Zheng Qiao's Death [Happy May 1st]

Zheng Qiao looked at Shen Tang with a complicated, probing gaze.

His eyes missed no detail.

Something seemed to occur to him, and a trace of realization flashed through his pupils.

After a long while, as his chest heaved and trembled, a delighted laugh spilled from his throat. His laughter was initially pleasant enough, but soon became wanton and frenzied. His eyes were sharp as a pair of blades. "Shen Youli, oh Shen Youli, how did you know what earth-shaking fortune I sent you? I, Zheng Qiao, have always prided myself on being clever, yet I never expected my cleverness to outwit itself... Interesting. Too interesting!"

Shen Tang had always possessed the National Seal!

She had already guessed the truth, only to personally deny it. Thinking back now, Shen Tang must have used some method to evade the mutual resonance between the National Seals, thereby misleading her. At this moment, Zheng Qiao truly wished he could strangle his past self with his own hands.

Shen Tang said, "You flatter me. I merely gained the upper hand by one move."

Neither Zheng Qiao nor Qi Cang showed any intention of attacking or fleeing. Instead, they seemed to have too much time on their hands and began chatting with Shen Tang. With his face full of interest, he asked Shen Tang, "Is this why Yan Xingning chose to help you?"

Shen Tang replied, "Probably not."

"Not?"

Zheng Qiao clearly did not believe her.

He had originally almost convinced himself that Yan Xingning had chosen ordinary Shen Tang purely because the latter possessed a heart full of passion, kindness, and universal love. Even after being transferred to Longwu Commandery, she could love whatever work she did, seek benefits for the people, and never seek them for herself.

Zheng Qiao had found it fantastical
