"Yes."
Xu Ke forced a bitter smile. "I don't know where he came from either. All I know is that he stepped in to save me."
"Strange..."
Hearing this, a hint of suspicion appeared on Duan Chongfeng's face. "Could this person just have been passing by?"
Despite saying so, Duan Chongfeng absolutely did not believe the black-clad elder was unrelated to Xu Ke. Furthermore, the elder's parting words about not being able to stay in Tianhai were quite questionable.
"Perhaps..." Xu Ke's expression was inscrutable.
He still remembered being on the verge of unconsciousness that morning and hearing the old man say someone had sent him for protection. Xu Ke couldn't be sure who it was, which is why he didn't tell Duan Chongfeng the whole truth. Several answers flashed through his mind, the most likely being that his master had sent someone. But he clearly remembered his master had always been a loner...
Unable to figure it out, Xu Ke decided to let it go.
