Chen Yi stood at the back of the hall.
Because they were short-term exchange students, there were no seats reserved for them in the venue. Being able to stand and listen was already a good privilege.
If it were Cangyan or Jiuding High School, they probably wouldn't even have the right to enter.
"Brother Feng, have we started calculating?" Chen Yi asked telepathically.
Zhou Lianfeng's voice came through: "Let it go, let it go!"
"The number of people who glanced at the dice and then stopped paying attention was 566."
"Two hundred people took a second look. These people may have been curious or didn't look carefully and wanted to take another look."
He calculated and broadcast the results quickly.
"Nine people stared at the dice for extended periods or looked at them frequently..."
"How can there be so many?" Chen Yi asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, with such a great figure and looks, it's normal for her to have a few crazy admirers. Maybe they're wondering who gave her the bracelet?" Zhou Lianfeng said with a wicked grin.
Chen Yi: "......"
The Thief of Heaven Sect remains quite mysterious to the students.
Not to mention their iconic dice, many people have never even heard of the Thief of Heaven Sect.
Therefore, the person who will truly and continuously pay attention to the dice is likely to be the target of this trip.
"We've initially identified nine suspicious individuals. We'll see if we can gradually investigate them further..." Zhou Lianfeng said, sounding somewhat tired.
Divination and similar practices involve too many calculations, thus consuming a great deal of mental energy.
Even he, a powerful soul cultivator, felt a trace of fatigue.
"Don't let your guard down. If it really is someone from the Thief Heaven Sect, they might also be eyeing that die," Chen Yi warned.
"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it!"
Zhou Lianfeng yawned. "Speaking of which, since this is fishing, why don't we have Manli try to create some opportunities and see if we can reel it in now?"
Chen Yi naturally understood what Feng Ge meant.
He was gambling, betting that the people from the Thief Heaven Sect would be careless and go after Manli.
In fact, even if he hadn't said it, Manli herself had already decided to do it.
"Clap clap clap!"
After she finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
She then excused herself to get some fresh air and temporarily left the venue.
Zhou Lianfeng and Chen Yi kept a close eye on the situation from behind.
Soon, two men also stood up and left the venue.
Chen Yi stared in the direction the two men had gone, but did not follow.
If these two are truly from the Thief of Heaven Sect, following them now would be far too conspicuous...
He suppressed his emotions.
Soon, he received a message from Manli.
"No one is following me."
"What a scare..."
It turns out that the two men had just gone out to use the restroom.
After all, those first and second-year high school students are still inexperienced and have to go to the toilet just like ordinary people.
By the time I reached my senior year of high school, I gradually went to the toilet less often, sometimes only once every few days...
In fact, quite a few people left the meeting briefly during the session, making it even more difficult to judge.
......
Outside the stadium, Manli finished getting some fresh air and was preparing to go back.
At that moment, a boy's figure approached from behind her.
The person's footsteps were very light, but Manli heard them keenly.
She suddenly turned her head.
But there was nothing behind him...
"Gone?"
A hint of surprise and doubt arose in her heart.
......
At this moment, two figures appeared on the top of the guild hall building.
"You almost ruined my plans!"
The older person scolded the younger person.
The young man asked, "Why? Isn't she also a member of our Thief Heaven Sect?"
The older man, with a somber expression, said, "Not necessarily."
Members of the Thief of Heaven Sect are all strangers unless they have met before.
When they were out and about, they relied entirely on dice to confirm each other's identities.
"Then why did you stop me from going forward to confirm?" the young man asked, somewhat puzzled.
“I’m afraid there’s something fishy about this!” the older man said, frowning.
He was so cautious because two more fellow disciples had gone missing a few days earlier.
A master of "Tasting with the Tongue and Thinking with the Heart," and a prodigy with "Desire for Opinion."
The two people last disappeared in the Crimson Dragon Mountains.
The sect now suspects that the two of them did not simply disappear, but have already perished...
“I checked the number on the die in Manli’s hand; it’s a six. And it shouldn’t be a fake; it’s definitely one of our sect’s dice.”
"However, among the people who disappeared in the Crimson Dragon Mountains some time ago, there was also a branch of the Opinion Desire faction, and before that, Chu Qi, who was captured in Cangyan, was also a person of Opinion Desire."
"The side that desires opinions likes to recruit young prodigies. Although Manli has excellent aptitude and potential, she has not shown any signs of being related to our sect before."
"The sudden appearance of the dice... is it a deliberate ploy to trick us?"
After listening to the older man's analysis, the young man was sweating profusely.
If that's the case, then he almost fell into a trap.
"Regardless of whether this Manli is being directed by someone, there are still less than half a month before the plan is implemented. Even if she is truly a fellow disciple, do not have any contact with her. Do not look at her, do not approach her, and do not disturb her!"
"As long as we don't reveal the dice or our identities, she's a newcomer and shouldn't even know I exist," the elder said confidently.
It should be noted that the person who personally arranged for him to carry out this mission was a big shot within the Thief Heaven Sect.
Even among the people in the "Opinion Desire" department, few knew their identities.
Let alone a newcomer?
"If she's telling the truth, then we'll be fine. If she's using a fake identity and is really plotting something, then we'll have to pretend we don't know. As long as we're not exposed, we have to stall until the plan is implemented!"
After giving his instructions, the elder vanished from the top of the building in a flash.
The young man returned to the venue, but dared not stare at Manli's wrist any longer.
Chen Yi looked at the latest message sent by Man Li.
"Sorry, it seemed like someone was following me, but when I turned around, they were gone."
"Oh? Such a good thing?" Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly.
Zhou Lianfeng glanced at the screen and couldn't help but smile: "This is indeed a good thing!"
To be able to rescue someone from Manli, a Qi Refining Stage 10 cultivator, one must be at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage, right?
According to Ma Xiao's deduction, one of the two from the Thief Heaven Sect has a strong aura, while the other has a weak aura. They can't possibly be matched up, can they?
Immediately afterwards, he delved into the cause and effect and destiny of those nine people.
Upon calculation, it was indeed discovered that there was an exceptionally thick causal line.
Generally, these kinds of causes and effects are things that Zhou Lianfeng can't afford to offend.
"Next, I only need to use three years of my lifespan to forcibly deduce where the owner of this causal line went in the last few minutes and which of those nine people he came into contact with, and then I can draw a conclusion..." Zhou Lianfeng muttered to himself.
What was said unintentionally may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Chen Yi's eyelids twitched violently as he listened.
Holy crap, that's ruthless, are they really risking their lives?
However, this only further confirms Feng Ge's yearning for freedom...
Even if it costs me three years of my lifespan, I'll still find out who that guy is. Tell me, isn't that cunning?
Chen Yi sighed inwardly: Brother Feng is indeed a ruthless person!
