wushuang and lost. Lv Qingsong stepped in for Lv Qingyan and tried to kill Ye Wushuang as soon as they entered the mountains.”
“Is Ye Wushuang supposed to just let himself be killed?”
At these words, Lv Shanhai’s expression darkened even further.
Mu Junli quickly reprimanded, “Qiqi, don’t speak nonsense!”
Would Lv Shanhai care about the reasons for the deaths of his sons?
To him, his sons had been killed by Ye Wushuang.
Even if his sons had committed heinous crimes, Ye Wushuang was the one who deserved to die.
By defending Ye Wushuang, Mu Qiqi had only made things worse for herself.
“Humph!”
At that moment, a cold, mocking laugh echoed through the air.
