After reading the task scroll, Bai Ziyue's face remained calm, silently diving into thought.
Things were quite simple, actually. Zhang Guoyi seized the opportunity when most of the Inner Sect disciples had gone to annihilate the Ghost Head Stronghold and returned, creating some chaos within the sect. At night, he suddenly made his move and killed the Elder Scholar and Turtle Old Man.
The specific reasons were not mentioned, but these two were dead, and Zhang Guoyi had fled. Regardless of the reasons, he was sentenced to death.
*Bai Ziyue felt inclined to ignore the matter, but recalling their early acquaintance, he realized that if he did not intervene, Zhang Guoyi would be doomed if others tracked him down.*
*Thus, he hesitated.*
As for the Internal Affairs Hall assigning this matter to him, even if Bai Ziyue were naive, he would understand that there had to be something fishy here.
Perhaps there was some conspiracy, lurking here, waiting for him.
