For some reason, an image of a girl with long, straight red hair surfaced in his mind—the one whose death led countless fans to mail him blades... And that old scoundrel Herzog, what a lingering source of frustration...
His thoughts snapped back to reality. Nan Ji had already wrapped the blanket tightly around herself, her eyes, full of shame and anger, fixed on him.
Su Bei swallowed nervously. Because he'd gotten carried away earlier, he was now a little flustered.
He cast an apologetic glance towards Nan Ji and then asked, "Why ask this all of a sudden?"
Nan Ji had already changed into her white gown. With one jade-like leg crossed over the other, she looked down at Su Bei from her dominant position, radiating a frosty aura.
Su Bei took a step back, shivering involuntarily.
"Master, Master Shangguan has returned!"
"He said... he said Sword Maiden possesses the True Word Life Pattern, but it's been sealed by someone..."
"..."
True Word Life Pattern?
