That evening, Xue Ming of Yellow Springs Tower contacted Su Fan again.
"Did you capture someone from the Black Robe Path...?"
Because Song Haodong had been imprisoned by Su Fan, Yellow Springs Tower's intelligence network in Nine Bends Cave had temporarily ground to a halt.
Only after the news spread from Broken Blade Canyon did Yellow Springs Tower receive the intelligence.
"Yeah... Someone from the Black Robe Path happened to be there at the time. I didn't kill him; I just imprisoned him..."
At that moment, Xue Ming knew perfectly well that when Su Fan had reported to him, he had not mentioned this matter. That showed the boy had already lost his trust in him.
This left him scratching his head. If Su Fan lost his trust in Yellow Springs Tower, things would turn ugly.
For that reason, Xue Ming had specifically reported the matter to Yellow Springs Tower's higher-ups.
The higher-ups at Yellow Springs Tower replied that, no matter what method Xue Ming used, he absolutely had to win Su Fan over.
"Evil Bone, don't worry. You're one of our people from Yellow Springs Tower. We'll handle the Black Robe Path..."
That was more like it.
Seeing the message from Xue Ming, Su Fan felt somewhat better.
Although he wasn't afraid of the Black Robe Path's threats, if Yellow Springs Tower stood in front of him and bore the pressure, it would save him a great deal of trouble.
"Forget it. I brought this trouble upon myself. I heard the Black Robe Path is very powerful, so I'd better not cause trouble for the organization..."
Still somewhat uneasy, Su Fan sent another probing message.
"Evil Bone, actually, I'm responsible for this. When I assigned you the mission, I concealed the matter of the Black Robe Path from you.
