"Why leave out the Emei Sectâs betrayal?"
My words struck a nerve.
Her eyes widened, her breathing quickened, and her heartbeat pounded audibly.
It all pointed to a single conclusion.
Watching her reaction, I let the corners of my lips curl up.
'Honestly, I was just fishing.'
But her response nearly confirmed it.
A creeping sense of discomfort stirred within me as I sorted out my thoughts.
And from that process, my conclusion was clear.
Crackâ!
I tightened my grip on Moon-Splitting Fist Immortalâs cheek.
"Most of what youâve said doesnât add up."
The Emei Sect was supposedly looking for Bong Soonâno, Pi Yeon-yeonâto clear the Sword Queenâs name?
It sounded nice.
Perhaps the previous Sword Queen had her reasons for leaving the Emei Sect and acting independently.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If that were the case, then yesâclearing her name would be a noble cause.
But there was a glaring problem.
"If that were true, you shouldâve acted sooner."
Why now, after all this time?
"Itâs been at least twenty years since the war ended."
The Great Conflict between the righteous and unorthodox sects had ended decades ago.
So what had the Emei Sect been doing all this time?
"Absolutely nothing."
Not a damn thing.
If they had known the Sword Queen had been framed, they should have done somethingâanythingâbefore now.
"Youâre just making excuses because Bongâno, Pi Yeon-yeonâhas appeared."
They needed more than excuses.
"Oh, right, there was something."
I already knew what the Emei Sect had been up to for the past couple of decades.
'I looked into it the moment Bong Soon was linked to them.'
