Chapter 489 Source Transfer Divine Skill
Liu Qingcang laughed and said, "Xia Jiuyou dares to use such means to lure and kill you because he must have something to rely on. Even as the ruler of Great Xia, he probably does not want to incite public outrage. Thus, if he dares to kill you, he must have thought of an escape plan."
"I remember telling you that Jiang Buxiang had hired the Dark Night Assassin to assassinate you, and when you returned from the Northern Border, you said you encountered the Moon Shadow Killer, right?"
"In that case, why not throw the blame for killing the State Preceptor onto Moon Shadow? Xia Jiuyou knows about the Jiang Family’s affairs, so he will certainly believe that the Moon Shadow Killer made a move against you."
"Moreover, when you came back, there were people at the Academic Palace who knew about your encounter with the Moon Shadow Killer, right? Therefore, we can totally shift the blame to Moon Shadow!"
"You just say that when Moon Shadow made a move on you, they accidentally killed the State Preceptor. Let Xia Jiuyou find Moon Shadow himself if he’s capable!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyes lit up, and he excitedly said, "Right! If that’s the case, then I have a reason to return to the Academic Palace, right?"
Regardless of whether Xia Jiuyou believes it or not, he will investigate.
And, naturally, an investigation will take some time.
It’ll be extremely difficult to locate the Moon Shadow Killer.
He can definitely use this time to devise some strategies.
It’s better than directly confronting Xia Jiuyou.
