As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes stared at Baili Se in unison. Everyone’s eyes were filled with deep distrust.
According to the original plan, Yao Qingyi and the other two should have waited here for a period of time after pasting the charm. They would only leave after confirming that the murderous aura in Baili Hui’s corpse had been purified by the charm.
However, because Baili Se made the decision and prepared venison for everyone to barbecue, Yao Qingyi and the other two gave her face and changed their original plan.
In that case, could Baili Se have deliberately set up a trap to send everyone away?
When Baili Se, who was originally confused, heard this, his face instantly turned ashen, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably. “1 was only kind enough to prepare the venison for everyone to enjoy just now. I don’t have any other plans! I definitely won’t do such a heartless thing!”
Cang Ye saw that Baili Se was trembling with anger, but he still didn’t withdraw the suspicion in his eyes. “Your words are useless. You can’t prove that this matter really has nothing to do with you.”
Baili Se was really speechless and seemed especially agitated. “1 swear to the heavens that if 1 do anything to let my cousin down, I’ll definitely die a horrible death! Furthermore, if I want to harm my cousin, there’s no need for me to call the people from the Imperial Preceptor’s residence over to perform a ritual on his corpse from the beginning. Everything 1 did was just to let my cousin’s soul rest in peace after his death!”
At the end, her voice was choked with sobs. Her eyes were red, and tears kept rolling down her face.
This time, Cang Ye stared at Baili Se and didn’t raise any more doubts.
Shen Yaowei looked at Baili Se and could even clearly feel her helplessness and pain.
She seemed to have lost her direction and was crying so hard that she almost stopped breathing. It was really difficult to put on a show with her heartbroken appearance.
“Cang Ye, did we misunderstand Baili Se?” Shen Yaowei lowered her voice and leaned towards Cang Ye. She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
“Her true feelings can only prove that Baili Hui’s corpse transformation has nothing to do with her. As for other aspects, she can’t be trusted.” Cang Ye’s tone was very cold. As he spoke, his eyes were filled with distrust for Baili Se.
Shen Yaowei blinked and felt that Cang Ye made sense.
“I think we’ve misunderstood Miss Baili. Miss Baili, it happened so suddenly that we were caught off guard. That’s why we asked you a few more questions. Please don’t take it to heart.” Yao Qingyi softened his voice and comforted Baili Se gently.
Baili Se shook her head and walked into the depths of the mourning hall. Her knees softened, and she knelt in front of the memorial tablet. “Please help me find my cousin’s corpse. As long as 1 can find my cousin, I’m willing to pay any price!”
When Shen Yaowei saw Baili Se’s pained and despairing expression, she felt that Baili Se’s relationship with the dead Baili Hui was extraordinarily good.
But as far as she knew, hadn’t Baili Se just been taken in by Baili Hui not long ago? How did the two of them build such a deep relationship so quickly and in such a short time?
Everyone present was moved when they saw Baili Se’s tears.
Yao Qingyi walked forward and helped Baili Se up. “Don’t worry, Miss Baili. We’ll do our best to help you.”
“That’s true, but the general’s corpse has already turned into a zombie. Not only is he powerful, but we don’t know where the general is. How are we going to find him?” In the crowd, a disciple of the Imperial Preceptor’s residence looked at everyone and asked.
This time, everyone fell into deep silence again.
Baili Se looked anxious.. “Is there really no way to save my brother?”
