Zhou Mu finally looked up upon hearing this, his face, as if sculpted by the divine, was filled with helplessness.
Seeing Zhou Mu finally show some reaction, Zhou Zongbao felt even more convinced his guess was on point. He tempered his anger and continued, "Is it really because of this matter? It shouldn't be..."
"You are not one to believe in ghosts and gods, besides, such events, though rare, have happened before. Didn't Shang Xie from the Gu Residence also attract the Phoenix Rite Omen? How come I don't see you treating him differently?"
"No, that's not right. You did treat him differently. Wasn't it you who secretly saved him, allowing him to escape the calamity of his clan's extermination..."
Zhou Zongbao muttered to himself while wracking his brains, feeling that something was not quite right, but for the moment, he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
In fact, Zhou Zongbao's guess was not bad.
It's just that he had guessed the cause and effect all wrong.
