"Yennie, Sadie, it's not what you think." Xenia's face flushed deep red, and she explained anxiously. "I was cultivating and recuperating when the evil spirits invaded me. Darryl is helping me get rid of the evil spirits!"
Xenia was so nervous. She was afraid that she did not make it clear.
'Ah, so that's what happened.'
Yennie nodded after hearing the explanation.
However, Sadie and the few other Nine Saint Oracles trembled. Their eyes locked onto Darryl.
"You are Darryl?"
"What does Cynthia's death have to do with you?"
The other Nine Saint Oracles yelled as they gathered around Darryl, glaring at him. The atmosphere became tense.
Uh…
Darryl was cornered. He replied bitterly, "I have nothing to do with Cynthia's death!"
'F*ck! How long more will this go on? Why am I always the black sheep?'
Yennie stepped forward and said, "Sisters, calm down. Earlier on the battle stage, the person named Florian had Cynthia's Nascent Power in his body, so he must be the murderer!"
Yennie was the smartest and wisest among the Nine Saint Oracles. She could always handle things calmly.
Sadie said nothing more after Yennie drew the conclusion.
The next second, Sadie said curiously, "But Xenia was the one who said that Darryl had done that awful thing to Cynthia before she died." Sadie looked at Xenia suspiciously.
Uh…
Xenia furrowed her eyebrows. She was equally confused. She said softly, "It was true that before Cynthia killed herself, she told me that it was Darryl who had killed her. But why is her Nascent Power in someone else and not Darryl?"
She frowned and looked at Darryl. She thought of something and coldly asked, "Darryl, how are you related to Florian?"
"I—"
He scratched his head and replied hesitantly, "We are cousins!"
Darryl never wanted to reveal his relationship with Florian to the Nine Saint Oracles, but he knew that if he had lied, the Nine Saint Oracles would doubt him when they learned the truth.
