Li Qiuyun's sharp gaze was fixed on Chen Ye.
She was noncommittal about Chen Ye's explanation, but her tone suddenly shifted, becoming a bit colder:
"Taoist Friend Chen seems to wash his hands quite clean of this. But how come I've heard that some days ago, Kong Hongxuan injured you outside the Market? Do you hold a grudge against him because of this and harbor killing intent?"
Hearing this, Chen Ye's heart skipped a beat.
He never imagined that the investigation by the Lingyin Sect would be so meticulous, uncovering even the brief conflict between him and Kong Hongxuan outside the Market!
Chen Ye smiled bitterly, spreading his hands: "Taoist Friend Li, you see things clearly, Hall Master Kong is such a figure, with profound cultivation. I, Chen, am just a mere Loose Cultivator; how would I dare to hold a grudge against Hall Master Kong, let alone harbor killing intent? This really puts me in a bind!"
