Duan Hongyu's schemes were exposed by the Carefree Wanderer, but she still pretended not to understand, saying, "Teacher, I truly follow your orders wholeheartedly. I've risked my life alone to fulfill them; why do you still doubt me?"
Carefree Wanderer, as experienced and shrewd as he was, knew exactly what Duan Hongyu was thinking. He sneered, "You fool, you think you're so clever, trying to benefit from both sides, but every move you make is within our calculations. I don't have such foolish disciples like you."
Duan Hongyu seemed deeply shocked, mumbling, "Impossible, I've never tried to betray you. I've been carrying out your tasks, you can't do this to me. I've contributed significantly."
