The moment Tao Yi Xuan saw her like this, he knew that he had guessed the truth. However, without waiting for him to continue, Sima You Yue said, “If you want to know about someone’s issues, you have to have the strength first. Otherwise, you will give them false hope only to disappoint them later on.”

After saying this, she stood up and left.

As for Tao Yi Xuan, he felt solemn as he watched her walk away.

After Sima You Yue left his tent, she saw Guo Yin Da and the others interrogating the Tang Clansmen. When Tao Yi Xuan heard their voices, he went out as well.

Guo Yi Da saw Tao Yi Xuan emerge and walked over to bow to him, saying, “Young Master, we never expected that Tang Fei would be so stubborn. We’ve been questioning him for so long, but we haven’t gotten any results. I’m thinking that the pressure from above is so great that he does not dare tell us what he knows.”

“For him to betray the clan and do something like that, if not for property, then he must have done it for money. However, if his goal was so simple, you would have been able to get some results by now.” Sima You Yue looked at Tang Fei lying on the ground. It seemed like he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.

“You’re saying that he has a special reason?”

“Naturally.” Sima You Yue said, “If it were you guys, if it did not endanger your lives, would you help that person protect his secret?”

“I wouldn’t.” Guo Yi Da shook his head, “I would have found an opportunity to commit suicide.”

“…”

Sima You Yue felt like they were on different wavelengths. He was an honest person, wasn’t he?

“That person must have given him an ultimatum, which is why he has to grit his teeth and remain silent even at this point in time. In any case, he would die whether or not he spoke, so to protect the people behind him, he would naturally choose to protect his family.” Tao Yi Xuan said.

Sima You Yue looked at him with an appraising look.

“What do we do, then?” Guo Xin had been interrogating Guo Fei for the past two days, but no matter what he did, Tang Fei refused to say a thing. It had quickly extinguished his confidence.

Tao Yi Xuan walked over and squatted beside Tang Fei, inspecting something. He said, “He hasn’t been poisoned, so it seems like he’s not being controlled by poison. That means the highest possibility is that… there is a seal on his consciousness. If he dares to say anything about the person, he will immediately explode and die.”

“Does that mean we cannot find out anything?” Guo Yin Da said.

Tao Yi Xuan was rather disappointed. If they could find out who was the person behind Tang Fei, they would have a lead at least. However, it seemed like they wouldn’t be able to get a lead at all.

“Hehe…” At this time, Tang Fei actually laughed and his laughter was arrogant. “You are right. There is a seal that the people above have placed on my consciousness. As long as it senses a single bit of my situation, I will lose my life. You better not dream of getting any information for me! Hahahaha-”

“You’re still uttering such cheap words even at a time like this!” Guo Xin stepped harshly on his back, “Don’t you want to die? I’ll fulfill your wish!”

After saying this, he shot out a burst of spirit energy, targeting his head!

“Wait!” Sima You Yue, who had been silent the entire time, was shocked as she stopped Guo Xin’s hand in midair.

“You Yue, what’s wrong? You couldn’t be interceding on this dead person’s behalf, right?” Guo Xin looked at her disapprovingly.

“I don’t have any relationship with him, why would I plead for him?” Sima You Yue said with a shrug.

“Then why did you stop me?”
