The question left Gui Kui momentarily speechless. He frowned, beginning to consider Jian's suggestion that this had been a premeditated operation. Jian continued, "From the moment I appeared at the Thunder Punishment Pool to my arrival in Guihui City, only two days have passed. If I were truly 'high-profile,' it would only be today. It is impossible for the mastermind behind this to have planned everything just today. After all, breaking a ghost out of hell to create chaos, ensuring my presence in Guihui City, and mobilizing so many old ghosts to surround me—there simply wasn't enough time.
"If I had been targeted the moment I appeared at the Thunder Punishment Pool, they would have had a full day to prepare. That would have been enough to achieve this result. They just didn't expect that I wouldn't wait at the Penalty Hall for news, but instead head to Guihui City so quickly, which is why the plan wasn't perfect."
Gui Kui finally understood. Fairy Jian was implying that the reason she had been nearly surrounded was that news of her had leaked from the Penalty Hall, or that some within his own ranks were conspiring against her.
