Zhan Yun, realizing his appeal for mercy was successful, instantly understood that Wu Mei probably still didn't know it was he who had deliberately schemed against her.
Thus, Zhan Yun feigned ignorance about what had happened and asked with pretended concern, "Are you injured?"
Wu Mei nodded gently, "Mhm."
Indeed, Wu Mei didn't suspect Zhan Yun, or perhaps in her mind, Zhan Yun didn't possess the ability to scheme against her like this.
Regarding today's events, Wu Mei only felt bewildered and somewhat terrified; she never connected the dots to Zhan Yun plotting against her.
Right now, the only thing in Wu Mei's mind was this: An ancient city that had existed for thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of years, was too terrifying; on the surface, everyone appeared ordinary, but dig below the surface, and one might encounter something dreadful.
Zhan Yun saw that Wu Mei harbored no suspicions and immediately felt relieved.
