Jiaoxi, slow to catch on, finally caught the awkwardness of the situation.
She fell silent, because she had heard her apprentice say that Lord Qin Yu was a person who, while generally good, naturally attracted shura dramas, often pulling many innocent people into her orbit, particularly those based on their attractiveness.
Back then, Jiaoxi found it amusing and teasingly chided her apprentice, "She seems quite friendly to me, just a young girl who likes to have fun. Where's the mystery in that? She seems no more scandalous than a brothel performer."
But now, Jiaoxi felt as if she was hanging clothes at home only to be suddenly pulled into a vast ocean 1500 kilometers away.
And standing on the shore was the murderer from the enemy camp.
The other side gave her a venomous snake-like smile.
She felt... that staying silent was the best way to survive.
