Undercover
Murong Sheng was a little uneasy. Looking at him, he pressed, "Can the memories in the Sea of Consciousness be falsified?"
Bi Fan said softly, "It's possible. But only someone incredibly powerful, with profound mastery of Soul Power, could do it."
"That Chu Jie is only in the late Chaos Envoy stage. He couldn't possibly reach that level."
Everyone couldn't help exclaiming, "So he really was an undercover agent in the Heavenly Fire Adventure Group?"
Zheng Shi'an nodded. "Seems so. His dagger skills weren't weak, either. It wouldn't have been easy for me to win that fight."
"But it seemed he was trying to win our trust. He only showed us the Sea of Consciousness, made a few perfunctory feints, and then let himself be defeated."
Bi Fan pressed him, "Did he say anything else?"
"Yes. He told me he knew about our feud with Heavenly Fire and was willing to provide inside information about the Heavenly Fire Adventure Group. Whatever the outcome, he hoped he could help. In a way, it would let him avenge his younger sister."
"Was that all?"
"Mm. That was all."
Yu Bo Yi said gravely, "If what he said is true, he seems like someone we can work with."
Bi Fan nodded, too. Chu Jie wanted to use him to defeat Bai Shan. He hadn't asked for a deal, only expressed a hope. He didn't demand a result, just wanted a chance. Judging by his actions, he seemed worth befriending.
Murong Sheng pressed, "By the way, did he say how he'd get the information to you?"
Zheng Shi'an gave a bitter smile. "He really didn't. Maybe he has his own way."
As they were chatting, there was suddenly a knock at the door. Everyone was startled. Who could be coming at this hour?
