Chen Xin and Gu Rong cast suspicious looks at Shi Yi, who had recovered into his body, then looked at Ning Rongrong and asked again with certainty, "Really?"
Seeing the varied expressions on everyone's faces, even Ning Rongrong understood what her father and grandfathers meant.
"Of course it's true, Dad. Since we came to Heaven Dou, today is the first time we've left the academy. How could Xiao Yi have anything to do with that? Besides, Xiao Yi is only a Soul Elder right now. How could he possibly hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?" Ning Rongrong hurriedly explained.
Gu Rong and Chen Xin exchanged glances, doubt still lingering in their eyes. Based on the information they had gathered, that Soul Beast had certainly been a Transformed Soul Beast. There were no signs of battle at the scene, which meant Shi Yi could still have been the mysterious killer.

Ning Rongrong then began with Shrek's victory
