บท 300: Liang's hidden card

"Father, what happened with your plans? Why did you allow Liang to enter the secret realm?"

Dong Rui looked at her father suspiciously, trying to decipher what could have made the clan change their opinion about Liang's participation.

On the side, Dong Tian Shu also observed the conversation with interest, eager to know the answer.

Dong Tian Di took a moment to compose himself before responding, "The matter was actually simpler than you think." He turned to Dong Rui, "During the gathering, did you notice anything suspicious between Liang and Chess Paragon?"

Dong Rui's eyes narrowed slightly as she tried to recall every detail of that encounter. After a few breaths, she shook her head, "On the contrary, their interactions seemed ordinary. In fact, that was Liang's first visit to Florai."

"First time?" Dong Tian Di's eyes flickered with surprise, "Then that doesn't make sense."

Suddenly, both Dong Rui and Tian Shu's eyes widened in realization.
