None of them dared speak, their minds overwhelmed by the shocking revelation. Chen Wuji, the most calm and composed strategist, could not decide what to believe and what not to…
He noticed San Ji's confusion and the doubts and disbelief in the eyes of Qiuan Yu, but what shocked him the most was Hong Mei's reaction.
Despite how much they fought and hated each other, Hong Mei immediately rushed to deny the possibility of XianJing's betrayal.
"What is the meaning of this, Emperor?" Hong Mei slammed her hands on the table and stood up from her seat, pointing at him with no respect for his position and fear of his strength.
"No matter how infuriating and a pain in the ass this woman is," XingJian looked at Hong Mei as she stood up to defend her, but the words coming out of her mouth made her eyebrows twitch. "There is no way she is compromised, or you would not have revealed all of that information without checking."
