When he said this, his gaze was fixed on Shu Kui, and he murmured cryptically, "This person might even be among the Divine Hall's top brass!"
Shu Kui closed the book, leaned back slightly on the sofa, and smiled wryly at him, "So, what do you mean by telling me all this?"
"Now everyone in the Divine Hall is suspect; I'm just here to give you a heads up."
"So, you're suspect too."
"Me? Of course not! I am loyal to the Divine Hall unto death! I would never betray the Divine Hall!" As soon as Mansa heard this, he became agitated and immediately denied it.
Shu Kui looked relaxed, "Of the spies I've interrogated, eight out of ten said the same thing."
"You... My loyalty to the Divine Hall is as clear as day! Don't sow discord here and slander me unjustly! Anyway, I'm just here to inform you. Since you're busy, I won't bother you any longer!" Mansa felt it pointless to talk further with this research-obsessed oddball.
Shu Kui waved his hand, "Goodbye, won't see you off."
"Hmph!"
