It was even possible that the reason he was killed was not that he had the diary or Mingguang Enterprise, but because he became her husband.

It was because of that simulation that Wang Ye had never suspected Ming Zhu.

It wasn’t until he learned about the Ancient Sword Relic from the simulations and found that the place contained the remains of senior Xiao Tao.

“From the moment I entered the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb, I had an agreement with the senior divine sword. Later on, I investigated. The sealed senior divine sword is likely the main character in the Xinghai Demon Disaster, the demon sword! Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been sealed,” Wang Ye paused, “If it was a normal beastmaster who knew that if he did anything, he would be helping the demon sword, he definitely wouldn’t have agreed.”

“However, what’s interesting is that I happened to obtain a diary. And it just so happened that the owner of that diary is senior Xiao Tao’s original beastmaster. At this point, even a normal beastmaster would have doubts. The owner of the diary was an investigator who went deep into the dark fog to investigate. In the end, he didn’t hesitate to die in the dark fog to get his pets to return to human society with precious information. How did these pets become the demon sword that was sealed?”

“With this information, even a normal beastmaster would try to help, or understand, and unravel the reason behind this. Not to mention, I even obtained Xiao Tao’s Scalding Bright Flame. You being a descendant of the Ming family, I once asked you about the flame. You probably started setting things up since then, right?”

Wang Ye looked at Ming Zhu with a faint smile.

That’s right, the Scalding Bright Flame was key in the later series of events.

The flame was the Tao Divine Sword’s power. As a descendant of the Ming family, Ming Zhu definitely knew about it.

Back then, she even said that her ancestors had the flame.

Ming Zhu didn’t say anything.

“Of course, just these things aren’t enough to make me suspicious. After all, it’s just a fortuitous encounter!” Wang Ye waved his hand, “I’m a genius Beastmaster, so what if I had a fortuitous encounter, right? Who would suspect me?”

“After that, you brought me to take part in the professional assessment and then to the Hidden Mysterious Realm. In the process, although we hadn’t interacted much, the Hidden Mysterious Realm’s seal had been inexplicably broken. At that time, the Qixing Investigation Corps had sent people to investigate, and those people had been fighting with the unsealed remains.”

“As for me, with the Scalding Bright Flames, I was able to reap the benefits and successfully obtain the second remnant of senior Xiao Tao. At that time, I still didn’t suspect anything. After all, I’m a genius Beastmaster. What’s fishy about me encountering a fortuitous encounter? With that, I easily found two of Xiao Tao’s remnants within a few months. I’m really amazing!”

Wang Ye muttered to himself, as if boasting, “But at that time, I was still suspected by the Qixing Investigation Corps. It couldn’t be helped though, I was too strong, and I also went deep into the core of the Hidden Mysterious Realm. It was normal for me to be suspected. At that time, I was not arrested because they weren’t sure. I also saved a team of Qixing Investigation Corps’ team members, which helped me delay their investigation too.”

“Later, after the assessment, you used my sword rabbit as a pretense to give me the clue of the third remnant, right? So, there was the way of the sword exchange meet. On the surface, you came with the pretense of letting Sword Saint Gu guide my sword rabbit. But in truth, it was to find an appropriate reason to see if I had the ability to solve the mystery in the sword-testing stone, right?”

“After I solved the mystery in the sword-testing stone and really arrived at the Ancient Sword Relic, I felt that something was wrong,” Wang Ye narrowed his eyes, “What kind of hidden place is the Ancient Sword Relic? Even the Qixing Investigation Corps outside isn’t clear about it. They don’t know how to get in, and even if they did, they might not be able to break the mystery behind the sword intent seal and enter the place. So, how did you know that the sword-testing stone was the key?”

“Then, I recalled that the collection of the divine sword’s three remnants had each been more successful than the last. Such a legendary divine sword had been sealed for 200 years, but I found its remnants all so easily. All the relics were related to the divine sword. Thinking about it, I knew something was wrong. It was as if something was pushing me forward in the dark.”

To be honest, some of his speculations came from the simulations.

If it had only been a conjecture out of suspicion, Wang Ye would not have dared to be sure.

In the simulations, especially in the first one where he did not enter the Ancient Sword Relic, the place had only exploded many years later and the remnant was taken away.

With this, Wang Ye was certain that this “big hand” was near him. He also deduced that it was the Dark Fog Cult.

As such, he designed the situation he was in now to see who would come secretly save him after he escaped.

He had only been 100% certain when the first person he laid eyes on after teleporting was Ming Zhu.

As for why he hadn’t suspected Lin Rou, it was because Lin Rou wasn’t present during most of his expeditions.

After hearing all this, Ming Zhu was very silent.

Clap, clap, clap…

“You’re really amazing. Of course, I feel that you still have many things you’re hiding from me,” Ming Zhu’s eyes were full of smiles, “What else do you know?”

Wang Ye pondered and said, “I guess you did this because you had no choice, right?”

“…” Ming Zhu.

“It’s just a guess, but,” Wang Ye said with a smile, “You should have obtained Ming Tianxu’s diary for some time now. “However, you probably didn’t about your ancestor’s situation before this because too many investigators had died in the dark fog back then. Your ancestor was only one of them.”
