Surprised, Xia Xianning tightened the sound transmission talisman in his hand. He saw Zhu Caiwei manipulating Sundadan’s head and face. Sundadan struggled several times but failed, and then quickly became motionless, collapsing softly to the ground.
Xia Xianning’s expression tightened, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake. At first, he thought it was an earthquake, but then it stopped. Zhu Caiwei stood up in a panic and hurriedly walked outside.
Sundadan lay motionless on the ground. After a brief hesitation, Xia Xianning quietly followed. Zhu Caiwei seemed somewhat flustered.
In this place, besides himself and Luo Mingbai, who else could make her so wary?
Xia Xianning thought of a person.
He stopped at the cave entrance. Not far away, a man and a woman stood face to face. The man’s face was turned towards Xia Xianning – it was Ge Panming’s true appearance that Luo Mingbai had seen before.
Xia Xianning had never seen him and could roughly guess the situation, quietly watching from the side.
Zhu Caiwei’s voice was slightly joyful: “Panming, you came to find me?”
Ge Panming looked into the distance, his voice cold: “What are you doing here?”
Zhu Caiwei remained composed: “I’m checking on Sundadan. Today, Xia Xianning actually found this place in the Meng Hill. I’ve never felt completely at ease.”
Ge Panming’s face showed a hint of mockery: “Xia Xianning could find this place because you sent someone to the Changliu Sect in advance. I don’t like to argue with women. But with Sundadan already replaced by a puppet, if you hadn’t come, Xia Xianning wouldn’t have known. By coming, he might trace his way here. Are you worried, or are you sending a message?”
He hit the nail on the head with this remark, making it hard to tell whether he was mocking Zhu Caiwei’s low intelligence or genuinely suspecting her collusion with Xia Xianning.
However, having witnessed the scene in the cave earlier, Xia Xianning felt that Zhu Caiwei was hiding something from Ge Panming and could no longer wait.
There was no real unity between these two, and Ge Panming’s tone and expression showed no sign of liking Zhu Caiwei.
