He defended loudly, "This has nothing to do with me, it definitely has nothing to do with me, I'm a victim too! All of us are victims—the people who sold me the meat, and that freak who practices Witch Gu sorcery, they are the real culprits!"
He looked at Fan Wu and the others with inexplicable horror: "Even if you... even if you want to settle scores, you should go after them, not an innocent civilian like me!"
I listened to this fellow, sentence after sentence, defending himself and shirking the blame.
Xing Fengzi frowned because he felt that what this guy was saying did, in fact, have some merit.
How could such a petty merchant wield the power to perpetrate such an act?
What's more, this merchant knew no sorcery at all.
So this guy must have been used, and for over a decade, no less.
He was even still being manipulated!
It went without saying who was using him—the prime suspect was the Witch Gu Cultivator.
