When Tzeentch Became Suspicious, It Made Him Seem Much More Credible

Tzeentch stared at Zhou Yun, savoring his recent words.

Trust, suspicion, hesitation, caution—countless emotions rose and shifted within him.

But overall, the Changer of Ways believed what Zhou Yun had said.

It was indeed the only explanation for why Zhou Yun and The Emperor had risked so much to forcibly seize the Domains of Vicious Artistry.
