The group continued walking through the darkness toward the unknown depths.
This time, however, Zhao Qingxiao silently followed close behind the captain.
In the darkness, Ye Junhan gave him a cool glance but said nothing. In the end, it was Zhao Qingxiao who couldn't hold back. He quietly put up a Spirit Barrier and spoke. "Mr. Ye, that person just now..."
"You've guessed?" Ye Junhan's steps faltered slightly. "After we get back... don't tell Gu Xi."
Zhao Qingxiao fell silent for a moment. He hadn't been entirely sure about the person's identity before, but now that Mr. Ye had said that, he was certain.
'It's someone from the Gu Family, and someone very close to Gu Xi.'
'In other words, the Gu Family and that figure hiding behind City A really have been in league with each other all along.'
'But that person... they've never shown their true face in public. Even if Gu Xi has the power to defeat them, it's useless if she can't find them.'
