Taotie looked at Jiang Xi suspiciously, "Aren't you blind?"
How could they know that these men in black glanced at them when they came in?
“Tao Tao, sometimes you don’t necessarily have to look to know if someone is watching you,” Jiang Xi said. “Greed, disgust, pity, sympathy, care… these emotions can be sensed if you pay attention to your surroundings. It’s as simple as sensing an enemy’s killing intent without even turning around during a fight.”
"As for why I had doubts, it wasn't just because of the way they looked at me back then."
“Normally, people who do this kind of thing wouldn’t be stupid enough to waste time revealing their purpose. They’re all dead, is it necessary to say anything pointless? Let me guess, they’ll deliberately leave one survivor in the end, so they can pin the blame on the Holy Son’s faction…”
Jiang Xi spoke with remarkable fluency, as if he were the mastermind behind the entire plan. The more he spoke, the more beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the black-clad leader.
He never expected that the Goddess Lingyue's plan would be revealed so easily by the other party.
If you examine it closely, there are indeed many suspicious points... but a normal person wouldn't think that much, right?
Taotie inexplicably felt that this kid was sinister, like he was holding back something.
I should have given him a good beating during training instead of just ignoring his blindness!
Jiang Xi: "..."
——
Just two hours ago:
Inside a hidden passage in the Four Saints Hall, the old man respectfully knelt before the hooded woman before him: "Welcome back safely, Goddess Lingyue!"
The woman was clearly uninterested in these trivial formalities. She spoke directly and asked, "I heard that the people below have captured people from the Eastern Continent?"
"That's right, but... we investigated those people as you instructed, and we didn't find the person the Immortal Venerable was looking for..."
The woman under the hood changed her expression slightly, but fortunately the old man continued, "However, according to those people, there is another person undergoing tribulation on the mountain, who is their junior sister."
"It seems it's her after all. She knows how to play this game of feigned indifference, making the Immortal Lord unable to forget her." The woman snorted and said coldly, "Go and find a way to get rid of those guys from the Eastern Continent. As for her, after the tribulation, cultivators are at their weakest. Send people to keep watch in the shadows and get rid of this troublesome woman as soon as possible!"
The old man nodded, but still had some worries: "Goddess, the Immortal Venerable was already furious about what happened last time, and even disregarded our past relationship, personally taking action against you... If the Immortal Venerable finds out about this again, I'm afraid our entire Lingyue Sect will be in grave danger..."
"What's there to be afraid of? The Immortal Venerable is indeed powerful. But he holds a high position and doesn't bother with trivial matters below."
"Do you know about the collusion between officials? In the human realm, lower-level officials collude with each other to keep everything a secret, letting the emperor see what they want him to see. Even the most esteemed emperor, the supreme ruler, will know nothing."
"As long as the Immortal Venerable doesn't know, then we haven't done anything."
The woman chuckled, "She was lucky last time to be able to complain to the Immortal Venerable, but she can't be that lucky every time!"
The old man understood and immediately went to carry it out.
"Also... arrange a new identity for me," the woman said, taking off her hood. What the old man saw was a face almost identical to that of the Immortal Venerable Bai Yueguang. "Compared to the woman that the Spirit Moon God Child offered last time, I think... the Immortal Venerable will definitely prefer this face."
