Chapter 237 Yi Ran Is Prone To Explosion
Chapter 237: Yi Ran, Highly Explosive
When Long Yan shouted out the name of the nemesis in front of everyone, it truly embarrassed Zhang Chi.
Usually, if someone gave him a nickname behind his back, he would pretend not to know anything.
But now, with so many big shots present, and all of them looking very interested, it was truly difficult to handle.
However, when everyone's gaze fell on him, Zhang Chi knew that it was not the time to be coy.
He suppressed the feeling of embarrassment and displayed his calm and composed demeanor, even though he was just a small fry at the moment.
"I already have an idea of who the mole is, but it's not convenient for me to reveal their name at the moment."
Zhang Chi remained as he always was, silent until he made a shocking statement.
Even Gu Youyou, who was used to his various antics, was quite shocked at this moment.
Usually, you're as steady as a rock, so why are you acting so aloof now?
Of course, Zhang Chi's statement was not a lie.
She had witnessed everything Yi Ran had done, and she certainly wouldn't keep it a secret from Zhang Chi afterwards.
So, Zhang Chi did indeed know who the mole was.
But he had no evidence!
How could he prove that Yi Ran was the mole?
The Soul Summoning Banner had been disposed of cleanly, and Zhang Chi himself couldn't serve as a witness.
As a Foundation Building cultivator, if he claimed to have discovered the stealth of a Divine Ability cultivator, he would be laughed at if he said it out loud.
However, Gu Youyou's shock was of no use. Zhang Chi had already said it, causing a commotion in the entire venue, and he had no room for regret.
"Who is it? Why can't you say? Are you afraid of retaliation? Rest assured, if you speak up here, no one will dare to retaliate against you."
Xuan Ming, a Perfected Being, couldn't sit still. This time, the one who suffered the most losses was undoubtedly the Profound Heart Sect. Originally, the Profound Heart Sect could have defended itself, and the River Monster Alliance couldn't possibly defeat the Dragon River Alliance.
The frustration of being overturned from a dominant position made it impossible for the people of the Profound Heart Sect to remain calm.
They had to find the mole and vent their anger.
Miao Yin, another Perfected Being, was worried that Zhang Chi would speak out of turn and quickly made up for him, saying, "Zhang Chi, there's no need to rush. If you only have suspicions but no evidence, it might be better to wait."
This was a reminder for Zhang Chi to be more stable and an explanation to Xuan Ming.
Zhang Chi might know who the mole was, but he didn't have solid evidence. If he spoke out in front of so many people without certainty, it would give the mole a chance to escape.
After all, this was not a joke.
Miao Yin's intention to support Zhang Chi was too obvious, so Xuan Ming couldn't just treat Zhang Chi as an ordinary junior.
But he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It really was an advantage to be good-looking.
Having gained the favor of Miao Yin, Zhang Chi wouldn't have to struggle in this lifetime.
Zhang Chi naturally understood Miao Yin's intention to defend him, but he didn't need defending.
He gave Miao Yin a slight smile, causing Miao Yin to blush and lower her head shyly.
In such a public setting, with so many people present, how could he exchange flirtatious glances with her?
Zhang Chi was just expressing his gratitude, and then he dropped another bomb.
"I only know who one of the moles is, I don't know more than that."
This was also the truth.
In front of a group of big shots, Zhang Chi wouldn't show off his cleverness.
Because he was also good at finding loopholes in others, relying on his years of experience in the industry.
But these old foxes of the Immortal Cultivation World, who knows how many years they had lived, their cultivation was profound, and their experiences were rich. Each one of them was definitely more cunning than him. If he wasn't careful, he might end up in a bad situation.
Therefore, when facing these big shots, Zhang Chi had only one core strategy.
Even the most exquisite lie has its flaws, only sincerity can be flawless.
Zhang Chi said this without any evidence, but no one in the room doubted him.
This is the importance of reputation.
Zhang Chi's actions in the Talisman Treasure Sect Secret Realm, as well as his unwavering support for the Sword Sect and his leading assistance to the Profound Heart Sect, including the evacuation of thousands of civilians...
These actions may not seem beneficial, but they have solidified Zhang Chi's character.
He is a very upright and kind person.
Who would think that such an upright and kind person would lie?
Moreover, he gains no benefit from telling such a lie, and it would only put him in a difficult position.
In a short period of time, without any evidence, the big shots already believe that Zhang Chi knows about a mole, and they believe that there is more than one mole.
This is indeed detrimental to unity. Miao Qin originally wanted to appease everyone and prepare for the enemy, but now it seems that unless they expose the mole first, there is no hope of uniting against the enemy.
"Do you have any plans that require our cooperation?"
Miao Yin thought of this and said it directly.
As long as Zhang Chi says yes, she will be the first to support him.
With her support, her aunt Miao Qin will also support him, which is enough for Zhang Chi to stand firm.
Even if Zhang Chi's plan fails, at most he will lose face, and there won't be any major problems.
Seeing Miao Yin's strong support for Zhang Chi, Long Yan's gaze towards Miao Yin suddenly became somewhat strange.
She didn't know when Zhang Chi and Miao Yin had become so close.
According to reason, Miao Yin is an elder, over two hundred years old, and shouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts about Zhang Chi. But Miao Yin's behavior is indeed too abnormal.
Long Yan's keen intuition made her feel the urge to protect her territory. Although her cultivation level was not high, as a member of the Long Family, her authority was not below Miao Qin's.
Moreover, she was the one who brought Zhang Chi out to work, so she naturally had to provide him with security.
If things go well, Zhang Chi will get the credit.
If things go wrong, she will cover for Zhang Chi.
In the past, Long Yan didn't like to use her identity as the young miss of the Long Family, but now she has realized that there is no need to hold back her own thoughts as long as she is doing the right thing.
If she had realized this earlier, Yin Xun wouldn't have dared to manipulate her so much.
If she wanted to send troops to the four sects downstream, she could have done it, but she was just too foolish.
The past is gone, but it's not too late for her to wake up now.
Seeing Miao Yin fervently supporting Zhang Chi, Long Yan couldn't stand it anymore.
She felt that she had to do something.
While she was still pondering, someone interrupted Zhang Chi's words.
It was Yi Ran, a Perfected Being from the Treasure Weapon Sect.
When Zhang Chi said he knew who the mole was, Yi Ran knew that Zhang Chi was most likely referring to him.
Because when Zhang Chi spoke, his gaze had drifted towards Yi Ran several times.
They had exchanged glances two or three times.
Every time Zhang Chi mentioned the mole, his gaze was fixed on Yi Ran.
Yi Ran had also made eye contact with Zhang Chi, so he naturally understood.
Confirmation through eye contact, you are the right person.
Although Yi Ran didn't know how Zhang Chi knew, the result was clear.
Zhang Chi probably didn't have any evidence, so he didn't dare to directly say his name.
If that's the case, he couldn't hide anymore.
He had to find a way to crush Zhang Chi!
"You keep accusing others of being a mole without producing any evidence. At this critical moment, you baselessly sow suspicion among fellow cultivators. Are you harboring ulterior motives?"
Yi Ran accused indignantly, successfully drawing everyone's attention away.
Zhang Chi, on the other hand, couldn't help but want to laugh. Isn't this self-exposure?
