"What makes you say that?" Shi Xingyi had already investigated this group of hypocritical people before he came. Although not all of them were hypocritical, and some were chivalrous people, there were too many hypocrites among them.
The Shadow Cult is now taking the blame for so many things, and all the bad things they keep talking about, how many of them were actually done by themselves? They're just shifting the blame onto the Shadow Cult.
They are trying to use this method to hide their dark thoughts and get rid of the sins they don't want to have.
"I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just felt like something was really off about them."
Shi Xingyi tapped his fingertips lightly on the stone table, then suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, Canglan Pavilion, like Linjing Pavilion, has a secret disciple who is specifically responsible for investigating outside news."
"Huh?" Shi Lan looked completely bewildered.
Shi Xingyi glanced at him and then said, "Didn't you think about investigating them before you came?"
Shi Lan paused slightly, and only after hearing what he said did she suddenly realize that she had indeed come without doing any investigation. After arriving, she felt that something was wrong. Although she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange, she just felt that something was off.
Now that I hear what he said, I suddenly feel like I was really stupid. Why didn't I do any research before coming? Look at other people, they all did their research before coming, and I just came like a complete fool.
“Shi Lan, many people are not as they seem on the surface. A person’s life is not just about learning martial arts. I think your father wanted you to experience the human heart more than just investigate the Dream Induction Technique.”
To be honest, although Shi Lan did not investigate, his father could not possibly be completely unaware of anything. As the head of a sect, his father must have access to a lot of information, otherwise he would not even know when his sect was destroyed.
However, since he intended for Shi Lan to appear here, he must have made preparations or secretly sent people to protect him.
Shi Lan paused for a moment. He was indeed focused solely on martial arts training. The reason he hadn't done any investigation beforehand was not only because he hadn't considered this point at all, but also because he thought that everyone here was a chivalrous person. Even if some of them didn't speak very nicely, and even if the different sects were somewhat at odds, they were ultimately acting out of chivalry and wouldn't do anything bad. Therefore, he had no defenses against these people at all.
If his intuition hadn't told him something was wrong, he probably wouldn't have given it a second thought.
Shi Lan spends most of his time at home, occasionally going out with his disciples to train and do some chivalrous deeds, but he is always with them and rarely goes out alone to meet someone or get to know what kind of person they are.
Shi Xingyi didn't really dislike Shi Lan. Although their relationship wasn't as close as before, they were still blood relatives, and Shi Lan was his cousin. The two families weren't as bad as they claimed; they had maintained contact over the years.
Unbeknownst to them, the disciples of Linjing Pavilion had visited Canglan Pavilion countless times, and had also visited Linjing Pavilion countless times.
There is a competition every three years to test the strength of the disciples of the two families. Three years ago, Shi Xingyi fought with him in Linjing Pavilion and lost miserably. After that, he worked even harder to improve.
