Chapter 2841: Chapter 2841: So, What?
He lowered his head, his eyes darting around, and racked his brains to come up with a good excuse before lifting his head to look at Qian Jiyun again.
"I just wanted to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks and keep an eye on those people for you, that’s why I pretended to join Shadow Killer and them, Lord, you have to believe me, how could I possibly betray you?"
At this point, he could only portray himself as someone willing to sacrifice for Qian Jiyun to escape this predicament.
He knew that now that he was caught, Shadow Killer’s subsequent assassinations would surely go up in smoke. With the operation failing, he would be nothing but a pawn to them.
He could only sever ties with Shadow Killer and them to save himself.
"Yes, that’s it, Lord, you really misunderstood, I did all this for you!"
However, the reason he gave couldn’t even convince himself, so he added another sentence to ensure he could be forgiven.
Qian Jiyun was amused to the point of anger when he heard his words.
He had never seen someone so shameless; even when caught red-handed, he could still forcefully pull out such an excuse to try and turn the tables.
"So what?"
"So, what?"
Gao Dong replied blankly to Qian Jiyun’s question, not understanding what he wanted to know.
"So, Gao Dong, do you think that everyone in this world is a fool except for you?" Qian Jiyun directly laid it bare for him.
"Your fate was decided the moment you agreed to cooperate with Shadow Killer and sold the camp’s information to him. Now you only face two choices: one, say nothing and die on Huayan Peak.
The second is: tell me who is behind Shadow Killer, and I can have your body sent back to the planes, giving you a complete corpse and preserving some dignity for your Gao Family!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Dong fell to the ground, his complexion as pale as paper.
He was finished, truly finished.
"I don’t... I don’t know, I’ve only met Shadow Killer; I’ve never seen the person behind him." The one behind Shadow Killer, whom he called the master, wasn’t someone Gao Dong could meet just by wishing.
He had only heard rumors, hoping that perhaps after completing a few major tasks, he might have the fortune to meet them.
But he had merely drawn a map of the camp’s defenses for Shadow Killer and got caught, without accomplishing anything significant. How could he possibly meet the master?
"I only know that person is very powerful, very young, but nothing else."
Hearing this, the two guards escorting him in couldn’t help but smirk mockingly; Gao Dong was truly out of his mind. To betray Lord Qian and the inter-plane travelers on Huayan Peak for someone he’d never even met?
What was he thinking? Didn’t he realize that following the inter-plane travelers was a good life, rather than trying to curry favor with someone without even knowing their name?
The key point was that he failed in his favor-currying; instead, he got himself caught.
Qian Jiyun also knew that Gao Dong wouldn’t have met that person and didn’t expect to get any answers from him. "Alright, there’s no need to abolish his cultivation level either."
He sighed lightly.
Hearing his words, Gao Dong thought he was saved, his eyes lit up suddenly.
"Lord... uh!"
