Bab 68: The Culprit behind Huan's poisoning [2]

"Now, I want to ask you a question..." 

At Yuan's words, Xu Luli looked directly at him.

"You can ask, but I am sure my brother would never do that!" She spoke emotionally.

"Ok. We will know later... Have you ever tried to betray or poison Huan?" Yuan asked.

"No!" Xu Luli spoke firmly. She would never do such kind of despicable things.

"...Truth. Why did you save Huan?" Yuan asked again without wasting another second. Time was precious to him.

[45 sec.]

"... It was my brother who wanted us to save him..." Xu Luli spoke after a brief pause.

Yuan nodded his head at her then turned his attention toward his disciple.

{Now, I need to deal with the first trust issue...}

"Ok. Now, Huan tell me, would you ever betray me?" He asked with a serious tone.

"Huh? Of course not Master! I will never betray you!" Huan was slightly confused by his master's words but answered his honest opinion nevertheless.
