Qin Jishi naturally knew what Leng Yan meant by "the matter."
He shrugged. "Does this count as your answer?"
"Qin Jishi, don't misunderstand me. I'm merely surprised."
As Leng Yan spoke, she looked to the side. "I thought they had acted with sufficient secrecy. Now it seems your reach truly isn't small."
After all!!
Though Qin Jishi had not stated it outright, Leng Yan had seen through his thoughts.
What did she mean?
Qin Jishi frowned. "Are you trying to say the Ice Phoenix Realm has nothing to do with those people?"
"No, no, no!"
Leng Yan shook her head. "I never said that. More precisely, I have dealings with them, but the Ice Phoenix Realm does not."
You?
Qin Jishi could not help looking at her. "What do you mean by that?"
"It means nothing!" Leng Yan's tone abruptly turned icy.
"Zhang Shiqing becoming Leng Xi's disciple was arranged by me. It's as simple as that."
No!
Qin Jishi was even more bewildered. "You're saying Shiqing becoming the Ice Phoenix Realm Venerate's disciple was your arrangement. Then do you also have ties to Elder Withered Wood of the Crimson Blood Divine Hall?"
After all!!
Zhang Shiqing had appeared in the Ice Phoenix Realm because Withered Wood of the Crimson Blood Divine Hall had brought her there.
Since the Ice Phoenix Realm Venerate knew nothing of the matter, Withered Wood must have brought Zhang Shiqing there to meet her.
"That's right!"
Leng Yan did not hide it. "Withered Wood did indeed have connections with me, but he is already dead."
"..."
He was already dead?
Qin Jishi suddenly felt his scalp go numb.
Clearly!!
He knew what her words represented.
It seemed that Withered Wood had died at her hands.
No!
Since Leng Yan had dared to make a move
