Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 358

Could it have been done by one of my senior brothers? Why didn't I inform him beforehand?

With a gloomy face, Bo Yikao held Su Daji in his arms, not bothering to speculate about anyone.

Mo Wang glanced at Jiang Ziya and comforted him, "Don't worry, even if someone poisons you after you've taken the elixir, it won't harm the child."

"But one can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days. There is such a ruthless person watching me in the dark, who could harm my child at any time. I cannot sleep at night until I find this person!" Su Daji protected her lower abdomen, leaning against Boyi Kao's arms with tears streaming down her face.

"Bo Yikao, what do you think that person's purpose is in wanting to harm an unborn child?" Su Daji also looked at Jiang Ziya, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

Bo Yikao comforted Su Daji, already having some guesses, but he was unwilling to believe them, so he remained silent.

Half a month later, a monster caused trouble in the outskirts of Xiqi and even injured Ji Fa. Bo Yikao healed Ji Fa's wounds and Mo Wang went to capture the monster himself.

At that very moment, a raging fire broke out in Su Daji's room, spreading rapidly with the wind and impossible to extinguish.

If Bu Ran hadn't happened to emerge from seclusion at that moment and divert river water to extinguish the fire, Su Daji would have had no chance of survival. Furthermore, during the fire extinguishing, someone attempted to stop them with magical powers; it was Bu Ran's superior skills that saved Su Daji.

When Boyi Kao rushed back, he saw Su Daji sitting in the courtyard, looking disheveled, with a patch of her hair on fire.

A letter was left on a tree outside Su Daji's courtyard. The letter was filled with arrogant words:

I've heard that the daughter of Marquis Su Hu of Ji Province is a beauty of unparalleled grace. How can the son of a mere duke be worthy of possessing such a beauty? A beauty that could topple kingdoms should serve the king; otherwise, what use is she?

It's so obvious, it's as if it's already told everyone who the murderer is.

But the more obvious it is, the more impossible it becomes.

Bo Yikao was forced to confront his brother's ambition and ruthlessness. Before, it was just a guess, but now it was almost certain.

Why is it that Ji Fa was injured so conveniently, and why did the fire start so conveniently?

One moment a demon was causing trouble and injuring Ji Fa, and the next, both he and Mo Wang were sent away, leaving only Su Daji in the courtyard. The raging fire spread too quickly; hundreds of servants tried to extinguish it but failed, and even Su Daji, a cultivator, couldn't escape…

"Brother Fa, is your injury healed?" Boyi Kao slowly turned to Ji Fa.

Ji Fa swallowed hard. He had never seen his brother like this before. In his memory, his brother was gentle and kind, always protecting him no matter how naughty he was, and giving him whatever he liked.

But this matter really has nothing to do with him. If he wanted to do it, he would have hit the mark immediately. Why would he use such a crude and obvious scheme?

"Brother, you know my injury. It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious." Ji Fa looked at Boyi Kao, wanting to explain, but didn't know where to begin.

Given the current situation, it seems he really is worth suspecting.

"Brother, please believe me, I really didn't do it! How could I harm your child!"

"Has the strategist returned? If he has captured the monster, and I confront it, he can surely prove my innocence."

Ji Fa hurriedly tried to explain, attempting to convince Boyi Kao. But as Boyi Kao's gaze grew colder, he knew that his once-loving elder brother would no longer believe him.

"No need. I trust you, brother." Boyi Kao lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him.

Ji Fa knew that Boyi Kao had stopped investigating precisely because he no longer trusted him. His so-called trust was less a matter of belief and more a matter of ceasing the investigation.
