Is Cao Ling one of The Gate's people?
Cao Ling knew this point, but out of a protective instinct combined with the fact that there were fewer people on her side and more on the opponent's, she had already prepared to follow Sui Yi in forming an alliance. Naturally, she would speak for her, and she scoffed, "I don't think there's any need for Sui Yi, an outsider, and a private individual at that, to have anything to do with our shared objective... Zhong Lang, you've been with the Imperial Guards for so many years, and even served as a criminal investigator, it doesn't make sense for you not to know the importance of motive."
"Motive?" Zhong Lang chuckled, "That terrifying figure from the Witchcraft Arts that appeared at Beijing University that day... isn't that enough to explain Sui Yi's motive? I think she definitely formed some kind of agreement with that person... or perhaps, they were in cahoots from the start..."
