Regarding this point, Xu Shu truly didn't lie.
The reason he previously engaged in such an outrageous operation, allowing the Red Emperor Army to attack Luo Lan, thereby indirectly killing "Hong Yan," was twofold.
First, it was to test whether the lamb present at the time was indeed transformed by Hong Yan, after all, Xiao Ya's puppet could only save one, saving the wrong one could be troublesome.
Second, of course, there was a personal motive, which was to test whether Hong Jun was truly "unaware"!
Though he speculated that Hong Jun previously judged him as an enemy through some principle related to Hong Yan's death, a principle clearly related to the "rogue" path.
After all, this is an Extraordinary Profession associated with death and slaughter, capable of directly tracing the killer of blood relatives, though mystical, but not surprising.
