บท 83: For Hire

When Doctor Sun found out about his secrets, Gu Shenwei was shocked and tried to escape out of instinct. However, Doctor Sun was gripping his hand so tightly that he could hardly move.

Tie Hanfeng looked puzzled. "Doctor, he's my apprentice, not a spy."

"Is he? Why does he have the inner force of the Barren Sect then? Are the two sects friends now, instead of enemies? If so, this will be a blessing for the Western Region."

Even after learning the secret, Tie Hanfeng kept smiling and explained. "Oh, you can trust me on this, doctor. The force was forcefully infused into him by a traitor. That's exactly why we're here asking for your help."

Gu Shenwei was taken aback. The question, "Why did he cover for me? Is he planning to kill me later when we're alone?", appeared at the forefront of his mind.

Doctor Sun was suspicious of the excuse. "So, you believe him?"

"Of course, I do."
