Something was wrong...
Why was Chen Yu a team leader?
According to the intelligence the organization had received, this trial in the Black Mist Marsh involved new disciples who had joined the Inner Sect within the past three years, along with two team leaders, for a total of fifty-five people.
The two known team leaders were Xiao Lei, the True Disciple of Elder Wu of the Inner Sect, and the eldest disciple of Elder Yun of the Poison Path.
The woman who had explained the rules earlier was Xiao Lei.
Then didn't that mean Chen Yu was the Poison Path elder's eldest disciple?
Impossible. Xiang Baiwei immediately rejected that answer.
Although Elder Yun was a recluse, and his Nine-Bend Peak was relatively isolated, leaving the organization with little information about him...
One thing remained certain: Chen Yu had only entered the Inner Sect a few months ago. Even if he had been fortunate enough to become a disciple of Elder Yun, who had not accepted anyone new for years, he could not possibly have become the eldest disciple in just a few short months.
After all, the cultivation Chen Yu currently displayed was only at the qi refining seventh layer.
I've spoken with Chen Yu about the Dao Sect Inner Sect before. He knows perfectly well that drawing too much attention there will only invite disaster.
Could the eldest disciple of Nine-Bend Peak have been held up and sent Chen Yu in his place? No, Chen Yu is only a new disciple. Even if he came, it should be as a participant in the trial, not a team leader.
No matter how she thought about it, she could not make sense of it.
Watching Chen Yu standing beside Xiao Lei up ahead, Xiang Baiwei's eyes filled with confusion.
