Ming Yue was behind him, positioned in such a way that the Junior Brother's silhouette covered her. He did not dare move, not even to look behind.
"You... Were you the one watching us?" he questioned but the knife only pressed harder.
The only thing he had to go on was her voice, delicate but firm.
"Answer my question! What are you and the Tao Feng planning to do? Where are the other four groups headed?" she pushed for answers but he did not falter.
"I am a loyal disciple of Sect Leader Dai and I will not say a thing. You are better off killing me instead. If you do, my seniors will avenge me."
Junior Brother Shou spoke defiantly and even went on to threaten her instead. She frowned from this response, unsure of what to do now. From his tone, he did not lie and was ready to die here. As easily as she could kill him now, this was a chance and she wasn't going to waste it.
