Night Leaning Moon was disturbed by Zuo Ming's words and withdrew her aura.
However, the worry and graveness in his eyes did not lessen at all.
Night Leaning Moon said to Zuo Ming after a while.
"Next time, tell Old Liu not to ask for instructions. Outside, everything is decided by Jie."
"Just do what Little Jie tells him to do."
"I've heard that Ji Changdeng's youngest disciple, An He, doesn't get along with any of His Holiness's disciples. Whenever he sees any His Holiness's disciple of the same age, he would inevitably fight."
"If Little Jie was the only one on the island, Little Jie would have to fight An He."
"If the two sides have another dispute after the war, it's not impossible for them to go to war."
"But Sigh Moon's disciple is on the island. That old bootlicker Ji Changdeng's disciple can't do anything to Lin Yuan."
"There are some things that Ji Changdeng would have said to his disciples. These are all trivial matters."
"Tell Old Liu that he doesn't need to worry about Little Jie. Tell him to withdraw from Stormy Waves City as soon as possible."
At this point, Night Leaning Moon's tone changed, becoming terrifyingly low.
Night Leaning Moon tilted her head and glanced at Zuo Ming before asking with a trembling voice.
"Zuo Ming, how's the investigation going?"
Zuo Ming hesitated for a while and looked at Night Leaning Moon's expression.
In the end, he still told them what he had discovered.
"Chief Guard, I went to ask His Holiness Cicada Cry about that matter, but His Holiness Cicada Cry didn't see me and told me to leave."
"Then, I went to see the old man as you instructed. When the old man knew why I came, he didn't ask me to stay and play chess as usual."
"The old man sighed and said he was tired. Then he dozed off on the chair."
At this point, Zuo Ming no longer spoke.
The matter that the Chief Guard had asked him to investigate involved the Moon Empress, and it was a very sensitive matter.
To be honest, the Chief Guard did not have the right to investigate such matters.
Under normal circumstances, regardless of whether the matter was true or not, His Holiness Cicada Cry and that old man would come to find out that the bureau chief was investigating this matter.
He wanted to ask the Chief Guard if she had heard any rumors and why she was investigating this matter.
His Holiness Cicada Cry and that old man should be getting anxious.
However, when His Holiness Cicada Cry and that old man found out about the Chief Guard's investigation, they were shocked.
He didn't question or deny it. Instead, he took an evasive attitude.
The reason behind this was self-evident.
Zuo Ming shuddered at the thought of the Chief Guard and the Moon Empress' friendship.
The bureau chief must have confirmed the suspicions accumulated over the past ten years through the attitudes of His Holiness Cicada Cry and that old man.
When Night Leaning Moon heard Cicada Ming's words, her starry eyes suddenly closed.
When she opened her eyes again, the liveliness in Night Leaning Moon's eyes had turned into a deathly stillness.
Night Leaning Moon's body trembled slightly. In the end, her entire person was like a withered yellow leaf on the iron chain bridge.
Night Leaning Moon clenched her fists tightly, and the bones in her hands made a loud noise.
He thought about how the Moon Empress had been overcautious and indecisive when dealing with matters over the past ten years. It was as if she had lost her original temperament.
Especially after the Moon Empress accepted Lin Yuan as her disciple, everything she did was to pave the way for Lin Yuan. It was as though she was dealing with funeral matters.
This Moon Empress was completely different from the Moon Empress in Night Leaning Moon's memories.
In Night Leaning Moon's memories, the Moon Empress should have a temperament that could surpass the heavens and act decisively.
Even if she would hold an umbrella for her disciple, she would hope that her disciple could do his best to fight for a future.
Tracing back to the source of the Moon Empress' abnormality, Night Leaning Moon thought about the confrontation with the Freedom Federation ten years ago.
The situation of this confrontation was made into a scroll and sealed in the imperial court's Secret Scroll Pavilion.
After Night Leaning Moon found out, she used the Spirit Guards' information as an excuse.
She carefully checked the scroll of the confrontation between the Radiance and the Freedom Federation ten years ago.
During that conflict ten years ago, she had led people to subdue the carcinoma feys that were wreaking havoc in the Radiance Federation.
Thus, Night Leaning Moon did not understand the situation of that conflict.
After checking the scroll, Night Leaning Moon realized that the contents seemed to be coherent.
However, there were too many things that should have been recorded in detail.
Such a situation should not exist in a scroll that focused on recording facts.
This meant that the contents of the scroll had been modified.
At that time, the Moon Empress had killed three of the Freedom Federation's top experts by herself. It was a fact that she had been injured.
When the Moon Empress had been injured, Night Leaning Moon had specially visited her.
However, the Moon Empress didn't see her back then, and Night Leaning Moon felt that it was very strange.
Night Leaning Moon's suspicions had been growing for a long time.
According to the information that Night Leaning Moon had found over the past year, she was gradually approaching the truth of the matter.
Letting Zuo Ming meet the cicadas and the old man was Night Leaning Moon's last test.
A gust of wind blew across the iron chain bridge, causing it to shake incessantly.
But when the iron chain bridge shook, Night Leaning Moon's body was already standing straight.
Night Leaning Moon asked Zuo Ming in a low voice as she looked up at the two moons in the sky.
"Zuo Ming, is Xie Dan the one leading the Freedom Federation's envoys to Radiance?"
Zuo Ming felt goosebumps all over his body.
Zuo Ming had been by Night Leaning Moon's side for nearly forty years, so he believed that he knew her very well.
Night Leaning Moon was an extremely calm and just person.
But such people were more hysterical than any other kind of people in the world when they went crazy.
They were the first to know about the Freedom Federation's diplomatic mission to Radiance.
Zuo Ming also learned about it from Night Leaning Moon.
Now, Night Leaning Moon was asking herself whether Xie Dan was leading the Freedom Federation's diplomatic mission.
The meaning behind it was self-evident.
Zuo Ming braced himself and said.
"Chief Guard, the Freedom Federation's leader is Xie Dan."
Zuo Ming asked in a probing manner.
"Chief Guard, if you want to confirm the Moon Empress's matter, why don't you ask her personally?
If you really can't, you can ask His Holiness Cicadas and the old man. "
Night Leaning Moon shook her head gently.
"Moon is so proud. How can I touch her scar at this time?"
"Zuo Ming, find all the treasures that can increase one's lifespan in my treasury and send them to the Radiant Moon Palace for Dark Moon."
"Let Dark Moon decide how to handle it."
"I will stay in the imperial court for this period of time. You and You Zhe can handle the Spirit Guards as usual."
After speaking, Night Leaning Moon's figure disappeared from the iron chain bridge.
While the sun chain and the moonlight chain were in a stalemate, the nine sun chains that were not blocked by the moonlight chain became increasingly resplendent.
Gradually, the orange color in the sun chains was replaced by a bright white light.
The orange color around the Mother of Bloodbath was also suffused with a dazzling white light.
