She stood up and took two quick steps, then remembered that the competition was still going on on the platform, so she stopped again.

Shi Fengdu also left his seat. He said solemnly, "Don't worry, Master. So far Ye Jinglan's competition has gone smoothly. I think even if there has been any manipulation, it will not affect this part. After everyone leaves, we can naturally send someone to the stage to check it out."

Mu Jinrong sighed: "That's right." After she sat down again, she said to Chen Xiao gratefully: "Thanks to Chen Xiaoyou for reminding me, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this." Regardless of whether she was really grateful or not, at least this gesture made people feel comfortable.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It was just a coincidence. I have heard of such cases of frame-up in my hometown before. Such things are not common in Yingxian Island, but they occasionally happen in the mortal world."

Shi Fengdu was very curious about Chen Xiao, so he asked, "Where is Chen Xiaoyou's hometown?"

Chen Xiao said, "Gengsheng Xiaotian Realm." Chen Xiao didn't know that Shi Fengdu was just gossiping, and thought he was asking for details. He didn't hide anything, and said directly, "Before going out to train, I worked in a shop that sold antiques. In the mortal world, there are similar competitions, and in order to win, some contestants will do anything to win."

In fact, Chen Xiao had never seen anything like this in an antique shop. It was just that he was lying on the hospital bed before his death in his previous life and was bored watching TV series. He saw many villains causing damage to the protagonists. The methods used were so varied that it was eye-opening.

Shi Fengdu nodded: "I see. This is also a unique experience. As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Chen Xiaoyou is so young, but he has so much experience. Given time, he will surely achieve success in his practice and have a bright future."

There was admiration in Shi Fengdu's eyes.

What he saw and heard was what he saw, but he was able to quickly verify the reality around him and figure out where the problem lay, which showed that Chen Xiao had a flexible mind.

As the first disciple of the third generation of disciples of the island master of Yingxian Island, Shi Fengdu has abundant resources and good talents. Therefore, he never needs to be jealous of talents. At this moment, he is simply habitually looking at whether the person in front of him has the qualifications to recruit. When he realized that something was wrong, Xi Yunting was already expressionless.

Chen Xiao was completely unaware of this subtle change. He lowered his head modestly and said, "It's just some clever tricks. I don't deserve Mr. Shi's praise."

Shi Fengdu didn't dare to risk his life again, so he forced himself to smile and said, "I think it's past noon, why don't we go eat first. The chefs at the island owner's mansion have already prepared delicious dishes."

Chen Xiao originally wanted to go back and continue watching the game, but he changed his mind after a second thought. Entering the next round of the competition, the contestants had two hours of rest time, and he would not miss the exciting part at all.

The chefs at the Island Master's Mansion are better than those at Zuixian Winery, and the food they cook is even better. Chen Xiao didn't expect to have such a good meal, and his eyes curved with enjoyment while eating.

Seeing his satisfied look, Xi Yunting's inner haze immediately disappeared. While eating, he quietly introduced the dishes. You know, he usually follows the principle of not talking while eating.

Tong Nuonuo had been training with him for two or three years, so of course he knew what Xi Yunting's habits were. Even the dullest of nerves could sense that something was wrong. His greasy mouth was bulging with food, and he looked around in confusion. Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting were both calmer than each other, and he couldn't tell anything from their faces. In the end, he had to give up and lower his head to continue fighting with the food in front of him.

Tang Ru was much calmer. He didn't look around the whole time, as if the two people showing their affection around him didn't exist.

After finishing their meal, they did not return to the room in Qianxiufang behind the platform, but returned to their compartment on the third floor. On the way back, people passed by one after another, and it seemed that they were either leaving to rest or to eat.

After entering the compartment, Chen Xiao looked towards the platform below. The scene was no longer as peaceful as when he left. This time, it was Ye Jinglan who took the initiative to attack Zhen Ning.

Looking at the boxes beside the two people, Ye Jinglan's progress was slightly faster than Zhen Ning's. She did not rest on her laurels and began to take the initiative to create obstacles for her opponent. This move surprised those who knew her.

Ye Jinglan looked gentle and kind. The disciples of Qianxiufang thought that she would use a defensive counterattack to maintain a slight advantage and win in the end. No one thought that she would be so aggressive.

Only a few people in the audience knew why Ye Jinglan did this. She wanted to ensure her advantage and win the game with certainty.

After the people from the Island Master's Mansion took over the people around the platform, the disciples of both sides stepped back and became spectators. Ye Jinglan's initiative made many girls from Qianxiufang excited and cheered for her.

Chen Xiao stood up and walked to the front, carefully observing the expressions of the Qianxiufang disciples. He watched for a long time, but found nothing. The traitor had a good psychological quality, and no one showed any unusual behavior.

He sighed softly, Xi Yunting patted his shoulder and said, "Don't sigh, Xiaodi. Your judgment must be correct. The people from Shifengdu will definitely be able to find out which one was attacked during the rest period. By reversely inferring in this way, the scope of the search and investigation will be greatly narrowed, and the person can be caught soon."

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "I hope so."

Under Ye Jinglan's constant harassment, Zhen Ning's dyeing was all failures for a while. Before she was about to explode without hesitation, Ye Jinglan stopped while she was ahead. This made Zhen Ning almost vomit blood. The time to complete the link was also a reference for the judges in the end, so she had to save her true energy and use it to catch up with the progress.

Ye Jinglan not only achieved his goal and gained the advantage, but also was not disturbed by Zhen Ning during the last period of spinning.

Ye Jinglan finished at about four o'clock in the afternoon. She put the spindles full of silk threads neatly, closed the box and locked it. Under Zhen Ning's angry gaze, she slowly walked down the platform.

As soon as she went down, the disciples of Qianxiufang gathered around her, but they were quickly separated by the people from the Island Master's Mansion, who took Ye Jinglan away from the high platform.

Such tight protection was unprecedented, and the disciples of Qianxiufang were a little at a loss. After Ye Jinglan left, it took a while for the crowd to disperse.

In order not to disturb Zhen Ning who was still dyeing, Shi Fengdu did not let anyone come up to the stage to check. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Zhen Ning also left the stage, and then he had everyone on the first floor driven away.

People in the surrounding compartments also began to leave. After almost all the audience had left, Shi Fengdu personally led his people to the stage.

In order to avoid suspicion, no one from Qianxiufang showed up for this inspection. Shi Fengdu not only inspected Ye Jinglan's belongings, but also those from Wanjin Pavilion.

Beside him was a practitioner specially called in who was proficient in potions and dyes. He soon discovered that the problem was with the dyeing potion.

This dye looks the same as the original at first glance, but in fact, its adhesion is much lower. The adhesion of purple gardenia using this dye is not good, and the color is much lighter.

The color matching had been studied many times beforehand, and there was no room for error. This traitor had evil intentions. Even if Ye Jinglan found something unusual on the field, it was already over. He could only bite the bullet and finish it, and finally lost with a lower quality than the opponent.

Knowing where the problem lies, the people of Shifengdu quickly caught the traitor with the help of the Qianxiufang disciples who had been eliminated as suspects.

After receiving the news, Chen Xiao and his companions quickly rushed to the large room of Qianxiufang behind the platform. Ye Jinglan was not there, and Mu Jinrong did not intend to tell her about this at this time. Therefore, in addition to the previous people, there was also a woman wearing Qianxiufang's standard dress.

Before Chen Xiao and the others arrived, after being pointed out by many people, the woman could not deny it and had to admit that she had replaced the dye. At this time, she knew that the situation was hopeless and Mu Jinrong would never let her, a traitor, go. She collapsed to the ground in despair and knelt at Mu Jinrong's feet, crying in pain.

"I was bewildered for a moment, please forgive me, Master! I just can't accept it. We entered the abbey at the same time, and I am no worse than Ye Jinglan in any way! I was jealous of her representing the abbey this time, and I just wanted to replace her. I didn't have any bad intentions! Please, Master, don't kick me out of Qianxiufang!"

Mu Jinrong hated her for being a traitor. This woman had been carefully cultivated together with Ye Jinglan, but he didn't expect her to be so despicable. Mu Jinrong sighed in his heart that he didn't know her well enough. He kicked the woman and made her roll over: "You dare to ruin the important things of Qianxiufang just for your jealousy! Betray your fellow disciples! Sell out secrets! You are not worthy of being a disciple of my place! From now on, you are expelled from Qianxiufang and are no longer a disciple of my place! If you dare to let me see you again, I will definitely kill you!"

After rolling over, the woman crawled to Mu Jinrong's feet again, grabbed her skirt and begged her: "Master, please have mercy! Although I am jealous of Ye Jinglan, I dare not harm the important things of Qianxiufang. At first, I just passed a message, but later I was caught, and I got deeper and deeper into trouble, and made a big mistake. Master, please give me another chance because I can't help myself!"

Mu Jinrong swung his sleeves in disgust, and the disciple was whipped away. "How dare you! If you knew you were wrong, you would have come to me and admitted it long ago. How could this happen? You have done this again and again, and you still hope to get away with it. It shows that you have no intention of repenting! Come on, take her away!"

Shi Fengdu stopped her, "Wait a minute, let me ask her a question."

Mu Jinrong's face was still full of anger, and he said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Please ask, Mr. Shi."

Shi Fengdu stood in front of the woman and asked her seriously, "You said that a message was delivered at first. Who did you deliver it to?"

The woman was kicked and whipped, and almost lost half her life. However, when Shi Fengdu asked her, she dared not not answer: "She was a female disciple of Wanjin Pavilion, but I know that Zhen Ning was the one behind her!"
