1609 Shielding One’s Charge 3 (2/2)
She should just deny everything but she did not want to use lies against Su Ya who had treated her with a sincere heart.
Throughout the entire episode earlier, Su Ya had taken on an unwavering stance of protecting her and Jun Wu Xie was not willing to repay that with deceit but she also did not want to drag Su Ya into the plans she had planned which would just bring Su Ya unnecessary trouble.
Afterall, knowing Su Ya's character, if she came to know the kind of grievance she had with the Twelve Palaces, she would definitely jump right out and stand up for her.
Jun Wu Xie could only choose to remain silent.
Faced with silence, Su Ya just gave a long sigh. ”I will not probe any further on what happened between you and him but as your Master, I need to remind you that that kid is not to be trifled with carelessly. Although his power is only at the stage level of the Purple Spirit, the murderous aura exuding from his entire body is somewhat startling. People like this are highly prone to slaughter and many a time, fighting someone like this does not depend only on the power levels of the two parties. If the day comes that you have to fight him, you will have to strike quick, lethal and and true to the mark. If you are unable to kill him with one single strike, immediately escape. Do not give him the chance to strike.”
Su Ya looked earnestly at Jun Wu, her tone tinged with a kind of seriousness that Jun Wu Xie had never heard before.
Jun Wu might not have noticed it but Su Ya had detected it.
Although Gu Ying had only mentioned Jun Wu once, his words had nevertheless seeked to drag Jun Wu into the picture. With that, Gu Ying had done it highly subtly and if Su Ya had not seen that seemingly innocuous glance that Gu Ying had thrown upon Jun Wu, even she might not have noticed anything amiss.
”Your disciple understands.” Jun Wu Xie replied, snapping back to her senses and nodded her head. No matter how Su Ya had detected that she and Gu Ying knew each other, Su Ya was doing all of this for her sake.
Truthfully, Jun Wu Xie found Gu Ying's appearance here a little strange as well. From the moment Gu Ying appeared here till he left, it would seem like he had been asking Su Ya about the incident with Xu Mu. But thinking about it carefully, one would discover that he had not questioned about anything, to the extent that even Su Ya's highly implausible explanation, he had not raised any doubts nor probed any further for more details.
