Lin Xuan revealed the cruel truth, only to find Qing Yiyi's expression calm, as if she had known the answer all along.
"Miss Yiyi already knew?" Lin Xuan asked. Seeing how calm she was, it was obvious she did.
"No, I didn't. I just had my suspicions about the Second Elder. Of everyone, he had the strongest motive..." A flash of anger crossed Qing Yiyi's eyes, but she quickly calmed down. She looked up, staring at Lin Xuan. "Are you saying you learned the Cyan Cloud Step because you accidentally found a final letter?"
"Yes, but I burned it after memorizing it," Lin Xuan added, fabricating another excuse. It was the only way he could explain it, and it was a relatively believable story. Otherwise, it would be completely unreasonable for him to suddenly offer to teach her the Cyan Cloud Step.
