The more he thought about it, the clearer it became.
The old fox wasn't defending his position aggressively because he didn't need to win here.
He only needed to keep Li Feng in this place a little longer.
Just as Li Feng's thoughts were spiraling, Prime Minister Mu suddenly frowned slightly and spoke with concern,
"Envoy Li, your expression suddenly changed. Is something wrong?"
The old man took a small step forward, his voice full of apparent sincerity.
"If Envoy Li is still worried about the demonic cultivators, why don't we investigate together right now? This old man can immediately gather all the recent guests and servants. With Envoy Li's sharp eyes, we might be able to root out any hidden threats tonight."
He gestured politely toward him.
"It won't take long. What does Envoy Li think?"
Prime Minister Mu's eyes carried a trace of eagerness, as if he truly wanted to cooperate.
But to Li Feng, every word now sounded like another layer of delay.
