C485 Concealing the Truth

Lee Zhuohua knew the reason why the two Prefecture Masters came to find him. He had already suppressed the thoughts in his heart from before. Now he needed to think about how to deal with their questions.

Of course he couldn't tell the truth about the essence. It was too shocking, and it wouldn't do him any good if it got out, and he had to be careful not to attract attention.

"OK." Chu Angsheng and Lih Hongtao nodded slightly when they heard Lee Zhuohua's voice.

They had also noticed Lee Zhuohua's alert action just now, but they also knew that their appearance was too sudden. It was not surprising that Lee Zhuohua would have such a reaction, so they did not pay any attention to Lee Zhuohua's disrespectful action just now.

However, the fact that Lee Zhuohua was able to react and adjust his state of mind immediately gave Chu Angsheng and the others some clues.

The two of them looked at each other, seeing the thoughts in each other's eyes.

"It seems like he's hiding something in his heart." Chu Angsheng said to Lih Hongtao.

"I'm afraid it's related to our purpose of coming here." Lih Hongtao replied to Chu Angsheng with a sound transmission.

Because the two of them were using a secret sound transmission method, Lee Zhuohua did not know that the two Prefecture Masters who looked normal on the surface were secretly communicating with each other.

After Lee Zhuohua bowed to the two of them, he intentionally revealed an surprised expression on his face. It was obvious that he wanted to use this to deceive the two of them.

Chu Angsheng carefully examined Lee Zhuohua's actions, wanting to see through his subtle expression, but Lee Zhuohua's disguise was too good. Other than making them feel a little strange at the beginning, they could only sense that Lee Zhuohua did not know why the two of them were here looking for him.

There was no sound from the three of them in the small room, and for a moment the atmosphere was heavy.

Chu Angsheng and the other man locked their gazes on Lee Zhuohua. Lee Zhuohua, on the other hand, was observing the situation carefully. It was clear that he did not know anything.

Seeing this, Chu Angsheng also knew that Lee Zhuohua would not easily tell them about himself. Even if he told them, it might not be true.

However, he still wanted to test Lee Zhuohua.

"Do you know why we came here to find you?" Chu Angsheng asked in a probing manner, breaking the silence. However, his eyes were paying attention to Lee Zhuohua's change in expression and the fluctuations of his aura.

When Lee Zhuohua heard Chu Angsheng's question, he secretly thought to himself, Sure enough, it has come. However, his thoughts were hidden very well, and his face did not reveal the slightest flaw.

"This disciple does not know. May I ask why the two Prefecture Masters are looking for this disciple?" Lee Zhuohua bowed once again and pretended not to know the reason they were looking for him. He even deliberately asked them a question in order to make them believe that he really did not know the purpose of the two masters' visit.

Chu Angsheng looked at the young man in front of him and realized that when he spoke, no matter whether it was his expression or his aura, there was no sign of disorder. He knew that he would not be able to get anything out of him today. It was obvious that Lee Zhuohua was intentionally hiding what happened to him.

With that, Chu Angsheng withdrew his probing gaze. His eyes were slightly lowered, making it impossible to see what he was calculating.

Lih Hongtao, who was at the side, was also paying attention to Lee Zhuohua's condition. He could also sense that Lee Zhuohua did not plan to confess to the matter of the shadow.

"What should we do? Should we..." Lih Hongtao asked Chu Angsheng. He knew that he would not be able to get anything out of him if he asked him normally, so he planned to use other methods to pry something out of Lee Zhuohua's mouth.

"Never mind. He has his own concerns, and even you and I can't tell what he's got. He's obviously got some sort of important secret, and if we were him, we wouldn't tell anyone about our own secrets, let alone him."

"And, even if we did force him, we wouldn't necessarily have been able to get the truth out of him, and we'd have made him feel ill about us. You've seen his talent, and such a man is not fit to be oppressed."

Chu Angsheng stopped Lih Hongtao's train of thought and analyzed the situation in this manner. He had always valued Lee Zhuohua's talent. Although he was also curious as to what kind of secret Lee Zhuohua had on him, if he made Lee Zhuohua have a bad impression of the school due to this, it would be a bit of a disadvantage.

Lih Hongtao understood after listening to Chu Angsheng's analysis. He frowned slightly and did not mention the idea anymore.

He also knew that Lee Zhuohua's talent could be considered one of the top talents in the Outer Palace, so he would not destroy him.

"But you don't have to be anxious. Maybe he won't say it now, but he might not say it in the future." At last, Chu Angsheng said something to Lih Hongtao that made it hard for anyone to read his mind.

Lee Zhuohua stood in front of the two of them, and after he asked them back, he realized that the two Prefecture Masters did not answer him. Instead, they were looking at him quietly. His attention was very sharp, and he also noticed the fluctuations in the eyes of the two of them.

"It seems that they are communicating through telepathy..." Lee Zhuohua's eyes flashed with a trace of light, but it disappeared in an instant. There was nothing strange about his expression.

The two of them knew that they would not be able to get any more answers from him today, so they decided not to ask Lee Zhuohua about the shadow anymore.

"You don't have to think too much about it. The two of us have only found out some interesting things, but this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, so you don't have to worry about it." Chu Angsheng said to Lee Zhuohua after a long silence.

When Lee Zhuohua heard the other party's words, he knew in his heart that the other party did not intend to pry into his secrets anymore. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Originally, he was still thinking about how he should deal with the questions of the two of them, but now it seemed like he had been mistaken.

However, he had to act until the end. No one could see through his true thoughts on the surface.

"Interesting thing? I wonder what the Prefecture Master is talking about. "Lee Zhuohua revealed a curious expression and asked. He looked as if he did not understand the situation at all.

When Chu Angsheng saw Lee Zhuohua's expression, although his face did not change, he could not help but smile in his heart. He felt that this young man was quite interesting.

"You don't have to worry about that. Well, since this has nothing to do with you, we won't stay here any longer. Cultivate hard." Chu Angsheng said slowly. Although his words were watertight, the teasing intent behind them was very clear.

Hearing this, Lee Zhuohua was completely relieved. He was no longer worried that these two would interrogate him about anything.

"I will listen to the teachings of the Prefecture Master." Lee Zhuohua said with a solemn expression.

"Okay." Chu Angsheng casually replied. After that, he and Lih Hongtao disappeared from the room as if they had just appeared.

Lee Zhuohua raised his head and found that the two of them had already disappeared. His face deliberately revealed a surprised expression, but in his heart, he was still wondering if they had really left.

"Principal?" Lee Zhuohua called out tentatively.

However, he was the only one left in the room. When no one answered him, he relaxed.

After realizing that the two Prefecture Masters had left, the expression on Lee Zhuohua's face started to return to its original indifference. He looked at the place where Chu Angsheng and the other man were standing before returning to his bed and sitting down cross-legged.

"I'd better be careful in the future. This time it's a fluke, and if I run into someone who has bad intentions, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble today." Lee Zhuohua said in his heart. He made up his mind that he would not easily reveal his unique essence in front of others in the future.

...

On the other side, after the two of them disappeared from Lee Zhuohua's room, they did not immediately rush to the venue. Instead, they stood in the void and looked down at the position of the Lake Gate with meaningful expressions on their faces.

"This kid is a good one to be so cautious," Chu Angsheng said.

"Indeed. His talent is not bad and he knows how to endure. If he does not die prematurely in the future, there will definitely be a place for him in the Inner Palace." Lih Hongtao also commented on Lee Zhuohua in this way.

"And what happened to him?" Lih Hongtao was still concerned about the secret on Lee Zhuohua's body, but he did not know what Chu Angsheng was thinking at this moment, so he asked with some uncertainty.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but before that, you'll have to check him out. It seems to me that his secrets involve something far beyond our imagination." Chu Angsheng waved his hand and said.

"Understood." Hearing Chu Angsheng's words, Lih Hongtao also understood. He did not ask any further questions and only replied with a single sentence before falling silent.

The two of them remained in the air for a while before disappearing in a flash. It was as if they were heading towards the training venue.
