As Huang Ziyue listened to her analysis, murderous intent flared in his eyes.
’What a brazen woman, to actually think she could kill Shen Yue.’
Thankfully, they had known about the surprise attack beforehand. He had struck a step faster than that woman, sending her flying.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He cut right to the heart of the matter:
"As a weak female with no spiritual power, it’s impossible for her to have been so vigilant the moment danger struck. Her reaction was faster than the hidden weapon itself!"
"Therefore, that point alone is enough to prove she knew about the attack in advance!"
His aura turned icy, and he wished he could go flay Xiao Ya alive right then and there.
Shen Yue sensed the change in him.
"Don’t be rash. I know you’re angry."
"But what I’m not sure about is this: how could someone who grew up in Luoxi Town, who came from the deep mountains, manage to orchestrate such a scheme? Don’t you find it strange?"
At this, Shen Yue looked at Huang Ziyue.
"Send someone to Luoxi Town immediately. Investigate Xiao Ya’s upbringing and background."
Huang Ziyue listened, falling silent for a moment.
Shen Yue looked up.
"What’s wrong? If you don’t have anyone, I’ll send my own people back."
The Mystic Mechanism Building’s hidden agents were buried deep within every country.
She hadn’t utilized the Mystic Mechanism Building in Ye Country for many years.
This time, it was finally time to put them to use.
But after she finished speaking, Huang Ziyue thought for a moment before saying:
"I’m afraid there are no survivors left in Luoxi Town!"
After all, Shen Yue had personally "dealt with" them to avenge Bai Chaosi.
’I wonder if the townspeople who were hung from the trees have already been devoured by wild beasts, leaving nothing but white bones.’
At his reminder, Shen Yue’s expression genuinely turned awkward for a second.
Then, she gave a little cough...
The air grew quiet.
After a long moment, she averted her gaze and reluctantly admitted the truth:
"Don’t worry, they’re not dead!"
’How could I possibly massacre an entire town of people?’
’No matter how angry I was, I could never actually take their lives.’
’They might be foolish and narrow-minded...’
’But their crimes didn’t warrant death, and besides, there were so many children.’
’At most, I just let some of their blood as punishment on behalf of Bai Chaosi.’
’I even left medicine for their wounds after I turned to leave.’
When Huang Ziyue heard this, he didn’t react at first.
But seeing her awkward, evasive expression and piecing it together with her words, he seemed to understand everything in an instant.
The love that filled his eyes in that moment was so thick it was almost tangible.
’How could he not know? From the very beginning, Shen Yue was never the kind of person to slaughter the innocent.’
’She was completely incapable of it.’
’Because she was destined to protect the world, to be the one who brings light to others.’
’She was the dawn, she was salvation—a light illuminating the Beast World People who lived in darkness.’
’Being the light, how could she ever do such a thing?’
’So, she was still herself. She had never crossed the line or abandoned her principles for anyone.’
He looked at her, his voice husky.
"Alright. When Wu Huo returns, I’ll send him back to Luoxi Town to investigate personally."
’Shen Yue knew that Huang Ziyue didn’t ask any more questions about the people of Luoxi Town. He must have understood. He understood that she wasn’t capable of such a thing.’
’She was touched. This man could instantly grasp and understand her thoughts without needing many words.’
However, the mention of Wu Huo made her immediately say:
"Right, Wu Huo has been gone for half the day and still isn’t back. Don’t tell me he actually caught the one who escaped with a severed tail?"
Huang Ziyue considered this for a moment, then shook his head.
