What else could he have said though? Everyone saw what happened, so he couldn't denigrate Chu Liuyue even if he wanted to. Besides, there was nothing he could do since the red-tailed phoenix had already contracted with her.
Chu Liuyue looked at him in concern. "What's wrong, Elder Qiuxi? Is everything alright?"
Elder Qiuxi stiffly retracted his hand, flinging his sleeve powerfully in the process as he turned his head away. What I can't see won't hurt me!
