Under Wu Xiang's questioning, Chu He remained silent, his head sinking lower and lower.
Seeing this, Wu Xiang grew even more angry and let out another cold snort. "You and Zhang Wulei became disciples at the same time, and your dwelling places are right next to each other, so it's only natural that you got close. But in making friends, one must not only look at such things, but also judge whether a person is truly worthy of companionship. You were born with half a sword heart, possessing a clear mind and a trusting nature. If it were someone worthy of trust, that would be one thing, but if you misplace your trust in someone unworthy, it will inevitably implicate you. Going to the Ice Prison this time—it was Zhang Wulei who begged you to go with him, wasn't it? Have you ever thought about why he wanted you to go along?"
"Senior Brother Zhang was merely mindful that Zhang Wulin is his blood-related brother, and wanted to go check on his condition while bringing him some food and clothes," Chu He lowered his voice to explain, thinking of what Zhang Wulei had said to him and worrying that, as expected, Master would punish him upon finding out.
