The Black Demonic Spirit had captured Grilled Sesame Seed Cake and seemed still not sated, saying, "Hey, it's not my fault that the snakehead got involved in this mess, and there's no evidence proving I've been exposed, is there?"
Ouyang Yue listened and said, "How can you say you weren't exposed? If it really wasn't you, then why didn't the snakehead kill his way in at the beginning? Why did he only come to the rescue after we had surrounded Qiandu Xiang?"
Nangong Yan nodded in agreement, saying, "Exactly, he didn't attack right away, which means the snakehead had already detected something amiss but just wasn't able to stop Qiandu Xiang's actions in time."
"Right, so we must have been exposed. Look, when Qiandu Xiang surrounded Qingfeng Inn, he obviously left an opening. That gap should have been covered by someone, but no one came. That opening must have been left for the snakehead, yet he appeared later."
