Shi Chun's right eye superpower had confirmed that Elder Yin was not the fish, but he wasn't sure if he was involved with the plot of Demon Path that forbade random killings.
From the conversation just now, it seemed unlikely; otherwise, there was no need for those words.
He ascended the mountain with doubts in his mind.
Upon returning to the Punishment Court, Wu Jinliang noticed his gloom and asked what was wrong.
Shi Chun didn't hide it from him and mentioned how the Demon Path had delegated his planned task to someone else.
Wu Jinliang understood; being left out of the plan meant losing the opportunity to meddle and the chance to benefit from the situation, no wonder he was unhappy.
Little did Wu Jinliang know that what truly affected Shi Chun's mood was his relationship with Bian Weiyin.
