Shu Guan noticed that Shentu Shuning's complexion suddenly turned exceptionally ugly, and couldn't help but frown and ask:
"Why are you asking me these questions?"
Shu Guan gazed at her, saying in a deep voice:
"Tantai Jingming is still in Shen City!"
Shentu Shuning's face immediately turned deathly pale.
"...This is impossible!"
She let out a cry of shock.
"Master Shentu, I'm afraid this is true, and I am absolutely certain that the person who commissioned the Great River Sect assassin to attempt to kill you is none other than Tantai Jingming!"
Shu Guan's voice echoed eerily in the dim alleyway.
…
Shu Guan returned to Zouma Hall.
There was no one inside.
Wang Maorong and his daughter, Wang Runling, had already moved to the New Runling Hall in the adjacent alleyway.
As for Ao Tian and Han Biao, after they returned from the sea the day before yesterday, Shu Guan had sent them first to Rong's Manor, while he himself went back alone to Zouma Hall to check the situation.
