Qu Mei's expression changed upon hearing this, and she nervously defended herself, "Elder Xiao, why do you say this? Du Yao has indeed gone out."
"Heh heh!"
Xiao Mu suddenly sneered, staring at Qu Mei with a sharp look, coldly saying, "At first, I asked you where Du Yao was, and you said she just went out. Then I asked when she would return, and you told me she had taken leave for the entire day."
Xiao Mu spoke, his gaze becoming even sharper, "Your words are contradictory. You're not someone who typically lies, so why deceive me, hiding Du Yao's whereabouts, telling me she's not here, refusing to let her come out to conceal Heaven's Secret? Qu Mei, do you really think this Grand Elder would let you bully me?"
"Grand Elder?" Qu Mei's face suddenly showed panic, noticing the term Xiao Mu used in his words.
Xiao Mu remained calm and collected, directly taking out the Grand Elder's seal token and playing with it in his hand.
