Xu Wang left, leaving Yuan Xiang standing there with an embarrassed expression.
After a slight hesitation, she suddenly bowed deeply to Lu Ye and apologized with sincere eyes, "Senior Brother Lu, I'm sorry. You saved me, and yet I lied to you."
Actually, on the way back, she was filled with self-reproach, but for the safety of the stronghold, she had no choice but to act that way, which was related to the teachings she'd received since she was young.
Had they casually brought an outsider of unknown origin back with them, this stronghold would not have been able to exist peacefully for over a decade.
Before Lu Ye could speak, Ying Wuji intervened with a sardonic tone, "Just apologizing with words hardly shows any sincerity!"
"Sincerity..." Yuan Xiang seemed to understand and stood up, saying, "Please wait a moment, dear Senior Brothers."
With that, she turned around and ran out, leaving them to wonder what she was going to do.
