"Not bad. I made some progress." Chen Qing nodded, his expression unchanging.
'Right, Elder Xiang is a man of high status and authority. He should know that woman's identity.'
An idea struck him, and he asked, feigning casualness, "By the way, Elder Xiang, I met someone inside named Xu Min. She helped me resolve a small problem. Her Cultivation seems profound. I was wondering which senior of the sect she might be? Why have I never heard of her?"
"Xu Min!?"
The smile on Elder Xiang's face instantly froze, and his expression became extremely peculiar.
He scrutinized Chen Qing from head to toe. "You... you interacted with her? She spoke to you first?"
"It was just a chance encounter. We only exchanged a few words, nothing more." Chen Qing replied truthfully, though he grew more confused inwardly. Elder Xiang's reaction was far too strong.
'That woman seemed quite easy to get along with, not like a bad person.'
"That's good, that's good."
