"Hypnos, who has Su Ye's place now?"
Anqiling stared at Hypnos and went straight to the heart of the matter.
To find out whether Hypnos had acted out of self-interest, she only needed to learn who had taken Su Ye's place.
Hypnos's expression darkened. After a moment of silence, he said,
"Yes. I did give that place to one of my juniors."
