Chapter 31: Framed

Zhu Xianling was already kneeling on the ground and being interrogated by the Zhu Clan by the time Su Chen arrived.

It was impossible for her not to kneel. The crime of selling out a clan was incredibly serious.

However, to Su Chen, the scene before his very eyes was what was noteworthy - it was identical to the scene he had seen on the altar.

Su Chen had considered stopping Zhu Xianyao when she was heading for the main hall, because he still had some suspicions in his heart.

The prediction was unchanged and became reality, which was the reason why the cost was so low.
