Kapitel 154: Chapter 153: Gobi

Li Huowang appeared relaxed, yet he was secretly on guard, watching the monk in front of him.

Even though the monk hadn't done anything harmful to him, Li Huowang dared not take the risk and couldn't entrust his fate to someone else.

"Monk, can you tell me who you really are?" Li Huowang asked, half-jokingly.

Was he another person with ulterior motives against him?

Had the monk become a spy for Zhengde Temple?

Or was he the Oblivion Path that the abbess had mentioned?

Any of these possibilities were big trouble for him, regardless of which one it might be.

"Me? I'm a monk, why suddenly ask this?" The old monk expressed himself very frankly.

Li Huowang carefully observed any changes in the other's expression but didn't find anything amiss.

However, even without evidence, Li Huowang could no longer easily trust him.

The safest measure when one could not determine whether there was danger was to keep away, and that was exactly what Li Huowang intended to do.
