"You still have the nerve to ask me what happened?"
Nuwa's gaze instantly sharpened.
"You ought to ask that sect leader you chose yourselves!"
After hearing Nuwa's words, Zhunti and Jieyin turned to Buddha Tathagata, their faces full of bewilderment.
Neither Zhunti nor Jieyin had expected Buddha Tathagata to be the cause of this affair.

Nuwa also realized
