"No," Lv Qing affirmed with certainty, "ever since he ascended the mountain, I haven't left his side for a moment, and he definitely did not bring a cat."
"Inseparable…" Yu Zhu Taoist savored these words, her complexion suddenly turned somewhat unsightly, evidently thinking of some matters that displeased her as a master.
But in front of Lv Qing, she didn't want to say it outright, fearing that if Lv Qing learned that her own secrets had been probed by the person she regarded as a parental figure, it might trigger a sense of shame, and in turn anger from being intrusively investigated.
Therefore, she shifted the topic, jokingly saying, "Since you insist on thinking so, I remember Jiang Lu also went up the mountain with the Mysterious Lady. Why don't you let it go and see if it can pick up on Jiang Lu's scent, which could lead us to the Mysterious Lady and the others."
Unexpectedly, Lv Qing took the joke seriously: "I'll give it a try."
