Chapter 785: The Appearance of an Internal Traitor 🕵️‍♂️

Published: November 30, -0001

One must say, Xu Bo's efficiency is quite fast.

On the same day, a grand celebration was immediately held in the Alchemy Pavilion.

All the elders, stewards, and managers were invited over, without missing a single one.

The entire Alchemy Pavilion was bustling with activity.

Xu Bo watched the excited crowd below, frequently raising his cup.

Even the Pavilion Master, Zhuo Qingfeng, drank quite a bit.

That evening.

Everyone was drunkenly merry, and by the time the banquet ended, Xu Bo and the others could barely stand.

Throughout the process, although one elder from the Alchemy Pavilion drank a lot and appeared intoxicated, he was actually very clear-headed.

“Elder Xu, I never expected our Alchemy Pavilion to have such astonishing elixir formulas. If the Leng family dares to confront us, they are simply seeking death.”

“Hahaha, the Leng family is indeed digging their own grave.”

During the banquet, many elders cursed the Leng family.

“Hehe, you are all spot on. The Leng family is indeed seeking death. This formula was obtained by me from an ancient ruin. Initially, I didn’t want to release it so soon, as I was just experimenting in the refining room. Who would have known that the Leng family would dare to trouble our Alchemy Pavilion? Hahaha, so I brought it out directly.”

Xu Bo said proudly, then nearly dozed off in a daze.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was attentive.

One elder at the table suddenly showed a hint of excitement in his eyes.

After the banquet ended.

Everyone began to leave.

In the stillness of the night, a figure quickly appeared in Elder Xu Bo's refining room.

The person carefully checked the surroundings, and after finding no issues, cautiously opened Elder Xu's refining room and began searching inside.

At that moment, the person did not notice that within Xu Bo's refining room, a hidden monitoring formation had been continuously observing everything inside.

“Elder Ma, that traitor is actually Elder Ma Bing.”

Upon seeing the shadow in the darkness, Zhuo Qingfeng and Xu Bo instantly revealed anger.

Ma Bing had served as an elder in the Alchemy Pavilion for many years, known for being diligent and amiable with several others.

Moreover, he had previously had conflicts with Jin Yuan, and their relationship was not harmonious, while he was relatively on good terms with Xu Bo.

Thus, no one expected he would turn out to be a spy for the Leng family.

After searching in the refining room for a moment, Ma Bing's eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickly found an ancient formula in a concealed spot on the refining platform, took a glance, quickly pocketed it, and then hurriedly left the refining room.

“Trying to leave? Block him.”

Zhuo Qingfeng and Xu Bo's figures swayed as they were about to charge out, but were instantly stopped by Qin Chen.

“Let him go.”

“Mr. Chen, what are you doing...?”

Zhuo Qingfeng and Xu Bo were both stunned.

Then their eyes brightened: “Mr. Chen, you wouldn’t have placed a fake formula in my refining room to deceive the Leng family, would you?”

Xu Bo knew full well that there were no formulas in his refining room, and he said this just to see who the traitor really was.

However, just now, Ma Bing had indeed found a formula, which could only mean one thing: it was placed there by Qin Chen when he set up the monitoring formation.

Furthermore, since Qin Chen wanted to let the other party go, Zhuo Qingfeng and Xu Bo quickly pieced together this possibility.

“That's right, the formula was indeed placed by me, but it is not a fake formula; it is the genuine formula for three new types of elixirs!”

“What?”

Zhuo Qingfeng and Xu Bo thought they had misheard, their eyes wide: “Mr. Chen, what did you say?”

“I said the formula that the other party obtained is indeed genuine,” Qin Chen smiled.

Zhuo Qingfeng and Xu Bo were completely bewildered.

In an instant, they were nearly in tears.

What exactly is Mr. Chen doing? They completely could not understand.

“Don't you know what I'm doing?” Qin Chen laughed as he looked at the two: “Gather everyone immediately, and I will tell you what I am really doing.”
