Shen Ningning blinked. "What surprising discovery?"
Xie Ming'an pulled over a stool and sat down across from her.
"Those people are spies planted in our Cangyun Country by Changliu Country."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ningning's small mouth formed a surprised "O."
Then, she clenched her small fists in a fit of anger.
"How can Changliu Country be so evil? Why would they try to assassinate me?"
She thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Could it be because that... what's-his-name, Matsuboto, lost last time? He went back, couldn't accept it, and decided to use such a dirty trick."
Xie Ming'an shook his head.
"They found out you used Spirit Grass to supply my older brother, which allowed the soldiers of Cangyun Country to hold the lone city and remain undefeated for many days."
"They also heard of your reputation as a blessed girl from other sources, and that's why they want you dead."
