Song Zhe scoffed, his tone dripping with sarcasm:
"How is it that I know nothing of this? If you ask me, someone is clearly trying to hand over our sect's legacy to the Nie Family on a silver platter as a stepping stone for their own ambitions! The death of Master Ouyang back then was suspicious. One might even say someone was secretly plotting…"
