Chapter 117 The Identity of the Insider

"Teacher Yang Yuan??"

Bai Tao and Bai Xiaoling seemed to have noticed that figure.

All three of them looked surprised.

Xu Ye's expression moved slightly, and he immediately went in the direction where the figure disappeared.

He turned the corner and saw Yang Yuan's figure appearing at the end of the alley, turning into the shadows.

He quickly caught up, only to find that the front was empty, and there was no one left.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Bai Tao and Bai Xiaoling also caught up, looking at Xu Ye who was frowning in thought, both showing puzzled expressions.

"Strange thing." Xu Ye touched his chin and muttered to himself, "In this assessment, we are completely disconnected from several teachers."

"It's impossible for us to contact them, and it's impossible for them to be in the city."

"But why does Teacher Yang Yuan appear here?"

He stared straight ahead.

The direction in which Yang Yuan disappeared was exactly the direction they were going.

"Is Teacher Yang Yuan out for a walk?" Bai Tao blinked and said.

"There are still traces in this direction, maybe he is in front." Xu Ye lowered his head and looked at the ground.

Although the traces are not obvious, there are still traces of some people moving on the ground.

He thought briefly for half a second, and then chased after him without hesitation.

"Are we really going to catch up?" Bai Xiaoling followed Xu Ye closely, showing a worried look.

"I'm a little curious why Teacher Yang Yuan appears here." Xu Ye walked forward calmly, but his expression was a bit unpredictable and leisurely.

"And our destination is also in this direction, so there's nothing wrong with going and taking a look."

The few people continued to move forward following the traces. After walking for about fifteen minutes, a series of ruins suddenly appeared in the distance.

This is Haicheng Art Museum.

Three years ago, under the attack of virtual beasts, half of the buildings were reduced to ruins and collapsed, and they have not yet been rebuilt.

When he saw the ruins, Xu Ye's expression suddenly froze.

Countless memories rushed into his mind, but he quickly suppressed them.

Just as he was about to move forward, very far ahead, Yang Yuan's figure appeared again like a ghost.

This time, he actually got into the ruins and disappeared.

"He's in!" Bai Tao's eyes widened with confusion on his face.

As a teacher, why is Yang Yuan here?

Isn't that where the spirit beads are stored?

"Let's go take a look." Xu Ye looked calm and walked directly towards the ruins.

"Wait!" Bai Xiaoling suddenly pulled him, her face a little nervous and urgent, "This is too weird!"

"Don't you think this is strange?"

"How could that teacher Yang Yuan appear here?"

"Oh?" Xu Ye stopped and showed a confused expression, "Is there anything strange about this?"

"Perhaps there was an excessively fierce battle here, so maybe Teacher Yang Yuan came here to stop it."

"Think about it carefully!" Bai Xiaoling looked a little excited and pulled Xu Ye's sleeve hard to prevent him from moving forward.

"On the way here, we were attacked by virtual beasts!"

"The people who attacked us not only knew our route, but were also able to set up an ambush in advance and escape."

"This means that our whereabouts are likely to be exposed!"

"That teacher Yang Yuan was assigned here suddenly. Don't you think he is strange?"

"Is that so?!" Xu Ye put on a "surprised" look and looked at Bai Xiaoling in surprise, "Do you mean that Teacher Yang Yuan is the one who revealed our whereabouts?"

"Is he a mole arranged by the enemy here?"

"This is very likely!" Bai Xiaoling nodded nervously, "Besides, we were almost led here by him just now. This is really weird."

"Why don't we try to find other spiritual bead locations first, and don't go near here for the time being."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Xu Ye nodded in agreement, but quickly added, "But we can't contact a few teachers now."

"If we just leave like this, wouldn't other students be in danger when they get here?"

He patted his chest righteously and put on a "righteous and awe-inspiring" look: "We are all here to become Void Hunters!"

"If that teacher Yang Yuan is really a traitor, we have the obligation to expose him!"

"Are you crazy?" Bai Xiaoling's eyes widened. She didn't expect Xu Ye, who had always been smart, to say such a thing.

"Teacher Yang Yuan exists in the mountain realm. How can the three of us be his opponents?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Xu Ye looked directly into Bai Xiaoling's eyes and asked this question with a half-smile.

"We can't contact a few teachers right now. Do we have to stand here to prevent other students from approaching?"

"The fact that Teacher Yang Yuan is a traitor is just a guess on your part. There is no evidence to confirm it."

"If he is not a traitor, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up on this assessment?"

"I..." Bai Xiaoling's expression changed, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Hunters always regard protection as their first priority." Xu Ye kept smiling and said "righteous words".

"Since there is danger ahead and we are aware of the danger."

"Then we have the obligation to investigate and prevent these things from happening!"

"Don't worry, the teachers should be able to sense our behavior in the city."

"If we really encounter any danger, I think Instructor Lianshou and Teacher Cangwei will find it first."

"But you are right. If we go rashly, it may not be safe."

He suddenly pulled Bai Tao over and lowered his head to say a few words to the latter's ear.

Bai Tao's eyes gradually widened, as if he heard something incredible.

"What did you say?!"

He exclaimed and jumped back a step.

"That's it, thank you for your trouble." Xu Ye's face was indifferent, with a smile on his lips.

"This..." Bai Tao's face was complicated, his eyes kept turning between the two, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After saying this, he shrank into the ground and disappeared on the spot.

"Hmm?" Bai Xiaoling was confused, "What did you say to him?"

"Nothing, just to ensure our safety." Xu Ye smiled and turned around, heading towards the ruins of the art gallery without looking back.

Bai Xiaoling hurriedly trotted to catch up, still urgently saying: "Xu Ye, let's really think about it again."

"Although we have no evidence that Teacher Yang Yuan is the traitor."

"But we don't want to let ourselves go deep into danger like this!"

"Why don't we observe here for an hour and see what happens?"

"There is absolutely no need to do this." Xu Ye said in a relaxed tone, and kept walking forward, "Teacher Yang Yuan can't be the traitor."

He smiled and said calmly: "Because the traitor has always been you, Bai Xiaoling."
