Zhan Xintang was stunned. He had never expected that such a casual remark would reveal something he had concealed for three thousand years. He had never expected Yun Yue to be so meticulous that she would not even miss a single word he said.
Zhan Xintang's surprise was a silent confirmation to Yun Yue. Yun Yue stared intently into Zhan Xintang's eyes and continued, "Who is the murderer? Who is the murderer who has made you bear the blame for three thousand years?"
Yun Yue asked as she recalled everything that happened at the time of the crime. All the people present at the time flashed before her eyes one by one.
Seeing Zhan Xintang's eyes flickering, Yun Yue's lips curled up into a cold smile.
"Grand Elder!"
These three words struck Zhan Xintang's heart like thunder, causing his heart to tighten suddenly.
When Yun Yue said these three words, she did not use a questioning tone, but an extremely affirmative tone.
After the Chiyan incident was over, the Great Elder came to him to confess his sins and seek his forgiveness. He also promised the Great Elder to keep the matter a secret forever.
However, he didn't expect that when he spoke to Yun Yue for the first time today about what happened three thousand years ago, he inadvertently betrayed the Great Elder.
While feeling infinite regret in my heart, I was also secretly frightened.
Because of Yun Yue's fleeting smile, he suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
"Yuer, the Great Elder...he didn't mean it." When saying this, Zhan Xintang obviously felt that he lacked confidence.
At that time, the Great Elder followed them specifically to take Chi Yan's life. If he didn't do it on purpose, then I really don't know what it means to do it on purpose.
But the Great Elder is the elder of his dragon clan after all. As the crown prince, he still has the obligation to ensure his safety and speak well of him.
Yun Yue looked at Zhan Xintang and asked, "Brother Xin, don't you feel a little insecure when you say this on behalf of the Great Elder?"
Zhan Xintang: "..."
"Brother Xin, I'm sorry!"
Yun Yue's apology made some of the things that Zhan Xintang insisted on in his heart collapse.
Back then, Yun Yue insisted that it was him who did it without any investigation, and he felt really hurt about it.
He and Yun Yue had known each other for five thousand years, yet he couldn't even get her to agree on the major issues. This was also the main reason why he finally agreed to conceal the matter for the Great Elder and was too lazy to explain.
He didn't care what others thought of him. What he cared about was what Yun Yue thought of him.
So when Yun Yue faced him with that face that was so cold that it scared him, on the one hand he wanted to provoke her, but on the other hand he was heartbroken because he couldn't get her trust.
Now, after waiting for three thousand years, they met again, and he finally heard Yun Yue say sorry. You can imagine how he feels now.
What he wanted was not the sorry, but the unspoken trust in her words.
Seeing Zhan Xintang's tears almost overflowing from his eyes, Yun Yue said guiltily: "When I saw Chi Yan's death, I was completely stunned. At that time, apart from thinking about revenge for Chi Yan and killing those who hurt him, there was no other thought in my mind.
But when I saw the Red Flame Magic Pill tightly clenched in your hands, I completely collapsed. One of you is my beloved, the other is my confidant, both of you are indispensable, yet it is you who holds the Red Flame Magic Pill.
