"Damn it, which bastard leaked the news!" Shangguan Qingyun was in a furious state on his way back.
It no longer mattered who had leaked the news; the matter was exposed, and he had to make a choice. He could no longer harbor Zhou Chuan. If the Supreme Elder came to search in person, he would be unable to stop him. Once Zhou Chuan was discovered, his crime would be confirmed beyond doubt.
Moreover, according to the Haoran Sword Saint's intentions, he was meant to recruit Zhou Chuan as a disciple. Even if he managed to hide it now, it could not be concealed forever. If he deliberately deceived everyone now only for the truth to come to light later, he would completely lose all integrity and ruin his future prospects entirely.
