Chapter 1079: Definitely Not Her

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: Definitely Not Her

If it wasn’t someone from the island, or more accurately, someone who has a deep-seated grudge against the Island Master of Shuiqi Island, why would they go to such great lengths to poison the water source so maliciously?

So, the root of the problem must be related to the so-called Island Master Mansion.

Thinking of this, Han Jing also thought of that person who is likely a Divine Level Expert, Xiaoqi. On Shuiqi Island, the only one associated with a Divine Level Expert is the Island Master’s Wife, Feng Peining, but obviously, Xiaoqi cannot be Feng Peining.

"Shi Qi, do you think a Divine Level Expert can be poisoned?" Han Jing suddenly asked.

Ning Shiqi nodded: "Divine Level Experts are not invincible. Poisons like Puppet Grass are specifically designed to target Divine Level Experts, which is why they are considered Forbidden Techniques. However, the Spirit Core of a Divine Level Expert has reached a solid state. The Spirit Flame we cultivate is intangible, but at a Divine Level, it becomes a tangible, transparent Spirit Core. As the Spirit Core further strengthens, forming a structure similar to metal, it can block most harm, almost rendering one immortal."

The reason it’s ’almost’ is because true immortality doesn’t exist in this world.

As for why, he doesn’t know.

Han Jing’s eyes spun with thoughts, waving to Ning Shiqi: "I’m heading back first. You should rest early."

Then, without paying attention to Su Yu, she turned and left.

Su Yu...

When Su Yu returned to the room, Han Jing was sitting alone at the table, one hand supporting her chin, and her other fingers tapping gently on the tabletop.

Having been with Han Jing for so long, Su Yu could tell at a glance that she was deep in thought.

"Are you suspecting that woman from today?" Su Yu sat down and asked.

Han Jing shook her head: "She’s the most suspect, but it’s definitely not her."

Su Yu became a bit curious at this, to be honest. He had thoughts about everything, except when it came to women; he was truly clueless about them, so he didn’t understand how Han Jing arrived at her conclusion.

Analyzing what has happened so far, the biggest suspect is undoubtedly Xiaoqi, who poisoned Su Xingqiao. It’s highly likely that she staged everything herself and, upon accidentally hearing them mention the Puppet Grass poison, found a way to hinder them and led them to this place.

The idea of true and false mingling, the truly clever people are those who make it impossible for you to understand their thoughts and intentions, causing you to become confused by your own random guesses.

That Xiaoqi is definitely not simple.

Han Jing, with her chin resting on her hand, met Su Yu’s puzzled gaze and gave him two words in response: "Intuition."

Su Yu...

Han Jing smiled: "It’s actually because she asked Brother Qiao, ’Do you blame me?’ which made me certain she’s not the poisoner."

Su Yu was even more puzzled: "Shouldn’t that sentence prove she did it on purpose and is most suspicious?"

Han Jing nodded: "That’s indeed the case, but if it were you, would you ask someone if they blame you after harming them on purpose?"

Su Yu: "Just because I wouldn’t, doesn’t mean she wouldn’t. You can’t judge an abnormal person with normal logic."

Han Jing... She feels he’s the most abnormal one...

"Fine, even if that reasoning doesn’t hold, the place we’re staying at now should explain something, right?"
