Upon hearing Wu De's inquiry about Fang Bai, Xia Chenyu first nodded, then shook her head.
"Chenyu, sis, what's the meaning of nodding and shaking your head like that?"
Wu De asked, looking puzzled.
Xia Chenyu said, "Actually, I've been with Fang Bai this whole time. It's just that now... I don't know how he's doing..."
In brief words, Xia Chenyu recounted the events of her encountering Zu Hanjiao alongside Fang Bai to Wu De, then turned and gestured to Li Chenzhou next to her, introducing him: "Taoist Priest Wu, this is Li Chenzhou, Brother Li. He's a friend Fang Bai and I met in the True Martial Realm."
She then motioned toward Wu De and said to Li Chenzhou, "Brother Li, this is Taoist Priest Wu, Wu De. He's a friend Fang Bai and I first met in the secular world."
While talking with Xia Chenyu earlier, Wu De had been secretly observing Li Chenzhou out of the corner of his eye, silently speculating about his identity.
