Chapter 48: Internal Traitor

"This matter…"

Su Qianqian was stunned, she didn't know how to answer for a while.

The rest of the caravan looked at each other, it seemed that this was the first time that they had heard of this.

Mo Xiu just looked at Su Qianqian and waited for Su Qianqian's answer.

After a while, Su Qianqian got off the Snow Mallow Beast's back, came to Mo Xiu, and whispered, "Young Master Wuji, can we move a step to speak?"

Mo Xiu nodded lightly and asked Yan Ran to wait for a while, and followed Su Qianqian to the side with no one.

After avoiding the crowd, Su Qianqian said, "Young Master Wuji, you should already know who the traitor is, right?"

"I know." Mo Xiu nodded.

Su Qianqian hesitated for a moment before she then asked a little nervously, "Who?"

"Are you sure you want me to tell you?" Mo Xiu asked back.

Su Qian took a deep breath, "Yes."

Mo Xiu replied, "The man next to you, the one named Yang Lin."

"How could it be!" Su Qianqian felt that she had heard it wrong.

After finally recovering from the surprise, she asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"No, you can choose not to believe it." Mo Xiu shook his head slightly.

Su Qianqian frowned and was silent for a while, not knowing whether she accepted the answer, and nodded, "I understand."

After that, the two returned to the team.

"Miss..." Everyone seemed to be a little concerned about the problem of the internal traitors.

Su Qianqian didn't mention it, she just said, "You should all know Young Master Wuji. From today on, he is the deacon of our Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, and he only obeys me. None of you should be disrespectful to him, you hear me?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was immediately surprised.

Although Su Qianqian had invited Mo Xiu to be the deacon of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce on the day before, at that time, Mo Xiu clearly refused, why had he suddenly become the deacon of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce now?

Moreover, this deacon only obeyed Su Qianqian's orders, which was equivalent to bearing the title of a deacon of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce but was actually Su Qianqian's personal deacon. Wasn't this treatment too good?

"Eldest Miss." Yang Lin hurriedly reminded, "It's okay if you want him to join the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, but don't forget that the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce is not yours alone. If can't let him join the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce just because you let him, right? Besides, the deacon of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce requires the approval of half of the elders..."

"Who said that?" Su Qianqian glanced at Yang Lin, "Ordinary deacons do need the approval of half of the elders, but based on my identity, it is okay to recruit a deacon who only obeys my orders. Do you have an opinion on my decision?"

"Don't dare." Yang Lin quickly denied.

Only then did Su Qianqian look back, "This is my decision. The specific appointment will be discussed when I return to Yan Capital."

"..."

Although everyone was quite prejudiced, seeing Su Qianqian's resolute attitude, it was hard to say anything.

After introducing Mo Xiu, Su Qianqian looked at Yan Ran, who was walking with Mo Xiu, and asked in confusion, "This is...?"

"Just call me Yi'er." Yan Ran said nonsense and did not say that she was Mo Xiu's maid.

Su Qianqian didn't really care, after all, she was optimistic about Mo Xiu, as long as she could tie Mo Xiu together, nothing else was important.

After introducing Mo Xiu and Yan Ran, Su Qianqian introduced the main members of the caravan to them.

After getting to know each other for a while, a group of people set off on the road and continued towards Yan Capital.

On the way, Su Qianqian seemed to be only thinking about the traitor and occasionally glanced at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin naturally noticed Su Qianqian's strange gaze but said nothing.

In the afternoon, everyone found a shady place to rest.

Su Qianqian sat beside Mo Xiu and Yan Ran and told them something about the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

While talking, she saw Yang Lin coming over promptly.

"Hmm?" Su Qianqian glanced at Yang Lin.

"Miss, your gaze when directing at me seems a bit wrong, have you misunderstood me something?" Yang Lin looked directly at Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian was stunned for a moment, glanced at Mo Xiu inadvertently, smiled, and asked, "What do I misunderstand you about?"

Yang Lin hesitated for a while and finally replied, "Before, Young Master Wuji said that there was a traitor in our caravan. After that, you chatted with Young Master Wuji alone. After coming back, I saw something wrong with your eyes, so I'm just worried that you have misunderstood me as an insider."

"Don't worry, there is no such thing. You have been with me for a few years. Is it possible that I still don't understand you?" Su Qianqian shook her head in denial.

"Well, it seems that I have misunderstood. Please forgive me, Miss."

Yang Lin leaned slightly and then said to Mo Xiu, "Young Master Wuji, if I have offended you, please forgive me."

Mo Xiu just glanced at Yang Lin and said nothing.

After Yang Lin left, Su Qianqian turned his head to look at Mo Xiu, and whispered, "Young Master Wuji, are you sure Yang Lin is a traitor?"

"Yeah." Mo Xiu nodded lightly without any expression.

Su Qianqian still couldn't believe it, "If he's a traitor, he doesn't have any reason to come over and take the initiative to raise this matter, does he? Isn't he afraid that I will deepen my doubts about him?"

At this time, Yan Ran said, "Then have you deepened your doubts about him?"

"Ugh..." Su Qianqian was a little surprised at once.

Facts proved that Yang Lin's behavior did not deepen her suspicion, but diluted her suspicion, otherwise, she would not confirm to Mo Xiu again.

Yan Ran: "You just said that he has been with you for two or three years, and you know him very well, but it's him that knows you well instead, knowing what to do to eliminate your doubts."

"..." Su Qianqian fell into silence immediately.

Mo Xiu said in a timely manner, "It's still that sentence, you can choose not to believe it."

Su Qianqian kept swaying in her heart and sighed after a long time.

After resting for about half an hour, the caravan continued to set off for Yan Capital.

Azure Prefecture was some distance away from Yan Capital, and the caravans were not moving fast. At this speed, it would take four or five days to reach Yan Capital.

In the evening, everyone found a homestay.

After dinner, Mo Xiu was about to go back to his room when he was stopped by Yang Lin.

"Is something wrong?" Mo Xiu looked at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin nodded, and immediately said, "Miss seems to trust you very much."

"..."

Mo Xiu remained silent, saying nothing.

Yang Lin said again, "I don't know where you are from, but you'd better not make trouble, otherwise, I don't mind letting you know how good I am!"

If this guy was in the Mo Family or Sun Martial City, Mo Xiu would have slapped Yang Lin to death.

But now this place was really not suitable. Later, he would rely on Su Qianqian to take him and Yan Ran into Yan Capital, and Yang Lin was Su Qianqian's person, and he did not want to act before Su Qianqian took action.

He just looked at Yang Lin and asked calmly, "Have you finished?"

Yang Lin was stunned for a moment and then said, "Don't think that you are great. After all, you are a deacon who has only been verbally appointed by the Eldest Miss. Whether you can truly become a deacon of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce will ultimately be determined by the elders. And because we don't know where you come from, and you don't have any special talents, it's impossible for the elders to let you pass."

"And then?" Mo Xiu still did not give a shit.

"Then... then..." Yang Lin's momentum suddenly weakened a bit.

Mo Xiu didn't bother to pay attention any more as he swaggered and returned to the room.

For the next few days, Yang Lin remained quiet.

Until the fourth day, when they were approaching Yan Capital, some rumors broke out in the caravan.

"Have you heard that about the things between the Eldest Miss and Young Master Wuji?"

"Let me say it, how could the Eldest Miss suddenly invite a deacon of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce from an unknown source?"

"I just can't figure it out. There are countless young talents in Yan Capital, but how come she's not interested in them. Why does she just fall in love with this unknown son?"

"Maybe it was because of the previous 'hero saving the beauty' scene, but then again, the timing when Young Master Wuji arrived was too coincidental. It was like aiming at the time when the Eldest Miss was about to have an accident."

"Could it be him that attract the Coffin Locusts? Otherwise, why can't others use flames to destroy those locusts but his flames can destroy those locusts?"

...

In the beginning, it was only spread in a small area, but gradually, more than 100 people in the entire caravan actually started to discuss it.

At first, the rumors were only limited to the Eldest Miss Su Qianqian who was interested in Young Master Wuji, so she invited Young Master Wuji to join the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce as a deacon.

Gradually, the trend of rumors gradually changed, and everyone stopped discussing the fact that Su Qianqian was interested in Wuji, but instead, turned it into a conspiracy that Wuji made.

Mo Xiu had a Divine Consciousness, so these rumors couldn't escape his eyes, but he didn't say anything from start to finish as if he didn't know these rumors at all.

Su Qianqian was the one who heard these rumors the latest, but because it was the latest, the rumors she heard were also the most comprehensive.

Since it was said that the Coffin Locust incident was Mo Xiu's conspiracy, she naturally would not believe it, but the incident did reveal some doubts, so it was understandable for everyone to suspect.

But those people actually said that she fell in love with Mo Xiu, and only then abused her power and invited Mo Xiu to join the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce as a deacon.

This was naturally nonsense, but this matter had already involved her reputation. If the rumors were allowed to continue, she and Mo Xiu might both be in trouble.

So when she took a rest for the last time before returning to Yan Capital, Su Qianqian finally gathered everyone together.

She didn't mention the rumors, just said, "Yang Lin, you should give me an explanation, shouldn't you?"
