Chapter 255 - 252: Spy?
"How could it be so fast?"
The beautiful woman dared not make any further moves, lowering her head to glance at the sword edge against her neck, her heart filled with immense shock. Ye Xuan’s sword had been much faster than hers, and moreover, he had defeated her merely using the scabbard. Such strength, even if placed within the inner house of Xuanbing Mansion, would absolutely be among the ranks of top experts.
Disciples of Xuanbing Mansion were divided into two levels, those of the inner house and the outer house. Only by passing through numerous tests could one qualify to become a disciple of the inner house, and the beautiful woman herself was an inner house disciple.
"Stop! If you dare harm a single hair on Senior Sister Zhuo Qian, you’re dead!"
Seeing Ye Xuan place his sword against the beautiful woman’s neck, the other disciples of Xuanbing Mansion also began to shout.
"I’m sorry."
Ye Xuan’s response was somewhat unexpected. He withdrew the Spiritual Edge Sword, half the blade returning to its sheath, and then cupped his hands towards the beautiful woman in front of him, "It was all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?"
Zhuo Qian looked at Ye Xuan with a mix of belief and doubt.
"I am here to find someone. It was just that your sect’s disciples attacked me without any explanation, and I was forced to defend myself. For any offense just now, I ask for your forgiveness." Ye Xuan was here to find Nangong Yao after all; he did not want to create any unnecessary conflicts with these Xuanbing Mansion disciples, so he took the initiative to apologize and took a step back in his approach.
"Is what he’s saying true?"
