"I won't be happy if the traitor isn't eliminated!" Hu Hai frowned. "Damn it, if I find him, I'll kill him!"
Chen Siyu said, "I'm afraid there are a lot of traitors."
"Sigh …" Hu Hai sighed and looked at Chu Li. "There's nothing we can do about it. It's hard to tell what's in a man's heart. Who knows what they're thinking? They're living well, but they're not satisfied. That's how humans are!"
"They came in with bad intentions," Zheng Gongming said. "It's useless to treat them well … Clan Leader Hu, how do we find the traitor?"
"Check who was on duty that day and interrogate them one by one!" Hu Hai scoffed.
Chen Siyu furrowed her slender eyebrows.
It would hurt their morale and it might not work. If it worked, there would be no traitors. Zheng Gongming stroked his beard.
Zheng Gongming stroked his beard and did not allow it. He was a Dharma protector and these were not part of his job.
Chu Li pondered. "I'll do it … I'll go through it and try to find the traitors."
"It couldn't be better if Young Master Cousin took action!" Hu Hai chuckled and said, "But …"
Master Chen Li's martial arts was great but identifying traitors was not as simple as killing them. No matter how great his martial arts was, he needed to be meticulous and have a deep understanding of his subordinates. He needed to see if their expressions were different from usual. These traitors were treacherous people. It was not easy to make them give themselves away!
Chu Li said, "I'll try."
"How?" Chen Siyu asked softly.
Chu Li said, "Let them come in in groups of ten. Give them some money. It'll calm their hearts."
"That's it?" Chen Siyu asked.
Chu Li said, "Let them tell you their names. Just say a few words."
"… Alright." Chen Siyu nodded slowly.
Hu Hai's eyes widened. He opened his mouth but swallowed his words.
Chu Li turned to look at Hu Hai and Zheng Gongming.
Zheng Gongming stood up and smiled. "Leader, since you have no more questions, let's go back and make arrangements. How about ten taels per person?"
Chen Siyu thought for a while. "There's a difference. Give more to those who perform well. Give less to those who perform well. Stimulate their fighting spirit."
"Hmm, ten taels for those who perform well. Twenty taels for those who perform well. How about that?"
"Very well." Chen Siyu nodded and smiled. "Thank you very much, Guardian Zheng and Clan Leader Hu."
"Leader, it's our fault." Zheng Gongming shook his head and sighed. "Please punish us!"
"No one can do anything if their skills are inferior." Chen Siyu smiled and gently waved her hand. "Guardian Zheng, Clan Leader Hu, please go ahead and make the arrangements. Rest early when you're done. You're exhausted because of me!"
"… Then we'll take our leave first, Young Master Cousin." Hu Hai cupped his fists and left.
Chu Li smiled and gave a fist salute.
There were only three people in the house. Yue'er quietly went outside the house to guard.
Chen Siyu sighed. "I really don't know what to do …"
Chu Li waved his hand. "You should've greeted me earlier! Is everything going well? "
"It's alright, I'm finally able to stand firm." Chen Siyu smiled.
"How rare," Chu Li praised.
It was not easy for Chen Siyu to be able to do this. Even if Hu Hai and the others were convinced that a woman was the leader, the other members might not be convinced. Their opponents would often use this to ridicule them, making them unable to lift their heads.
Chen Siyu shook her head and sighed. She looked tired. "I didn't expect it to be so difficult."
Chu Li said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. After this, everything will be smooth."
"I'm worried that this assassination will not be the last," Chen Siyu said. "My martial arts is not up to standard. It's a fatal weakness."
Chu Li nodded.
In this world, the strong were respected. If one's martial arts was not strong enough, people would not acknowledge it from the bottom of their hearts. It was the same no matter how high one's position was. Otherwise, the imperial court would not be so weak. They needed the help of the House of High Duke to deal with people from the martial arts world.
"Unfortunately, my aptitude is not good enough," Chen Siyu sighed.
Chu Li pondered and did not say anything.
There were only two ways for him to help others improve their martial arts. One was to help them cultivate, and the other was to use the Torso Refinement Pill. It was a slow process that required time. There was no way to achieve instant success.
There was another way, which was to use the Energy Pill. However, this method was too extravagant. No matter how much money he had, it would not be enough.
The Energy Pill was a spirit medicine that was unique to the House of High Duke. It was a unique formula that outsiders did not know about. However, as far as he knew, the spirit medicine needed was not rare. The cost was not high, but it was difficult to make.
It was different from ordinary pills. It required a special method to make it. Ordinary pills only needed to add the herbs according to the proportion, boil it, and finally mix the medicine with honey to make the pill.
The Energy Pill was different. It needed to be added in order. It required meticulous control of the fire. It was extremely difficult to make. Half of it depended on experience and the other half depended on luck. It was almost impossible to cook a dish with the same taste, not to mention brewing medicine.
Now it seemed that if he wanted to develop his power, he would need a lot of Energy Pills. He had to try. He would go back and plant some spirit herbs. He wanted to see if he could use his experience from his past life to analyze the ingredients of the Energy Pill and try to make it himself.
As a physics researcher, it was not difficult to analyze the ingredients of the Energy Pill as long as he made the right tools. The difficult part was the experimental tools.
Chen Siyu said, "No one can help me with martial arts. I will work hard to cultivate."
Chu Li said, "I will think of a way. There are not many masters like this. Don't worry!"
Chen Siyu sighed. There was always a sense of powerlessness. The source of it was that her martial arts was too weak.
Through the Omniscient Mirror, Chu Li saw people entering the Xu Residence in twos and threes. They arrived at the front of the hall and stood there quietly.
It was not luck that the Startling Cloud Association could become the largest association in the Cloud State Town. These people's spirits were far better than ordinary people. They stood silently in front of the hall, exuding a threatening aura.
Xu Anxia came to the outside of the house to report that everyone had gathered. He asked if they should move the silver.
Chen Siyu said, "Let's go to the hall."
She got up. Yue Er quickly came over to help her.
Chen Siyu waved her hand, indicating that there was no need. Her internal injuries were gone. She had regained some strength and could walk steadily. She slowly came to the hall and sat on the armchair.
Next to the armchair, there were a few big boxes opened. Inside were neatly arranged silver ingots. The silver shone dazzlingly.
Chu Li found a remote place to sit. He did not want to reveal himself in front of the association members. He did not want them to know of his existence.
Chen Siyu looked at him. Although she was curious, she knew that Chu Li must have a reason for doing things. She did not ask and waved her hand, "Let them come in in groups of ten."
"Yes." Xu Anxia turned around and gave the order.
Ten people in a group walked into the hall with their heads held high. They proudly announced their names.
Chen Siyu smiled and nodded. She handed the silver ingots to them and waved them away.
She turned her head to look at Chu Li. Chu Li nodded.
Chen Siyu felt relieved and waved her hand again. The next group of ten people came in and announced their names one by one. Chen Siyu smiled and nodded. She looked at them and gave them the silver. She said a few words of encouragement and waved her hand to signal them to leave.
Five hundred and twenty people gave a total of eight thousand taels of silver.
Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror to observe their thoughts.
Anyone would be excited when faced with silver. The emotions hidden in the depths of their heart would come out. Chu Li could tell at a glance who was loyal, who was disloyal, and who was malicious.
After seeing all five hundred and twenty people, Chen Siyu was a little tired. She asked Hu Hai and the others to go back and rest. She felt at ease with Chu Li around.
Hu Hai and the others were very confident in Chu Li's martial arts. They left with some curiosity. How could he tell who was the mole?
Chen Siyu returned to the bedroom. Chu Li handed her a piece of paper. There were ten names written on it.
Chen Siyu frowned as she looked at the list. She looked up and said, "They are all mole?"
