Chapter 37

"Not bad, considered very comprehensively." "However, there is no evidence, just empty speculation." Ning Qingyu nodded with satisfaction, but still suppressed it.

Regarding this, Su Fan did not refute. These were indeed all guesses, without a shred of evidence, even though Ning Qingyu had said before that the person who practiced the Poison Fiend Palm was not only Poison Demon Shangren, but also a mysterious person related to Shaolin.

But who knew if he was dead? Zhou Buyu's death might just be the Poison Demon Shangren who killed him.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, since there is no evidence, we can investigate." Xiong Qingyuan heard this and immediately stood up for his disciple, saying loudly.

Seeing this, Ning Qingyu laughed in anger, but he also knew this guy's personality; he was completely a reckless man, and his brain was full of muscles, so he was too lazy to say more to him.

"If it is truly as Bufan said, then would Shaolin leave evidence? Impossible." Zhou Qingyun said a rare sentence, leaving Xiong Qingyuan with nothing to say.

"However, regardless of whether what Bufan said is true or not, we have to be on guard. Our strength has indeed been increasing over these years, and it is normal for Shaolin to be wary of us, and even making a move in secret is not impossible."

Zhou Qingyun said like an old god. He naturally knew that the Jianghu was a situation of deceit, and many of the righteous path were petty, everything for the sake of benefits.

Even if it were their Five Mountains, although they were united, there was much competition among them internally. And their Huashan Sect, to prevent other four sects from becoming too big, would also suppress them slightly.

So Shaolin making a move, he was not surprised at all.

"Great Elder said it well. However, next, how should our Huashan Sect respond? Bufan, do you have any opinions?"

Ning Qingyu was quite satisfied with Su Fan. Whether it was strength, ability, or insights, they were incomparable to those reckless men of the Huashan Sect.

Seeing Ning Qingyu continue to test him, Su Fan did not have any impatience. After thinking quietly for a moment, he slowly raised his head and said: "Sect Leader, regardless of the outside world, whether Shaolin has a conspiracy or not, the most important thing for us is to enhance our own strength."

"Of course, this may take a long time. The most important thing right now is to find out whether there is a traitor within our Huashan Sect."

"Just as the Sect Leader said before, before Senior Brother descended the mountain, not many people knew he descended the mountain, only the inner sect knew. If it was truly leaked, then this traitor's status is definitely not low."

"If we don't find this traitor, our Huashan Sect will have trouble in the future."

Before, Ning Qingyu said Zhou Buyu's descent news was leaked, and Su Fan's first thought was that the Huashan Sect had a traitor.

Generally speaking, every sect having a traitor was a very normal thing. After all, the Huashan Sect also planted some spies in other sects.

It was just that generally, these planted spies found it very difficult to have any status in other sects.

"Traitor!"

Hearing Su Fan mention a traitor, Ning Qingyu's eyes erupted with ruthless murderous intent. Indeed, if it weren't for this traitor, his eldest disciple would never have died.

So this traitor, no matter what, had to be eliminated. A traitor in the inner sect, and even in a high position—if such a traitor was not removed, their Huashan Sect would never have a day of peace.

"Then, Bufan, do you have any methods?"

After speaking, Ning Qingyu looked at Su Fan with expectation.

Seeing this, Su Fan laughed bitterly: "Sect Leader, regarding this traitor matter, this disciple has no methods."

Su Fan shook his head. Finding a traitor was truly not that easy. Fortunately, Ning Qingyu did not mention the connection between the Poison Fiend Palm and Shaolin in the previous meeting; otherwise, it would probably be even harder to find.

Su Fan felt that this traitor in a high position was very likely related to Shaolin, and even the future Sword-Qi Conflict of the Huashan Sect was very likely related to this traitor.

Because with the current elders of the Sword Sect and Qi Sect, it was impossible for any conflict to occur. Could it be for the position of Sect Leader?

In the original timeline, perhaps it was possible because of Zhou Buyu's sudden death. For the position of Sect Leader, the Sword Sect and Qi Sect, under the instigation of this traitor, perhaps could have had fighting, eventually leading to the Sword-Qi Conflict and the decline of the Huashan Sect.

But now, Su Fan could not let this traitor succeed no matter what.

And to not let the other party succeed, then this Huashan Sect Sect Leader successor must be the consensus choice. Clearly, among the current inner sect second-generation disciples of the Huashan Sect, there was probably no one who could compare to Zhou Buyu in being the consensus choice.

"Since that's the case, then let me do it!"

Su Fan said firmly in his heart.

Regarding Su Fan's answer, Ning Qingyu was not too disappointed. After all, he also knew that this was difficult for the other party; even he had no clue about this matter.

"However, Sect Leader, this disciple has a small suggestion. To find the traitor, the best way is to lure the other party, first narrow the scope, then lure, and slowly search. There will always be a chance to find them."

Su Fan's suggestion made Ning Qingyu's eyes light up, and his expression finally revealed a few smiles: "Haha! Bufan, your suggestion is not bad, very good!"

Regarding Su Fan, Ning Qingyu was satisfied beyond words. It could be said that Su Fan's ability was truly above his eldest disciple Zhou Buyu's.

Zhou Buyu followed him for more than twenty years. Regarding Zhou Buyu, he was quite familiar. Being a dog guarding the city was no problem.

But wanting to lead the Huashan Sect to break through again and walk to the peak, no matter what, was impossible.

However, Su Fan was different. From the fact that he developed such large power in Liaodong in just one short year, one could see Su Fan's extraordinary ability.

Handing the Huashan Sect to him in the future might be able to take it to the next level. Of course, perhaps because of being radical, it might fall into the dust, who knows.

But Ning Qingyu believed that with many elders watching, the former possibility was greater.

So for Su Fan, he was quite satisfied.

"Alright! Bufan, you traveled a long distance, and as soon as you came up the mountain, I brought you here. You are tired enough; go back and rest first."

After a round of testing, Ning Qingyu sent Su Fan away, leaving only Zhou Qingyun behind. Clearly, the two were going to discuss something.

Regarding this, Su Fan did not care and followed Xiong Qingyuan away, returning to his cheap master's residence.

His original room had not moved, and returning to his courtyard, seeing his room cleaned spotlessly, he was also somewhat happy in his heart. Clearly, after Su Fan left, someone still cleaned it every day.

Returning to the courtyard, Su Fan was also somewhat exhausted. After all, the situation was urgent; he galloped on horseback all the way, and upon returning to the mountain, he was dragged to the Sword-Qi Piercing the Heavens Hall. His spirit had always been tense, and now that he relaxed somewhat, he felt somewhat sleepy.

He fell onto the bed and fell asleep.

He slept until noon the next day before waking up.

This sleep was quite comfortable, and after getting up, he felt refreshed.
