After Meng Yinwan finished explaining what she knew about the Dragon Sparrow Sword, she couldn't help but ask again, "Why didn't Ye Xiu kill me?"
"It was a sacrificial ruse," Qin Qing said earnestly.
Meng Yinwan was stunned for a moment. She suddenly realized that her usually proud intellect seemed to fall short when it came to Ye Xiu.
Qin Qing continued, "Ye Xiu wants to infiltrate the three Judicator Families as an undercover agent. Killing members of the Restorer Alliance in front of Kristina is the best way to gain their trust."
A loyalty test? To make the three Judicator Families believe that Ye Xiu and the Restorer Alliance are mortal enemies? Meng Yinwan finally understood Ye Xiu's plan and said angrily, "But that doesn't mean he had to actually kill people! Why couldn't he just pretend to kill Pusang and the other two, like you pretended to kill me?"
Qin Qing didn't answer, leaving Meng Yinwan space to imagine.
