The Millelith stopped in their tracks and turned their eyes toward their captain.
The Millelith captain was considering whether Zhong Baiye's claims were true.
Zhong Baiye struck while the iron was hot and continued speaking.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Lady Ningguang to come out. She knows me."
