He lowered his head, his eyes darting around, and racked his brains to come up with a good excuse before lifting his head to look at Qian Jiyun again.
"I just wanted to infiltrate the enemy's ranks and keep an eye on those people for you, that's why I pretended to join Shadow Killer and them, Lord, you have to believe me, how could I possibly betray you?"
At this point, he could only portray himself as someone willing to sacrifice for Qian Jiyun to escape this predicament.
He knew that now that he was caught, Shadow Killer's subsequent assassinations would surely go up in smoke. With the operation failing, he would be nothing but a pawn to them.
He could only sever ties with Shadow Killer and them to save himself.
"Yes, that's it, Lord, you really misunderstood, I did all this for you!"
However, the reason he gave couldn't even convince himself, so he added another sentence to ensure he could be forgiven.
Qian Jiyun was amused to the point of anger when he heard his words.
