After gently chiding her Third Junior Sister, the First Senior Sister, Qian Ya, weakly looked toward Lu Chao…
"Friend, our Qianjian Sect is certainly not as tyrannical as you claim. It's just that your appearance and actions strike us as suspicious, especially since you refuse to reveal your sect or background…"
"This makes it hard for us not to suspect that you were sent by a rival sect."
Her words were soft, and she sounded weak and tired from her severe injuries, but her tone was far from humble.
It carried an oppressive weight, like a tactic used in a negotiation.
While one couldn't find fault with her words, they were filled with a sharp, veiled dominance.
To put it bluntly, she was demanding he prove his own innocence.
Hearing this, Lu Chao narrowed his eyes and looked back at Qian Ya, casually retorting, "Then may I ask the First Senior Sister of the Qianjian Sect, does the Nether Spring Mountain Range belong to your Qianjian Sect? Do I need your permission to be here?"
