Outside Peace Gate, Hong Zuer stared fixedly at Chen Ji.
In his heart, he had already assumed that the inheritor of the Sword Seed Path was Chen Ji: among the Da Ma Mountains, aside from the Night Patrol, Yulin Army, and Mo Blade Camp, only Chen Ji and his group remained.
Moreover, Chen Ji also had the motive to save the Yulin Army.
Hong Zuer murmured, "How could it not be you? Who else could it be?"
Chen Ji feigned confusion and diverted his attention elsewhere: "Mr. Hong, I don't understand what you mean. Who exactly are you looking for? Did the people from the Spy Department do something?"
Hong Zuer lowered his head in doubt: "Could it be them?"
Unwilling to concede, he looked up directly at Chen Ji: "Since it isn't you, where were you earlier?"
Chen Ji replied expressionlessly: "Naturally, I was escorting the Jing Dynasty Envoy to Chongli Pass."
