To be honest, this time I brought these female family members as bait to Penglai specifically to see his reaction. Hmph! As expected, it lured him into making a move!
Hehe, in fact, on that very day, I had already received instructions from Junior Brother Xu, who had spoken to Cheng Chengzhi beforehand, advising him to leave the mountain soon and not to take the blame for others. Sure enough, Junior Brother Xu's prediction was spot on. Now it's quite obvious; with the current shortage of manpower, there are none other who could harm so many fellow sect members silently! That night it was definitely Xia Mingcheng who acted, and he might even have been injured, otherwise why would he hide from me and dare not meet me these days! The sect leader still defends him, saying he is refining elixirs! Pah! As if I don't know how to refine elixirs!
