Chapter Seventy-Six: Estrangement
Hearing what Yi He said, although I didn't answer, my brows wrinkled unconsciously, and the expression on my face was full of confusion and confusion.
Because what Yi He is saying now is exactly what I have the most doubts in my heart.
The reason why we dressed up all the way, and even went to great lengths to change everyone's fate, is to let everyone not find our whereabouts, and only in this way can we have a surprise move on the Zhongyuan Day.
But now, whether it is Yebai or the mysterious person who attacked Xue Nan just now, it is obvious that they have already known that we have come to Kaifeng, and such a result will of course make me feel a little strange, and I can't help but start thinking about what is going on, but I have not got a reasonable explanation.
Just now, I was able to put this matter aside for the time being, but now after hearing what Yi He said, the doubts in my heart inevitably resurfaced.
However, although I don't know the reason for this, I can hear from Yi He's current tone that he seems to have his own thoughts on this matter.
So, I stopped thinking about it for a moment and looked at Yi and waited for him to come up with his own explanation.
Seeing me like this, Yi He naturally knew what I was thinking, and he didn't pretend to be profound, but slowly analyzed me seriously.
"My lord, since I respect Yebai's predecessor as my master, I naturally know something about it, and Yebai's predecessor's cultivation is profound, and it can even be said that he can plan Shenzhou Cangsheng Wandai with his fingers, so I am not surprised that he can know our whereabouts."
"But there is no doubt that the divination technique of Yebai's predecessors is unique in the world, and this mysterious third-party force must not have such magical powers, that is, it is very likely that someone secretly reported the news, so they can accurately find our whereabouts."
"But my lord, think about it carefully, and we have never revealed our whereabouts to anyone along the way, and we have never even had the slightest contact with anyone, except for our group, it stands to reason that no one will know that we have come to Kaifeng."
Hearing this, a terrible thought suddenly rose in my heart, and I looked at Yi He and asked in disbelief.
"Yihe, do you mean ......?"
After hearing what I didn't say, Yi He nodded to me with a serious expression, only to see him get up again, walk to the door and window to confirm that there was no trace of anyone eavesdropping outside the meditation room, and then looked at me and said categorically.
"My lord, your guess is correct, in my opinion, there is only one possibility in this situation, that is, among our group, someone has passed on our whereabouts to the outside world in a way that we have not noticed, so it will lead to the attack on Xue Nan tonight!"
Sure enough, as I expected, Yi He really suspected that someone in this group secretly leaked our whereabouts.
Calm down and think about it, this conclusion is indeed the most likely reason for the situation we are in, but it is extremely difficult for me to accept.
Whether it is Yebai's meaningful words or the message left by my father in the Vientiane Shrine, these are all signs that there is a special presence in our group, and this person's purpose is not as simple as he appears, but has other intentions.
However, our group of people has really been born and died with each other along the way, and although I have long guessed about the existence of this person, psychologically, I still do not believe that there are really people in our group who harbor evil intentions.
Therefore, after hearing Yi He say such a conclusion, I couldn't help but find it difficult to accept it for a while, and the expression on my face was extremely distorted, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
Yi He, of course, understood my feelings, and when he saw my incredulous look, he showed great understanding, walked up to me and patted me lightly on the shoulder, and his tone became soft.
"My lord, I don't want such a hidden danger in our group, but it turns out that this is the only possibility that can cause us to be in this situation, and I really can't find a second reason to convince myself."
I shook my head with a painful expression, and while looking at Yihe, I asked with a glimmer of hope in my mouth.
"Yihe, isn't there any other possibility, maybe we missed something, so we unknowingly exposed our whereabouts?"
"My lord, calm down, don't be emotional."
Although Yi He called me the master, in fact, in our relationship, he regarded me more like a child, and when he saw me like this, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and his tone became softer unconsciously.
"My lord, Senior Yebai may have expected it, so before the incident, he seriously instructed the three of us that no matter what, we can't tell everyone the specific content of the Zhonglou conversation, and since he is like this, it proves that in his heart, he has long recognized the existence of this person."
"And from another point of view, even if there are really no people with evil intentions in our group, but we have missed something, but for other reasons, we must not tell everyone everything truthfully."
"Why is that?"
Hearing Yi He's words, I couldn't help but ask him rhetorically.
"If there are no evil people among us, then it proves that we are all friends with all sincerity, and we should not know everything about our friends?"
"My lord, you only think about this, but you ignore the complexity of the human heart."
Yihe shook his head, his tone full of maturity that I had never had.
"Even if there are no people with ghosts in our hearts, we can all entrust each other with life and death, but if we talk about today's events, it will inevitably make everyone feel a little estranged in their hearts."
"My lord, you and I and Chun Ting knew that the so-called breakthrough was just a test, but we didn't stop it at the first time, but silently chose to accept it, and secretly observed it on the side, just our actions were enough to make Ling Xuan and Shen Lang feel cold."
"And in fact, it is precisely because of this so-called test that Xue Nan and Qi Zhi will go to that wing room with their strict hearts, and then they were attacked by a mysterious person in that wing, that is to say, the real reason why Xue Nan was attacked today is because of our acquiescence to this so-called test."
"My lord, if everyone knew that the cause of everything tonight was all because of that so-called test, then what do you think everyone would do in their hearts, even if they don't say it?"
