Wan Lihong, who had been standing to one side, aloof and watching the excitement as though it had nothing to do with him, froze with his wine cup raised. Seeing the teasing looks from the representatives of every sect, he truly wanted to cry injustice. He was one of those who had personally witnessed Yue Qianchou kill Cang Lianqing and Chai Junlang from the shadows. Things simply had not happened the way Yue Qianchou claimed.
Yet he had no way to step forward and testify. First, he was wary of Yue Qianchou's background and truly did not wish to offend him. Second, the deaths of those two really were connected to Wan Ling. Had Wan Ling not deliberately led them on, they would not have gone looking for Yue Qianchou and ultimately been killed by him.
With an awkward expression, Wan Lihong drank by himself. Others might not understand, but he could see it clearly—Yue Qianchou was plainly trying to pin Chai Junlang's death on Cang Lianqing, so Xiaoyao Palace would go looking for trouble with Jueqing Palace. Thinking it over, trouble might truly break out between those two sects. Chai Junlang was the only son of Chai Xiaoyao, master of Xiaoyao Palace! How could Chai Xiaoyao not demand an explanation from Jueqing Palace? Even if he did not seek out Jueqing Palace, he would certainly demand an explanation from Cang Yunxin.
In short, Cang Yunxin was in trouble. Yue Qianchou truly deserved to be an Immortal Emperor's spy—what ruthless methods! The moment he struck back, he intended to leave Cang Yunxin unable to swallow it or spit it out... Wan Lihong sighed softly and continued drinking alone. In any case, this matter had nothing to do with Wàngǔtōng, so he could not be bothered to say anything.
