Shangguan Hong couldn't bear to keep pretending any longer. His cheeks flushed scarlet, anger and excitement glinting in his eyes. He believed that there must be some kind of conspiracy behind the Dragon King's assigning him this important duty for no reason. "Did someone slander me again? Just tell me the truth, Dragon King."
What surprised Shangguan Hong yet again was that the Dragon King nodded instead of denying it. "Someone said that you're the murderer who's been killing innocent people in Jade City."
"Ha!" Shangguan Hong let out a dramatic, sneering laugh. "That's ridiculous. The assassinations in Jade City have gone on for more than a month, but I arrived here only a couple of days ago. Shouldn't that person find a better excuse before trying to frame me?"
Gu Shenwei took a step forward and severely said, "Shangguan Hong, nobody can fool me, and you're no exception!"
