From Xia Nan's perspective, he naturally didn't know the intricacies involved.
His entire knowledge of Mint was merely as a somewhat suspicious spellcaster teammate.
Before this, he wasn't even aware of her identity as a beastman.
Under these circumstances, more about this girl's past, her mental journey after being infected with beastification, her encounter with Priest Reine, and her enmity with Cash and Vireis...
All of it was unknown.
With the scene unfolding before him, the conclusion Xia Nan could draw—
Mint was precisely the mastermind behind the turmoil among the forest beasts, and also the target of the Association's beastman investigation mission.
Perhaps she had some unknown agenda, using excellent disguise abilities to infiltrate the Sea Thorn Squad as a spellcaster, continuously causing trouble for him and others along the way.
Recalling it now, the Temple Night Wolf Pack encountered previously, and the Bear just now, were most likely all attracted by her.
