The entire audience fell silent instantly.
Everyone exchanged glances, seeing the shock and suspicion in each other’s eyes.
Zhuang Dian was particularly stunned, lowering his head deeply to hide the panic and unease in his eyes.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman asked in a deep voice, "Sect Master, you are right; the only people who know where you went tonight are those in this room! But the question is, who is the traitor?"
Luo Lanting heard this and scanned the crowd with a steely gaze, and everyone she looked at met her eyes with grim expressions.
After a long while, Luo Lanting softly said, "Indeed, who is the traitor?"
Zhuang Dian breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fortunately!
It seems she still doesn’t know the true situation.
But just then, Xue An, who had been standing to the side, suddenly stepped forward towards her.
At this, all eyes in the room focused on him.
Many people looked astonished, not knowing what this young man in white was about to do!
Just a moment ago, they had returned together.
But everyone had subconsciously ignored Xue An, some even thinking he was an expert recruited by Sect Master Luo Lanting from somewhere.
At this moment.
Xue An looked quietly at Zhuang Dian in front of him, who was trembling all over with her head bowed deeply, and asked calmly, "What are you afraid of?"
"Huh?" Zhuang Dian was stunned and then lifted her head, pretending to be puzzled, and asked, "Afraid? I’m not afraid at all!"
"Aren’t you? Then perhaps I saw it wrong!" Xue An smiled faintly.
But before Zhuang Dian could take a breath, Xue An suddenly said, "But how did I notice that when you saw your Sect Master return, your face not only showed no joy but was full of disappointment instead?"
"No...no way! How could I be disappointed! You must be mistaken!" Zhuang Dian forced a smile and said.
"Really? So, did I mistake it again?" Xue An smiled faintly.
Zhuang Dian’s expression gradually darkened, and she said fiercely, although lacking in confidence, "That’s right, you entirely saw it wrong! And who are you anyway? On what grounds are you questioning me?"
"This gentleman here is the one who saved me from Xing Luodao’s fatal trap. How about it? Do you have any questions?" Luo Lanting, who sometime unknowingly had walked to Xue An’s side, said coldly.
Roar!
The whole room stirred slightly.
No one expected that this young man in white was the one who rescued Luo Lanting.
Zhuang Dian’s heart grew increasingly frantic but still forced a calm smile, "So he is the benefactor who rescued the Sect Master, I’m truly sorry, forgive me for my earlier rudeness!"
Xue An smiled slightly, "No matter! But now you must answer me; what was that disappointment on your face about, or is it that you are the traitor who leaked the information?"
At these words, many people looked at Zhuang Dian with extremely unkind eyes.
Zhuang Dian’s face grew even paler, and she turned to look at Luo Lanting beside her, "Sect Master, I have absolutely done nothing to betray you! I absolutely did not leak your whereabouts this time; you have to trust me...."
Luo Lanting remained calm, merely watching her silently, not speaking.
Seeing Luo Lanting’s reaction, Zhuang Dian’s heart sank gradually and in the end, she stomped her foot resentfully.
"Fine! Since none of you trust me, what’s the point of me staying here? I might as well leave! It saves me from your suspicious gazes!"
With that, she turned around, angrily about to leave.
But just then, a figure suddenly rushed up, blocking Zhuang Dian’s path.
Thud!
Before Zhuang Dian could speak.
This person stabbed her chest with a knife, and blood instantly gushed out, staining the ground beneath her feet.
Zhuang Dian’s mouth instantly gaped open, looking incredulously at the person before her.
