Feeling guilty, he looked at Xia Xianning, but this young man who had saved his life seemed in no hurry to clear his name, just standing silently with his arms crossed, watching Zhu Caiwei.
Sundadan felt a chill all over, not from fear, but from hatred. Looking at the woman before him with such apparent sincerity, he felt like vomiting. Zhu Caiwei’s hands on his shoulders were like two snakes lying there—cold, sticky, and nauseating.
But because of this, he knew Zhu Caiwei’s ruthlessness, and out of concern for his son, he dared not expose her on the spot. For a moment, he could not bring himself to respond according to Zhu Caiwei’s intentions, and both sides were at a stalemate.
Sundadan’s silence gradually aroused suspicion among others: “Clan leader, why aren’t you speaking?”
Zhu Caiwei’s hand gripped his shoulder tightly: “Yes, say something!”
Xia Xianning looked at her indifferently, witnessing Zhu Caiwei’s demeanor shift from composure to gradually losing her footing.
He had not interrupted earlier, just wanting to see if she would regret it.
Xia Xianning thought to himself, when Zhu Caiwei had initially decided to ambush Luo Mingbai to curry favor with Ge Panming, after stabbing Luo Mingbai with a knife and fleeing, would she feel the same panic and fear as she did now? Had she felt even a shred of remorse or guilt for her actions?
Such a person would not, would they?
Xia Xianning watched Zhu Caiwei perform long enough, then spoke coldly: “He is not speaking because he is afraid. Because the person who wants to kill him is not me, but you. I chased you to the Extinction Meng Hill with three reasons, and if you want to cover it up, I’ll say it myself.”
As he finally spoke, Zhu Caiwei heard his cold voice and felt a chill run through her entire body. Before she could refute, a sense of trembling arose from the depths of her heart.
Xia Xianning slightly raised his voice: “You were originally a disciple of the Changliu Sect, orphaned at a young age. The entire sect treated you well, with all masters and uncles treating you like their own child. But you were ungrateful, attacked a fellow disciple, and betrayed the sect. That’s one.”
