The message was strange and out of context, not at all like Gu Jue.
Lu Sangjiu suspected something was wrong, so she replied directly, "You're at the Lingjian Sect? I'll come find you."
After sending the reply, she turned to Xie Ningyuan and said, "It sounds like something's happened with Gu Jue. We need to make a trip to the Lingjian Sect."
Xie Ningyuan also considered Gu Jue a friend, so he naturally had no objections. He nodded and agreed, "Alright."
Just then, another message came back from Gu Jue, but it was just a single line: "Come alone."
'The events at the Cold Crow Sect couldn't be kept secret, so Gu Jue must already know that she and Xie Ningyuan left together.'
'So when he said "alone" right now...' Lu Sangjiu glanced at Xie Ningyuan beside her. 'Clearly, Gu Jue doesn't want Xie Ningyuan to come with me.'
'I just told Xie Ningyuan we'd go to the Lingjian Sect together, and now I have to tell him not to come...' Lu Sangjiu felt a little guilty and awkward.
