Li Hu laughed in a porcelain-like delicate voice, “That’s always how the leader of our gang operates!”
The two discussed their plans a bit.
Mainly, it was Li Hu revealing about the plan after all, there wasn’t much Zhao Yu could do except to drag the king-level monsters around on causing chaos.
And that was exactly what Li Hu needed, a classic case of borrowing the tiger’s fierceness, using the king-level monsters’ power to achieve their goals.
After leaving Wang Feng Valley, Sun Yi Fan did not dare to delay and hurried back to the main forces’ camp.
Upon his return, Ji Wu Shuang and other members immediately gathered to inquire about the situation.
“It seems Sun Yi Fan has returned…”
“Xiao Long bro, why didn’t they call you over?!”
Sun Jing was dissatisfied, after all, Xiao Long Long represented their academy faction, but now such a major event as Sun Yi Fan’s return was discussed solely by the ancient martial arts faction.
Xiao Xiao Long also felt helpless, with Zhao Yu around, the other party would definitely always having Zhao Yu and him attended together.
With Zhao Yu gone, those from the ancient martial arts faction regarded him even less.
“Sigh, I can only wait for their discussion to end, then go and ask about the situation!”
Xiao Xiao Long sighed deeply, he also felt some resentment, the current situation forced him to lower his head.
Sun Jing did not expect that Xiao Xiao Long, even after becoming the leading figure of their academy faction, still held no status in front of the ancient martial arts faction.
This was completely different when Zhao Yu was around.
When Zhao Yu was there, although he didn’t manage much, he was at least a powerhouse, and people from the ancient martial arts faction respected him.
Unfortunately… Zhao Yu was dead.
Sun Jing felt some regret, since she followed Xiao Xiao Long, there was no other choice but to stick to this path.
On the ancient martial arts faction’s side, with Sun Yi Fan’s narrative, a series of exclamations arose.
“You’re saying, Wang Feng Valley first issued a bounty for Xiao Xiao Long’s head, then canceled it, and even declared that Xiao Xiao Long is their esteemed guest, and anyone who opposes him is opposing Wang Feng Valley?!”
Ji Wu Shuang was not expecting to hear such intelligence from Sun Yi Fan.
“That’s right!”
Sun Yi Fan nodded, “I was also surprised when I first heard it, but such news was indeed circulating there…”
“Could it be a trap?!”
Huo Zhen Wu found it incredible, “Maybe Wang Feng Valley is trying to lure us out, actually wanting to catch us all in one go?!”
“Deception?!”
Someone raised an objection, “Given our strength, is the Valley really going to make such a big fuss?!”
“Moreover…”
“I remember, hasn’t Xiao Long Long been staying with us these past few days?!”
“Yes, he hasn’t gone out, how could he have been wanted and then suddenly become esteemed guests of Wang Feng Valley?!”
Sun Yi Fan also shared his speculation, “I suspect Xiao Xiao Long might have some relatives in the Valley. Initially being hunted, it might be related to the Eight Desolations Alliance that Zhao Yu and the others took down…”
“Do you remember?”
“When Xiao Xiao Long went out initially, many people were kidnapped by a bandit group…”
“At that time, some were captured, revealing quite a bit of information, which probably included Xiao Xiao Long’s name…”
“Maybe, the Eight Desolations Alliance didn’t know our specific situation, only knew Xiao Xiao Long’s name, so they issued a bounty for him as a representative…”
“Who knew there must be someone powerful related to Xiao Xiao Long, most likely one of his relatives in reality, who, upon hearing the name, had the bounty withdrawn…”
This speculation gained acceptance from many, but someone were finding it too absurd, suggesting the esteemed guest narrative sounded more like a trap.
“The truth of the matter, we’ll know if we just call Xiao Xiao Long over and ask!”
Soon, someone went to convey the message, calling Xiao Xiao Long over.
Upon his arrival, Huo Zhen Wu asked quickly, “Xiao Xiao Long, do you have relatives who have also arrived here?!”
“Huh?!”
Xiao Xiao Long was startled, not understanding and shook his head, saying, “No, our teaching building was teleported here, bringing teachers and students, as you all know…”
Ji Wu Shuang rolled her eyes, saying, “Asking a direct question like that, what could you find out?!”
She took her turn “Do you have any relatives who disappeared within the past year?!”
The others also realized Huo Zhen Wu’s question was a bit foolish.
The people from Wang Feng Valley obviously arrived earlier than them, having come in several months ago.
“Disappeared?!”
After recalling for a moment, Xiao Xiao Long still shook his head, saying, “I’m not too sure about this, I only communicate with my family once a month…”
“As for relatives, we barely have any contact, seeing them once a year would be considered good…”
Hearing this, everyone has more questions in their head now.
Ji Wu Shuang thought briefly, “Then, in your last conversation with your family, did you hear anything about your relatives were disappearing?!”
“No, I don���t have such an impression, probably not!” Xiao Xiao Long was also somewhat uncertain.
As the conversation ended, everyone fell into thought.
“So, this is a trap?!”
“What else could it be, if not Xiao Xiao Long’s relatives, why would they bother doing such a thing?!”
Listening to everyone’s discussion, Xiao Xiao Long was confused but didn’t ask further, believing that he would be informed when necessary..
