Sun Weimeng swallowed hard, his tone tinged with a hint of ingratiation: "When did you find out?"
He and Qiao Xi had wanted to keep it from Huo Xingzhou, fearing that it would upset him.
Huo Xingzhou snorted coldly: "The moment it happened."
How could such news escape his ears?
All along the way, he had been waiting for Sun Weimeng to confess, but he kept mum like a mute. These two actually thought they could keep such an important matter from him.
"Heh heh."
Sun Weimeng chuckled nervously, his eyes seeking rescue from Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi looped her arm through Huo Xingzhou's, her eyes and brows tinted with a touch of mirth: "Young Master Sun was just trying to stand up for me, the bet was a trap set by others. The opponent came prepared, but we are not pushovers. I will definitely get through this round safely."
After the first round of confrontation, Qiao Xi had actually already gotten a rough idea of her opponent's capabilities.
