The City Lord was furious. 'My wife is the kindest and most gentle woman in the world. How could she do something like this?'
'I'm the one whose hands are stained with blood! This was all my doing. They must be lying!'
But Shen Yuzhao shook his head sincerely. "I'm not lying to you. That's really what they said."
"But when we tried to question them further, they refused to say more. We did, however, get a clear look at the Cultivation Techniques they used—they were all arts employed by Evil Cultivators."
"So..." Shen Yuzhao looked at Ji Heng. "Are you an Evil Cultivator, too, my lady?"
Ji Heng's expression darkened, but she remained stubborn. "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Lu Sangjiu chuckled. "You really don't know?"
"To be honest, I thought you were innocent at first, too. But... that guard's confession today was just a little too smooth."
