"I had some issues. What about you? What happened to you?" Ye Qiu, afraid that saying too much would arouse suspicion, casually responded before probing him with a question.
The Fourth Guardian's frown was nearly imperceptible. Seeing Ye Qiu's aloof and sinister demeanor, he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart: "It's all because, after your mission failed and you vanished eight years ago, the Sect Hierarch sent me to Jiangning City."
