I had deliberately reminded him, because there were some questions even I hadn't figured out.
For instance, who had resurrected him and the Embroidery Woman? What was the purpose of the person who had brought them back?
And since they had been resurrected, why did they also revive those dead soldiers of the Xu Family, while the other members of the Xu Family had not been brought back?
No matter how I looked at it, something was wrong. It was full of holes.
It made me feel that they had been resurrected solely for what was happening today. Between him and me, or between the Embroidery Woman and Xu Qiuyan, someone had to live and someone had to die.
If Granny Sang and the others hadn't appeared, the situation would probably have remained the same. In the end, we would have failed to learn anything about King Yan and all been killed by him.
But Granny Sang and the others' arrival had restrained the Embroidery Woman's methods, allowing me to once again draw upon the power of the Chaos Yin Yang Bead. That gave me better odds against King Yan, and I could sense how wary King Yan was of the Chaos Yin Yang Bead's power.
This battle might have been spectacular, but there probably would not have been much suspense over who won or lost.
