Lu Sangjiu glanced at the person who had spoken. He looked familiar.
She had seen Yi Ze by his side before. 'So even if they aren't master and disciple, he must be an elder close to Yi Ze.'
In that case, it was perfectly normal for him to dislike her and target her deliberately.
After his accusation, if Lu Sangjiu delayed her answer any longer, the others would likely start to suspect her too.
So, she had no choice but to speak, her face a picture of sincerity. "Seniors, you've misunderstood. It's not that I can't bear to part with the Demon Artifact, but because…"
She looked troubled. "Because it formed a contract with me… a Lifebound Magical Treasure contract!"
Everyone was stunned, even the Sect Leader of the Gold and Silver Gate hadn't expected such an answer.
