Shui Jue gave Feng Tianlan a worried look. "At first, there was always someone who would stir things up every day. I killed a few but a different person would start spreading more rumors the next day."
Whenever he killed a batch, another batch would take over. It was never-ending. He could kill these people; however, he couldn't kill every citizen of Lin'an City. Besides, he couldn't disturb Her Highness while she was shutting herself in. Therefore, he could only watch as the people spread these rumors around.
Even if they were to send someone over to lead the commoners into believing that those rumors weren't real, this world was filled with people who loved to fan the flames of trouble. Therefore, it wouldn't really work that well.
"Please punish me, Your Highness. I did a bad job."
Feng Tianlan glanced at Shui Jue and said faintly, "You all did well. You can retreat for now."
