Chapter 543 - 31: Lin Ze’s Strategy
Elf women were all brought before the saint, each one’s breath weak, faces pale.
"How dare you assassinate someone right under my watch? Who gave you the audacity?!" The saint didn’t care much about the reasons behind Lu Hong’s assassination; what mattered to him was that his authority had been gravely challenged.
"Speak!"
Under the saint’s intimidation, one of the elf women couldn’t withstand the pressure and spoke up, "It was Master Lin Ze who instructed us to do it."
"Lin Ze?" The saint was familiar with him; Lin Ze was the chief in charge of the thirteen city regions of Spring Fragrance Pavilion, and they had met a few times.
"Why would he want to assassinate this human?"
"Master Lin told us that this man had discovered the secrets of our Spring Fragrance Pavilion, so... so he had to be eliminated!"
The saint’s brow furrowed slightly, "The secrets of your Spring Fragrance Pavilion?"
"It’s... it’s..."
Before the elf woman could speak, Lu Hong stepped forward and kicked her down. He had seen through their scheme and couldn’t let the woman speak!
