"No!" Zhuge Kongfang's answer shocked everyone. Initially, seeing how confident Gu Shishi had been, most people had assumed Zhuge Kongfang was indeed the culprit. However, since Zhuge Kongfang had always been known as an upright hero, no one dared to fully believe it until he confessed. Hearing his firm denial now, many began to doubt Gu Shishi instead, thinking, "Could Zhuge Kongfang be right? Has she fallen under the spell of that handsome youth from the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
As for Gu Shishi herself, she couldn't believe it either. She was absolutely certain she had recognized that voice correctly, yet the current situation left her bewildered. Was she wrong, or had the soul-bewitching technique failed entirely?
