"No, that's not it!"
Jiang Chen gently shook his head: "I did not detect anyone around us, but when I was talking to Zhou Liecheng just now, I subtly hinted at something to him. He's very clever and understood the meaning behind my words. Rather than speaking openly, he communicated with me through veiled language. And later, he gave me a hint, so I suspect someone may be around us!"
"A hint? When did he remind you?" Leng Ming looked at Jiang Chen with a completely baffled expression.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly: "How could Zhou Liecheng, a practitioner at the brink of the Venerable Realm, possibly have eye discomfort?"
"This... was he telling you that someone was watching?" Dong Jianfeng exclaimed in astonishment, and everyone's face changed color.
"Exactly."
Jiang Chen nodded: "That's why I deliberately used my momentum to disrupt the two ancestors momentarily and asked Ancestor Yue to help shield us."
