"Stop making things up."
Yan Huan pulled out a menstrual-blood-red flower and said solemnly:
"I found this in a crevice at the bottom of the sword case."
"Obviously, Silvermane is the culprit."
"Wherever he goes, he always likes to leave this kind of thing around."
"You said that was in a crevice in the sword case?" Dahao narrowed his eyes.

Hearing that, everyone felt they were gradually closing in on the truth.
Huaiyan hurriedly asked Dahao:
"Executive Dahao, where is the Pure Knight now?"
"Uh,
