Huohuo changed his strategy.
No longer did he want to frame Han San. Instead, he wanted to force him to leave, arrange for Han San and Yueyan to stay in the same room, and have Huoyao stay in another room, using that method to isolate him.
As long as Huohuo could obtain the support of the Heavenly Emperor's Family, he would wait until Huoyao exposed Han San's true identity. Then no one would stand on Huoyao's side, and that woman would return to her former miserable state.
Huoyao had not only seen through his intentions, but also mocked him.
Isolating him?
The more Huohuo thought about it, the more easily he could fabricate evidence in the diary to prove that he had done nothing wrong. He could also clear himself of suspicion and make Xiao Wu believe that Duoxu was the one behind everything.
After all, he had already been planning this for a long time, but Huoyao wanted to try one more time.
Huohuo, you really are too naïve.
Originally, the women's dormitory was meant for two people to share a room. However, under Yueyan's repeated requests, the three of them ultimately moved in together.
Huohuo and Han San had no objections. They assumed she only wanted to hold a discussion with Xiao Wu and Duoxu.
But while they waited for the others to leave the dormitory, only the three women remained. Yueyan came to the women's side and lowered her voice.
"Didn't you say you had never written a diary before?"
The moment the question left her mouth, Yueyan already had an answer.
Because when she mentioned the diary, she had not sensed any abnormality from Huoyao.
It was obvious. Only in front of the diary's owner could she conceal any resistance and reveal the diary's existence.
Xiao Wu and Duoxu exchanged a glance, then nodded at the same time.
"Very well."
Yueyan slowly took a sip of tea. The cold tea no longer made her frown, and she gradually relaxed.
"Since that's the case, the matter is easy to handle. I want to ask you something: what do you think of the description of Huoyao in the diary?"
Yueyan had already completely trusted Duoxu, but she also wanted to know how Xiao Wu and Duoxu intended to deal with it. After all, this was related to Huoyao's next actions.
Huoyao had left. She wanted to secretly obey Xiao Wu and Duoxu's arrangements, so naturally she would not be discovered by the person hiding nearby.
Faced with Yueyan's question, Xiao Wu fell silent.
Duoxu glanced at her, smiling as she spoke.
"If it weren't to avoid exposing the diary's existence, I wouldn't care about those descriptions at all. I wouldn't have minded Han San killing Taolangke."
"As far as I'm concerned, whether what Huoyao said is true or not, I don't want to leave that kind of person beside Taolangke. That's why I always told you to keep your distance from him."
Duoxu did not want the things in the diary to become reality.
Besides, she had already begun moving against the Historical Empire's remnants yesterday. She only feared that Huoyao might discover something unusual, exposing the diary's existence. That was why she had not acted openly and had merely sent someone to investigate.
Regardless of whether Huoyao was a murderer or not, Han San might be the so-called demon from beyond the realm, just as he claimed. Duoxu did not want Han San to become involved with Yueyan.
Even if Huoyao personally came to persuade her to leave with Han San, Duoxu would still firmly refuse.
After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Heavenly Emperor's Family. Even if she offended the other party, she could still find a way to enter the Heavenly Emperor's Family's inner court. She simply had no need to endure this place.
Yueyan could not help smiling at Duoxu's answer. She was very satisfied with it.
The two of them looked at Xiao Wu at the same time and asked,
"What about you? What do you think?"
Xiao Wu pursed her lips. Her small face was full of struggle, and after remaining silent for a while, she lowered her voice.
"I don't know either. I just don't dare believe that Third Brother is really the demon from beyond the realm that Huoyao described. Third Brother has always treated me very well, and over these years, he has taken great care of me."
"But if he really is a demon from beyond the realm, and he has done all those things in the diary, how can I continue trusting him?"
When they heard this, Yueyan and Duoxu's smiles faded.
Duoxu had already prepared herself mentally, but after hearing Xiao Wu's answer, she was still somewhat disappointed.
Just as Huoyao had described in the diary, after all these years of shared experiences, Han San's image had already taken root in Xiao Wu's heart. Breaking it would not be easy.
Duoxu let out a sigh of frustration.
"Do you really believe the nonsense Huoyao wrote in the diary? It's as if you spent ten years watching a pig turn into a human. Do you really think that means you know what happened to it? Before this, he had already shown that he cared about you, hadn't he?"
"If not for what happened at the Rose Hotel yesterday, if Huoyao weren't a murderer and hadn't learned even more secrets from the diary, how could he have known about you and Han San? How could even Huohuo have appeared there?"
"If this had happened only once, it might have been a coincidence. But so many things have happened one after another. How could this not prove the identity of that murderer, Huoyao?"
Duoxu's voice sharpened, and her tone grew heavier.
"What annoys me most is that Huoyao couldn't possibly have known that I had the diary, yet he even dared use the Heavenly Emperor's Family to insult Bibi Dong's daughter in the diary. Doesn't that prove that he deliberately wrote these things to frame me?"
Yueyan looked at Duoxu with a face full of admiration, as if she were looking at a heavenly genius.
She herself was very poor at serving as an interrogator. She knew she was not good at persuading people, and had originally been worried about how to persuade Duoxu, Xiao Wu, and the others.
She had not expected Duoxu to take the initiative and work herself into a frenzy, while also delivering such a convincing argument.
To prove that she herself had a plan, Yueyan also followed up.
"I can prove that every secret Huoyao wrote about me in the diary is true."
Xiao Wu also felt that Duoxu's words made sense.
Since Huoyao did not know that she had the diary, and could still write the secrets above, then everything he wrote in the diary must have been deliberately fabricated.
Therefore, all the descriptions of her in the diary were merely Huoyao's fantasies. There was no way they could be real.
Even so, Xiao Wu was still unable to accept that Han San was the demon from beyond the realm. She also did not know how she should believe Duoxu.
Duoxu saw that she wanted to say something, but Yueyan stopped her from speaking.
Yueyan gently patted Xiao Wu's shoulder and immediately saw that Xiao Wu had calmed down.
"Don't be anxious. You don't have to make a decision so quickly. You can observe things for a while longer before deciding what to do."
"I believe that before long, Huoyao will definitely give you a more convincing answer."
Before you continue
