บท 136: The culprit. An unexpected helper. "Just, who are you?"

"However..."

The crowd eagerly waited for Yuan to continue, their eyes fixed on him. He looked directly at Elder Lin, and the tension in the arena was palpable.

"I haven't told you why I didn't save him yet," Yuan said, his voice calm and measured. "I haven't even said you were even closer to the arena even than me."

The crowd was stunned. If Yuan's words were true...

"You, a Spirit Grandmaster Stage cultivator closer to the arena are blaming me, a mere Spirit Master Stage cultivator. Isn't that absurd?" 

"Huh?" Elder Lin was slightly taken aback by Yuan's clear-headed response, but she kept her composure.  "Are you trying to blame me now, when you weren't able to save my niece, how hateful!"

However, she also sensed her excuse wasn't that believable.

"Of course not. I am just speaking the truth." Yuan shrugged. "And now I'll tell everyone what exactly happened. I will also tell who made the explosion."
