When Chen Xiao and the other two returned to the competition venue, Xi Yunting and Shi Fengdu were waiting at the door.

"Brother Xiao." Xi Yunting turned to Shi Fengdu and said, "These three are Chen Xiao, Tong Nuonuo, and Tang Ru whom I just mentioned to you."

Shi Fengdu nodded to the three of them and said, "Three Taoist friends, please follow me."

Shi Fengdu turned around and walked inside with three people. Chen Xiao hurriedly shouted, "Liu Lang will be here soon. Can the guard let him in later?"

Shi Fengdu stopped, turned around and said to the guard at Qianxiufang at the door: "When Liu Lang comes over, bring him to me immediately."

Shi Fengdu led the three people to his compartment, which was located in the center of the third floor, not far from their compartment. As he walked forward, Shi Fengdu couldn't suppress his curiosity and turned his head to look at Chen Xiao who was standing behind him.

Chen Xiao felt his gaze and looked at him in confusion. Then Xi Yunting, who was walking beside him, looked over, and Shi Fengdu immediately smiled at Xi Yunting as naturally as possible.

He appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually surprised in his heart.

It had only been a short time, so Shi Fengdu certainly still remembered the fabrics Xi Yunting had picked out at Qianxiufang that day. Although the clothes were packed and handed over directly, he would not fail to recognize that Chen Xiao was wearing the new clothes that Xi Yunting had commissioned Qianxiufang to make that day.

Later, Mu Jinrong asked him if Xi Yunting had a crush on someone or was in love with someone, and he answered categorically that it was impossible. Unexpectedly, reality hit him hard so soon.

Just one glance at her brought a chilling look. How closely was she watching?

The group quickly arrived at Shi Fengdu's compartment. Before they even had time to sit down, Chen Xiao began to recount Liu Lang's experience that day.

Shi Fengdu nodded, "It seems that Mr. Chen's speculation is correct. There is indeed a traitor in Qianxiufang. Without further ado, I will go and tell Master Mu, and then find this person as soon as possible." He stood up and said to the few people, "In order not to attract attention, please continue to watch the competition. I will inform you when there is progress."

Xi Yunting nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, please go and do your work. We will wait here."

After Shi Fengdu left, although Chen Xiao was still a little worried, he was relieved. He turned his eyes to the platform and was immediately stunned.

On the high platform, Ye Jinglan and Zhen Ning were each taking their first steps, Ye Jinglan was spinning and Zhen Ning was dyeing.

Countless strands of silk in front of Ye Jinglan sparkled under the sunlight. Her hands danced quickly, using her true energy to control countless spindles and spinning wheels, spinning the silk into strands of silk.

Next to her, balls of hair were floating in the air, and strands of hair were floating in the air, like a white blanket. The golden fuel atomized into a hazy cloud, slowly seeping into the plane in front.

What shocked Chen Xiao the most was not their respective dyeing and weaving spells, but the fact that the two of them were busy with the process at hand while constantly attacking and defending each other.

The classification of this "competition" is indeed correct, and it is so straightforward that it leaves people speechless. No wonder the competition lasts so long, sometimes even for several days and nights. It would be strange if it didn't last long with so much interference.

Ye Jinglan's face was tense, and beads of sweat covered the tip of her nose. Her defensive skills were superb. She blocked Zhen Ning's attempts to contaminate the silk with dye many times, and occasionally she could even control the spindle to fight back.

Chen Xiao finally understood why Qianxiufang let Ye Jinglan fight this time. She was really stable. She used the spinning spell very steadily, with a very fast but even speed. She could respond to Zhen Ning's surprise attack in time every time, and the spinning process was still stable without any mistakes.

After many unsuccessful attacks, Zhen Ning seemed to have given up on sabotaging his opponent in this round and gradually focused on his own process.

After both of them began to focus on the process in their hands, the scene became more exciting. Spinning and dyeing seemed no longer boring work, but turned into an extremely gorgeous art performance.

There was a large open wooden box next to each of them. Ye Jinglan's box contained a spindle full of silk threads, while Zhen Ning's box contained layers of fluffy golden hairs.

When Ye Jinglan filled half a box and Zhen Ning filled one-third of a box, the people sent by Shi Fengdu invited them over.

The performance of the two people on the podium would not change for a while, so Chen Xiao had no regrets and just stood up and left.

They were taken to the second floor behind the platform, where there was a very large room that belonged to Qianxiufang. At this time, Mu Jinrong leaned on the chair with his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and Liu Lang sat next to him with a pale face. It was unknown how long he had been there.

Seeing Chen Xiao and the others coming over, Liu Lang didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly at them as a greeting. Chen Xiao knew that it was not convenient for them to talk in this situation, so he nodded in response.

After Mu Jinrong invited them to sit down, Shi Fengdu, as someone who knew each other well, began to introduce the current situation: "Before Liu Lang came, I had asked my men to investigate who in Qianxiufang was the traitor. But the current situation is not very clear."

Mu Jinrong pinched his brows in a headache: "I didn't expect that this competition would go wrong like this. This is the first time in history. It is not easy to find the traitor before the end of the competition. The people in my workshop who are not close to me are unreliable, and the closest ones are all suspicious, because only these people know the importance of Zizhi in this competition."

Shi Fengdu also said: "I don't know much about the situation inside your temple. At the moment, I can only get the help of the temple owner, and the number of people to be investigated is as many as hundreds. It is indeed difficult to catch this traitor before the end of the competition without alerting the other party."

Chen Xiao had been listening in obediently, but now that he heard that both of them were focusing on finding the traitor, he couldn't help but get a little anxious. He had to speak up and say, "Excuse me for being so nosy, Master Shi, Master Mu. Shouldn't we first check for hidden dangers and ensure that Ye Jinglan wins the competition? The traitor's goal has always been the same, which is to hinder and sabotage the Qianxiufang competition."

Shi Fengdu looked at him in surprise. Mu Jinrong didn't mean to blame him at this moment. She said, "My friend, Master Shi has already arranged for people to replace the people around the platform. I don't think the traitor will have a chance to do anything again."

Perhaps it was because they had never encountered such a thing before. Although Mu Jinrong and Shi Fengdu's handling seemed strict, it was somewhat inappropriate.

Chen Xiao said, "The match lasted for a long time. I don't think Ye Jinglan and Zhen Ning could have used spells continuously without stopping. I guess they would have taken a break and come down from the platform, right?"

Shi Fengdu said: "However, after this competition, there will be a two-hour break. During this period, there will be guards around the platform, and no one is allowed to approach. This is not just for this time, but every time."

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "Since this rule has been in place before, the traitor must know that there will be no chance to attack at this time. Therefore, he will definitely avoid this time and choose another opportunity to attack."

Shi Fengdu nodded: "We have also considered what you said. My people will stay by Ye Jinglan's side and will not leave her side for a single step. The water will also be tested before it is given to her."

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, "If the traitor really wants to take action, he certainly won't do it during the competition. I think he knows how much attention Ye Jinglan will attract. He will definitely take action before the competition, when things are the most chaotic and relaxed. Master Shi, Master Mu, are you sure that the materials and tools on the stage that have not been used yet are still original?"

Mu Jinrong's expression froze. Yes, if there was an opportunity for the traitor to take advantage of, it would be the time before he went on stage! At that time, there were plenty of opportunities to move and organize. Not only was it done without anyone noticing, but because it was specially checked before leaving Qianxiufang, the check before going on stage was just a count, and no detailed inspection was conducted!
