Luo Yi nodded and said, "Chief Kuang, you really can’t escort Lord Lan to the Great Desolate Divine Corner. The contents of this jade slip are of utmost importance. You must come with me to see the Dao Lord. As for how you obtained the jade slip, you must report the details to the Dao Lord thoroughly."
Only then did Kuang Jue snap out of his daze and hurriedly replied, "Understood."
Lan Xiaobu knew that some matters weren’t for his ears, so he quickly took his leave from Luo Yi and Kuang Jue.
The moment Lan Xiaobu left, the smile on Luo Yi’s face vanished, replaced by an extremely grave tone.
"Chief Kuang, today’s matter is no small affair. You must tell me—do Lan Xiaobu and the others know the contents of the jade slip?"
Sensing Luo Yi’s killing intent, Kuang Jue’s heart skipped a beat.
But he answered firmly, "Pillar Master Luo, I never revealed anything from start to finish. They absolutely don’t know… Besides, those who intercepted me might have caught wind of something, so the matter has already spread to some extent."
His implication was clear—even if Lan Xiaobu and the others knew, there was no need to silence them.
