Chapter 535

That night, the bright moon hung in the sky.

In a small alley by the street, Lu Wushuang's group of three stared at each other.

After a long while, Miyoshi Ryota spoke hesitantly.

"Should we go?"

Nanao remained silent.

Lu Wushuang said in a deep voice.

"Only a fool would go. Your brain is not even as good as Nanao's. It concerns her family; have you seen her say she wants to go?"

Miyoshi Ryota touched the back of his head and asked suspiciously.

"But the other party doesn't seem to have any hostility?"

Lu Wushuang gave him a look of disdain.

"Can poison that smells like shit kill people?"

"Have you ever thought about what we are facing if Nanao's memory is not wrong?"

"Not to mention the energy required to completely erase the traces of a family and dozens of servants, just look at the people we asked during the day; they didn't recognize Nanao, and it was definitely not a disguise."

"Since Nanao's memory is not the problem, then the problem lies with them... Do you know where the problem is?"

Miyoshi Ryota was shocked.

"So... it's their memories that are the problem!"

Lu Wushuang nodded.

"Of course."

"Working backward from this point, those who can tamper with memories are mostly Heavenly Humans who have mastered internal cultivation. How many families in the East Island might have internal cultivation inheritances?"

"And the scope... Nanao's family is a wealthy household, and there must be at least dozens of people who frequently come into contact with her family, and hundreds who know them. If the memory erasure was done in segments, it would soon fail due to daily interactions... so, this was likely completed overnight."

"Hundreds of people, overnight."

"The Heavenly Human who did this is definitely not the only one."

Lu Wushuang suddenly gripped her sword hilt.

"Internal cultivation inheritance, multiple Heavenly Humans, within Kyoto... possessing all three points, don't tell me you can't guess which family it is."

Miyoshi Ryota was shocked again.

"Shinto!"

Lu Wushuang nodded.

"This is the only option."

"Since it involves Shinto, one question must be asked—"

She turned to look at Nanao.

"Who are you?"

"If your family was just a simple wealthy merchant, why would it involve Shinto... and why did Matsuura Takanobu recognize you before he died, and think that using your identity could save his own life?"

Before Nanao could speak, she waved her hand.

"You don't know, so you don't have to answer, but you should also be clear that this is no longer just a matter of sending you home."

"You must explain everything about your family, in detail... If your family were innocent people controlled by Shinto, then undoubtedly your running away caused some changes, and it is very likely to be dangerous..."

"The sooner we find out, the greater the chance your family will survive."

Without a doubt, Lu Wushuang was inducing a confession.

She did not mention the possibility that Nanao's family were accomplices of Shinto, or even Shinto followers. She only used "your family might be in danger" to force Nanao to speak.

But in fact, even if she had said it, Nanao would have subconsciously ignored this point... who would think their own family were bad people?

Traveling all the way, Li Miao had never hidden anything from Nanao, so she naturally knew clearly what kind of stuff Shinto was.

Thus, without Lu Wushuang saying more, Nanao took the initiative to pour out everything she knew.

After she finished speaking, Lu Wushuang's brows were tightly locked.

"Too normal."

That's right, too normal.
