Seeing his gaze, Tang Tian'er's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stood up and called out, "Wait!"

Zuan stood at the door without turning around.

Tang Tian'er gritted her teeth: "Are you here today as Gold Medal Eleven or as Azu?"

"Is there a difference?" Zuan asked casually.

“If it’s someone who comes as a Gold Medal Embroidered Robe, that was my answer just now,” Tang Tian’er paused, then added, “If it’s A-Zu, I have another answer. I wonder if he’d be interested in hearing it?”

Zuan turned around and looked at her with some surprise.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope when he came this time, after all, he found that the other party seemed to have deliberately lied to him before.

Seeing him turn around, Tang Tian'er's sweet smile returned. She went over, took his arm, and pulled him back to his seat, saying, "It's not easy for friends to meet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Do you really consider me a friend?" Zuan sighed.

Tang Tian'er looked aggrieved: "If I didn't really consider you a friend, would I have gone to so much trouble?"

Zu An's heart skipped a beat. He thought of how she had made him hide in the bathtub to help him back then. He had to admit that if she really wanted to deceive him, there was no need to go to such lengths back then.

At this moment, Tang Tian'er slowly spoke: "It was indeed me who brought the seventh-ranked gold medalist to Blackwater Pool that night."

Zu An's heart skipped a beat: "The seventh-ranked gold medalist was killed by your Xiaoyao Tower?"

Tang Tian'er shook her head slightly: "At that time, the seventh-ranked gold medalist was already dead. I just brought his body there and threw it away."

"Why did you do this?" Zu'an asked, puzzled.

“I know there’s a turtle spirit in the Blackwater Pool. I want to use its eyes to tell the government some information: the seventh gold medalist died when he entered the water, and his cause of death happens to be drowning. You will definitely have suspicions.” Tang Tian’er couldn’t help but pout as she spoke. “I just didn’t expect that the court would send you to investigate the case.”

Zu An's heart skipped a beat: "It's to make us suspect that a master of mental magic attacked him, and the most famous master of that kind in the entire Yi County is Mr. Huo from the Yan Prince's Mansion."

“That’s right. Last time, the Prince of Yan tried to seize the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce’s share in Yunzhong County, and in recent years he has been ruthlessly exploiting Xiaoyao Tower in Yi County. Naturally, I have to retaliate.” Tang Tian’er said confidently.

Zuan frowned slightly. To be fair, her motives were indeed quite valid, but she always felt that she said it on purpose, as if there was something hidden behind it.

However, he didn't press the matter further, but instead asked another question: "According to the turtle, you seemed to be muttering to yourself that you wanted his body to be discovered as soon as possible. Weren't you worried that your whereabouts would also be exposed by the turtle spirit?"

"I let it see it on purpose," Tang Tian'er said with a mischievous smile. "According to the intelligence from Xiaoyao Tower over the years, the Prince of Yan has a very important partner who is a mysterious woman. However, we have never been able to find out her identity. So we wanted to use the turtle spirit to hint that there was a mysterious woman in your Prince of Yan's mansion, and we wanted to use you to investigate her identity. Who knew that you would not follow this line of investigation, but instead found out about me. This is the thing I can't understand the most."

Zu An's expression was strange. The mysterious woman she mentioned should be Yun Jianyue. The Yan King and the Demonic Sect were secretly colluding, and even many high-ranking members of the Yan King's Mansion or the Demonic Sect probably didn't know. Only the seventh-ranked Gold Medalist, with his rich experience, sensed something unusual.

Even more coincidentally, the Prince of Yan also wanted to shift the blame to Xiaoyao Tower, so he instructed Jiang Zhong to deliberately associate the woman's appearance with Tang Tian'er, and the original framing turned out to be a lucky accident.

So the question is, who is the real culprit who killed the seventh-ranked gold medalist?
