"Doing this only angers the Wuwan Temple, there's absolutely no benefit... Just because I, a humble monk, humiliated that military officer and damaged the Imperial court's dignity?"
"Impossible, the Great Yuan Empress would never act so impulsively."
Shi Yun's mind raced.
Despite his impressive strength, it was only remarkable among those of his generation. He was still far from the Nirvana Realm, not enough to make the Imperial court so wary as to take huge risks to eliminate him.
The only possibility was that he had underestimated the position of the military officer named Chen Mo in the Empress's mind.
Recalling those purple-gold eyes, Shi Yun felt a vague suspicion but didn't dare to confirm it.
After all, it was somewhat hard to believe...
"Senior brother, are you alright?"
Hui Neng quickly stepped forward and helped Shi Yun up.
