People in the room listened to Shikong recounting what had transpired years ago, and they suddenly discovered a bit of the truth—it wasn't that Shikong was unclear, but rather Li Wancheng and his companions had concealed many things back then.
From Shikong's words, it seems that even now he still doesn't fully understand the truth of what happened.
Shikong lamented, "When I heard their conversation, my first thought was that they had made some agreement, but Yuan Shanwen and the others had betrayed it."
Everyone shared the same sentiment.
Shikong continued, "Listening to Li Wancheng's frantic screams, Yuan Shanwen was the first to claim that he had nothing to do with it and that everything was caused by Li Wancheng. He said he would leave if he were to go down the mountain, and if anyone wanted to go back, he would not accompany them. After saying this, Yuan Shanwen actually left on his own."
