Chapter 1486: The Mastermind
“You should know that we once captured your Wealth Envoy.”
Feng Qingyou explained, “She once saw the Moon Princess in action and recognized it as the exclusive art of the Profound Moon Dynasty. Specifically, it is something only the royal family possesses the right to practice. That is how we deduced that the Moon Princess is a member of the royal family of the Profound Moon Dynasty.”
“Not long after the incident of the City of No Return ended, the mysterious Princess Yue Ling just happened to appear on Gold Island. Knowing what we know, it is difficult not to suspect a connection. And assuming that Yue Ling really is the Moon Princess, then her appearance on Gold Island could only be the result of your order. You are the one who ordered her to get close to us for nefarious purposes.”
“I see. Yue Ling is still too uncautious.”
Old Man Profound Firmament shook his head, though there wasn’t a hint of frustration in his voice. “Still, that alone is not enough to confirm that Yue Ling is connected to me, is it?” “Of course not.” Feng Qingyou smiled. “But since we suspect that Yue Ling was the Moon Princess, we naturally suspect that one of the Sages who came to Gold Island to be the mastermind behind the City of No Return.”
“Therefore, both you and Reverend Danxia fell under our suspicion.”
“Hahaha! In that case, Danxia is more suspicious than me, isn’t he?” Old Man Profound Firmament’s interest was growing.
“That was true.” Feng Qingyou nodded. “Reverend Danxia shares a profound connection with Princess Yue Ling. It makes logical sense that he would be the mastermind. We had assumed that was the case until you changed our opinions for us.”
Old Man Profound Firmament asked smilingly, “Oh? What did I do?”
Feng Qingyou looked at Old Man Profound Firmament with pure eyes that looked like they had just been washed in a clean spring. “Reverend Danxia clashed against us during our initial meeting. You could have stopped it earlier, but you didn’t. Your spoken words can be interpreted as inflammatory as well. Your goal is obviously to sow dissension between us and Reverend Danxia.”
