"Wrong."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Zhao Zhiyuan was puzzled, looking at Wang Wenqing with a blank expression.

"I mean what you did later was wrong."

"The way you handled it at first wasn't bad, but what came after was completely superfluous."

Wang Wenqing said indifferently, "If you hadn't gone to talk to other sophomores about this matter afterward, even if he had suspicions, they would just remain suspicions."

"But with those unnecessary actions you did later, he can basically confirm now that there is definitely a problem with you."

As Wang Wenqing spoke, he also pondered, "However, he probably hasn't suspected me yet. Let's pause the plan and leak the news that the Purple Ancient Ginseng has been acquired."

"Ah? Why?"

Zhao Zhiyuan did not understand; he had been preparing for so long, and now as they were about to enter the All Clans Battlefield, the plan was to be paused.

"From what Mu Qianshan told you, it's certain that he will enter the All Clans Battlefield. Since that's the case, our goal has been achieved."

Wang Wenqing tapped on the table, "But don't spread the news too quickly, just follow the original plan step by step. It's best to wait until Mu Qianshan enters the All Clans Battlefield before advancing the news of the Purple Ancient Ginseng being obtained."

"Yes."

Although Zhao Zhiyuan was somewhat reluctant, he still nodded in agreement.

Wang Wenqing glanced at Zhao Zhiyuan faintly, "Continue doing things following your ideas. What you've promised them, maintain it after they return from the All Clans Battlefield. This will completely dispel his suspicions about you."

"Yes."

"Don't be doing any more superflous things, you may leave now."

After finishing, Wang Wenqing gestured for Zhao Zhiyuan to leave.

Ah, the Purple Ancient Ginseng, it is merely a motivation, the lure to get them into the All Clans Battlefield.

Now that they have decided to enter the All Clans Battlefield, whether or not that motivation exists is no longer important.

What needs to be done now is to dispel their suspicions, to prevent those suspicions from falling onto oneself.

Wang Wenqing looked at the pen in his hand and smiled.

Didn't expect Jiang Yuan to have someone clever by his side.

As Wang Wenqing said, after finding out about the things Zhao Zhiyuan did after leaving his house, Mu Qianshan had essentially confirmed Zhao Zhiyuan's suspicion.

Too deliberate.

Before seeking him out, he had never mentioned anything about this, but after seeking him out again, he went to several people in a row to talk about it.

But, what is his purpose?

Although Zhao Zhiyuan's suspicion had practically been confirmed.

Mu Qianshan still wasn't very clear about what Zhao Zhiyuan's thoughts were.

What is his purpose?

To let us go to the All Clans Battlefield, and then what?

To kill us in the All Clans Battlefield?

But why? We don't have any grudges.

And if he doesn't intend to kill us, then what for?

Mu Qianshan was confused; he thought hard for a long time but couldn't understand what Zhao Zhiyuan's purpose was.

What good does it do him?

Even with Jiang Yuan also involved, he couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhiyuan wanted by having them enter the All Clans Battlefield.

"Still can't figure it out?"

Seeing Mu Qianshan still frowning in thought, Jiang Yuan, who was somewhat curious, asked.

"No, I really can't figure out what his purpose is, nor can I understand the significance behind his actions," said Mu Qianshan, with a headache.

"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. He wants us to go to the All Clans Battlefield, right? Then I will just go in and have a look."

Jiang Yuan patted Mu Qianshan and said with a smile, "What if he really just wants the various precious materials from the burst of the Grotto Heaven Secret Treasure?"

"So what you mean is that I'm ascribing my base motives onto an honorable person."

Mu Qianshan was puzzled, "Or am I just being paranoid?"

"And the suspicion I had before that the Purple Ancient Ginseng was bait, has indeed recently appeared on the All Clans Battlefield."

"That just proves you've been overthinking it."

"No, it's too deliberate."

Mu Qianshan was irritated, "Too deliberate, just as I confirmed my suspicion of Zhao Zhiyuan, the news about the Purple Ancient Ginseng turned out to be true."

"But the problem is, Zhao Zhiyuan has absolutely no reason, not even a point to doing such a thing."

Mu Qianshan was going crazy, and Jiang Yuan could only offer awkward comfort.

He never liked to overthink things.

So he couldn't be much help with this situation either.

"Alright, when are we entering the All Clans Battlefield?"

After panicking for a while, Mu Qianshan quickly recovered and asked Jiang Yuan.

"According to reliable sources, the burst of the Grotto Heaven Secret Treasure is happening in the next few days. Most sophomores who can enter the All Clans Battlefield have already gone in."

"Then let's do it in these next few days as well."

Jiang Yuan nodded, although he was still a little shy of breaking through to the late Xuanxiao stage, he thought that his current strength shouldn't pose any problems.

Nezha's regular equipment was also mostly complete.

Shi Ji had replaced her five Skills, and two Skill Cards she crafted herself were also slotted in.

In addition to the Taia Sword and another card that had been made.
