Chapter 313: Sprouting A Seed Of Doubt

"How do you know about them!?"

Seeing her get agitated, Ye Tian Yun felt a bit amused, however, he didn't fail to notice the low fluctuation from one of the tables at the side.

It was Peak Master Duan, and he too was taken aback by the mention of Sleeper Cells.

'Normal disciples had no idea about it…'

"Normal disciples had no idea about it," Yuan Shuchun spoke the exact words tht were in Peak Master Duan's mind, "How do you know about them?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "That's not the important part, however, do you know that the assassin in the banquet hall was also one of the sleeper cells?"

"What?" Yuan Shuchun frowned, "He never exploded."

"Because he committed suicide. Don't forget that it would take three hours for the disciples to explode, and that time was enough for him to get interrogated, so he had no other choice but to commit suicide."

Xiao Ming interjected, "What are you guys talking about? What are sleeper cells?"

Yuan Shuchun waved at him, "I will explain it to you later."

Then staring at Ye Tian Yun, she asked, "Shu Xian, what do the sleeper cells have to do with your innocence?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Senior Sister, you need to look at it from an unbiased point of view.

"Listen carefully, I am sure by now you already know that those disciples were actually our own disciples, not infiltrators."

"The guy who told you about everything, what also a sleeper cell. But he wasn't the part of the assassination group."

"Oh?" Yuan SHuchun frowned.

Ye Tian Yun gave a slight nod and added, "Also, the people who arranged the sleeper cell assassination, we will be meeting them pretty soon."

"What do you mean?" She asked, "Are you saying they could ambush us?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I don't know what they are planning, But there's a high chance we will be clashing with them."

"How does that have anything to do with your crime?" Xiao Ming asked, "You tried to kill her, and now you're just trying to put blame on others."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I already said it, you will know the truth once this mission is over. Also, those people want me dead more than you, so don't worry about me running away anywhere. The safest place for me right now is the sect, and I am dying to get back there."

Xiao Ming glanced at Yuan Shuchin, "I don't know what you think of this guy, Senior Sister, but I don't think he is trustworthy at all."

Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes, "Are you stupid or what? According to you, what could have been the biggest benefit I could have gotten after assassinating her?"

"Maybe you wanted to take control of heavenly League and go for the Sect Leader position?" Xiao Ming shrugged.

Ye Tian Yun almost facepalmed, "Are you retarded? Did you really think that?"

And looking at Yuan Shuchun's expressionless face, Ye TianYun was sure that this girl must have believed these words.

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "I understand Xiao Ming is retarded, but what happened to you, Senior Sister? Why couldn't you think carefully?"

"In the sect, as a part of the Heavenly League, I was living my best life."

"Suppose you said was my goal. It's not, but let's suppose it was, just for your sake."

"Now, there's no way Heavenly League would remain a thing once Yuan Shuchun is gone. She's the core of the league, and without the core, the league won't exist."

"It will disband on the very next day."

"Also, before you accuse me of scheming for the Sect Leader position, you need to take note of something important - the opponents I will face."

"There' Jun Xie, and like him, about nine other Core Disciples are looking for a chance to become the Sect Leader."

"And where do I stand among them? Nowhere. I am not even a Core disciple."

Yuan Shuchun gave a slight frown when she heard his words.

For the first time, she was wavering and was doubting the truth.

This was enough for Ye Tian Yun. What he needed right now was time and a smooth road to his goal.

As long as he could sprout a seed of doubt within Yuan Shuchun, he would get enough time, and Yuan Shuchun wouldn't order Peak Master to secretly make a move on him.

"Where' Kai Yang?" Ye Tian Yun changed the conversation.

The seed had already sprouted, and it would take time to make a fruit.

Ye Tian Yun was in no rush. Thus he wanted to take their mind on someone else.

"He went outside." Xiao Ming replied, still looking at him with suspicion.

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Is he mute?"

"Hm? What?"

"Is he mute? I never heard him say anything all along the way."

Xiao Ming shrugged, "Maybe. I don't know."

Yuan Shuchun looked at the stairs, "Why isn't Senior Brother Jun Xie here yet?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Most probably still busy with his makeup. You guys should go ahead; we need to leave as soon as Fu Kai and Qing Shen return."

Xiao Ming nodded and stood up.

Yuan Shuchun followed, and both of them went upstairs.

Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh and called the waiter.

"Bring two drinks."

"Yes, master."

"Oh, and listen,"

"Yes, master?"

….

On one of the adjacent tables, Peak Master Duan was frowning while contemplating the words he had just heard from Ye Tian Yun's mouth.

'I need to have a good talk with this Shu Xian... at least once before we get to the city.'

Just then, one of the waiters approached him and put a glass of wine in front of him.

"I didn't ask for anything." He frowned.

The waiter smiled and pointed at the table on the other side of the room.

Peak Master Duan turned his head and saw Ye Tian Yun giving a friendly smile and raising his glass at him.

'This kid….'
