Chapter 595: The Sensitive Eldest Princess
The Eldest Princess's sudden question left Li Luo momentarily stunned, because although her tone carried a hint of suspicion, there was also an inexplicable certainty within it, which left him quite astonished—could the Eldest Princess really have discovered something?
His thoughts flashed like lightning, but Li Luo still shook his head reflexively, asking in confusion: "What does Your Highness mean by that? I'm just a mere Xiang Shi realm cultivator—do you think it's possible for me to threaten a Scarlet Armor General that even you Tian Zhu Jing experts working together couldn't handle?"
The Eldest Princess's phoenix eyes shifted as she smiled faintly: "I went to find the Vice Principal."
Li Luo's eye corner twitched almost imperceptibly—could Vice Principal Suxin have told the Eldest Princess about this? No, that can't be right. Given the Vice Principal's cautious nature, this matter involves Principal Pang, and regardless of the Eldest Princess's status, she absolutely would not have revealed such a thing to her. After all, no matter how close the Eldest Princess is to the academy, she ultimately still carries the identity of Wang Ting, and the wariness and guard between the academy and Wang Ting is a problem born from their respective positions—neither side can easily overlook it.
Then... there was only one possibility.
The Eldest Princess was bluffing him!
Thinking of this, Li Luo shook his head with an even more puzzled expression: "What did Your Highness go to find the Vice Principal for?"
The Eldest Princess's phoenix eyes fixed on Li Luo, then she suddenly smiled and said: "You really are quite perceptive, Li Luo. I do indeed only suspect that the Scarlet Armor General's death is related to you. You don't need to push everything onto Jiang Jiang Qinge. Although she is a Nine-Pin Light Phase, it's not strange for her to have some trump cards, but when I broke free from the illusion back then, I didn't sense any overly powerful Light Phase force residue in the world. This suggests she might not have actually cast some powerful Light Phase art capable of transcending common sense."
"Besides, I remember that when we woke up, you had already awakened. From a normal standpoint, your strength is the weakest, so you shouldn't have awakened faster than us. You might say Jiang Jiang Qinge woke you, but your complexion at the time was abnormally pale, as if you had just gone through a great battle."
"Furthermore, the Vice Principal's attitude toward you seems a bit special—she even spoke with you alone at the end. I understand Vice Principal Suxin's character quite well. Although she's gentle, she treats all students equally. But with you, she seems to have made an exception, which is enough to show that you did something special."
"Combining all of the above, I feel that the one who struck and killed the Scarlet Armor General back then might not have been Jiang Jiang Qinge, but... you."
"Li Luo, can you tell me how you did it?"
At the end, her phoenix eyes watched Li Luo with great interest, filled with curiosity.
Li Luo felt a bit troubled. He truly hadn't expected the Eldest Princess to have such a guess—not some so-called woman's intuition, but actual judgments drawn from clues. Just how meticulous and perceptive must one be?!
After her analysis, even Li Luo felt that the situation really did seem a bit off.
But getting him to admit it was still impossible, so he could only shake his head vigorously and say: "Your Highness is exaggerating. No matter what, a Xiang Shi realm cultivator could never kill a Da Tian Xiang Jing powerhouse. I truly don't know what you're talking about."
