Celestial King: The mole is the Diviner! (Chapters 1927 and 1928 have been revised)
The "Chancellor" clearly did not agree with the "Celestial King's" remarks.
However, perhaps out of respect for the "Tier 4" strength and the "Celestial King's " temperament, or perhaps because he had just been saved by the other party, the Chancellor did not continue to oppose the Celestial King's remarks.
"Perhaps your thoughts are not without merit, but I will still stick to my path... We've come this far, and we're both people who will continue to stick to our own paths."
Chancellor spoke, he slowly rose to his feet.
"I've bothered you long enough—now it's time for me to get back to doing my own thing and walking my own path."
As the Chancellor spoke, he bowed respectfully to the Celestial King.
The Celestial King raised his eyes slightly. "Then Good luck... I hope we can still pass through here next time, and—well, at least I hope you won't block my way."
The Chancellor bowed again, turned and walked towards the window, pushed it open, and jumped from the fourth floor into the rain.
His figure disappeared into the torrential rain. Lin Yu looked in the direction he left, then turned to look at the Celestial King.
You don't seem to like him very much.
Lin Yu said bluntly.
The Celestial King did not deny it. "I hate people who are full of twists and turns, and I also hate people who think they are 'right' and 'just'... That guy is both."
"However, you're quite good at reading people. The last few times I saw you... well, I thought you weren't very social."
Lin Yu shook his head. "Your feeling before was right. I'm not good at reading people's expressions; I just sensed your displeasure with him."
The Celestial King looked at Lin Yu, now in his "Yayu" Lin Yu, and said with a smile, "Such a sensitive nose, such straightforward words, I like you."
Lin Yu pursed his lips. "So, you plan to stay in this room indefinitely?"
The Celestial King nodded. "Yes... because it's not just that old man who needs 'healing' and 'cleansing of his own abnormalities'."
"This is the 'Safe House' built by Brother Jing, with many Formation he set up... enough for me to recuperate peacefully here."
Lin Yu nodded. "That's good... Actually, I noticed that you weren't in very good condition. If the [Item] I gave you causes you trouble or affects your recovery, that wouldn't be good."
As he spoke, Lin Yu took out a black bag from his pocket and placed the [Item] one by one on the table beside him.
The five [Item] were laid out, and Lin Yu said, "However, to be honest, I don't know if these are genuine... After all, I found them by chance, and I was attacked by people from 'Order' once, so I'm not sure if there are any problems with them."
The Celestial King glanced at it. "Let me take a look... Hmm, it seems there's nothing wrong."
"Although I don't recognize that turtle shell [Item] and haven't fought it much head-on, the appearance of these [Item] looks correct, similar to the He Jing Ge posted... The energy fluctuation level also seems to be what a high-level [Item] would have."
"It can't be fake."
The Celestial King then looked at Lin Yu: "You've handed these [Item] to me. What's your next step? Did A'yu give you any tasks?"
Lin Yu shook his head. "No, I'll still be free to do as I please... However, I already have things I want to do."
The Celestial King asked in surprise, "What's going on? Shenzhen is only going to get more and more turbulent and chaotic... Even someone like me, a 'Tier 4' cultivator, has to stay here and quietly recuperate. Do you understand how dangerous it is right now?"
"It's precisely because of the chaos that I have to act... because I can't swallow this," Lin Yu said, a ruthless look appearing on his face, "I want... Revenge on the 'Director'."
"He is a rising star within 'Order,' holding a very important position... Therefore, only in times of chaos like in Shenzhen, Order when even a 'Tier 4' like you is held back, is it possible for me to seek Revenge against him—this is definitely when 'Order's' protection of him is at its weakest, isn't it?"
"If I miss this opportunity, I'll just have to rely on luck and wait to see if I can get matched with him in the same [Instance], but... I hate relying on luck."
"In battle, I can gamble—gamble that I can be faster and more ruthless than my opponent, gamble that I won't die; but before the battle begins, I don't want to gamble... I don't want to gamble that a rabbit will run into a tree stump, a deer will walk into my sight, or a large school of fat fish will swim to my feet—I prefer to Hunter by the scent of blood, to follow the tracks by identifying footprints, I prefer... to find the opportunities myself."
Upon hearing this, the Celestial King clapped his hands. "Well said, that's a really good statement and speech. You're quite the poet... If you survive this, we should become very good friends."
Lin Yu nodded, understanding the Celestial King's unspoken meaning.
She stopped trying to dissuade herself, but she did remind herself again.
This is a dangerous decision that could lead to his "death".
Lin Yu said, "Your friendship is indeed very valuable, and for that reason, I will strive to survive."
"However, this trip isn't just for myself... it's also for the organization."
The Celestial King listened with great interest Underground passage, "Although the 'Director' is indeed quite annoying to us 'Marauders'... his threat isn't actually that great, and to be honest, Brother Jing's attitude towards him is quite ambiguous."
Lin Yu said calmly, "I'm not referring to the benefits of 'eliminating him' itself, but rather... that by tracking and ambushing him, I might be able to uncover some secrets about him."
The Celestial King became even more curious. "A secret?"
"His attack on me was very suspicious... It happened almost exactly after I obtained the 'Benevolent King' [Item]," Lin Yu said in a low voice. "At that time, I didn't even report it to Sister Yu, and no one should have known about it... Even the 'Order' should still think that these [Item] are in the hands of the 'Freedom Alliance'!"
The Celestial King suddenly realized. "Oh, so that's why 'Swordsman' and 'Bifang' prioritized the 'Freedom Alliance' so much! There's more to it than meets the eye!"
Lin Yu fell silent.
The Celestial King's understanding is actually a beautiful misunderstanding...
Clearly, "Celestial King" was unaware that "Order" had now been divided into several "groups" in Shenzhen, and that "Swordsman" and the members of "Night Watcher" were not responsible for the inner area, but were specifically responsible for guarding the outer perimeter.
Those two "Tier 4" units probably haven't updated their intelligence yet and are completely unaware that "Benevolent King's " [Item] has been stolen—after all, they are both "executors," and although they have a high right to know, they might not receive firsthand intelligence from other front lines while carrying out their own missions.
The current emphasis on the "Freedom Alliance" is largely a result of the earlier sabotage of the meeting by an insider.
"So, in a sense, my use of that passage to shift the suspicion of stealing the [Item] onto the 'Freedom Alliance' actually suited the mole's wishes... That way, even if the 'Freedom Alliance' didn't actually do anything in the end, it shows that the mole's judgment at the time was reasonable..."
Lin Yu pondered, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
However, he did not intend to clarify the misunderstanding in the Celestial King's mind.
Lin Yu continued, capitalizing on the other person's misunderstanding, "That's why I think the 'Director' is the problem... He knew my movements almost before anyone else."
The Celestial King stroked his chin and said, "He has a good relationship with the people in the 'Freedom Alliance.' Maybe it was someone from the 'Freedom Alliance' who told him?"
Lin Yu frowned. "I believe I've done a clean job, and even the 'Freedom Alliance' might not have discovered it was me... Therefore, I suspect he has an even more secretive intelligence source, and I want to know who that source is."
"Because I'm worried... what if it's someone from within our 'Marauders,' or even someone close to Sister Yu? After all, many people within the organization know I'm 'on my own accord.'"
"For personal gain, he betrayed my freedom of movement and my observations of the 'Freedom Alliance' creating chaos and causing explosions to the 'Director,' leading him to deduce that I might have obtained the [Item]... This is the most reasonable explanation I can think of, and it's also the conclusion I reached through intuition."
After listening to Lin Yu's idea, the Celestial King snapped his fingers, "That makes sense. I find your intuition quite interesting."
Subsequently, the Celestial King's thoughts expanded further.
"Eh, now that you mention it, I do have some thoughts on the 'Director's' 'information source'... if there really is someone who betrayed you..."
The Celestial King looked at Lin Yu and said seriously, "I think it's very likely to be Brother Jing!"
Lin Yu was stunned when he heard the Celestial King's analysis.
"Brother Jing... Diviner?"
He looked shocked. "Why?"
The Celestial King shrugged. "Who knows... Brother Jing is sometimes like a domino-setter. Sometimes he makes some bizarre arrangements, and after a certain Chain Reaction and a certain amount of time, it has a strange effect. Moreover, he is the most untrustworthy guy among the 'Marauders.' I solemnly suggest that before you reach 'Tier 3,' if you encounter anything very strange or illogical, be wary of Brother Jing as you would be wary of 'Order.'"
"Oh, of course, most of the time Brother Jing is still trustworthy... but my suspicion of him this time isn't entirely unfounded."
As the Celestial King spoke, he twirled his finger around. "Brother Jing isn't here now, he's busy... but I do know about the last thing he did before leaving for the Ten Realms."
"He went to have a private talk with the 'Director' —so it's not impossible that he told the 'Director' about your situation."
The look of shock on Lin Yu's face transformed from performance into genuine shock—though on the surface, it remained completely unchanged.
This emotion Make It Real because Lin Yu realized...
What the Celestial King said casually seems to actually be true.
Because at the time, the "Diviner" did indeed tell the "Director" that... Benevolent King's [Item] had been stolen and had fallen into the hands of the "Marauders".
Only...
"I didn't report this to the 'Diviner' either, did I?"
Lin Yu asked, feigning confusion.
"Who knows? Maybe he consulted a fortune teller," the Celestial King said after a moment's thought. "Or perhaps he overheard A'yu reporting that you were at the scene and deduced that you might be able to get it."
