Zhou Xuan had already left the Lu family. He was now sitting in a taxi heading back to the Lu residence.
However, Luo Changying's words from earlier were still echoing in his mind.
"Lu family, Li family!"
"Who among you is the traitor?"
Gazing at the scenery flashing by the window, Zhou Xuan's eyes lacked much spirit.
Things were far more complicated than he had imagined. If he were to follow his heart, he would naturally lean towards the Li family being the traitor, because he saw the kindness shown to him by the Lu family, both by Old Master Lu and Lu Ling'er.
Lu Ling'er, to say the least, had been his childhood sweetheart, innocent and pure. Now that he knew of their arranged marriage, in Zhou Xuan's heart, she was already his intended wife.
As for Old Master Lu, not only was he willing to betroth Lu Ling'er to him, but he also promised to lend the Lu family's full strength to help him seek revenge.
By all accounts, this did not seem like the behavior of a traitor.
But what if?
What if all of this was an act put on by Old Master Lu?
If that were the case, how deep would his schemes run?
Although Zhou Xuan was not a conspiracy theorist, it was still wise to guard against deceit. He still had the blood feud of the Zhou family to avenge, so Zhou Xuan could not place himself in danger.
However, on the other hand, could the words of the Luo family be trusted?
What if Luo Changying had discovered something when he was asking him questions earlier and deliberately said that, intending to disrupt his relationship with the Lu family to achieve some ulterior motive?
Even more so, it was possible that they themselves were the traitors, as the tactic of the guilty crying "Stop thief!" was not uncommon.
After much thought, Zhou Xuan's mind was still without any clues. There were still too few leads.
He needed to wait for the people from the Heavenly Dao Martial Hall to investigate further before he could confirm anything!
Driving all the way back to the Lu residence, since the matter was not yet confirmed, Zhou Xuan did not know what attitude he should adopt when facing the Lu family.
Therefore, upon returning to the Lu family home, Zhou Xuan lied to Lu Ling'er, claiming he had some insights and needed to cultivate, and then shut himself in his room, refusing to see anyone.
It wasn't until three days later, in the evening, as Zhou Xuan was breathing in and out, that he suddenly seemed to sense something, opened his eyes, and looked towards the ceiling.
"Xie Fengyi, I know it's you. Don't try to conceal your presence from me!"
After Zhou Xuan spoke, there was no other movement around him, as if his words were just his imagination.
But Zhou Xuan didn't think so; he continued to stare at the ceiling, silent.
"Alas, how boring!"
"I am the foremost expert among the younger generation of the Heavenly Dao Martial Hall. My master himself praises my techniques for concealing and absorbing energy. How is it that in front of you, a monster, it has no effect at all?"
"What exactly have you been eating to grow like this?"
"I should just find an expert to drag you into a lab and slice you up for research!"
A moment later, a voice slowly appeared in Zhou Xuan's room.
Zhou Xuan calmly turned his head to look, and saw Xie Fengyi's figure slowly appearing in his room.
"Your master's martial arts aren't even as good as mine. If he praises you, it doesn't mean I can't discover you!"
"As for slicing me up for research, you'll have to defeat me first!"
"Alright, enough with the nonsense!"
"You're here this time because you've found something, haven't you!"
Zhou Xuan looked at Xie Fengyi and said calmly.
"Yes, what you wanted is in this envelope. However, before I left, my master asked me to give you a message!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Xie Fengyi slowly took out an envelope from his embrace and handed it to Zhou Xuan, then continued speaking.
"He said for you to think carefully before deciding whether to read the contents, after all, the people involved in this are not just anyone..."
"Hey, hey, hey, you fellow, at least listen to me finish speaking before you open it!"
"You make me look so silly!"
Xie Fengyi was earnestly relaying his master's words to Zhou Xuan, but when he turned his head, he realized that Zhou Xuan wasn't listening to him at all and had already opened the envelope to examine its contents.
"It seems the Heavenly Dao Martial Hall also couldn't find out who the traitor behind it all is?"
A moment later, Zhou Xuan put away the envelope and muttered to himself.
The contents of this letter were essentially no different from what Luo Changying had told him yesterday.
Besides confirming the identity of the perpetrators from the Wang and Zhao families for Zhou Xuan once more, the letter also vaguely mentioned that the Zhou family might have been betrayed back then.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xuan already knew all this information, so the arrival of this letter seemed to have no impact.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you not satisfied with the information found?"
"If that's the case, I can go back and tell my master to increase the effort!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan's expression, Xie Fengyi on the side asked.
"No, I was just thinking about something else!"
"Please thank your master for me when you go back. Of course, if you can find any other information in the future, please help deliver it to me!"
"This isn't free. If your Heavenly Dao Martial Hall needs my help in the future, I will also offer assistance!"
Looking at Xie Fengyi, Zhou Xuan sincerely proposed cooperation. Although the information sent by the Heavenly Dao Martial Hall seemed to have no effect this time.
However, the other party was, after all, a leading power in Cangyun City and had a dedicated intelligence agency.
It would undoubtedly be much faster to gather information in the future if they worked together than if he worked alone.
Therefore, Zhou Xuan proposed the same terms as Liu Changying, as their relationship was not deep.
If he wanted others to help him in the future, Zhou Xuan knew he couldn't expect them to do so for free!
"Okay, I will relay your words to my master!"
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"
"Yes, take care!"
After their conversation ended, Xie Fengyi vanished through Zhou Xuan's window in a flash.
After Zhou Xuan sensed Xie Fengyi's presence completely disappear from his surroundings, he also turned and walked out of the room. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Although the traitor still couldn't be determined, Zhou Xuan couldn't stay holed up in the Lu family forever.
He had already decided to commence his revenge plan against the Wang and Zhao families starting tomorrow.
Since the traitor couldn't be dealt with for the time being, he would start with these two families.
Once these two families were dealt with, Zhou Xuan believed the traitor would not be able to hold back any longer.
"Brother Xuan, you're out!"
"You've been in your room for several days. If you didn't come out soon, I would have worried that something happened to you!"
As soon as Zhou Xuan walked out of his room, he ran into Lu Ling'er, who was about to come and find him.
Looking at the pure and adorable Lu Ling'er before him, Zhou Xuan smiled slightly and gently stroked her little head.
Although he didn't know if the Lu family was the traitor, Zhou Xuan believed that at least this girl, Lu Ling'er, would not act against him.
Since that was the case, why should he dwell on so many things?
Accepting what fate brings, Zhou Xuan believed that the truth would eventually come to light!
