Liu Song, upon hearing this, became furious and turned to Black-faced Commander, ”Cousin, bring him over.”

Chen Ba was quickly brought over by Commander Hei. As he approached, Liu Song looked at him and said, ”So you are the spy from White Tiger Hall?”

Chen Ba replied, ”That’s right, I am indeed a spy from White Tiger Hall!”

”Good grief, you’ve got some nerve, hiding out among us,” Liu Song said with a sneer. ”What are you up to now, coming out into the open? Defecting to our side?”

Liu Song glared at Chen Ba.

At that moment, Chen Ba said to Liu Song, ”Young Master, I am here on orders from our Hall Master to save your life.”

”On Chen Jiusi’s orders, to save my life?”

Liu Song burst out laughing at this, ”Interesting, interesting indeed! Chen Jiusi dares to plant a spy in my midst, and I haven’t yet settled scores with him, yet now he wishes to save my life, isn’t that hilarious?”

”Cousin, do you find it ridiculous?”

Commander Hei furrowed his brow.

”Zhao San, what do you think? Funny, isn’t it?”

Zhao San’s expression stiffened slightly, and he laughed nervously, ”Hehe, yes, how laughable.”

Liu Song laughed heartily at this and said, ”Ridiculous indeed, as if I would need him to save me.”

”Young Master.”

”Hmm?”

Liu Song turned to the Black-faced Commander who said, ”My Lord, I think we should listen to what he has to say!”

Liu Song glanced at the Black-faced Commander and said, ”Cousin, you think we should listen?”

The Black-faced Commander replied, ”We should indeed listen.”

”Fine, speak then. How exactly does Chen Jiusi plan to save my life?”

Chen Ba responded, ”Young Master, this matter is for your ears only, no one else should hear.”

Liu Song narrowed his eyes and said, ”Fine, I’ll listen to what you have to say alone.”

”Young Master, this man is devious and still spies for Chen Jiusi of the Fishing Guild’s White Tiger Hall. He surely harbors ill intentions. You must not allow him to meet with you alone. Allow me to accompany you!”

At this point, Zhao San stood up abruptly, looking every bit the loyal protector.

Liu Song looked surprisingly at Zhao San’s intense reaction but did not suspect anything further, thinking perhaps that Zhao San was simply overly loyal.

Still, Liu Song was confident in his own abilities.

Being among the top three in the Iron Bone Realm and having been personally taught the Song Liu Swordsmanship by Elder Liu Laoguai, he was not to be trifled with. Certainly, he had no fear of this spy, whose Cultivation could at most be in the Refining Body Realm.

With that thought, Liu Song waved his hand and said, ”Alright, I’ll give you a chance. Cousin, Zhao San, step back further!”

Upon hearing this, the Black-faced Commander immediately left.

Zhao San, whose face turned as dark as ink, heard the Black-faced Commander call out, ”Zhao San, what are you waiting for? Come here.”

Zhao San’s expression turned uglier at those words. Why was there an ominous feeling creeping up? Could it be that his scheme had been uncovered? What should he do if he were exposed!

As these thoughts raced through his mind, he glanced at Chen Ba, feeling annoyed within. Chen Jiusi again! What exactly did he know?

As he pondered, the Black-faced Commander had already led him away.

Now, only Liu Song and Chen Ba remained.

Liu Song, with an air of calm, said to Chen Ba, ”Alright, now that it’s just the two of us, go ahead and speak.”

Chen Ba said, ”Zhao San is a traitor working for Nan Batian. Nan Batian has arranged for our Hall Master to come tonight to seize the batch of iron from your hands, to thwart the trade with the citizens of Tute, and then, amidst the chaos, Zhao San will assassinate you from behind and pin the blame on our Hall Master, thus igniting a battle between our Hall Master and your father!”

Liu Song’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing Chen Ba’s words, ”What? Zhao San is a traitor for Nan Batian and plans to assassinate me?”

Chen Ba said, ”Quietly, Young Master, we don’t want him to hear us.”

Liu Song looked in the direction of Zhao San.

Being guilty at heart, Zhao San felt uneasy as Liu Song’s gaze met his, though Liu Song, persuaded by Chen Ba, looked away, and Zhao San felt as if the truth were about to be revealed.

Liu Song also came to his senses and said to Chen Ba, ”You say Zhao San is a traitor just like that, why should I believe you?”

”Why wouldn’t you believe me?”

Liu Song said, ”Zhao San went through rigorous testing by my father before he became my guard and Deputy Commander.”

Chen Ba chuckled and said, ”Young Master, if I can be a spy from White Tiger Hall, why can’t Zhao San be a traitor for Nan Batian? Nan Batian has much more power than our Hall Master.”

Liu Song’s brow furrowed, and Chen Ba continued, ”That’s all I have to say, Young Master. Think on it carefully. If you don’t believe me, at least be wary of him.”

Liu Song’s brow remained deeply furrowed and he asked, ”Why would Chen Jiusi tell you to convey this to me?”

Chen Ba replied, ”As I said, our Hall Master doesn’t want any misunderstanding with Guild Leader Liu, and he certainly doesn’t wish for conflict.”

Liu Song looked at Chen Ba and chuckled, ”Haha, well, hey, I think you’re not bad. Ever thought of following me instead? Whatever Chen Jiusi offers you, I’ll double it.”

”Thank you for your generous offer, Mr. Liu, but what our Hall Master offers me, you can’t give.”

”What’s that?”

”Dignity.”

Liu Song frowned, not quite understanding, but still said, ”Well, fine, I’m aware of this now. You can leave. Tell Chen Jiusi if what you say is true, I, Liu Song, owe him a favor.”

Chen Ba took a step back at once.

Liu Song watched Chen Ba leave, his gaze hardening. Was Chen Jiusi telling the truth?

With that thought, Liu Song summoned both the Black-faced Commander and Zhao San.

Finally, Zhao San came forward and asked anxiously, ”Young Master, why did you let that spy go? What did he say?”

Liu Song smiled and then said to Zhao San, ”He told me that there’s a traitor among us working for Nan Batian, and that I’m to be assassinated tonight!”

Zhao San’s eyes bulged wide upon hearing this, and the Black-faced Commander was equally shocked, turning his gaze sharply toward Zhao San.

Zhao San tried to remain composed and said, ”Haha, Young Master, you mustn’t listen to his nonsense. Even if Nan Batian has great power, how could he plant a traitor so close to you? It must be that Chen Jiusi is talking rubbish, deceiving you.”

”Is that so? Zhao San, want to guess who Chen Jiusi said the traitor was?”

Zhao San hesitated, then said, ”Who?”

”You!”

Liu Song’s voice sharpened, and at that instant, Commander Hei drew his sword.

”Catch him!”

Liu Song roared in anger!
