(MC POV)
I was seated in Sect Master Qing's room, the man himself serving me tea as I told him about the favour Queen Guiying asked of me.
"Ah… I see. Thank you for telling me, Master Lin," Sect Master Qing nodded, setting the tea bowl down. "Is there anything I, or the Sect, can do for you?"
I took a sip of my tea before setting it down, "There is one thing actually. I haven't told anyone yet, but I know who the mastermind of the assassin is."
Sect Master Qing paused, "Oh? Wasn't the assassin that Zhiyang girl from Nirvanic Gate Sect?"
"Wait, how did you know?"
"Elder Feng told me when I visited him. We are making preparations to confront the Sect Master of Nirvanic Gate Sect about it."
My robes tightened slightly, pausing in massaging my shoulders.
Oh shit. I shouldn't have procrastinated on this matter…
I shook my head at him, "No, no. She isn't the main culprit, she was set up."
