"What did you call me here for?" Xu Jing, upon hearing Lin Feng's question, couldn't help but chuckle. "Do you even need to ask? I called you over to get a straight answer about your whereabouts these past few days!"
Just as expected, Xu Jing had brought it up. Lin Feng grimaced, feeling conflicted.
When Lin Feng had previously called Xu Jing to request a leave of absence, she had asked the same question, to which he had failed to give her a satisfactory answer.
Now that he had finished his errand, Lin Feng, in theory, owed Xu Jing an explanation. However, telling her everything that happened on the Treasure Ship seems a bit inappropriate. Firstly, I don't want Xu Jing to know I did dangerous things like fighting experts in a ring. Secondly, I'm bound by a confidentiality agreement, so there's a lot I can't tell her… But I also don't want to lie to Xu Jing. That was why he was so conflicted.
"Don't lie to me…" Xu Jing stared at Lin Feng and said with a playful grin.
