At another location on Eagle Cliff, there was also a debate unfolding.
"Is the place you mentioned before there?" Qiao Luoying asked.
Opposite her was Master Xuan Gan.
Master Xuan Gan clasped his hands in apology: "I'm sorry, you two. You mentioned needing a place, and I had agreed. But Miss Zhou is not an easy foe, and Young Master Xie is very shrewd; I had no choice but to give up."
Xiao Ling said, "Master need not feel this way; given the circumstances at that time... it could not have been helped."
Initially, Master Xuan Gan thought to take advantage of the situation. If they had been greedy, they might have rushed down first, and when escaping, they would surely have been injured. Then he could have justified himself.
But who would have expected that Xie Xingchen would see right through him?
