Xiao Ru did not grace Jing Jiang with a single look, as her beautiful eyes were completely focused on the man.
"Master…" She finally called out this title from years ago, though her voice was trembling. "Master, Jing Jiang and I are innocent. I merely mistook him for you, which is why I was together with him."
As though struck by lightning, Jing Jiang was completely dumbfounded. What did Ru'er's words mean? She had mistaken him for someone else all along?
The man looked up at Xiao Ru. His expression did not have the gentleness from when he was facing Huohuo, and his eyes were cold as though they were frozen.
"I saw everything that you did to Huohuo. Only someone like Jing Jiang would believe in your story! What was laughable was that you would actually be idiotic enough to mistake him as me!"
"Master, Disciple was wrong. Disciple was truly wrong." Tears stained Xiao Ru's face, and her body was fiercely shuddering.
