Dugu Bo coughed twice, interrupting their conversation, then said, "Now, the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might still be monitoring us from outside. We should discuss some important matters."
Zhuge Lan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Clan Leader Bai He, why have you come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? I just heard you mention the Speed Clan light seal. What is that?"
Clan Leader Bai He sighed. Starcloud Douluo, who was beside him, gave him a look, signaling him not to speak, but Clan Leader Bai He shook his head.
"Zhuge Lan is not an outsider; I can explain it to him."
Afterward, Clan Leader Bai He continued, "The Speed Clan light seal is the most precious treasure of our Speed Clan. It has two important functions. First, it has a powerful symbolism. That is to say, with the Speed Clan light seal, my position as Clan Leader can be stable. If I didn't have this Clan Leader position, I would rather die."
"The second is its influence on the Spirit of our Speed Clan."
Zhuge Lan quickly comforted him.
"Clan Leader Bai He, don't be angry. There will always be a way. Are there any clues about the Speed Clan light seal now?"
Clan Leader Bai He thought for a while and said seriously, "Based on our previous investigation, we have already identified the target. It's my brother, Bai Huyang. It's said that he came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so we also came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Zhuge Lan eagerly asked, "And then? Did you find Bai Huyang?"
Clan Leader Bai He sighed.
"No. It would be great if we could find him. School Master Ning said that Bai Huyang never came, and I asked him several times, but there was no result. Now I'm stuck here. Zhuge Lan, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhuge Lan began to ponder. School Master Ning's character was well-known in the martial arts world; he was very good. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't lie. Since he said he hadn't seen him, it was highly probable that he hadn't.
In this situation, he suddenly thought of a problem: not long after Clan Leader Bai He left the Sect with Starcloud Douluo, a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall appeared in the Speed Clan. This matter was too strange.
As the saying goes, 'something unusual must be demonic.' So, the matter of the Speed Clan light seal might be a conspiracy from Spirit Hall.
Afterward, he said to Clan Leader Bai He, "Clan Leader Bai He, I feel there's something fishy about this. Think about it, after you and Starcloud Douluo left the Speed Clan because of the Speed Clan light seal, the Speed Clan quickly experienced a rebellion, with a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall arriving. Don't you think that's strange?"
Clan Leader Bai He fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Zhuge Lan, your meaning is that the Speed Clan light seal incident is a conspiracy."
Zhuge Lan nodded and continued, "Think about it, how could there be such a coincidence? You just left, and then the Speed Clan immediately had a rebellion."
Clan Leader Bai He slowly nodded.
"Now that I think about it carefully, it does seem to be the case. So, is the Speed Clan light seal at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now?"
Zhuge Lan had already guessed where the Speed Clan light seal likely was. If the Speed Clan fell into great chaos, who would benefit? Would it be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? No, it would be Spirit Hall. Did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect need to seize the Speed Clan light seal? There was no need. After all, what could they do with it if they seized it? Use it to train disciples? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had too many treasures and wouldn't offend a major Sect just for a Speed Clan light seal.
Therefore, there was only one possibility: Spirit Hall had planned to seize it. After all, if the Speed Clan was in disarray, it could draw him out, as he was a major enemy of Spirit Hall. And by placing the blame on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was also in chaos, it would perfectly suit their intentions.
He said, "Clan Leader Bai He, the Speed Clan light seal should be in Spirit Hall's hands, perhaps even in Qian Renxue's hands."
Clan Leader Bai He's face showed shock, and he quickly said, "Ah! How do you know?"
Zhuge Lan explained, "Clan Leader Bai He, think carefully, what benefit would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gain if they seized the Speed Clan light seal? I don't think there's any. Does Spirit Hall gain any benefit from seizing the Speed Clan light seal? Yes, after all, we and Spirit Hall are enemies."
Clan Leader Bai He's face revealed a look of shock. For a moment, he found it hard to believe and directly slumped into the chair.
After a long while, he slowly recovered and then said, "It must be. School Master Ning and I have been old friends for decades. I know him best. He wouldn't do such a thing. Also, I thought of something else: the disciple who reported this information, after reporting it, was never seen again."
Zhuge Lan nodded.
"It seems that's the case. Spirit Hall did it, and it has nothing to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Clan Leader Bai He's face showed anger, and he shouted discontentedly, "This damned Spirit Hall, repeatedly causing trouble for our Speed Clan! If our Speed Clan becomes strong, we will definitely settle this score with Spirit Hall."
Zhuge Lan nodded.
"Yes, this damned Spirit Hall has now extended its hand to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Clan Leader Bai He's face showed confusion.
"Why? I see that the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are not very nervous; they don't look like they're going to war."
Zhuge Lan sighed.
"That's what's most terrifying. After all, the other side has already surrounded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, ready to attack at any moment. Yet, at this time, the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seem to believe that war won't happen, and they're doing whatever they want! Eating, drinking, and having fun. How can they resist Spirit Hall's army if this continues?"
Clan Leader Bai He's face showed a hint of astonishment.
"I didn't expect it to be so critical already. I haven't been out during this time, so I don't know what exactly happened."
Zhuge Lan continued, "Clan Leader Bai He, I hope we can unite to deal with Spirit Hall together. After all, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is destroyed, the next Sect might be the Speed Clan."
Clan Leader Bai He's face showed a determined look.
"I understand."
At this moment, Zhuge Lan remembered something: he had come here mainly to find Ning Rongrong.
After all, Ning Rongrong and he had been particularly good friends before.
There was even a hint of infatuation between them. When he was in trouble before, Ning Rongrong had gone to great lengths to try and support him.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Clan Leader Bai He, do you know where Ning Rongrong lives? Can you contact her?"
Clan Leader Bai He was startled and said, confused, "Yes, of course! Ning Rongrong should be in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I even saw her a few days ago."
Zhuge Lan's eyes lit up. He then exchanged glances with Dugu Bo and said, "Clan Leader Bai He, I'll write a letter. Could you deliver it to Ning Rongrong?"
Clan Leader Bai He said, "No problem, leave it to me."
Zhuge Lan then took out the letter he had prepared beforehand, handed it to Clan Leader Bai He, and said seriously, "Clan Leader Bai He, please don't let anyone else know."
