Ning Zhuo looked at the two of them, his expression calm.
He picked up the tea cup, took a light sip, then put it down and said slowly, "Brother Shen, Miss Su, I did not intend to deceive."
Su Lingkou frowned, about to speak, but Ning Zhuo continued: "Previously, my attainments in the Array Dao were indeed just like that. The first time I traversed the Nine Curves Corridor, I couldn't even pass the third curve; that was genuine, not a pretense."
He paused, his gaze sincere: "But in the past few days, I gained an opportunity, and my Array Realm advanced by leaps and bounds, leading to today's achievements."
"Quite a stroke of luck!"
Su Lingkou's frown deepened.
Opportunity?
What kind of opportunity could allow a person to leap from being unable to pass the third curve in just a few days, to becoming the first to break through the ninth curve?!
She wanted to inquire further, but the words never left her mouth.
