Chu Xuan pretended not to understand, still maintaining a righteous demeanor.
Chen Yunqi nodded upon seeing this and said, "I see, but it's just a trivial matter."
"Once this is done, I'll have Sister Hongzhuang take you to the Scripture Repository to browse through our sect's historical records. If you have any questions, feel free to ask her. She's my trusted confidant and knows most of the sect's secrets."
However, Chu Xuan refused, saying, "I've been ordered by the sect to act in secret. It's best if Sect Leader personally clears up my doubts."
Chen Yunqi hesitated, "Oh dear, Young Master Chu, don't you understand yet?"
"I promised my sister certain benefits. She's been working hard for years, constantly traveling for me. I assured her she'd eat well. Please bear with me a little and take care of her."
Chu Xuan's expression darkened. Was he really being treated like meat on a chopping board?
