Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Zhao Yi’s Whereabouts

After listening to Mo Chengfeng’s explanation, Liu Zixuan’s mouth twitched a few times, and he blurted out: "So, now all the professional thieves across the Star Sea answer to you?"

Mo Chengfeng paused, "You could say that, after all, Master has already announced it through the Thief Sect system, and those disciples below indeed follow my orders."

Damn!

Truly, excellence can be found in any profession! To manage all the world’s thieves, what kind of scene is that!

Wouldn’t that mean if you wanted any treasure, you could have any treasure!

Liu Zixuan gave Mo Chengfeng a thumbs up, "Looks like among the brothers, you’re the one with the highest standing now."

"Brother Xuan, stop teasing me. The Thief Sect is the Thief Sect, and brothers are brothers. I will do my best to help you!" Mo Chengfeng replied with an awkward smile.

"Have you just found out where Zhao Yi is?" Liu Zixuan turned his gaze to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu smiled, "That guy is in the hotel you guys stayed at before. But..."

"But what?" everyone asked.

"But when I calculated his fortune, I found there was a treacherous aura lingering around it. This situation indicates that Zhao Yi is recently surrounded by villains and is easily manipulated," Gu Yu said with a frown, "Logically, practicing the Celestial Spirit Saber Technique should fill him with righteousness, making this kind of thing unlikely!"

"Being manipulated?" Liu Zixuan also frowned, pondering for a while, then suddenly smiled, "In the current turbulent Martial Realm, we can’t trust the people within it. Chengfeng, since you just mentioned that the Thief Sect isn’t participating in the Martial Arts Tournament, could you send a few people over?"

"You mean to secretly observe Zhao Yi’s situation?" Mo Chengfeng asked in a lowered voice.

"Exactly."

"But if Zhao Yi finds out, that wouldn’t be good. After all, we’re all good brothers. If he discovers we’re spying on him..." Gu Yu said with difficulty. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Liu Zixuan waved his hand, "We’ve all known each other for quite some time. Don’t you understand Zhao Yi by now?"

"If he’s being threatened or manipulated by someone, at such a crucial time, would he come to ask for our help? The answer is obviously no. He wouldn’t seek our help because he doesn’t want to complicate matters, and with his introverted personality, he’d think about solving it himself."

"If it were just some minor issue, he’d have easily resolved it and surely come to join us by now. That he still remains at the hotel without seeking us out suggests the matter is quite serious."

Liu Zixuan turned the topic, "Given the current situation, what do you think could be troubling Zhao Yi so much?"

Jiang Yunxuan and the others exchanged glances and answered almost in unison, "Is it the Scattered Sects or the Four Great Clans and Eight Great Powers trying to use him?"

Liu Zixuan nodded, "That’s right, they must have seized Zhao Yi’s weakness. In that case, Zhao Yi would want to handle it himself and not let us help, which would only make things worse. Now that we know, we might as well discreetly resolve Zhao Yi’s issue."

With these words, everyone understood.

Among the brothers, they understood each other too well. When one person encountered trouble, their first thought wouldn’t be to trouble their brothers. Though normally they might, in the present circumstances, they certainly couldn’t.

Because the situation they’re facing is too severe; a slight misstep could lead to utter ruin.

At this time, Zhao Yi wouldn’t ask for their help. If they directly intervened, it would only cause Zhao Yi more distress. As brothers, they should relieve each other’s troubles, helping secretly, which wasn’t difficult for Liu Zixuan and his group.

Moreover, if Zhao Yi really was being threatened over something, doing things discreetly would have a greater impact.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yu suddenly seemed to think of something, quickly picking up three copper coins and casting a fortune, then looked up, "Brother Xuan’s guess was right, Zhao Yi’s trouble this time is pretty serious!"

"Could it be..." Liu Zixuan hesitated.

"It’s his wife, Nannan." Gu Yu sighed, "I deduced through Zhao Yi’s fortune that it’s his marriage line that shows an issue; the marriage line in his fortune refers to his wife. Without surprises, it’s likely someone is using his wife to blackmail him into doing something. This might be against your interests."

"I remembered, Wei Zheng just before leaving said, ’better not regret it’ – he wasn’t talking about regretting not cooperating with them, but about Zhao Yi’s matter." Jiang Yunxuan followed up.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "Then all the more we need to help Zhao Yi. I’m their main target, so naturally I can’t leave here. Check who can go to the Land of the Far North to personally handle things there!"

"I’ll go." Gu Yu smiled, "Coming up, I shouldn’t be much help here. Even though I lack a Cultivation Realm, with my Fortune Telling Skill, rescuing his wife shouldn’t be too problematic."

"But you don’t have any cultivation techniques after all." Liu Zixuan frowned, "The ones threatening Nannan over there, surely they’re skilled experts!"

"I’ll send some brothers from the Thief Sect with Gu Yu; there are a few good hands among them,"

Mo Chengfeng looked at the group. "You all have to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament and will be facing a more challenging situation here; you can’t be further dispersed. As for Zhao Yi’s side, I will also send a few nimble brothers over."

"This is our best option for now." Liu Zixuan patted Mo Chengfeng’s shoulder, "Leave the Zhao Yi situation entirely in your hands."

"Alright!"

"Also, let’s not let Zhao Yi know about this for now. At the Martial Arts Tournament tomorrow, let’s pretend we know nothing and proceed as usual!" Liu Zixuan said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"During the Martial Arts Tournament tomorrow, those on both sides will definitely target us, so be cautious in your responses. We shouldn’t care too much about things like quotas, as we still have two Guiding Orders now." Liu Zixuan said.

"Actually, I don’t think anything will happen at the Martial Arts Tournament. It’s mostly after the tournament, the disputes in the Martial Realm will commence immediately."

Jiang Yunxuan rubbed his forehead, "Or...or..."

Seeing Jiang Yunxuan hesitate, Liu Zixuan immediately waved his hand. "No need, even if we end up becoming enemies with the entire Martial Realm, it would be a test for us. The path of the Martial Artist is inherently one of life and death; we can’t always count on others to help."

He knew Jiang Yunxuan was hinting at requesting aid from the Jiang Family if the situation turned dire.

But, if they constantly relied on others, there would be no room for growth.

Instead of living under someone else’s protection, it’s better to let go, bold and grand, and make a spectacular effort!
