Giving the game away
This was also the most strange thing about Ye Fei. Even if Zhao Shinian was beautiful, her character was very fiery. Why would he force Zhao Shinian to be his concubine, it was certainly not just because of Zhao Shinian's beauty.
To deal with Ye Fei, Zhao Shinian had absolute trust in him at this moment, so she did not conceal anything. Instead, she frowned, "It should be Zheng Wei who discovered my identity. I once fought with him and used the complete devouring sword intent, and because of my father, the devouring sword intent is quite famous in the chaotic sea."
"My mother said that when my father first went to sea, he was only at the first layer of Wu Jun, but in just one year, he became an invincible and powerful person in the Chaotic Ocean. In addition to my father's talent, it is also related to his fortuitous encounter. And this encounter, besides my mother, only I know! "
"— —"
After carefully listening to Zhao Shinian's narration, Ye Fei finally understood why Zheng Wei spent so much effort to forcibly possess Zhao Shinian.
Her beauty was one aspect, but the secret she knew about Zhao Qianjun was Zheng Wei's main purpose. In this way, Ye Fei really could not stay out of the matter. Because even without him, the Zheng family would not let go of the Star Stronghold. In this case, of course he could not leave when Zhao Shinian was in danger.
"Well, nephew, pei, master, I've decided to stay and help you, you can also call me Ye Fei." Ye Fei said very firmly.
"Okay, Uncle Ye, no, it should be Ye Fei!" Zhao Shinian was a little depressed that Ye Fei's uncle was younger than her, so she also addressed Ye Fei as an equal.
After knowing each other's background, Ye Fei and Zhao Shinian also began to trust each other. The two walked out of the woods one after the other, and saw one-eyed and the others were still escorting the awakened Elder Liu.
Seeing Zhao Shinian coming out, Elder Liu's eyes flashed with fear. "Master, please spare my life, I am not a spy, I absolutely did not betray the Star Stronghold!"
"Shut up! Liu, you're usually very petty, and you even ostracized Brother Ye just now. If you're not the spy, who else could it be?! " One-eyed and the others were furious. If it were not for Zhao Shinian's order, they would have killed Elder Liu.
Elder Liu's face was also ashen, but he still desperately screamed, trying to prove his innocence. Zhao Shinian's eyes became incomparably complicated.
"Elder Liu, don't blame me, I know the rules of betraying the star group stronghold." Zhao Shinian could not bear it, but she still raised the heavy sword in her hand.
Elder Liu roared in despair, "Chief, you can kill me, but I'm definitely not a spy!"
Then, he closed his eyes and waited for death.
Zhao Shinian's sword did not strike down, because just as she was about to strike, Ye Fei's hand had already grasped her sword and shook his head at her.
"This Elder Liu shouldn't be a spy!" Ye Fei said in a low voice.
"Ye Fei, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? He just wanted to drive you away, besides him, who else could it be? "It was not only Zhao Shinian who thought so, One-eyed and the others also felt that Elder Liu was the most suspicious.
In fact, before he and Zhao Shinian revealed the truth, Ye Fei also suspected that Elder Liu was a spy, but then he thought carefully and suddenly thought of something, which cleared Elder Liu of his suspicion.
"One-eyed, do you remember at the mine, when the chief was surrounded by Gou Yidao and was about to be caught, what did you do?" Ye Fei did not explain, but asked One-eyed.
"Of course, the chief has done us a great favour, when the chief is in trouble, of course we immediately rushed up and fought with Gou Yidao and the other bastards!" One-eyed exclaimed.
Ye Fei nodded, pacing back and forth, then pointed to another person. "Then do you remember, who was the first to rush up?"
The man immediately said, "Elder Liu was the first to rush up, then we rushed up — — Well, how could it be Elder Liu?"
The man seemed very surprised, One-eyed and the others were also confused.
Only Elder Liu seemed to understand something. He looked at Ye Fei with a complicated expression. He never would have thought that he had rejected Ye Fei at every turn, but in the end it was Ye Fei who saved his life.
"I was actually saved by you again! Chief, I also struggled all the way from a rogue cultivator, I know the difficulties of us rogue cultivators, and know that the Star Cluster Stronghold is the only place for us rogue cultivators to settle down. No matter how muddle-headed I am, I will not betray the chief! "Elder Liu let out a very painful sigh. One-eyed and the others nodded one after another.
In the end, if Elder Liu really was a spy, then at the mine, he should have stood on the side of the Zheng family, and not risked his life to save Zhao Shinian, and was the first to rush up.
Ye Fei also thought of this point, which cleared Elder Liu of suspicion. "But, since the spy is not Elder Liu, then who could it be?"
Ye Fei asked the crowd.
Hearing this, Zhao Shinian's face suddenly changed. Elder Liu suddenly understood something, stood up, and exclaimed in shock: "How is that possible? Apart from me, only Elder Tang knew that the chief would come in person. The others only knew when we set off, it's impossible for them to tell! "
"Don't tell me the spy is Elder Tang!" One-eyed and the others were in disbelief.
Ye Fei looked at everyone strangely: "Who is Elder Tang, does he have a lot of prestige in the Star Cluster Stronghold?"
No one answered Ye Fei's question, instead they all subconsciously looked at Zhao Shinian. Ye Fei also cast an inquiring look at Zhao Shinian.
Zhao Shinian's expression became extremely complicated, it was a kind of shock, disbelief, sadness and disappointment, making her voice hoarse.
"Elder Tang, he, he is my mother's relative, and also the elder who took care of me since I was young. I don't believe that he betrayed me!" Zhao Shinian's face twisted in pain.
Ye Fei also understood this pain very well. It was not good to be betrayed by someone you trust. Not long ago, he had experienced it once, he did not expect it to be Zhao Shinian's turn again.
… …
But understanding was one thing, since Zhao Shinian was Zhao Qianjun's daughter, and Zhao Qianjun had repeatedly helped him, Ye Fei could not bear to see Zhao Shinian fall into danger.
After a moment of silence, seeing that Zhao Shinian's heart was in a mess, Ye Fei could only replace Zhao Shinian and said to Elder Liu: "Elder Liu, although you have been cleared of suspicion, it does not mean that you are not suspicious. Are you willing to completely prove your innocence?"
"Young Master Ye, if there's anything, just tell me, I'm willing to do anything to prove my innocence!" Elder Liu was very sensible.
He had previously ostracized Ye Fei, hoping to drive Ye Fei away, but in the end Ye Fei returned kindness for evil, and had saved his life twice in a row. At this time, if he still went against Ye Fei, then he would have lived like a dog.
Therefore, Elder Liu was very determined to stand on Ye Fei's side.
Ye Fei was also very satisfied with Elder Liu's attitude. "Very good, Elder Liu, then I'll have to trouble you to hurry back now. In this way, as long as Elder Tang is guilty, he will definitely give himself away!"
"Young Master's brilliant plan, I admire it, I will do as Young Master says!" After listening to Ye Fei's words, Elder Liu's eyes lit up, and could not help admiring Ye Fei even more.
Powerful martial artists were very terrifying, but when the martial artist's battle strength was strong, his mind was also incomparably powerful, that was terrifying.
Now Elder Liu was very fearful of Ye Fei, and could no longer have the thought of going against Ye Fei. Hearing Ye Fei's order, he did not even have time to ask Zhao Shinian, and had already hurriedly ran into the Domain Gate and returned to the Starry Stronghold.
Zhao Shinian did not stop him. She was also a smart person, of course she understood that this matter was related to the survival of the Starry Stronghold. She could not act emotionally, and could only let Ye Fei do what he wanted.
"Ye Fei, can we really find the spy like this?" One-eyed and the other Wu Jun were still a little worried.
