Only after everyone from Star Palace had left did Old Wen smile at Lin Bai and say, "The Emperor Child has handed Star Palace a knife, hasn't he?"
Lin Bai glanced at Old Wen in surprise. He smiled but said nothing.
Instead, Dao Child Yu You was puzzled. "What does Old Wen mean? Why say that the Emperor Child handed Star Palace a knife?"
Seeing that no outsiders were present, only five guards at the Chaos Dao Fruit Realm, Old Wen raised his hand and set up a formation inside the room, cutting it off from the outside.
Only after the formation had settled did he say, "There's nothing wrong with having Star Palace investigate the Demon Subjugation Alliance."
"The Demon Subjugation Alliance was already Devil Palace's greatest headache. It was only natural to have Star Palace investigate them."
"But... the Emperor Child also told Star Palace to investigate the Demon Subjugation Alliance in the neighboring thousand provinces!"
"Isn't that the same as handing Star Palace a knife?"
Dao Child Yu You was still somewhat confused, but she was too embarrassed to keep asking. She could only furrow her brows and ponder it herself.
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly understood and nodded. "So that's how it is."
Old Wen continued, "It's only natural for Star Palace to investigate the Demon Subjugation Alliance. But if they're told to investigate the alliance's martial artists in the neighboring provinces, then there are plenty of tricks they can play."
"Who knows whether the names Star Palace submits later will truly belong to martial artists of the Demon Subjugation Alliance? Or perhaps... they'll fabricate them and frame others?"
Dao Child Yu You truly had not expected Lin Bai to voluntarily hand Star Palace a knife. She looked at him in surprise as well.
