After hearing Guo Wei's explanation, Chu Lingguang felt deeply guilty. If not for him, Eunuch Liu might already be in the Imperial City, enjoying a life of wealth and prestige.
"Where is my disciple?"
Eunuch Liu asked.
"He's outside."
Guo Wei replied.
"Then get your ass in here, now!"
Eunuch Liu roared.
At the doorway, Xuanyuan Jinkang trembled. He let out a long sigh, entered with his head lowered, and knelt before Eunuch Liu. He kowtowed and said, "Master, this disciple's crimes are worthy of ten thousand deaths."
"Speak. Why did you show up here?"
Eunuch Liu was far too sharp for that; he demanded an answer.
"This disciple believed Master still intended to take Chu Lingguang as your disciple. I grew jealous and followed you here in secret, hoping to use the chaos to eliminate Chu Lingguang and prevent him from competing with me for cultivation resources."
With his plot exposed, Xuanyuan Jinkang didn't bother hiding anything.
