No matter where or when, dark and underhanded things happened. Some people wanted to train puppets who would remain forever loyal to them. Naturally, those puppets had to be trained from childhood, brainwashed from the start.
These children were the future Jade Butterflies of Yu Chen. They would be taken to the Cold Immortal Sect for uniform training, then sent out once they were grown to become Yu Chen's sources of intelligence.
The girl's face turned deathly pale. "What's going on? I don't know! I don't know! Someone's framing me!"
Lu Yin said coldly, "More than two months ago, our Huai Yuan Cold Gate received intelligence that the Lord of Wood Fort had a son with extraordinary talent who had mysteriously disappeared. Wood Fort had searched for more than two months without finding anything. We confirmed that Dark Sons had abducted him and planned to train him as one of their own. One of these children is the Lord of Wood Fort's son."
The people around them fell silent. Quite a few secretly opened their Cloud Communication Stones to contact someone.
"Yun Yang, you just tried to stop me. Are you colluding with the Dark Sons?" Lu Yin shouted.
Yun Yang jumped in fright and hurriedly said, "No! He's a disciple of the Cold Immortal Sect, so I told you to let him go."
"Is that so?" Lu Yin said coldly. "Ever since I arrived at the Cloud Ladder, you've been keeping an eye on me because you were afraid I'd find this Dark Son. That Uncle Kuang is the same. You'll both have to submit to an investigation by the Cold Gate."
Yun Yang was dumbfounded. Anyone could tell why he'd been watching Lu Yin, so how had Lu Yin twisted it into this? Wasn't this a false accusation?
