The compass needle shifted again, pointing away from Lu Mingyuan before swinging back in his direction, only to deviate once more. This back-and-forth repeated, as if even the small compass couldn't confirm whether he was the one they were looking for.
Zhouzhou, seeing this for the first time, patted the small compass and muttered, "Is it broken?" She took out a talisman, touched it to Ye Lingfeng, and placed it on the small compass. Immediately, the compass needle pointed directly at Ye Lingfeng. So, it wasn't broken after all.
Zhouzhou put the previous talisman back on the compass, and yet, the same result occurred. Ye Lingfeng was also puzzled. "What's going on?"
Zhouzhou shook her head, equally confused. After a careful look, she hesitantly said, "It seems like the compass is saying that the bad guy is, and at the same time isn't, that uncle."
Is and isn't? What kind of answer was that? Was he or wasn't he the bad guy?
