Miler, who has a system for giving up
Chapter 111 There is a traitor
While waiting for Aunt Yanqin, we continued our in-depth investigation.
As the exploration progresses, some mysteries gradually come to light.
Why would members of the Yan family appear here?
Could there be a traitor within our ranks?
Or is there some other hidden story?
Everyone was filled with questions and decided not to reveal the news for the time being to avoid causing panic.
At this moment, everyone's nerves were on edge, and each person was on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy, fearing that a single misstep would lead to utter ruin.
After all, this is a forbidden area full of unknown risks and dangers!
Entering this mysterious and dangerous realm is no easy feat, as it is subject to numerous strict regulations and restrictions.
First of all, entering the forbidden area is not something anyone can do casually; a series of stringent requirements must be met.
In this way, those who lack the ability or do not meet the requirements are naturally and ruthlessly rejected.
This rule is like a towering, impregnable city wall, standing in front of everyone and becoming an insurmountable obstacle, firmly keeping the vast majority of people outside the forbidden area.
Its sturdiness is awe-inspiring, as if any force attempting to break through it would be instantly shattered without a trace.
Moreover, for those families who are fortunate enough to enter the forbidden area, the number of times they can enter and the number of people they can enter are strictly and clearly limited.
This fixed and rigid arrangement is like an intricately woven net, tightly binding the actions of each family, making the already scarce opportunity to enter even more precious.
After a meticulous and thorough investigation, the results gradually came to light.
Apart from a handful of people in the Yan family, the suspicions against the members of the other four families were gradually cleared, disappearing like dust blown away by the wind.
Thus, the situation took a dramatic turn, and everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to the key figures in the Yan family.
Not long after, a crisp and urgent doorbell rang out from outside the door.
The sound was like a string of lively musical notes, breaking the original tranquility of the room.
Upon hearing this sudden noise, everyone turned to look towards the doorway, wondering who the newcomer was.
"It must be Aunt Yanqin who has arrived!" Qin Yimeng muttered softly.
At this moment, Ye Dongjun, who was sitting on the sofa, frowned slightly, then quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
His steps seemed somewhat hurried, yet they were also steady and elegant.
Each step was filled with anticipation and excitement, as if we were about to welcome not just an ordinary visitor, but a special surprise.
As he reached the door, he paused briefly, took a deep breath, and then gently turned the doorknob. With a creak, the door slowly opened...
"Dongjun, are they all inside?" A clear and melodious voice drifted from the doorway, like the soft song of a nightingale, captivating all who heard it.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a woman in a light purple dress, with a graceful figure, walking slowly towards them. She was Aunt Yanqin.
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of concern showed in her beautiful eyes.
"Yes, everyone's here. Please come in with me," Ye Dongjun, standing by the door, nodded slightly in response.
After speaking, he gently closed the door, then turned around and gestured for her to enter, leading Aunt Yanqin into the room.
Aunt Yanqin walked over slowly. When she saw the pile of documents and several laptops in front of us, she frowned slightly, then found a place to sit down quietly.
With a serious expression, she asked, "You're saying that a traitor has appeared among our five great families, and that he's even using our Yan family's techniques? Do you have any solid evidence?"
Upon hearing this, Han Heng quickly handed a document to Aunt Yan Qin and explained, "This is the relevant evidence we found. In addition, this ring contains traces of the fight at the scene."
After saying that, he carefully placed a spatial ring that had not yet been claimed by an owner in front of Aunt Yanqin.
Aunt Yanqin seemed to find it hard to accept this fact for a while, after all, it involved a member of her own family betraying the family.
But she forced herself to remain calm and reached out to pick up the ring.
After examining it closely, her face turned deathly pale, and she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
The reason is that the ring is indeed undoubtedly a technique of the Yan family, but it was not made by Yan Luo.
You should know that since Yan Luo met me, she has changed her cultivation method, and her techniques have naturally changed as well.
However, the traces of fighting presented here are completely authentic Yan family martial arts.
Aunt Yanqin gently put down the ring, took a deep breath, and began to look through the document.
At this moment, it was clear that her hands, which were gripping the documents, were trembling slightly.
It's not hard to deduce from her reaction that she must already know who this traitor is, and that this person must hold a high position in the family. Otherwise, given Aunt Yanqin's usually calm and composed nature, she would not have been so angry that she lost her composure and trembled all over.
We all stood there quietly, and no one urged her on, as if afraid of disturbing her mind, which was in a state of extreme shock.
We all know that at this moment, she needs enough time and space to process this sudden bad news—there has been a traitor in the family!
However, to everyone's surprise, after only a short period of time required for the cultivation technique to be activated, she had already risen from the ashes like a phoenix.
She slowly raised her head, and that familiar and confident expression reappeared on her face, as if nothing that had happened before had ever affected her in the slightest.
"I already know who this person is."
Her voice was calm as still water, yet it subtly revealed an undeniable firmness: "It is indeed Yan Luo's uncle. Regarding this matter, our family will certainly give you all a satisfactory explanation."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Yanqin stood up without hesitation, bowed deeply to us, and then turned and left. Her graceful figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
I stared in the direction she had gone, my heart filled with confusion and bewilderment.
She turned to look at Han Heng beside her, hoping to get a reasonable explanation from him.
After all, the things Aunt Yanqin said just now sounded like something only they knew the inside story about.
Han Heng noticed my gaze, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Actually, Yan Luo's uncle is not her father's biological brother. His background is quite complicated. As for the more detailed information... I don't know very well either, since I'm usually away from home."
After saying that, he sighed softly, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he too was worried about the complicated situation.
"I know a little about this situation. That uncle was the biological son of Grandpa Yan's best friend! However, fate is always full of drama and unpredictability. Once, when Grandpa Yan and his best friend were out, they encountered an unexpected and serious accident. Tragically, only Grandpa Yan and a few others returned safely, while his best friend passed away. It is said that in that harrowing accident, it was because his best friend risked his life to save Grandpa Yan that he lost his own precious life. And even more unfortunately, besides this son, his best friend had no other relatives. So, out of deep affection for his best friend and an indelible sense of guilt, Grandpa Yan resolutely took his best friend's only son home. You know, at that time, Grandpa Yan himself had not yet become a father." Qin Yimeng said slowly, a trace of emotion and sigh in her eyes.
Ye Dongjun frowned slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, as if a flash of inspiration had crossed his mind.
He muttered to himself, "Could it be that secret realm adventure from before? I remember Grandpa mentioning it to me... It's a place full of mystery and danger!"
According to Ye Dongjun's recollection, his grandfather also participated in that secret realm exploration.
His grandfather had vividly described to him the many wondrous sights in that secret realm, but at the same time, he also emphasized the enormous risks hidden within.
It is said that in that secret realm, there are not only tempting and precious treasures, but also deadly traps and powerful enemies everywhere.
If you are not careful, you may end up in an irretrievable situation.
Fortunately, Ye Dongjun's grandfather knew that greed often brings disaster, so he was not tempted by those alluring treasures.
After realizing the situation was not good, he decisively chose to withdraw early and waited for his companions to return at the outer edge of the secret realm.
At this moment, many speculations arose in my mind: "Could it be that this uncle has learned about his unknown past? Or has he suddenly felt that fate has been too unfair to him, so he harbors resentment and wants to take this opportunity to cause some big trouble?"
Thinking about this, I could no longer suppress my curiosity and blurted out all these questions at once.
"Ugh, I'm not guessing anymore! I've racked my brains but still can't figure it out. It seems like all we can do now is wait. Let's go, let's go, our health is the most important thing. We finally have some free time, and my stomach is starting to rumble uncontrollably. I'm starving!"
Before Qin Yimeng finished speaking, as if by telepathy, my stomach started rumbling loudly in response, seemingly urging us to hurry to that delicious place.
The previously stagnant atmosphere was broken as we headed to a restaurant for a meal.
During the meal, we had a lively discussion about how to go to the Demon Realm to rescue Sikong Feng and Yan Luo.
"After we finish our meal and return, I will ask the chef for details," I said, sipping my soup.
Just then, Yao Ya stepped into the restaurant. Seeing us, she said happily, "Hello, Sister Le! Long time no see! Oh, where are Mr. Sikong and Ms. Yan?"
We told them everything about their disappearance, and Yao Ya suggested that I inform the Administration Bureau. If the Demon Realm really invades, the human world will surely become a living hell, since most of the people here are ordinary people who are powerless to even kill a chicken.
We invited Ya to sit down and dine with us. We ate and talked, and before long, the meal was over.
Ultimately, we believe it is still necessary to inform the Cultivator Management Bureau of this matter, so that we will have enough time to gather all kinds of cultivators when the Demon Realm attacks.
After finding Mr. Li's phone number and dialing it, the call was answered shortly afterward.
"Young Master Lele, what brings you to this old man?" Old Li asked with a solemn expression.
"Elder Li, we have detected the presence of demons, and two of my friends have also gone missing. We should inform everyone of this as soon as possible so that they can take precautions." I briefly explained the situation.
"Alright, I understand. I will inform all cultivators about this as soon as possible. If you go to rescue people, remember to take Li Yi and the others with you, otherwise I won't feel at ease," Elder Li earnestly advised.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Li," I replied.
"Alright then, be careful!" Old Li reminded him again.
“Okay, I will,” I replied.
After hanging up the phone, I fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Yao Ya walked in. She had overheard our conversation and offered to go find Li Yi and the others who were training.
I nodded in agreement.
Yao Ya immediately turned and left to find Li Yi and the others.
After a while, Yao Ya and Li Yi came into the room.
"Sister Le, what happened? Why did you call us so urgently?" Li Yi asked.
“We need to find the entrance and exit of the Demon Realm now. Some of you go to the Administration Bureau to look through the ancient books, while the rest of you come with us to search in possible places.” I briefly explained the situation to them.
“Okay, let’s set off now,” Li Yi said without hesitation.
"Wait, this operation might be very dangerous, you must be careful," I instructed.
"Don't worry, Sister Le, we won't let you down," Li Yi said firmly.
And so, Han Heng, Li Yi, Yao Ya, and I split into four groups and began our respective tasks.
Throughout the journey, everyone remained very quiet, each harboring their own expectations and worries.
Some people might be thinking about how to find the trapped people as soon as possible and start a rescue operation; others might be thinking about how to deal with possible dangerous situations; and still others might just be silently praying that everything goes well.
Meanwhile, I kept observing my surroundings, looking for any potentially useful clues or information.
Although I don't know if we can successfully find the entrance to the Demon Realm, if we don't take proactive measures, the chances of Sikong Feng and Yan Luo surviving will decrease.
