Snow Shadow Celestial Master did not want to part ways with her parents, but she understood that it was not the right time.
Xuan Yuan Rou transmitted back, “Daughter, take care of yourself. Your father and I will be fine, so you don’t need to worry about us.”
“Once your father takes revenge in the future, we can be together forever.”
Tan Yun transmitted, “Go ahead, don’t worry about me and your mother. I will take good care of her.”
“Mm, take care of yourselves.” After transmitting, Snow Shadow Celestial Master coldly looked at Lingxia Celestial Master, “You know very well that the real culprit behind Yu Wen Shu’s death is the supreme divine king standing beside you.”
“You’re just afraid that I will use the great propagation technique again, right? You’re worried that once it’s revealed, you won’t be able to control the situation, am I right?”
“Though your actions are shameless, there are not many loyal dogs like the supreme divine king by your side, are there?”
Snow Shadow Celestial Master’s words indeed struck a chord with Lingxia Celestial Master. She trembled in anger, secretly thinking, “If it weren't for the Primordial Supreme Lord, I would really want to kill her!”
“Humph.” Snow Shadow Celestial Master coldly snorted and looked at the supreme divine king, decisively stating, “Find someone to open the City Defense Formation. I am leaving.”
The supreme divine king suppressed his rising anger and called the old butler Bai Teng to send off Snow Shadow Celestial Master.
After Snow Shadow Celestial Master left, Lingxia Celestial Master’s face turned pale as she transmitted to the supreme divine king, “Later, you need to find a scapegoat to take the blame for killing Yu Wen Shu.”
“Only then can this uproar be calmed.”
The supreme divine king transmitted back, “Your Excellency, I truly did not send anyone to kill Yu Wen Shu!”
Lingxia Celestial Master replied, “Alright, even if I believe you, even if you truly did not send someone to kill him, do you think the people present will believe it?”
“It no longer matters if you were the one who sent someone to kill him. Yu Wen’s nine clans are about to be exterminated, and you have not suffered any loss.”
“Just do as I say.”
The supreme divine king sighed heavily. He could see that Lingxia Celestial Master still believed he was the mastermind behind Yu Wen Shu's death.
And the reason she didn’t take action against him was probably because of the countless military achievements he had accomplished for her in the past.
“Now that it has come to this, I can only admit it. Otherwise, if I continue talking, it will only anger Your Excellency, and then it will be impossible to control the situation.” The supreme divine king thought to himself, “Moreover, the true mastermind behind Yu Wen Shu's death must be among those in the hall.”
“If it’s not Jing Yun, then who could it be?”
“There are no eternal secrets in this world. This person must have a grudge against me and wants to pin Yu Wen Shu’s death on me, trying to bring me down.”
“Since he has not succeeded this time, he will certainly try again. Very well, I will wait and see. Sooner or later, I will expose the hidden hand behind this!”
Having made up his mind, the supreme divine king released his divine consciousness and transmitted to someone unknown. Shortly after, a young man entered the Guest Hall.
This young man was one of the many children adopted by the old butler Bai Teng. He had clearly received orders from the supreme divine king to act as the scapegoat.
The young man knelt in the hall and bowed his head, saying, “Divine King Lord, Your Excellency, I am the one who killed Yu Wen Shu.”
The supreme divine king roared like thunder, “How has my Divine King Mansion produced such a thoughtless fool as you!”
“How could you go kill Yu Wen Shu?!”
The young man bowed his head and said, “Divine King Lord, I have long had a secret crush on the Young Miss. Three years ago, I couldn’t stand Yu Wen Shu’s deception against her, hiding the fact that he was a useless person, so I acted and killed him.”
