"Father, you don't need to worry too much about the Ming Cult. You've only just recovered and shouldn't expend too much energy on these matters. Everything in the Ming Cult has been arranged."
Xiao Feng agreed to stay in the Ming Cult for a while, so he continued to do the things that Wu Hai couldn't do now, using the title of the Ming Cult's son-in-law.
Su Xueqing meant that once the situation in the Ming Cult stabilized, she would naturally find a suitable opportunity to publicly announce that the two of them had separated.
However, the Ming Cult cannot afford any further fluctuations, so Xiao Feng will have to endure this for a while.
Xiao Feng didn't feel wronged at all; it was just a matter of time.
When Xiao Feng came to find Wu Hai later, he had already explained the matter to Wu Hai.
Although Wu Hai sighed, he did not hesitate to arrange things for Xiao Feng.
"Have you made any progress on the traitor you were tasked with investigating who leaked the information about the leader's departure from the Ming Cult?" Wu Hai asked Xiao Feng.
“I’m starting to get a clue. If the leader is just in seclusion, he will definitely come out when the Ming Cult faces a life-or-death crisis. They wouldn’t dare to risk attacking the Ming Cult under such circumstances, so they must know that the leader has left the Ming Cult.”
“But my godfather said before that no one else besides you could know that the leader left the Ming Cult, so this person should not be a core member of the Ming Cult.”
“He may have found out through other means that the leader did not go into seclusion but left. My initial suspicion is that the people who serve the leader are the maids.”
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's analysis, Wu Hai nodded.
"You don't need to worry about the rest. You're in charge of settling things in all aspects of the Ming Cult's development and the situation of these disciples. As for the matter of this mole, it's not convenient for you to go into detail, I'll handle that."
Xiao Feng only told Wu Hai about his suspicions; how Wu Hai investigated was none of his business.
After Xiao Feng left Wu Hai's residence, Wu Hai immediately sent a telepathic message to Su Mo.
Although Su Mo was still in seclusion, she still listened to Wu Hai's idea after receiving his telepathic message.
"I was too careless about the mole. You can handle it yourself. You have my token too. As for those who might leak information, you can deal with them yourself."
After replying to Wu Hai, Su Mo continued her seclusion.
The main reason was that the crisis the Ming Cult encountered this time made Wu Hai realize that if this traitor was not found, there would inevitably be external troubles in the future.
He was able to leak information about the Ming Cult's internal affairs once, and that single leak directly triggered such a major battle.
If he finds any more information about the Ming Cult, a second major battle will not be far off.
Wu Hai was determined to find the mole who noticed Su Mo's departure.
With Su Mo's consent, Wu Hai immediately had all the maids and servants who served Su Mo brought to his own courtyard.
Wu Hai said nothing, but simply had someone prepare a bowl of poison beforehand and had these people drink it.
Some of these people knelt down and begged for mercy, while others resisted repeatedly, but Wu Hai simply stood there expressionless, freezing them all in place, and had the poison poured down their throats.
This is a poison I've just developed, perfect for testing those who have a guilty conscience.
Wu Hai spent more than half a month researching and finally finished making this thing.
"Among you, who leaked the secret of the leader's departure from the Ming Cult to those hypocrites?"
Most people looked blank, but one person's expression suddenly changed drastically.
When Wu Hai's gaze fell on her, there was a hint of surprise in it.
"Speak! Who is it?" Wu Hai stared intently at the maid whose expression had changed, and spoke again, word by word.
The other servants knelt down and kowtowed, crying and shouting that they hadn't done it.
The maid originally wanted to do the same thing as everyone else, even under Wu Hai's gaze.
But as soon as she had this thought, she felt a churning pain in her stomach and immediately screamed.
"ah--"
The piercing screams silenced the maids and servants who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
"It's you?" Wu Hai almost laughed out of anger.
It wasn't that this person was particularly incredible, but rather that this person was someone that neither he nor Su Mo would normally notice.
Wu Hai had some impression of her because she was a maid who had been with Su Mo for a long time.
He was someone Su Mo trusted quite a bit.
Wu Hai never expected that the traitor who caused such chaos in their Ming Cult was actually this maid.
Wu Hai waved his hand, gave the others the antidote, and told them to leave. He then had his men drag the maid to him.
"Why did you betray the Ming Cult? Why did you spread the news that the leader had left the Ming Cult?" Wu Hai grabbed the maid by the neck from a distance and lifted her into the air.
"Your Majesty, I didn't! You've misunderstood me!" The maid, of course, wouldn't admit it and began to struggle frantically in her death throes.
"Misunderstanding? Heh, I don't think it's a misunderstanding at all. Since you're unwilling to talk about it, then enjoy the poison in your body."
Wu Hai threw the woman back to the ground, and her internal organs were once again wracked with intense pain. One scream after another escaped from the woman's mouth.
Killing this woman would be easy.
What Wu Hai was worried about was whether this person was a spy sent by someone else to infiltrate the Ming Cult, and how much information she had passed on to the Ming Cult.
And who is the person behind this woman?
Only by understanding these things can the Ming Cult respond and retaliate as quickly as possible.
However, no matter how Wu Hai tormented the maid, the maid only said that she had made a mistake in thinking for a moment.
It was because she admired Su Mo, but Su Mo never treated her differently. In fact, after she vaguely revealed her admiration, Su Mo even tried to kick her out of the courtyard.
That's why she was unwilling to accept it. She wanted to betray the Ming Cult because she couldn't have the love she wanted. She never thought about betraying the Ming Cult. She just hoped that Su Mo could see her and that Su Mo would have her in his eyes.
“I made a request to the person who approached me: after the Ming Cult is destroyed, they want to give me the leader. I only did it because I admire the leader so much. I never thought of betraying the Ming Cult. I just hoped that the leader would look at me more.”
Upon hearing these disgusting remarks, Wu Hai immediately raised his hand and used his spiritual power to seal the maid's mouth.
With his eyes tightly closed, Wu Hai sent a telepathic message to Su Mo and Su Xueqing, asking them to come to him, as he had found the mole who caused this tragedy.
