"This..." Dongfang Lian hesitated a bit; she had basically come to believe that Dongfang Jing's death was not caused by the Netherworld Palace. Instead of trust in the Netherworld Palace and Ghost, it was more a personal trust in Ye Shikai, perhaps due to his character. Speaking of which, the thugs they encountered on their camping trip were a litmus test of Ye Shikai's character. At the time, he didn't know that if he had known Dongfang Lian had such good skills, he wouldn't have been eager to play the savior. However, Dongfang Lian couldn't reveal her skills then; otherwise, if Ye Shikai saw them, her "revenge plan" would be ruined before reaching the campsite.
Ye Shikai was also innocent, being inexplicably drawn into avenging this woman's family feud. However, this avoided unnecessary losses from both sides. Although a bit troublesome, it was indeed a strategic decision from the big picture, and this was the best result.
