That was because the reports said different things.
Before Harden had gone to get Chiron, Carla and Emma, he had first of all gotten Zi.
Zi was Ponzi's cousin, and the report the young lady, Chiron and Carla had submitted to the Bureau for cultivators said that Ponzi, Duna and Luna had died at the hands of cored beasts up in the mountains.
In fact, it said that they had risked their lives to save them.
However, Harden had asked Zi about the incident. Naturally, she had stuck to the initial lie.
But with the scabbard at his side, he had figured out that she was lying.
Harden had then mounted pressure on her for the truth.
Zi was not one with a strong will from the start. She had always been fearful. And Harden had a very grounded reputation.
She had no choice but to spill the beans about what had happened when Chiron and his party members had gone for the snow white tulip flower.
