Gu Yuexi stood her ground, listening to Chu Nianci ramble on and on.
It all boiled down to four words: trying to be clever.
These self-righteous clan disciples were used to overthinking everything.
They always assumed there was a conspiracy behind every event.
They thought Gu Yuexi must have had a deeper motive for killing Jiang Qingyao and Jiang Xinglan.
Only Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng knew the truth.
'What conspiracy? There was no scheme!'
'If anyone dares to cross us, we just cut them down!'
'Why would we need so many reasons?!'
Those two had simply brought it upon themselves. They got what they deserved.
Seeing Gu Yuexi remain silent, Chu Nianci grew even more smug.
She thought her words had hit their mark, leaving the other woman speechless.
"Did you think I'd let you go just because you're staying quiet and stalling for time?"
"Or perhaps you think that if you delay long enough, your Mosquito Beast Pet will come back to save you?"
"Stop daydreaming!"
