"Yun Wan'er".
Shen Zhaozhao's voice was calm, but exceptionally clear in the deathly silent water prison, "How did you know the specifics of what happened after the seal was broken in secret?"
Yun Wan'er was startled for a moment, and her heart was filled with panic.
Why did Shen Zhaozhao suddenly ask this?
Could it be... that she sensed something?
No, impossible.
She helped Ye Wushang break the Yellow Springs seal in Liuyunchuan, and she did it so perfectly that even her master didn't notice anything. How could Shen Zhaozhao possibly know?

"How do you know such specific, almost secret details so clearly and with such certainty?"
Although Shen Zhaozhao was not tall, every word she spoke struck Yun Wan'er's tense nerves.
"What... perhaps you tried it yourself?"
