Pei Shaoqing was preparing to frame Wu Tian again. In truth, he had absolutely no hard evidence that Wu Tian had killed the Grand Elder and then framed Ouyang Rong for it.
But he had already completely destroyed Wu Tian's credibility and reputation, creating the illusion for everyone that any accusation he made against Wu Tian was backed by solid proof.
This left everyone present half-convinced and half-skeptical.
But Wu Tian, more than anyone else, believed Pei Shaoqing had evidence. Because he had actually done it, he had a guilty conscience.
'Pei Shaoqing must have come today fully prepared to destroy me,' he thought. 'Since he knows I'm the one who killed Second Martial Uncle and framed Ouyang Rong, he must have already secured the evidence before daring to bring this up publicly.'
And so, his expression twisted out of control, his face a mask of utter despair.
One could only say that clever people tend to overthink things.
"Junior Brother Ouyang was framed?"
