Liu Lianyi bit her lip gently and shook her head. "I haven't."
She wasn't lying. The Sect Leader had indeed sent word for Shen Lang to come down. She had merely concealed the reason. The Sect Leader's original words were, "The other Immortal Sects are at our door, demanding that the one who ruined the Broken Spring Meeting pay the price. The Immortal Venerable probably doesn't care much for that beggar girl, so just trick her into coming down. We mustn't disturb His Lordship."
She had readily agreed at the time, so of course, she had to follow through now.
But to her surprise, Changfan said indifferently, "If you won't state the reason, then she doesn't have to go."
"..." Liu Lianyi froze. A dark glint flashed in her eyes as she said in a low voice, "But... I already promised the Sect Leader..."
Changfan gazed at her calmly, his eyes as still as water. Beneath his long lashes, his crystal-like irises held not a trace of warmth.
