The old walnut tree in the yard, on the surface, looked like it was in full bloom and appeared lush, but these were merely appearances.
In fact, when Huo Sining first used Spiritual Energy to investigate the walnut tree, she unexpectedly discovered that the roots of the tree had been artificially severed at some point.
Worried that she might be mistaken, Huo Sining hurriedly activated her Heavenly Eye to look at the roots of the walnut tree again.
Upon this closer look, she became even more certain of her suspicion. It was indeed an act of sabotage, and the person responsible used a razor, likely a very sharp dagger or something similar.
Huo Sining had seen precious swords that cut through iron like mud, so she was perfectly clear about how the current situation was caused.
The roots of the tree had suffered such severe damage that, under these circumstances, it was impossible to supply the trunk with enough nutrients and water.
