Miao Yu left with a coquettish smile, swaying as she departed.
The Bone Messenger was a very complicated person. Although she had known him for a long time, she couldn't see through him.
His behavior today could have been a test to see if she had discovered the Dao Child. It could also have been a reminder for her to watch her state and not expose the fact that she had found the Dao Child.
Everyone had gathered under the banner of Bone Tao for a common ideal, but before that ultimate goal, each had their own little schemes.
As for the Second Elder, his stance was much clearer. He simply didn't care what outcome Miao Yu could extract from her interrogations. Perhaps he was uninvolved with the Ji Xuan incident, but it could also be that he knew full well Miao Yu would find out nothing.
She never bothered guessing the thoughts of such a wily old thing. It would only mislead her and she'd never figure it out.
