The moment this train of thought surfaced in Fang Shuwen's mind, he felt no sense of relief or sudden clarity. Instead, a chill ran down his spine.
Because if this guess turned out to be true...
Then the earlier provocations against Yuqing Pavilion by the Hundred Ghosts Hall and the Sang Mountain Seven Face were definitely not just to test whether Yu Yaoguang was truly severely injured!
It was very likely also a feint intended to gauge her reaction!
Since Yu Yaoguang already knew the Hundred Ghosts Hall's objective, another provocation from them would, in her eyes, still be aimed at the Hundred-Pound Saber. It was a frontal provocation, but who knew if there was some hidden scheme behind it?
Even entertaining the slightest possibility of a trick, she should have altered her plans.
But in the end, Yu Yaoguang remained as steady as a mountain.
From her lack of reaction, the Hundred Ghosts Hall could very well have deduced that the Hundred-Pound Saber was in the Cold Ice Pond.
