My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

But that new-style celestial master, Zhuge Guangling, was actually able to use magic and escape successfully?
Isn't this new school of magic a bit too powerful?
If they really faced those lunatics, could they protect themselves?

Black Impermanence's face was grim. He took a deep breath and said, "There is a traitor among you!"

These words were like a ladle of water poured into a boiling oil pan, causing it to explode and crackle.

Everyone protested that they were not traitors.

"I was standing right here, how could I be a traitor? Besides, I don't have that kind of ability!"

"Black Impermanence, are you mistaken? We're all old-fashioned people here, how could there be a traitor?"

"But everyone just ran over normally without doing anything unusual, and no one used any explosive tags. So who could be the traitor?"

"We have a traitor on our side, doesn't that mean we could be assassinated at any moment? We need to find that traitor right now!"

"Everyone, don't panic. Let's hear what Mr. Black Impermanence has to say. The other teachers haven't expressed their opinions yet either."

Black Impermanence said to Little Koi and his group, "The one who caused the explosion was one of your own people. They probably got wind of it beforehand and knew that Zhuge Guangling had been captured. Then they colluded from the inside and outside, using the opportunity of diverting attention to give the other side a chance to cast a spell, so that they could escape smoothly. Did anyone go to the warehouse in the back just now?"

The atmosphere instantly turned cold at Hei Wuchang's question.

Five students hesitated before raising their hands.

Han San glanced at Zhao Rusong discreetly, but Zhao Rusong showed no fear and also raised his hand.

These five students are all old-school Taoist masters, and each of them comes from a family with a long tradition of learning and has a lineage to carry on.

Black Impermanence's gaze swept across their faces, ordering each of them to stand up and explain.

The first to speak was Zhang, a Taoist priest from the Taishan Sect: "I went to the back warehouse to help Manager Zhang retrieve something, and it was just a coincidence. It was not premeditated at all. Going to the warehouse was a spur-of-the-moment decision!"

Another descendant from a branch of Maoshan also stepped forward: "I couldn't possibly be an inside agent. I went to the back because I needed to go back to my dormitory to change clothes. I accidentally got a minor injury while studying, and the blood stained my clothes. I was just passing by the warehouse and didn't go inside at all. Besides, I don't have the ability to create explosive talismans and cause such a big explosion. You know, I don't have that kind of ability."

These words were so honest that everyone present couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Another person stepped forward: "I could not possibly be the mole. I went there with Zhao Rusong. We walked side by side the whole time, and we can both testify to that. We just passed by the warehouse and didn't get close at all. How could we have had a chance to do anything?"

Zhao Rusong stepped forward, nodded, and calmly said to everyone, "We can both vouch for each other; there was indeed no opportunity to tamper with things."

Everyone looked at each other, and only one person remained silent.

The last one was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Taoist priest from the Chunyang Sect. Under the gaze of everyone, his face turned bright red: "I couldn't possibly be a traitor! I went to the warehouse simply because I had run out of talismans and wanted to get some more. I reported this to my teacher!"

But the suspicious gazes of the crowd still fell on him. Zhao Rusong stared at him and finally spoke: "I remember that your Chunyang Sect is quite good at drawing talismans, especially explosive talismans."

The Taoist priest, Chunyang, trembled with rage, pointing at Zhao Rusong and cursing, "Stop throwing mud at me! Aren't you all good at drawing talismans too? What I'm good at is none of your business! I would never be a spy! Why would I be a beast instead of a decent person?" Zhao Rusong raised an eyebrow, indicating that he was just making a reasonable guess and had no other intentions, telling him not to get so agitated, otherwise being too irritable would make him seem guilty.

The traitor couldn't be found anytime soon, and everyone was getting impatient. Zhuge Guangming was preoccupied with his cousin's affairs and was completely distracted.

In the end, the noisy discussion failed to reach a conclusion, so Li Zixuan stepped forward and told everyone to go back to the classroom to rest. They would stay in the classroom on the second floor tonight, keeping an eye on each other, and reporting any suspected cases immediately.

Afterwards, Xiao Jinli and the others held a short meeting in the rest room downstairs from the shop.

A barrier was set up in the rest room to prevent eavesdropping.

Store Manager Zhang also arrived, and the group of people all had solemn expressions.

"Things are much more serious than we thought; those spies have infiltrated here. What do we do next? Do you have any countermeasures?" Zhang Xiaoming looked at them with a serious expression.

The little koi frowned, and could only sigh in the end: "The situation is so complicated now, what can I do? That person is in the human world now, and can't possibly have time to help us. This time, we can only rely on ourselves."

"If Mr. Zhang were here, that would be great," Chen Anshui said subconsciously.

Li Zixuan sighed, "Mr. Zhang has his own things to do. Besides, we all need to grow. We can't just ask Mr. Zhang for help every time we encounter a problem. Otherwise, if Mr. Zhang treats us like apprentices and we perform so poorly, wouldn't that be embarrassing for him?"

Han San then spoke up, "Actually, I've always had a suspect in my mind, but I don't have solid evidence, and people probably wouldn't believe me if I said it, so I didn't say it in public just now."

All eyes turned to him. Little Koi, with her hands on the table, leaned over and grabbed his collar: "Tell me, tell me, who do you suspect?"

"I suspect Zhao Rusong," Han San said calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, recalling Zhao Rusong's behavior since arriving here. They exchanged glances, all conveying the same meaning: It's unlikely, isn't it?
Zhao Rusong was among the top-tier Celestial Masters of the old school, and his family was also very powerful, making them one of the leaders of the righteous sects. A leader of the righteous sects suspected of being a traitor? What a chilling joke!

Han San could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions.

The little koi hesitated and said, "That guy may be arrogant, but he's a man of his word. He probably wouldn't do something like that, right?"

Zhao Rusong's behavior these past few days has been like that of a stubborn young man, spouting all sorts of arrogant words but not actually doing anything out of line.

It was from these actions that Xiao Jinli realized the other party was just a stubborn young man.

Little Koi finds it hard to accept that this young man is now being called a traitor.

"Yeah, that guy may have a foul mouth, but when classmates ask him questions, he'll make a few sarcastic remarks, but he'll still patiently explain in the end. Overall, he's just a low-EQ, arrogant guy. This kind of person has no potential to be a mole."

A hidden spy must be a person with high emotional intelligence and a shrewd ability to navigate social situations. Zhao Rusong seems completely unrelated to being an internal traitor.

"It's precisely because you think this way that he was able to easily clear his name. Haven't you considered that everything he did before might have been a deliberate attempt to create a persona, making everyone think he's straightforward and lacks social skills?" Han San raised his suspicions. (End of Chapter)
