The voice was not loud.
But it clearly reached the ears of Lei Meng and Liu San, who had just walked into the room.
"Martial Saint Middle Realm?!"
Liu San gasped, his eyes rounding, and he suddenly looked at Qi Hao.
Lei Meng also paused his steps, his gaze instantly focusing on Qi Hao.
Qi Hao's heart skipped a beat, his thoughts racing.
His face instantly showed a mixture of bitterness and relief as he nodded forcefully, saying, "Yes! He's actually my distant cousin; I went to see him this morning, originally intending to invite him to join our Cyan Dragon Gang to boost Brother Meng's influence... who knew we'd encounter his enemies' ambush halfway."
He spoke with lingering fear: "My cousin fought desperately to protect me and managed to break through the siege..."
This explanation, half true and half false.
Positioning himself in relation to the Bauhinia Association member as cousins.
