I didn't need to come and see Lin Xiao's corpse, but I was as curious as everybody else.
When the crowd of alarmed cultivators and I reached Lin Xiao's residence, Lin Kwan was already walking out of its gates.
Behind her, something was burning in there, and several servants were running around with buckets of water and cries of panic.
Not a single hair was out of place on Lin Kwan's head—and for an old corpse, she had plenty of hair.
In front of the gathered crowd, Lin Kwan stopped and frowned. Her gaze fell on me, then roamed around.
"I see everybody gathered already. Then listen to my announcement! Lin Xiao is dead for his crimes against me and our clan. When I tried to form my Golden Core, I went into a seclusion in a hidden place. Since he was my older brother, I trusted him at the time, and told Lin Xiao about this place. However, he betrayed my trust and sneaked in to attack me in my moment of vulnerability!"
