Jian Li was momentarily stunned to see Jianfang—no, to see Jiandian. He put down the jade slip in his hand and asked with a frown, "Jianlu, didn't you say you were leaving the sect for a while? Why are you back so soon?"
Jian Fang was also looking at Jiandian. He had handed the jade slip to Hall Master Jian Li the moment he returned, and he couldn't understand why, since she was coming back anyway, she had made him bring a message separately.
Jiandian could only smile helplessly. After sitting down, she said, "I originally didn't want to show my face; I planned to finish my undercover mission and return straight to Tianmo Palace. But there were no ambushes on the return trip, and I was worried that the people in the shadows were plotting something big. I figured since I was already back, it would be safer to come in and give a direct report."
