After letting his tears run wild for a while, Xiao Hua raised a hand and wiped them away. Xiao Xianrui, a woman, could endure humiliation for his safety—so why could he not bury his grief deep in his heart?
The cave was pitch-black, and nothing could be seen. Xiao Hua sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, quietly pondering. Yes, from the moment he learned of Xiao Yuehong's death until he met Xiao Xianrui, and even until he finally left Huanghua Ridge, he had never once asked how Xiao Yuehong had died, nor had he ever asked who the murderer was!
"If it was not the Hundred Herbs Sect, then it was the Myriad Poisons Sect. One way or another, these two sects absolutely cannot be free of involvement!" Xiao Hua thought. "The Hundred Herbs Sect is even more suspicious. The Sect Master did not run into danger early or late, but precisely when Xiao Xianrui went to the Hundred Herbs Sect, escorted by Gong Mingwei and Zhang Qingxiao? This was definitely a trap set by the Hundred Herbs Sect. Yes, it had to be. They first raised the banner of an alliance, then dangled the prospect of a marriage alliance, preparing both hands. When the Sect Master refused the marriage that day, they struck first and destroyed Shang Hua Ming. Then, under the name of an alliance, they moved into Huanghua Ridge and controlled Senior Sister. Even if others had some objections, everything would appear perfectly justified, and no one could do anything about it!"
*"The Myriad Poisons Sect is naturally also suspicious, but... if the Myriad Poisons Sect had killed the Sect Master and the two Senior Brothers that day, they would have occupied Huanghua Ridge immediately. They definitely would not have waited two more days for Senior Sister
