Once Fang Zhengzhi’s question came, Zhang Yangping and the rest of the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad suddenly quietened down. Looking around, their gaze fleeted among one another.
Zhang Yangping looked at Fang Zhengzhi, his mouth moved. A few times, he wanted to speak, but yet swallowed his words.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that this question would be tough to answer, but if he didn’t understand the truth, he would definitely be unsatisfied.
But, he didn’t rush them. Because, he knew that if he forced Zhang Yangping and the hunting squad, the answer he received would probably not be true.
They had to be truly willing to do it.
A few of the Northern Mountain Village, seeing that both Zhang Yangping and Fang Zhengzhi remained silent, began to peel off the Blue Fire Wolf’s skin. Witnessing this scene, Fang Zhengzhi mind wavered, and finally made a firm resolution.
”Little brother, what is your name?”
”Fang Zhengzhi.”
”Oh, Fang Zhengzhi, honest and upright in your conduct [1] … a good name indeed! Previously, I only knew little brother Zhengzhi as a sneak attacker, who knew that you would be such a truly brave and intelligent person!” Zhang Yangping praised Fang Zhengzhi. Then, he paused and sighed. ”Not only did little brother Zhengzhi save my life, you saved the lives of the entire Northern Mountain Village hunting squad, and even eliminated the Blue Fire Wolf for all the villages within the area. I won’t hide anymore, but I indeed feel rather guilty!”
”The reason is… we had already acquired your Southern Mountain Village pitfall location map.” As he spoke, Zhang Yangping retrieved a yellowish hand-drawn illustration from his pocket and passed it over to Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi saw at the yellow illustration Zhang Yangping handed over.
He became really infuriated.
All the effort and time he had spent was actually taken away by other people just like this?
This was an act of piracy!
Shameless!
Who did this?! Only the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad possessed the Rock Formation Illustration, it simply couldn’t have spread!
Was it Wang Anhua?! Fang Zhengzhi thought of a person, but quickly dismissed that thought. As a Sir from the Hall of Dao, receiving the most honourable treatment possible from the Southern Mountain Village, and also having no conflict of interest at all with him, there was simply no need to do such a thing!
Conflict of interest…
Pondering carefully, the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad seemed to have long been hiding in ambush. Furthermore, when they appeared, they evidently didn’t know about the presence of the Blue Fire Wolf.
Else, they couldn’t have run away immediately after seeing the Blue Fire Wolf leap out from the pitfall.
That means, everything that happened was directed at him.
”It’s Li Zhuangshi!” In a flash, Fang Zhengzhi was certain. It was definitely Li Zhuangshi’s doing. Because, only as the previous deputy captain of the hunting squad could he had acquired the Rock Formation Illustration.
”I… I never thought that little brother Zhengzhi actually guessed it so quickly. It is indeed Li Zhuangshi who gave us the illustration!” After hearing Fang Zhengzhi utter the two words Li Zhuangshi, he was instantly taken aback.
He had guessed who the betrayer was based on one sentence. Wasn’t this a little too smart?
A shiver went down Zhang Yangping’s back. He was only seven? Such great wisdom and such great strength, this was simply something that came out of a nightmare!
As the previous deputy captain of the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad, Li Zhuangshi had naturally met with Zhang Yangping before.
Although Zhang Yangping didn’t understand Li Zhuangshi’s intentions, but one thing was for sure. Being in possession of that pitfall location map could only benefit the Northern Mountain Village. There was no harm.
But…
The current circumstances seemed to have went beyond expectations.
