Huangfu Yun still wanted to thank him, but Ye Bufan quickly waved his hand, asking Huangfu Yun to take good care of Huangfu Zheng. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Huangfu Yujia when he returned to Donghai.
"Alright!" Huangfu Yun nodded heavily. "My gratitude is beyond words. If you ever need my help, Huangfu Yun, I will repay the favor from my sister and grandfather."
Hearing this, Ye Bufan didn't say much more. He waved his hand and left the Huangfu family's camp, heading to other camps to treat the leaders of other families.
Time flew by, and it was already noon. Ye Bufan finished treating the last person and walked out of the tent. Sunlight filtered through the trees and into the forest.
"Ye Bufan." Ye Qingcheng walked towards Ye Bufan.
"Why are you here?" Ye Bufan asked curiously.
"My sister asked me to find you and provide you with some useful information," Ye Qingcheng said. "She said this information would help us leave this place."
"Oh?" Ye Bufan became even more curious as he listened to Ye Qingcheng.
"Sister Xun'er and Sister Ling'er discovered a valley in the southwest direction while familiarizing themselves with the terrain today. People from Sakura Island are guarding that valley," Ye Qingcheng said, then suddenly closed her mouth.
She transmitted her voice, speaking to Ye Bufan, "They found someone there who shouldn't have been in that place."
"A spy?" Ye Bufan's first reaction was that they had discovered a spy.
"Exactly." Ye Qingcheng gave Ye Bufan a name. Hearing the name, Ye Bufan couldn't quite believe it.
"Do you mean that with this person's existence, we have a chance to leave this place?" Ye Qingcheng asked.
Ye Bufan nodded. With this news, it meant they wouldn't be passively falling into the encirclement of the Sakura Island people anymore. They could use this person to turn the tide.
As the two spoke, Song Mingqin found Ye Bufan and said, "The leaders of several major sects just held a meeting. They plan to use tonight to break through by force, with the cultivators' families and the sects splitting into two groups to find a breakthrough."
"What? So suddenly? Isn't that too risky?" Ye Bufan asked Song Mingqin.
Song Mingqin sighed helplessly and said, "This was discussed by Senior Bai and Shangguan Chengtian."
After hearing this, Ye Bufan frowned deeply. Besides being sudden, the matter also seemed unusual. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Senior Song, didn't you try to persuade Senior Bai Zizhen?" Ye Bufan asked.
Judging by Song Mingqin's expression, Ye Bufan knew that Song Mingqin had likely tried to persuade Bai Zizhen, but it had no effect.
"I hope Senior Bai has his reasons for doing this," Ye Bufan sighed softly. Suddenly, he remembered the information Ye Qingcheng had just given him and quickly shared it with Song Mingqin.
"What? That's impossible?" Song Mingqin looked at Ye Bufan in shock. "Senior Song, I think the urgent matter now is to eliminate all the spies within the team. Otherwise, we will only suffer more losses if this continues."
"Regarding what you mentioned, after we came out, we conducted a cleansing of the traitors within the sects. We also identified several accomplices," Song Mingqin told Ye Bufan. "However, our current concern is that some traitors might be hidden very deeply, and we might not even be able to find them."
Ye Bufan and Ye Qingcheng exchanged glances. This scene was caught by Song Mingqin.
"Do you two know something?" Song Mingqin asked in confusion.
Ye Bufan chuckled and revealed the unexpected discovery Ye Qingcheng had told him to Song Mingqin.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Song Mingqin's reaction was very strong. He almost couldn't believe that the name Ye Bufan mentioned was a spy for Sakura Island.
"Could your people have mistaken them?" Song Mingqin looked at Ye Qingcheng.
"No, Sister Ling'er and Sister Xun'er confirmed it specifically," Ye Qingcheng explained to Song Mingqin.
Song Mingqin took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "I will get to the bottom of this. But if it is truly him, then he is a disgrace to their sect."
"Senior Song, what's wrong? Why do you look so angry?"
Just then, the Sect Master of Tian Yuan Sect, Chu Tai, walked over with a smile on his face.
Song Mingqin glanced at Chu Tai and did not answer his question. Instead, he retorted, "This doesn't look like the Tian Yuan Sect's camp. What are you doing here, Chu Tai?"
Chu Tai was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it time for the meeting? Senior Bai said we would split into two groups. Coincidentally, Tao Liangce is my friend, so I came to check on him and see if he needs any help."
"Fine," Song Mingqin said coldly. "If there's nothing else, we should head back to our camp and instruct our disciples to prepare well. We have a tough battle ahead tonight."
"Alright." Chu Tai clasped his hands in farewell to Song Mingqin.
Song Mingqin watched Chu Tai's retreating back with a complex expression in his eyes.
"His appearance here at this time is too ill-timed," Song Mingqin said. "I didn't want to believe it was him, but his behavior just now makes me suspicious."
"I think he's here to gather intelligence about the cultivators' families, to see if the news from the meeting is true," Ye Bufan said, narrowing his eyes.
Song Mingqin clenched his fist tightly and said, "He shouldn't. There's no reason for him to do this."
"Senior, what we should be worried about is whether our actions tonight will change because of him," Ye Bufan reminded Song Mingqin.
"Right. I'm going to find Senior Bai now and see if he can change the plan."
After saying that, Song Mingqin left. Ye Bufan and Ye Qingcheng exchanged glances and then walked towards their resting place.
As the sun began to set, Song Mingqin did not return to find Ye Bufan after he left, which made Ye Bufan a little puzzled.
"What's wrong? My dear brother, why the long face?" Ye Qingyi saw Ye Bufan looking distracted and sat down beside him.
Ye Bufan transmitted his worries to Ye Qingyi, but after hearing them, Ye Qingyi just laughed.
"So that's what it's about," Ye Qingyi said. "You're being silly. The suddenness of this matter is questionable. Bai Zizhen, considering the overall situation, would never risk everyone's lives."
"Could it be..." Ye Bufan seemed to have thought of something.
