After Chen Linyuan finished speaking, he paid the matter no further mind and busied himself with his tea set, which someone or other had given him.
He lifted the clay pot, filled the only empty cup on the table with clear tea, and began sipping it with perfect composure.
Hearing this, the two instinctively exchanged a glance.
Song Yan felt that something was amiss. Were Senior Sister Qin Ying's words true or false?
According to her, she had misjudged someone and carelessly allowed a petty scoundrel to trick her out of the Sword Talisman. How could it so conveniently have been the Rogue Cultivator of Xin Mountain?
What relationship did she have with the Rogue Cultivator of Xin Mountain?
Although Senior Sister Qin Ying seemed highly suspicious, he had no evidence. Even in his own thoughts, he could not be certain whether she had lied.
What a nuisance. If only Wu Huaguo were here.
Meanwhile, Qin Ying also felt that something was amiss. The Rogue Cultivator of Xin Mountain had been killed by his disciple Sheng Nian, and his cave abode had been destroyed.
Then why had this Sword Talisman appeared in Song Yan's hands?
There were only two possibilities. The first was that Song Yan had killed Sheng Nian and found it in his Heaven and Earth Bag.
But if that was all there was to it, he would have had no need to see the sect master and hand over the Sword Talisman. He could simply have kept it for himself.
He had come here to ask about the Sword Talisman's origins. Had she not "confessed" to the sect master beforehand, she might have ended up accused of colluding with Devil Cultivators.
The other possibility-
Logically, Sheng Nian had only been at the Foundation Establishment Realm Middle Stage.
