In Xia Jue's view, catching the mastermind behind the mirror incidents would yield more clues. That was why he had decided to entrust this assignment to Su Jiu.
After all, Su Jiu was already carrying out this assignment alongside a personal disciple of the Heavenly Secret Sect. If the culprit truly came from the Heavenly Secret Sect, surely no one would understand that person better than a fellow disciple.
Ning Fan seemed to have guessed Xia Jue's intentions too. He said nothing more, turning his gaze back to the two sheets of paper on the table.
"You aren't going to tell Su Jiu?"
Xia Jue gave Ning Fan an indifferent glance, yet Ning Fan felt he could see a trace of coldness in his eyes. "Going to the Demon-Subduing Land now would be no different from seeking her own death." As he spoke, Xia Jue walked over to the table.
Ning Fan watched Xia Jue lightly tap the table with a finger, and the two sheets of paper floated into the air.
Then Xia Jue snapped his fingers, and the two sheets burst into flames on their own, burning until nothing remained but a pile of ashes.
Beneath his hood, Ning Fan's pupils contracted slightly.
"You should know Su Jiu isn't that foolish. If the Enforcement Hall leaves her without news for too long, she'll investigate on her own! If she discovers Silver Snow is in the Demon-Subduing Land then, things will only get worse."
Xia Jue wore a somewhat careless expression. "Then keep her occupied." He paused, putting away the Green Jade Flute in his hand, and fixed his gaze on Ning Fan. "On that point, I don't want her hearing any news about Silver Snow from the Shadow Pavilion. You understand what I'm saying, don't you, junior brother?"
