"After that, the Six Lords jointly decided that Dan Ding Si would no longer have a Si Ding, until your arrival today..."
After hearing Jing Yuan out, Lingsha finally understood why he had exiled her teacher.
It could almost be said that her teacher's actions had been the chief culprit behind the Imbibitor Lunae Catastrophe.
After all, if Dan Heng had not regained his memories of his past life, the Imbibitor Lunae Catastrophe would never have happened.
The explanation was somewhat far-fetched, but there was indeed a causal connection...
"In that case, I should thank the General for protecting my teacher with an exile order."
"On the contrary, I should be thanking you."
"Thanking me?"
Jing Yuan smiled lightly. "All I have ever done or sought was to be able to answer to my own conscience."
"But over the long lives of the long-lived species, can one truly remain free of regret? Miss Lingsha was implicated by her teacher's sentence and had no choice but to leave her homeland, knowing nothing of the reasons behind it."
"Now that Dan Ding Si's situation is so tangled, the Alliance has sent you to take on this troublesome task, saving me considerable worry. Shouldn't I thank you?"
Jing Yuan's words carried profound meaning.
Why had he brought Dan Heng and Lingsha along to investigate the person who had helped Hulei escape?
Because Lingsha had come from the Zhuming Xianzhou! And there was still a misunderstanding and barrier between her and Jing Yuan.
To put it bluntly, she was an impartial judge planted here by the Alliance, someone who would not favor Jing Yuan.
Therefore, in this investigation, she was the witness the Alliance could trust the most.
Everyone present had a good idea who the traitor who helped the Buli Ren escape was.
