Chapter 364: The Trap
The Black Moon Yin Elder was equally sizing up the woman. His state of mind at this moment was remarkably calm, because if even the Thousand Fragrance Sinew-Softening Powder could do nothing against him, there was nothing she could do to kill him.
"This old man strongly advises you to go back wherever you came from and stop making rash moves. Both of those women are people the young hero wants."
The Black Moon Yin Elder stroked his beard and spoke at an unhurried pace, then pointed at the white-robed woman and the white-haired Daoist woman, "If either of them comes to any harm, when the young hero returns I will report everything to him. With the young hero's power, a single moment of anger would be enough to wipe out your Inviting Moon Palace."
The words were an undisguised threat, meant to make the woman see reason and back down. He might not fear her, but he certainly could not beat her, so driving her away was clearly the best outcome.
At those words, Second Palace Mistress Shiyue of the Inviting Moon Palace let a flicker of something unusual cross her eyes.
She glanced back at the white-robed woman, then settled her gaze on the white-haired Daoist woman, and asked the same question Li Musheng had asked before, "Which of you two is Daoist Qingyu?"
The white-haired Daoist woman's expression changed, and wariness spread across her face.
But this time she said nothing at all, unlike her earlier response to Li Musheng when she had directly confirmed her identity as Daoist Qingyu.
"That tells me you are both impostors."
