Chapter 50: A Crime Added

On the way back, Zhuge Tianxin discussed some combat techniques with Zhuge Xun and the others, especially focusing on the coordination with Zhuge Linglong, which Zhuge Tianxin talked about the most. Zhuge Xun and the others gradually felt that Zhuge Linglong's role in battle was very significant; if they coordinated with her, they would exert even greater power. Therefore, along the way, Zhuge Xun and the others listened very seriously to Zhuge Tianxin's explanations and even conducted coordination drills with Zhuge Linglong, with Zhuge Tianxin as the target. During the drills, they discovered that with Zhuge Linglong's coordination, they could basically fight to a draw with Zhuge Tianxin. Even later, as they became more proficient in their coordination and Zhuge Linglong became more familiar with the rhythm of the battlefield, they faintly felt they could suppress Zhuge Tianxin. This made them feel it was absolutely incredible. One must know that in their minds, Zhuge Tianxin was an insurmountable mountain. Now, they were actually able to fight to a draw with Zhuge Tianxin and even faintly suppress him—this was something they hadn't dared to imagine. Therefore, they were all very excited. Of course, Zhuge Tianxin had not entered that state of explosive strength; otherwise, Zhuge Xun and the others would have had no chance at all. Gradually, Zhuge Xun and the others wanted to know what level they could reach without Zhuge Linglong, so they formed a small team themselves to confront Zhuge Tianxin. The result was that although it took some effort, they were all broken through by Zhuge Tianxin; if it were a real battlefield, they would have been completely wiped out. This made Zhuge Xun and the others realize even more how much Zhuge Linglong's role meant to them.

The group exchanged ideas and discussed, and slowly they returned to the place where they had set up camp. However, when others saw them return, they acted differently than before. Others seemed to be discussing something, and at the same time, when they saw Zhuge Tianxin and the others return, they immediately stopped discussing, then scattered or moved away from Zhuge Tianxin and the others.

"What's going on? Why has it become like this since we went hunting and came back?" Zhuge Xun was very confused.

"Everyone, go back and rest for a while. We'll talk about other things after resting." At this moment, Zhuge Tianxin suddenly said, and then walked toward the tent where he rested. After arriving at his tent, Zhuge Tianxin packed up his things and carried them on his body, finally picking up the pair of Flying Sky Pig thigh bones that had been placed on the ground, and slowly walked out of the tent.

"Zhuge Tianxin, do you know your crime?" Just as he walked out of the tent, Zhuge Tianxin heard Zhuge Tao's arrogant voice.

"Sigh, narrow-minded people can never tolerate others in their eyes, let alone those stronger than themselves. Before, you shamelessly took the blade I discovered for yourself when I was physically weak after defeating the Flying Sky Pig. Now that I have become stronger, you have designed a scheme to frame me, wanting to drive me away to increase your own sense of existence and gain Linglong's attention. Do you really think that no one knew when you two were plotting that day? A person like you, who is selfish, narrow-minded, yet hypocritical, is here playing to the gallery. I really don't know how your face can be so thick." After hearing Zhuge Tao's arrogant words, Zhuge Tianxin said calmly, as if looking at a clown. After Zhuge Tianxin finished these words, everyone else felt very surprised and looked at Zhuge Tao with disbelief, wanting him to give an answer, but Zhuge Tao did not refute anything, nor could he refute it.

Subsequently, Zhuge Tianxin turned to Zhuge Zhan and said: "You are Linglong's big brother. I don't want to say much, I just want to remind you of one thing: are you really what you want in your heart?"

"Hmph, saying so much is useless. No matter how much you say, it cannot change the crime you have committed." At this moment, Zhuge Tao roared loudly.

"I would like to hear how you frame me with those groundless charges." Zhuge Tianxin still calmly looked at Zhuge Tao with the expression of watching a clown perform, and then said slowly.

"You are a traitor. You are a traitor planted among us by certain people in this space." Zhuge Tao roared again.

"You say I am a traitor. Do you have any evidence?" Zhuge Tianxin still had that same expression.

"Hmph, do you really think I would say you are a traitor without evidence? When you first came in, you were just a nobody, but after we split up to search for the Flying Sky Pig and returned, your strength suddenly became very powerful. Then, when fighting the berserk Flying Sky Pig, you let us leave while you stayed behind, and then your strength skyrocketed again. If you didn't have some agreement or cooperation with the people in this space, how could your strength skyrocket to such a degree? Also, before the Blood-Thirsty Howling Moon Wolf attacked us, you said you went to scout, but the moment you left, the Blood-Thirsty Howling Moon Wolf launched an attack on us, yet you arrived late, appearing only at the very last moment. Do you dare to say that the Blood-Thirsty Howling Moon Wolf's attack wasn't arranged by you?" Zhuge Tao said.

"Just based on these deductions of yours, you say I am a traitor. Don't you find it ridiculous?" Zhuge Tianxin still said calmly.

"Hmph, isn't this enough? Then tell me why your strength improved so much while ours didn't? Why is it that the one whose strength skyrocketed is you, not Zhuge Nan, not Zhuge Xun, not Zhuge Song, not Zhuge Ding, but you? Could it be that you are better than all of us?" Zhuge Tao said.

"And then? Is there anything else?" Zhuge Tianxin said.

"Hmph, do you think everything you do is seamless? Zhuge Song, Zhuge Nan, tell everyone what you saw Zhuge Tianxin do!" Zhuge Tao said, then turned his head and shouted at Zhuge Song and Zhuge Nan.

"Before the Blood-Thirsty Howling Moon Wolf attacked us, I inadvertently saw Zhuge Tianxin sneakily meeting with someone. It seemed they said something, and then that person disappeared into thin air. Finally, Zhuge Tianxin also left, and not long after, we were attacked by the Blood-Thirsty Howling Moon Wolf," Zhuge Nan stood out and said.

"Hmph, Zhuge Tianxin, what else do you have to say for yourself?" Zhuge Tao pressured him.

Hearing what Zhuge Nan said, Zhuge Tianxin felt very confused. How could Zhuge Nan have discovered his conversation with Seeing Qing Xuan'er? So he silently communicated with Seeing Qing Xuan'er in his heart. However, he did not notice that his confused expression and frown while communicating with Seeing Qing Xuan'er were seen by Zhuge Tao. And Zhuge Tao would not let go of such an opportunity to frame him, so he shouted: "Look, he has nothing to say! Zhuge Song, tell us what you discovered!"

"This is what I discovered when I went hunting with Zhuge Tianxin this time. I found that Zhuge Tianxin would sometimes talk to himself, as if he were talking to someone. So I think he was discussing the next step of the plan with his accomplice," Zhuge Song said.

"Zhuge Tianxin, what else do you have to say?" Zhuge Tao questioned loudly at this time.

"A crime added," Zhuge Tianxin said calmly. ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
