"Hand me your jade sword," Yan Zhaoge reached out, taking the jade sword of Shi Jun's that was proffered to him.
Having received it, Yan Zhaoge put the tips of the two jade swords lightly together, a bright lustre extending as they met.
"Senior apprentice-brother Xu has one of these jade swords as well. He should have received a signal now. Let's go meet him outside the Star Shifting Sea."
Now, Yan Zhaoge and the Northern Ocean Clone swept along Shi Jun and Shen Ying, flying into the distance.
Brought along by Yan Zhaoge, Shen Ying appeared downcast and conflicted.
As Shi Jun looked concernedly at her, she smiled at him to indicate that she was fine, but it just seemed forced however he looked at it.
Thinking about Yan Zhaoge's earlier words, Shi Jun gradually came to a realisation.
If Shen Ying survived, revealing all the things that had happened that day in broad daylight, Shi Jun would be proven to be innocent.
