Master Liang vehemently refused to take the blame for an accusation that made zero sense. Today was literally his first time ever encountering Yu Qi! He naturally assumed this odd child was referring to Yu Qi as her mother.
"Don't you dare try to lie to us! You forcibly extracted her spiritual energy and injected it into someone else! We know everything you did!" Xiaohua yelled back fiercely.
"What...?" Master Liang stammered, his mind reeling.
The only entity whose spiritual energy he had ever extracted was that mysterious ancient tree housed deep within his lab...! Was this little girl actually calling that ancient tree her mother?!
Suddenly, a subtle, rustling sound emanated from the grand ancient tree standing behind him. He whipped his head around and stared at the majestic ancient tree in utter shock.
"See...? She recognises you." Xiaohua pointed out with a chilling smirk.
