Uchiha Shin glanced at Patriarch Hongjun. Since Patriarch Hongjun believed so, he could not be wrong.
Previously, Uchiha Shin had felt that someone stood behind him, but that had only been his own speculation, without much certainty.
Now, after hearing Patriarch Hongjun's words, he could practically confirm that someone truly was behind him.
As for who that person was, Uchiha Shin did not know. Judging by Patriarch Hongjun's expression, he did not know either. If Patriarch Hongjun knew, he would not have come looking for Uchiha Shin—he would have gone straight to the person behind him.
"Patriarch Hongjun, do you have any clues about the person behind me?" Uchiha Shin asked, hoping to get some information from him.
But Patriarch Hongjun shook his head. "To tell the truth, I have never had any clue who the person behind you might be. It truly is astonishing that they could hide so deeply and remain unknown even to me. This person is truly baffling."
Uchiha Shin frowned slightly. Even Patriarch Hongjun could not uncover the slightest bit of information. Just how powerful was this person?
"Does Mystic Spirit King have any clues?" Patriarch Hongjun asked with a smile.
Uchiha Shin shook his head. He did not have any clues either.
Patriarch Hongjun stood there and pondered for a while. "This truly is very intriguing. I really want to understand who is manipulating things from behind the scenes, and what their purpose is."
Patriarch Hongjun was curious, and Uchiha Shin was equally curious.
As he pondered, Uchiha Shin suddenly noticed Patriarch Hongjun looking at him. There was something strange about that gaze.
"I heard there is a sealed memory in your mind that no one has been able to unravel. Is that right?" Patriarch Hongjun stared at Uchiha Shin as he asked.
"Yes."
