A pensive look crossed Shen Nianzu's face. "So we have two groups of people with the same goal? Interesting…" he mused.
"The same goal?" Both Jin Jiuchi and Gu Luoxin echoed in unison, only to throw a stinky look at each other through the screen. Even their actions were in sync.
Shen Nianzu gave a nod. "Yes, thinking about it now, if Young Master Ares' death was discovered right before the betrothal ceremony, the immediate suspects would be the sirens and the humans. And then, if the picture of Prince Kaivia's tragic death happened to spread at the same time…"
Gu Luoxin smacked his palm in sudden realization. "The sirens would think that the humans and garudas were colluding to suppress them! No matter who the real culprit was, the seed of doubt would have been planted, and the three main territories would start turning on each other!"
