Chapter 1611: Probing

"Don't worry, the sect master of the Tianyun Sect isn't here. Naturally, no one will be able to accept this gift," Sima Bei continued.

Even though that was the case, Yong Ji still didn't intend to extend his hand to accept the gift. He said somewhat awkwardly, "Lord Sima, please choose someone else. I... haven't been feeling too well recently."

Sima Bei sneered, "Why? Just the Tianyun Sect's sect master has scared you to this extent? I told you already, he's not here!"

"I know he's not here. I just haven't been feeling well recently," Yong Ji braced himself and said.

Sima Bei frowned slightly. It was very obvious that he had underestimated Yong Ji's fear of the Tianyun Sect's sect master and overestimated Yong Ji's courage.
