"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking. I happened to be passing by when I overheard the Eagle Clan's chieftain mention using Ge Wu as a scapegoat. That's why I stopped him from returning to the tribe back then."
She was direct, not mincing any words.
Gu Si stared into her eyes.
But there wasn't the slightest hint of a joke in Chu Jing's eyes.
He finally spoke, his voice low and apologetic.
"I misunderstood you, Female Master."

She just had her own unspoken reasons.
He had always firmly believed one thing.
'She used to be so gentle and kind. How could she have suddenly become so vicious?'
"I'll go inform Ge Wu right now. I'll tell him to be on high alert."
With that, he turned and headed for the cave entrance.
But Chu Jing, standing behind him, didn't move.
The corners of her lips curved into a faint smile.
'So easy to fool.'
But in reality, things were far from that simple.
