Madam Wang hurried into the great hall, holding a bundle of fur. "Master, look at this! It's Little White's fur!"
I squinted, carefully examining the bundle. "Madam Wang, where did you get this?"
"Hehe, it's fake fur! Little White is quite clever. I told it to play dead and escape, and it did just that—created a clone to pretend to be dead and left behind fake remains to fool Elder Su!" Madam Wang lifted her head, happily conversing with the Master. "Elder Su offered me high-grade spirit stones to lure Little White out, intending to kill it!"
Xiao Jingyan suddenly stood up, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. "What a cruel heart she has! Let's go confront Su Jin directly!"
The damp air was filled with the smell of mold and rust. In the dim dungeon, only a solitary oil lamp flickered, casting mottled shadows.
Upon seeing Madam Wang enter the dungeon, Su Jin's face turned pale, panic flashing in her eyes. "I... I didn't... I didn't instruct Madam Wang... Little White was killed by a beast!"
I looked coldly at Su Jin. "Ha, trying to cover up your tracks."
Su Jin was bound to a damp stone pillar, her head lowered so her expression was obscured. Only a few strands of hair fell across her pale cheeks, making her appear particularly fragile.
"Enough!" Xiao Yifeng suddenly spoke up, his face darkening. "Mother, stop wronging Su Jin!"
A flicker of disappointment crossed Xiao Jingyan's eyes. "Yifeng, do you still refuse to believe?"
Madam Wang suddenly pulled a high-grade spirit stone from her sleeve and smashed it down at Su Jin's feet.
Xiao Jingyan's eyes flashed with disappointment again. "Yifeng, do you still refuse to believe? Take this and get out of Xiaoyao Sect!"
Su Jin's complexion changed drastically, a flicker of humiliation and anger flashing in her eyes. "You... how dare you treat me like this!"
"How dare I?" Xiao Jingyan sneered. "Just because you are a despicable and shameless person!"
I stepped forward and said softly, "Master, don't be angry. This kind of person isn't worth your wrath."
Xiao Jingyan took a deep breath, suppressing the fury within her. "Shanshan, you're right."
She turned to Xiao Yifeng, disappointment evident in her eyes. "Yifeng, have you really lost your mind over love?"
Xiao Yifeng lowered his head, unable to meet his mother's gaze.
At that moment, Madam Wang suddenly pulled out a bloody piece of meat from her bosom. "Master, this... this is what I found on the back mountain..."
"Ah!" Su Jin screamed, her face turning pale instantly.
I widened my eyes, a wave of nausea rising within me. "Is this the flesh of a demon beast?"
Madam Wang nodded, her voice trembling. "Y-yes..."
Suddenly, she stumbled, and the piece of demon beast meat flew from her hand, landing directly on Su Jin.
"Ah!" Su Jin let out a piercing scream, trembling all over. "Ah! Is this the mount of the Demon Lord?"
The smell of blood suddenly filled the air, and Xiao Yifeng's face changed dramatically as he covered his mouth and rushed outside, "Ugh..."
I couldn't help but frown, a wave of nausea rising within me. "This smell... it's truly revolting."
Xiao Jingyan coldly observed everything, a glint of ice flashing in his eyes. "Su Jin, it seems you are quite familiar with this beast."
Su Jin's face turned pale, trembling all over. "N-no... it's not me... I didn't bring the beast here..."
"Enough!" Xiao Yifeng suddenly shouted, his eyes filled with pain and despair. "I've had enough!"
He staggered backward, disgust written all over his face. "Su Jin, you... you colluded with the demon clan. Don't come near me!"
Tears streamed down Su Jin's face as she desperately tried to catch up to him. "Yifeng, please let me explain..."
"I don't want to hear it!" Xiao Yifeng shook his head frantically, fear evident in his eyes. "Don't... don't touch me!"
