Xu Zishu couldn't help but panic immediately and hurriedly began to explain: "Master, it's not like that, listen to my explanation..."
The Immortal Envoy on the loft sharply interrupted: "Explanation? First explain why you said you couldn't leave, yet ended up running here."
At this moment, Xu Zishu felt the sky above her head begin to darken, even the fiery sunrise unable to dispel the gloom. She was tongue-tied for a long while, then eventually dropped her head in resignation and said, "Disciple has nothing to say!"
Although Xu Zishu wasn't completely out of options for an explanation, like saying she was helped by someone to get here, instinct told her that this would only drag her into an increasingly unfavorable situation. Thus, she reluctantly put on an obedient facade to reduce her punishment, naturally hoping for lenience.
