Seeing Gu Yuan completely unworried, Lu Xue casually remarked, "Young Master, what do you plan to do then..."
"Pay him no mind."
Gu Yuan waved his hand, his expression indifferent, glanced at the lady before him, and softly said, "It is you, Xue'er, who has been by my side for over twenty years now, always forced to hide your identity due to your sect's orders. You have truly worked hard!"
"This..."
Lu Xue looked startled, somewhat puzzled and aggrieved, "Third Young Master, I don't quite understand what you mean. I was sold to this island by my parents when I was young, and this fact is no secret to you, nor to the Isle Master. Where does this talk of hidden identity come from?"
Although spoken this way, how could Gu Yuan not perceive the lady's tension, the slight change in her demeanor, alongside her Divine Thought locking onto an item in her Storage Pouch, while True Qi began circulating within, seemingly poised to unleash a powerful strike at any moment.
