Although Nangong Feiyu was also unsatisfied with Ye Hongling's fate, he was more concerned about the whereabouts of the Soul Suppressing Sand. He hastily asked, "Miss Xiao, when Old Master Xiao died, did you not tell me where the Soul Suppressing Sand went?"

"I'm not too sure about this, because when I returned to Cloud Restaurant's Villa, my grandfather had already died!" Xiao Hong Yu smiled bitterly, "The most annoying thing is that not long after my father passed away, I was not by his side when he died."

"Then when he died, who was with whom?" Nangong Feiyu asked.

"It seems to be my second uncle. However, he doesn't know where the Soul Suppressing Sand went, because he said that my father left without informing him about this matter!" Xiao Hong Yu said.

"In that case, I'm starting to suspect whether this Soul Suppressing Sand is in your Cloud Restaurant or not!" Nangong Feiyu bitterly smiled.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Think about it, Soul Suppressing Sand is the most precious treasure that has been passed down from one generation to the next in your Cloud Restaurant. Even if you are a girl of your generation, you still have to inherit your father's mantle. How could he not hand over such an important thing to you?" Nangong Feiyu asked.

"What are you trying to say?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"I suspect that the Soul Suppressing Sand has long since disappeared from your Cloud Pavilion. It might have been stolen from your grandfather's generation, if not, he would have definitely passed it on to your father before he died. Then, you might know the whereabouts of this Soul Suppressing Sand!" Nangong Feiyu said.

"Impossible!" Xiao Hong Yu interrupted Nangong Feiyu, "Our Cloud Restaurant's security is always tight, it's not easy for outsiders to enter, so how can we talk about stealing treasures?"

"It doesn't necessarily mean that we can defend ourselves well!" Nangong Feiyu gave a calm smile, "Isn't there a saying:" Aren't you afraid of thieves stealing and afraid of thieves thinking about you? "There are many capable people in the martial arts world. If someone really has the intention to kill that Soul Suppressing Sand, they might have a chance of winning!"

"Now that you mention it, I do remember something!" Xiao Hong Yu said.

"What is it?" Nangong Feiyu asked.

In the past, many of the people who came to congratulate our family on their birthday were all new faces. These people rarely interact with the Cloud Restaurant on normal days, but on that day, they all revealed themselves. Moreover, the excuses that some people used were very far-fetched, saying that they had heard of the Cloud Pavilion's fame. Xiao Hong Yu said.

"There must be a conspiracy!" As Nangong Feiyu said this, he couldn't help but crease his eyebrows, "Do you still remember when Meng Chun Lou left, those people pulled those fellows and fought against him? If one were to ask, who in the world would bring a weapon to congratulate someone? Could it be that they had already agreed that there would be a great battle if they went there? "

"If the saber doesn't leave the body of a martial artist, then even if he carries a weapon to celebrate his birthday, there is nothing wrong with it!" Li Yi Hua laughed.

"But the problem is, they're going to Cloud Restaurant's place. With the influence Cloud Restaurant's place at that time, could anyone still suspect that it wasn't safe there?" Nangong Feiyu asked.

"That makes sense!" These people are definitely not there for the purpose of celebrating their birthday. They might be there for other purposes! " Mo Yun said.

"Soul Suppressing Sand!" Nangong Feiyu coldly smiled, "That's right! I understand! "

"What do you understand?" Li Yi Hua asked.

"On the surface, those people are going to offer their congratulations, but they are secretly plotting against the Soul Suppressing Sand! I dare to speculate boldly that those people definitely wanted to massacre Cloud Restaurant's Villa and then force Old Man Xiao to hand over the Soul Suppressing Sand. Unfortunately, the appearance of Meng Chun Lou had messed up their plans, and that's why they couldn't wait to get rid of Meng Chun House and disregarded the laws of the martial arts world. Nangong Feiyu analyzed.

"It can't be? "Most of those people are from famous clans in the martial world. How could they be sinister and despicable people like them?" Shu An asked.

"Who can say?" Nangong Feiyu gave a bitter smile, "Don't forget, through this Soul Suppressing Sand, it is very possible to refine the Immortal Medicine. Who can resist this temptation?"

When Xiao Hong Yu heard this, she could not help but smile bitterly and said, "I finally know why father did not let me seek revenge on Meng Quan. It turns out that Meng Quan accidentally blocked a disaster for our Cloud Restaurant! This is too ironic! "

"No wonder so many people from Cloud Restaurant had died in the battle, yet none of them went to find Meng Chun Lou to seek revenge. So it turns out that all these people have a guilty conscience!" Li Yi Hua laughed bitterly.

"Or perhaps, they just thought that Meng Chun Lou had already secretly joined forces with Cloud Restaurant's Villa. After that great battle, even though they had the intention to take revenge, they no longer had the strength to challenge the Cloud Restaurant, let alone find the courage to go to Meng Chunlou. Therefore, the reason Old Man Xiao forbids Lady Xiao from taking revenge on Meng Chunlou is very likely because he has long seen through the subtle relationship between the two! " Nangong Feiyu said.

"I really didn't expect that such a confidential matter would be exposed by outsiders, but I have been keeping it in the dark all this time!" Xiao Hong Yu smiled bitterly.

Nangong Feiyu faintly smiled and said, "I have another bold idea. Perhaps Miss Xiao will be even more shocked after hearing it!"

"What idea?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Your Cloud Restaurant has a spy!" Nangong Feiyu said.

"Huh?" Xiao Hong Yu was greatly shocked, "What right do you have to say that?"

"Think about it, when your father died, why wasn't you by his side? Where did you go? " Nangong Feiyu asked.

"I remember that my father sent me to find Jia Yunlin and he said that he wanted to invite me to come over to discuss the opening of the Martial Arts Competition. Who would have thought that my father would already be gone before I returned!" Xiao Hong Yu sighed.

"That's right!" Nangong Feiyu gave a bitter smile, "At that time, you were only sent out because your father was protecting you. He already knew that there was a traitor in the manor, afraid that you would be implicated, so he gave you a task that does not hurt much. Otherwise, why would you need to show your face to him?"

When Xiao Hong Yu heard this, she was slightly shocked. She couldn't help but ask, "Then who do you suspect is that spy?"

"It's hard to say! Because I'm not a member of your Cloud Restaurant's Villa, and since I don't have any evidence, it's inconvenient for me to guess! " Nangong Feiyu said.

"If your deduction is correct, then the reason why my father isn't willing to reveal the whereabouts of Soul Suppressing Sand is definitely because he wants to keep this a secret and not leak it out. This is too scary! " Xiao Hong Yu really didn't dare to think any further. "Could all of this be true?"

Nangong Feiyu muttered to himself for a moment and then nodded his head. He said, "Miss Xiao, I believe that the reason you are able to become the owner of Cloud Restaurant's Villa is because of a conspiracy!"

"Huh?" Xiao Hong Yu was greatly shocked. "What plot?"

As the previous owner of the manor, there definitely isn't anyone who didn't know where the Soul Suppressing Sand went to. Moreover, as a daughter, it is indeed inconvenient for you to be the owner of the manor, but, you did it steadily and stably. Nangong Feiyu said.

"What are you trying to say?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Miss Xiao is a smart person, can't you guess?" Nangong Feiyu said with a faint smile.

"You're saying that the spy wanted to use me to find the Soul Suppressing Sand and replace it?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Of course this is the best plan, but if I were that person, I would not have replaced him and let you continue to be the manor lord while secretly controlling you. After all, this is the easiest way!" Nangong Feiyu smiled.

"I suddenly thought of someone!" Xiao Hong Yu said with some lingering fear.

"Who?" Nangong Feiyu asked.

"My second uncle!" He has always been obedient and would never let me feel sad, but he has rarely received my grandfather's favor. It can be said that while my grandfather was still alive, he almost never asked about anything in the manor, until after my father passed away. If it wasn't for my father's numerous pleas, he probably wouldn't have come out to manage the affairs, could it be that the spy you were talking about was him? "

"Adultery and loyalty! This kind of person is good at disguising himself, making it so that you can hardly find any fault with him. But this kind of person is usually a cunning person, I think your second uncle is this kind of person! " Shu An said.

"Shut up!" Stop talking nonsense! " Nangong Feiyu reprimanded.

"Young Master Nan Gong, don't blame him. I was thinking the same thing just now! "However, my second uncle has always kept a low profile, especially when it comes to competing for power and profits. I presume that he wouldn't be a spy. Maybe there's someone else in the family!" Xiao Hong Yu said.

"Miss Xiao, I feel that we need to make a trip to Cloud Restaurant. If we don't get rid of this traitor soon, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble in the future …" Mo Yun reminded.

"You can't!" Nangong Feiyu decisively stopped Mo Yunzhong from continuing, "We are only speculating now, we do not have any evidence. Moreover, so many years have passed, if we recklessly take action now, not only will we not win, we might even stir up some trouble, which is not worth it!"

"Young Master Nangong is right!" Xiao Hong Yu smiled indifferently, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's talk about the present first!"

"Did you find anything useful when you went to the Famous Guest House?" Mo Yunzhong asked.

"There is indeed a problem!" Xiao Hong Yu smiled bitterly and explained everything that had happened before and after. She then sighed: "The great Ru Yi Hall has actually done such a dishonorable thing. It is truly unbelievable!"

Nangong Feiyu muttered to himself for a moment, then suddenly asked with a cold smile, "Do you think that Wu Weidao and his group are stupid?"

"Of course he's not stupid, he's even way too smart!" "Yes," Shu An replied.

"In that case, why would they discredit themselves?" Nangong Feiyu bitterly smiled, "I'm afraid that Miss Xiao has been tricked by them!"

"It can't be, that person said it clearly, it can't be fake!" Xiao Hong Yu said.

"Don't you find it strange that a stranger would tell you so many secrets on their first meeting?" Nangong Feiyu asked.

When Xiao Hong Yu heard this, she felt that it made sense. She tried asking, "If this is a trap, then what is their real motive?"

Nangong Feiyu couldn't help but walk around the room. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "I'll use you as a spear!"

"Huh?" Xiao Hong Yu was stunned, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

"The things that the Ru Yi Hall has done in the past few years are simply not enough for the martial arts world. Although they cover it up quite cleverly, there are some things that cannot be covered up!" Nangong Feiyu smiled, "Moreover, back then Jia Quan Lin led many bloody battles between the Righteous Fathers of the River Lake and the Ruyi Temple. Both sides suffered casualties, so how could this kind of enmity be forgotten in a short period of time?"

"What are you trying to say?" Xiao Hong Yu could not help but be confused. She really could not understand what Nangong Feiyu was trying to express in such a large circle.

"As long as there are grievances, there will be revenge. Jia Yilin will not be willing to lose, and the Ru Yi Hall is even more unwilling to sit still and wait for their doom. Thus, "Nangong Feiyu smiled lightly," Whether or not we can win the support of even more people, will become the bargaining chip! "

"Are you saying that the Ru Yi Hall purposely told me their secret in order to use my unfair personality to spread the news? They even went to find those bad judges to settle the score, causing chaos in the martial arts world while they reap the benefits?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"If you really did that, then they would turn the tables around and say that you created everything from nothing, framed people, and thus put all the blame on you. However, they, Ru Yi Hall, would become even more innocent because of this. Think about it, didn't they cause chaos in the martial arts world without even a single soldier and also cause your Cloud Restaurant's reputation to go down the drain? Isn't that a brilliant poison scheme?" Nangong Feiyu asked with a smile.

"But aren't they afraid of making a mistake?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Of course not! "Because the person who received you will disappear into thin air at any time. When that time comes, without any proof, what's the use of a mouth?" Nangong Feiyu asked.

When Xiao Hong Yu heard this, she couldn't help but perspire profusely as she hatefully scolded, "Such a vicious plan, it's too poisonous!"

"It's a good thing that we saw through their tricks. Otherwise, the consequences would really be hard to predict!" Mo Yun sighed.

"Then what are we going to do? Don't tell me we should just let them do as they please? " Shu An asked.

When Nangong Feiyu heard this, he could not help but sneer. He said, "Since they have a good plan, then let's just let it be!"

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Tomorrow, you can go over again and see if the person who received you today is still there. If he's here, ask him who is the judge for this competition. First, clarify the pros and cons of this show, and then we can come back and discuss further! " Nangong Feiyu said.

"That's good too! I also want to see if that fellow still has the guts to stay there! " Xiao Hong Yu said.

"What's the next step?" Mo Yunzhong asked.

All of these judges who want to be schemed against by the Wishful Temple are probably decent people in the martial arts world. At the very least, they are not people that the Wishful Temple can recruit. We must unite them and expose the schemes of the Wishful Hall together; when the time comes, this beauty contest will be much more lively! " Nangong Feiyu said with a mischievous smile.

"Where is the person who received Miss Xiao?" Do you want to control him? " Shu An asked.

"That will be in the future!" Nangong Feiyu gave a calm smile, "Currently, he is the messenger of the Ru Yi Hall. For now, his life is not in danger, so when his life is threatened, it will be time for us to act!"

"I hope that this time, we will be able to turn the tides and take back the loser's spot in the Spring Pavilion!" Shu An said confidently.
