"Tell me exactly how you tried to kill Ninth Sister, and I'll give you a chance to escape with your life."
At the mention of a chance, Murong Qingyi immediately opened her mouth, but her throat had probably been injured earlier.
Qian Wanyu said directly, "Li Jing, give her a healing pill."
"Yes, Young Tower Master."
Murong Qingyi guessed that Qian Wanyu had identified her because of the time she had followed Dongfang Minghui to the lakeside and been struck by her concealed weapon. After testing her repeatedly, Qian Wanyu had finally confirmed her suspicions.
"I saw her standing there in a daze, with no one else around, so I crept up behind her and held her underwater. While she was struggling, she fired a concealed weapon at me. Then... then someone came, so I left."
Qian Wanyu stared at her silently until Murong Qingyi's scalp prickled.
"It's true. Everything I said is true."
"Was there nothing else?"
Murong Qingyi might also have assumed that Qian Wanyu had only caught her out on this one attempt, so she had denied the other two assassination attempts.
Qian Wanyu thought that was very likely.
