Inside the quiet room, Zhan Hongqu hesitated, opening her mouth and closing it, then opening it again. After a moment of thought, she had forgotten what she meant to say.
Bringing tea was merely an excuse. She had wanted to ask Lu Bei if Zhan Lexian’s name was on the list of Nine Swords Elders. As a disciple, this act was a gross breach of protocol and completely lacked decorum. However, she was not just an ordinary disciple; in private, she had maintained a sordid dual cultivation relationship with the Sect Master. She figured this status might allow her to pry into a few details. Furthermore, Lu Bei had been away at Beijun Mountain for several days, and she wanted to know if he had encountered any danger. Lastly, she wanted to ask Lu Bei if they would be dual cultivating tonight.
Three things to ask, and each was harder to voice than the last. In the end, she simply fell silent, staring straight at Lu Bei. This man was sharp as a fox; he surely knew what she wanted to say.
