The moment Zhou Zhen spoke, everyone's gaze sharpened as they reassessed Lu Ming. The more they thought about it, the more reasonable Zhou Zhen's words seemed.
Lei Wanchun opened his eyes, his gaze flickering as he prepared to chime in. But remembering what had happened earlier, he swallowed the words that had reached his lips. Better to watch and see what happened first!
Feng Buping's expression shifted unpredictably as he looked at Lu Ming.
"Is this the spy?"
He voiced what Zhou Zhen had left unsaid, stirring the suspicions in everyone's minds.
If Lu Ming was a spy, then by drawing him out and forcing him to reveal his blade intent today, Feng Buping had actually rendered a great service!
Everyone had gathered here to find the spy among the many experts. At this point, the marriage alliance no longer mattered. What mattered was whether Lu Ming was a spy!
From the crowd, Liu Feilong suddenly spoke. "But he didn't take part in the Genius Bait plan, so he didn't know the details. He didn't even know the ambush site was Bitter Bamboo Creek. How could he be a spy?"
Everyone was taken aback. That was true. Even the ten geniuses hadn't learned their destination until they reached Bitter Bamboo Creek, let alone the exact location.
Only Wei Jinlin furrowed his brow. Before setting out, he had told Lu Ming that the destination was Bitter Bamboo Creek, so he could carry out the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's mission without worry.
He alone knew that Lu Ming had indeed known the destination, Bitter Bamboo Creek, in advance. In that case, there was certainly something suspicious about Lu Ming.
He didn't speak right away. Instead, he studied the experts, taking in every expression.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the hall grew heavy.
