A Divine Arrival
"Han Shanshan said... It was impossible. Either she had been a spy for the Divine Court all along, or she had been won over somewhere along the way. After I left, several departments of the Divine Court did indeed plant quite a few spies. They even resorted to bribery and seduction, winning over many external talents. Fortunately, our own people were as steadfast as an iron fortress. But with me gone for so long, no one could guarantee that this wouldn't succeed. So Shanshan suspected that this was when Qingcheng Ruoxue had been won over. Thinking about it now, her abilities really were far too outstanding." I shook my head with a sigh.
"Exactly. She handled internal affairs in perfect order. Even Hu Qingya, who had followed you for so many years and stayed by your side, might not be her equal. She could serve you so well that she earned your complete trust," Zhao Qian muttered.
I shook my head bitterly. "Hu Qingya excels at gathering and coordinating intelligence."
"Qingcheng Ruoxue is even better. Didn't she obtain intelligence on the Ancient God battleship from the Ancient Immortal Realm? She even knew we would attack the Ancient God battleship and reap the benefits afterward. Now she's taken the new battleship away." Zhao Qian's eyes curved into crescents as she looked at me with a half-smile.
"This... There are always people who excel at certain kinds of special intelligence. For example, if she had been a spy for the Divine Court all along and obtained its core secrets, it would be perfectly normal for her to reveal a little to Shanshan. It's understandable that Hu Qingya was inferior to her." I hurriedly explained.
Zhao Qian only smiled. "So you're saying she really was a spy?"
I sighed.
