The Grand Wealth Lord's spirit Qi fluctuated ever so slightly as he coldly said, "Enough of your nonsense. Be obedient and follow me back to confess your sins!"
Ace narrowed his eyes as he calmly stated, "What sins? Sect Master, I think you have misunderstood the situation. Although I admit I was hiding my real power, I was doing it under the order of the Matriarch."
The Grand Wealth Lord was startled when he heard that unexpected revelation, and he couldn't find any trace of deceit from Ace's words, nor did Ace's expression change.
