Chapter 1045 - Traitor

Sima You Yue reasoned her own thoughts and said, “I’ve learnt some things in the Valley for the past two days, for now, although we had some conflicts with Cloud Cave in the past, but things like that had never happened before.”

Liang Wu Ming nodded, “Indeed.”

“Since it’s like this, then why are there so many forces attacking us?” Sima You Yue continued, “Furthermore, we didn’t make any movements at all, it doesn’t make sense.”

“It’s indeed abrupt.” Dou Bai continued, “But they might take action in the dark.”

“If they sent so many people around Divine Devil Valley, we will be able to notice it.” Ying Bai Chuan continued, “Unless…”

“Unless what?”

“Unless they had intels from members of Divine Devil Valley.” Sima You Yue continued, “Only this way, they can catch us unprepared.”

“You’re saying there’s a spy in the Valley?” Xiao Jing Zhong called out, “Don’t let me catch who it is, otherwise I will definitely…”

“Elder Xiao, don’t get worked up, we’re not sure yet.”

“This matter needs to be checked by somebody.” Liang Wu Ming continued, “If somebody really betrays us, we must make a thorough investigation. Also, those injured disciples need to be healed as soon as possible, those that have yet to come back, ask them not to come back for the time being.”

“Yes, Valley Master.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Other than that, do you guys have anything else to say?”

“Yes…..”

….

After the meeting, Sima You Yue was asked to stay.

“You Yue, the Valley is currently busy, I have a mission for you.” Liang Wu Ming said.

“What is it?” Sima You Yue blinked.

“Since you’re the one who suggested that there is a spy, I need you to investigate this.” Liang Wu Ming said.

“You need me to investigate?” Sima You Yue pointed to herself, “There’s so many people in the Valley, I don’t even know most of them, if you ask me to investigate, isn’t it the same as finding a needle in the haystack?”

“Yes.” Liang Wu Ming nodded.

“…..”

Then, why asked her to investigate?

“Don’t be alarmed, I ask you to investigate so that I can confuse other people. The real investigator will be someone else.” Liang Wu Ming said.

“Valley Master, are you suspecting anybody?” Sima You Yue asked.

“To be honest, no.” Liang Wu Ming continued, “But if he can do that, means that his status in the Valley is up there.”

“So you ask me to investigate for show and that person will think that I’m harmless to him, so he can relax his vigilance.” Sima You Yue continued, “This idea is good. But….”

“But what?” Liang Wu Ming raised his eyebrows.

“I’ve got a better idea.” Sima You Yue said.

“What idea?” Liang Wu Ming questioned.

“The most traditional but also the most effective way.” Sima You Yue continued, “Monitor everyone in the Valley.”

“Monitor everyone?” There are so many people in Divine Devil Valley, it’s not easy to monitor everyone. Also, it will inadvertently alert the spy.” Liang Wu Ming said.

“How many people know about Master bringing back scarlet bees?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Scarlet bees? There shouldn’t be many people who know about this.” Liang Wu Ming continued, “Your master treasured it a lot when he brought it back, although everyone knows that he has scarlet bees, but not many have really seen it. Are you intending to use scarlet bees to monitor those people?”

“Yes.” Sima You Yue continued, “Scarlet bees’ ability to scout for information is strong.”

“That works too.” Liang Wu Ming continued, “Let me know if you have any news.”

“I will.”

“If you need help, get Bai Chuan to help you.”

“Got it.”

Sima You Yue left the meeting room, little Seven just nice was heading out from the other side of the courtyard.

“Yue Yue, are you done with the meeting?” Little Seven ran over and asked.

“Mm, let’s go, I need your help.”

“Need my help?” Little Seven got excited, “What is it?”

“You’ll know soon….”

Sima You Yue brought Little Seven to another side of the mountain top, just as she thought, Little Seven had a strong ability to interact with plants.

“Yue Yue, you asked me to help by interacting with these plants?” Little Seven questioned.

“Not only that, I need you to cover the bees.” Sima You Yue continued. “The smell of plants and bees correspond to each other, with that, even people with high powers wouldn’t find out easily.”

“Orh.” Little Seven nodded, “No problem, leave this to me.”

“Then I’ll release the bees.”

Sima You Yue then released ten thousands of bees and let them fly all into every parts of Divine Devil Valley, many of the scarlet bees hid under the tree leads, with the plant’s smell as cover, it would be hard to find without looking at it carefully.

This was her first time releasing so many scarlets bees to search for information, moreover it was in such a crowded place, without Little Seven’s coveraged, it would be easy for those high powers to find out.

After all this fixed up, they both then went back to the courtyard.

The days after were waiting days, the wounded were waiting to recover, Divine Devil Valley was waiting for news, Sima You Yue was waiting for the spy to take action. But there weren’t any more injured and there wasn’t anyone who communicated with outside, this matter seemed like it faded away.

But she didn’t think it would end that easily.

That night, Sima You Yue was reading a book under the lights and her brain suddenly received news from the scarlet bees and Little Seven also jumped up from bed at the same moment.

“Yue Yue, there’s something.” Little Seven said.

“There’s finally something after waiting for so long.” Sima You Yue kept the book, “Contact Martial Uncle and Senior Brother first, then we’ll go and see who’s the traitor.”

“Yes!”

In the dark night, a black shadow speedily passed through the Valley to a mountain peak. There was someone waiting for him there.

“Elder Seventeen, you make me wait long enough.” A soft voice rang in the dark that gave people goosebump.

“Why dare you here?” Elder Seventeen lowered his face, “People in the Valley are already suspecting that someone is betraying Divine Devil Valley and they are investigating, I will be exposed if you come and look for me now.”

“I know, but you haven’t been giving me intels, I can’t help it.” That person said.

“There’s nothing new that I can give you. They are taking precautionary measures right now and it’s not easy to stir some stuff.” Elder Seventeen said.

“Really, but we’ve gotten another information, that you guys have already fetched all the disciples from outside, why didn’t you inform us on such important information?”

“What?” Elder Seventeen was astonished. “It’s impossible, I’m in charge of contacting those disciples, I did not send out an order for them to come back, how did it…..”

“You really didn’t know?”

“Nothing but facts. Why would I dare to hide it from you.”

“Your family is in our hands, I bet you wouldn’t dare to defy Your Majesty’s order. Since it has come to this, then there’s only one reason.”

“What reason?” Elder Seventeen saw him staring and felt an ominous premonition.
