Staring at the sinister expression of Evil Sword Sovereign, Teale felt as if his feet were filled with lead, too terrified to move. He was dreadfully uneasy, even his breathing became cautious and tentative.
Michael spoke calmly, "This junior had no intention of offending Elder. If I didn’t speak out when I saw through, that would truly be an offense."
"What do you mean?" asked the Evil Sword Sovereign with a puzzled look.
Michael calmly explained, "I came to Tianlang City precisely for Elder. The deed I did in the Drunken Dust House was in hopes of drawing Elder to meet this junior.
The moment I saw Elder, I had a rough idea of your identity. I presume Elder had also noticed this. If I pretended not to know, that would truly be offending Elder’s wisdom!"
Upon hearing this, Evil Sword Sovereign was stunned and stood still.
Teale stared at Michael, his heart filled with utter admiration.
