"Sister, I might need to look for that Jade Pendant. I put it together with the Spirit Stones and Elixir Pills. After I fell from the cliff, I don't know if Fei Luo and the others touched my things."
After some thought, Chu Yun replied.
'I'll hide the truth about the Jade Pendant for now,' he decided. 'Then I'll discuss this properly with Cyan Ox Dahuang before deciding whether to hand it over.'
After all, he had never met this Young Master from the Prime Minister's Mansion and didn't feel comfortable just handing over something as important as the Jade Pendant.
If his sister had asked for it, he wouldn't have hesitated for a moment.
Chu Chan glanced at Chu Yun, a flicker of confusion on her face, but she didn't press the matter.
She knew Chu Yun very well. Whenever he lied, his eyes would subconsciously dart to the side.
It was a habit he'd had since childhood.
But she didn't call him out on it.
