Shen Yunqing was about to speak, but saw Wu Jue shake his head almost imperceptibly toward him.
Confessing now would undoubtedly affect Your Majesty's state of mind, which would play into Wu Hua's scheme.
Moreover, Wu Jue was convinced that Wu Hua herself wasn't sure what price Shen Yunqing had paid.
This junior sister of his was inherently an extremely selfish person.
Some sacrifices she would never be able to comprehend in her lifetime.
Thus, any words spoken now would not carry the weight of Shen Yunqing speaking himself.
The impact on Your Majesty would also be limited.
Wu Hua indeed wasn't very sure in her heart.
Although she knew that to resurrect two souls from a thousand years ago, a huge price had to be paid.
The mage using such a Forbidden Technique would also pay a significant price.
But she would not exhaust herself to do this for others, and naturally wouldn't know the specifics.
Her earlier words were just to provoke Shen Yunqing into confessing himself.
