Gu Momo's expression turned cold: "It seems the Ye family is indeed hiding something. I just looked closely, and Ye Ruyu doesn't have that black mole on the back of her neck at all. This situation is completely different from what Fourth Master Ye Wanjun said!"
Li Zhanting frowned slightly: "It's very unlikely that Ye Wanjun is lying to us, and besides, he died not long after..."
Thinking of this, Gu Momo and Li Zhanting seemed to realize something, and a sharp glint flashed in their eyes at the same time!
Gu Momo quickly said, "When Ye Wanjun came looking for us just now, she was probably seen by the people from the Emperor Killing Alliance, which is why they wanted to silence the Fourth Master!"
So, does that mean the members of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance were just very close to them?
But did the Fourth Master really rush out because he saw the members of the Emperor-Killing Alliance?
Or perhaps he saw something else...
Li Zhanting guessed, "Perhaps the Fourth Master has some leverage over the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, which prevents him from directly telling us information about the members of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. He can only pass on information through this method and let us investigate."
"This is just our speculation, but the specific reason is probably only known to the Fourth Master now."
Gu Momo pondered for a moment, then slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Since our conversation with the Fourth Master was witnessed, we must act quickly! We need to go find Ye Nanting now to check on the situation!"
"good!"
Time did not allow them to hesitate, and Gu Momo and Li Zhanting immediately rushed to Ye Nanting's courtyard.
At this moment, Ye Nanting had just come out of the Fourth Master's courtyard and was immersed in deep grief.
Upon seeing Gu Momo and Li Zhanting arrive, Ye Nanting immediately wiped away his tears and respectfully went to greet them.
"Miss Gu, Mr. Li! May I ask what brings you here?"
Li Zhanting smiled and said, "Momo wasn't feeling well just now, so we went back first. That's why we haven't found out about Fourth Master's situation yet. We thought that since Third Young Master's courtyard is relatively close, we came here specifically to ask about it."
Upon hearing Li Zhanting's words, Ye Nanting's cold eyes narrowed, revealing a chilling light.
Then, a deep sorrow flashed in his eyes: "There's no need to ask those two anymore, my fourth uncle is dead."
"What?" Gu Momo and Li Zhanting were still shocked, even though they had already guessed it.
Then Ye Nanting said sadly, "When we sent people to put out the fire, we found my fourth uncle's body. The body was almost completely burned, but through technical means, we can tell that it was my fourth uncle, so there should be no mistake."
Gu Momo and Li Zhanting were slightly shocked, but they still politely said, "Please accept our condolences."
Ye Nanting chuckled: "I'm sorry Mr. Li and Miss Gu had to laugh at this. Our Shao family was reorganized into the Ye family, and we thought we had escaped this calamity, but we didn't expect to still fall into the shadows in the end."
Gu Momo said politely, "This matter is not your fault. You have already done your best."
"We've already received the news, so we won't disturb you any longer."
Ye Nanting respectfully saw them off, saying, "Then Miss Gu and Mr. Li, please take your time."
"Okay." Gu Momo and Li Zhanting were about to take a step when Gu Momo immediately gave Li Zhanting a look.
Li Zhanting immediately understood and, taking advantage of the moment Ye Nanting took a step, suddenly kicked a pebble to Ye Nanting's feet.
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Nanting's eyes, and he kicked the stone away.
But the sharp glint in his eyes vanished in an instant, and he then stepped onto a stone, nearly falling over.
"Mr. Ye!" Li Zhanting immediately stepped forward to help Ye Nanting up. "Mr. Ye, are you alright?"
"It's okay, I'm fine..." Ye Nanting quickly thanked Li Zhanting with a smile, while also feeling lingering fear because his kick had almost exposed his identity.
Li Zhanting smiled and said, "I'm relieved that you're alright. I'm sorry about just now. I'm not familiar with this place, and I accidentally kicked a rock. I didn't expect it to come straight at your feet, Mr. Ye..."
Ye Nanting's facial muscles twitched slightly: "It's alright, it's normal for Mr. Li to be unfamiliar with the environment here."
With that, he respectfully extended his hand to see Li Zhanting and Gu Momo off: "Mr. Li, Ms. Gu, this way please."
"good."
As Li Zhanting and Gu Momo took their first steps, Ye Nanting's piercingly cold eyes flashed with a menacing killing intent.
He concealed the murderous intent in his eyes with a sinister look as he watched Li Zhanting and Gu Momo leave.
As soon as Gu Momo and Li Zhanting disappeared from sight, Ye Nanting immediately took out his phone and made a call.
Soon, a rough voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's going on? How's the situation on your end?"
Ye Nanting sneered coldly, "Li Zhanting and Gu Momo have already become suspicious of me. I'm afraid they'll soon find out the truth! You've been hiding your identity from Gu Momo and Li Zhanting for so long, have you actually gained their trust?"
Upon hearing this, the voice on the other end of the phone seemed to scoff: "Heh..."
"You really don't trust my ability to disguise myself? My ability to disguise my voice and appearance is already superb. Even the leader of the alliance praises me highly. How could I not have gained their trust?"
"Alright!" Ye Nanting's voice was almost impatient:
"The Alliance Leader can't wait any longer! Quickly take Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's blood jade rings with you and hand them over to the Alliance Leader! As for the other blood jade ring, it should be in Ye Sijue's hands. The Alliance Leader has already sent someone to retrieve it!"
"Okay! I know how important this is, I'll hang up now!"
"Be careful, make sure Gu Momo and Li Zhanting find out."
After Ye Nanting finished speaking, he hung up the phone, his piercing eyes filled with a deathly coldness.
The alliance leader's goal is within reach, and we absolutely cannot let Gu Momo and Li Zhanting ruin it!
Meanwhile, Gu Momo and Li Zhanting had already quickly walked out of the courtyard where Ye Nanting was.
Gu Momo glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then quickly pulled Li Zhanting aside: "How is it? What's the situation?"
“I’ve already checked, and his ribs are intact, not broken at all. If the information provided by Fourth Master is completely correct, then we can be almost certain that Ye Qingfeng’s son, Ye Nanting, is an imposter from the Emperor Killing Alliance.”
Upon hearing Li Zhanting's affirmative statement, Gu Momo felt a chill run down her spine.
According to their investigation, Ye Ruyu, the daughter of the eldest master Ye Xichen, Ye Nanting, the son of the third master Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Wanqing, the daughter of the fourth master Ye Wanjun, are almost all members of the Emperor Killing Alliance!
And what a coincidence that they were all descendants of the Shao family who were impersonated!
