"Junior Sister Ji, I was just joking before, please don't take it to heart."

Shen Wuji forced himself to smile, though it was a dry one. "Besides, I've already been exposed as an imposter by the people of Falling Cloud Valley and was severely injured by a Divine Transformation Realm formation spirit. Even in such a critical moment, I didn't drag you down with me."

"Considering I didn't ruin your plans, how about sparing me this once?"

At this moment, he was both frightened and anxious, yet he still referred to himself as Senior Brother, trying hard to appear harmless, hoping to awaken a nonexistent sense of pity in her.
