“But at that time, I felt something was off. First, the death of Lady Wang Yun was everywhere marked with traces of the Huan Sha Sect, yet I was in the middle of it all, unaware of who was behind it. When I tried to contact my sect mates, no one knew anything. Then, the Unmanned Escort Agency came to deliver gifts, and in the end, there were three, not the two the old sect leader had decided on. I was very confused and felt uneasy… not knowing who had such insight into our sect’s affairs, even adding an unheard-of ‘Shan Shui Yao’ at the end.”
“At that time, I didn’t know the sect leader was dead, so I decided to stay by your side to see what those people were up to. The events that followed, you are aware of. Su Feng Hua infiltrated the Jun household, telling me of the old sect leader’s death, making me even more uneasy. That trip to Jun Mountain, I was extremely reluctant to go.”
Jun Ye’an nodded, signaling her to continue.
“The day before the incident with Qing Long, Su Feng Hua found me, saying he needed to take me to Jun Mountain immediately to find you — because there was a secret of the Huan Sha Sect hidden in the secret chamber, related to the old sect leader, which couldn’t be known by outsiders. He gave me a drug to secretly administer to Bai Xue and Qing Long. I checked it carefully; it was indeed just a sleeping powder. With the two of them by my side, I couldn’t leave, so I added it to their tea. Later that day, in the back garden of the temple, they had added mandala powder to the osmanthus, which was colorless and odorless, mixing with the tea’s powder, creating a potent intoxicating agent. Qing Long… though killed by Su Feng Hua’s men, it was because of me.”
