Little Guozi was so anxious that she cried.
"Why aren't you moving? Let's go..."
Song Xiwei's mind was buzzing. "We can't leave."
If she leaves, she'll be truly blamed for this.
"I know it wasn't you. You wouldn't stoop to doing something like that. You think that if you leave, these people's lives will fall on your head, and the evidence will be irrefutable. But if you don't leave, those people will still be convinced it was you and won't let you go. Don't underestimate them. When they're desperate, they're terrifying. Besides, you might not even use your real skills to deal with them. In the end, won't you be the one who suffers?"
Little Fruit was in a state of panic. "You should leave now before they find this place."
"Where are the bodies of those elders?" Song Xi asked.
Little Guozi was almost in tears, "Why are you still worrying about these things at a time like this?"
"The real culprit was able to kill so many elders without anyone noticing, and in such a short time, he accused me of offending him and caused the entire demon race to attack me. If I leave like this, the entire demon race will probably no longer be his demon race when Aoqian returns." Song Xiwei didn't expect that the other party was really in a hurry, not giving her any time to catch her breath.
Fortunately, she and Aoqian are now acting separately, so they won't be caught in one fell swoop.
"Are you really not leaving?" Little Fruit sniffled, her eyes red from crying.
"Don't cry, little one. Things aren't beyond repair yet. Tell me first, where are the elders' bodies?" Song Xiwei managed to comfort Xiao Guozi for a few moments.
Little Fruit sniffed. "In the Elders' Hall, but I heard that the bodies will be cremated soon because they're poisonous. They're worried the poison will spread, so they can't leave the bodies alive..."
"Poison?" Song Xi's eyes flickered. The other party had really planned to destroy the evidence.
"Alright, I understand. Don't worry, I'm tough as nails, I'm not so easily fooled. Just pretend you don't know anything about these things, go back to the Hundred Herbs Garden, and don't get involved in the gossip outside. Be good."
Little Fruit pouted, "Then you must take care of yourself and wait safely for the King to return. If anything happens to you, he will be worried to death..."
Don't worry.
After Xiao Guozi returned to the Hundred Herbs Garden, Song Xiwei quietly went to the Elders' Hall.
Hiding in the shadows, I saw that those people had already started burning the corpses.
Are you sure the person surnamed Song will show up?
"Yes, maybe he heard the news and ran away..."
"Let him run away. The demons don't need to listen to his nonsense. Everyone can do whatever they want!"
"But the Demon Lord will return sooner or later, and then he'll investigate..."
"If the Demon Lord wants to investigate, he should investigate the one surnamed Song, right? Don't forget, so many of our elders were killed by that Song!"
"But the Demon Lord trusts the man surnamed Song so much, I'm afraid he might become suspicious..."
"We'll soon be dead and unable to prove anything. What's the use of suspicion? We have the entire demon race as witnesses. It was that man surnamed Song who killed him! If he escapes, the charge will be confirmed! Even if he has the Demon Lord's favor, it won't change the fact that he will be wanted by the demon race for life!"
"What if someone surnamed Song shows up?"
Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard the voice; it sounded somewhat familiar.
When he realized what was happening, he looked behind a pillar not far away.
"It's you? You're incredibly audacious to actually show your face like this!"
"Those surnamed Song, kill them without mercy!!"
The cries of condemnation instantly resounded throughout the entire Elders' Hall.
Song Xiwei deliberately showed herself.
There was a traitor among these people; if she didn't show herself, that would be exactly what they wanted.
She had just observed from the shadows and discovered that someone was clearly trying to stir up trouble, trying to prevent her from showing herself and making it clear that she had escaped.
However, whenever a few people suggested that he appear, they would be interrupted.
Therefore, Song Xiwei had to appear before the elder's body was completely burned, even if there was only a slight chance.
