Bai Yuqiong shuddered. Heavenly Lord Fire seemed forthright, but in truth he was deeply calculating; he had known all along that she was the reincarnation of the Southern Emperor, yet he had kept her alive all this time precisely in order to deal with Shen Mu! He kept her alive so as to give Shen Mu the chance to 'err', to give himself a reason to kill Shen Mu!
