Chapter 343 Wolf Ambition
Leng Feng quickly concealed his emotions. He felt a little flustered. Could it be that the young master knew about some of the things he and the thirteenth elder were plotting?

But how could that be?
If they had known, they wouldn't have waited until now to interrogate him.

Leng Feng really didn't understand this young master.

He didn't grow up in the Xuanyuan clan; he was only recently summoned back.

Moreover, after returning, he had many dealings with the clan leader and several important elders, while others were not qualified to have much contact with the young master.

Therefore, he did not understand his temperament, personality, or way of doing things.

If you don't understand, you won't know how to deal with it.

I can't fathom his thoughts at all.

Leng Feng's expression shifted a few times before he said, "Young Master, I was just discussing hunting-related matters with Elder Thirteen."

“I have not only discussed this with the Thirteenth Elder, but I have also met with the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Elders. There are many things to prepare, and we need to be thorough.”

Just to be on the safe side, he met with several more elders so that no one would know that the thirteenth elder had a problem.

He is usually very cautious in his actions, making sure not to leave any loopholes or handles.

He didn't know what was going on with the spirit stones in his residence, especially since they were all high-grade spirit stones.

Is the young master deliberately targeting him?
That's unlikely. If it were deliberately targeting him, they wouldn't have waited until now.

Previously, the young master valued him highly and entrusted him with important responsibilities.

Something must be wrong.

But he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

Or did someone betray him?
Yun Qinglan said calmly, "Oh, since you were fully prepared, how come you still attracted so many ferocious mutated beasts during the hunt?"

"Based on the hunting routes and reconnaissance, several ferocious mutated beasts should not have appeared in that place."

“I asked your Captain Liu, and he said that those beasts seemed to be specifically targeting him.”

"He suspected someone had set a trap for him. I had someone investigate, and sure enough, they found an extra spice in his insect repellent pouch. This spice is hard to detect when mixed in with the pouch, but it can attract mutated beasts and drive them mad. Am I right?"

As she spoke, Yun Qinglan took out the insect repellent kit that Captain Liu had previously prepared.

Leng Feng's pupils contracted when he saw this.

"Speak, why did you set this up? Why did you want to harm Captain Liu?"

Yun Qinglan started her interrogation by questioning him about these matters first. Otherwise, if she immediately asked him who his spy was and suspected him, he would definitely not confess, and it would arouse suspicion from everyone.

But by starting with these things, Leng Feng was firmly nailed down.

Everyone would hate Leng Feng for betraying and harming his own people. If people find out he is a spy at this time, they will be more likely to believe and accept it. Then, he can be used to find and deal with all the other spies, and no one will suspect anything.

As for this spice, it was his daughter Yao Yao who found it.

Leng Feng remained outwardly calm, but only he knew that he was panicking inside.

"Young Master, I have no idea. I know nothing. This insect repellent pack is uniformly produced and distributed by the clan."

Leng Feng refused to admit it.

Yun Qinglan had little patience. He took out the pill Su Muyao had given him and flicked it directly into Leng Feng's mouth.

It melted in his mouth, and even though Leng Feng wanted to vomit, it didn't help.

"Young Master, what did you feed me? You gave me poison! Young Master, I have always been loyal to you, yet you dare to slander and frame me."

“I know you don’t want me to be the captain. Young Master, just say so. I can give up being the captain, but I won’t admit to doing things I didn’t do.”

“I know that you didn’t grow up in the Xuanyuan Clan, and you don’t have any feelings for the Xuanyuan Clan…”

Even now, Leng Feng was still trying to incite the other guards around Yun Qinglan to be dissatisfied with her. Yun Qinglan remained calm and indifferent throughout, looking at the clamoring Leng Feng as if he were a clown.

Sure enough, the drug took effect shortly afterward, and Leng Feng immediately shut up, his eyes glazing over.

Yun Qinglan then asked, "Why did you want to harm Captain Liu?"

Leng Feng Machinery replied, "Because I want to be the captain. If Captain Liu doesn't step down, I won't be able to hold real power."

"Why not just let him die? Why save Captain Liu?"

Leng Feng's eyes were unfocused, and he continued to answer mechanically without control: "Even if Captain Liu retires, the team members will not accept me, and I will not be able to truly take control. Most of them are native noble beastmen from the inner city, who consider themselves superior. I am just an ordinary beastman from the outer city, so they will not accept me. But it will be different if I save Captain Liu. They will trust me and be grateful to me."

When Yun Qinglan interrogated them, she brought along many guards of orcs so that they could hear these words with their own eyes.

Everyone's expression changed drastically when they heard Leng Feng admit it so readily.

Yun Qinglan looked at them and asked, "What do you think?"

Everyone said angrily, "It was indeed him who harmed Captain Liu. He even pretended to be benevolent and righteous to save Captain Liu. We never suspected him."

"Yes, I knew it was strange. We scouted that route beforehand, and there shouldn't be any ferocious mutated beasts there. But suddenly, a lot of ferocious mutated beasts appeared that day. Our Captain Liu is so strong; if it weren't for the ferocious mutated beasts, he wouldn't have been injured at all."

"It's terrifying. If it hadn't been exposed this time, we would never have known how selfish and vicious he was."

"If he were to become our captain, he wouldn't know how to do the job."

"Several brothers died during the hunt. I remember now, those guys didn't like Leng Feng. They said in private that Leng Feng was hypocritical and that he was eliminating dissidents."

Everyone wanted to rush forward and kill Leng Feng.

At this moment, the clan chief, the first elder, and the second elder also arrived.

"Young Master, did you call us? Is there something you need?"

When the clan leader and the two elders saw Yun Qinglan, they looked at him with great interest, as if they were seeing the hope of the Xuanyuan clan.

Yun Qinglan said, "This junior only wishes to ask the clan leader and the two elders to hear Leng Feng's testimony."

Although the clan leader and the two elders were surprised and didn't know what Leng Feng had done, they trusted Yun Qinglan and sat down with him.

Yun Qinglan continued to ask, "Why are you in such a hurry to become the team leader? Or is there some mission you're undertaking?"

"My master ordered me to create chaos in the Xuanyuan clan during the sacrificial ceremony, kill the young master of the Xuanyuan clan, and prevent the Xuanyuan clan from rising to power."

The clan chief and the two elders' expressions changed drastically upon hearing these words.

The Second Elder pointed at Leng Feng, "You...who is your master?"

"You're a traitor! You...you..."

What they hate most is traitors. If it weren't for the traitors back then, the Xuanyuan clan wouldn't have suffered such a blow, and it has been more than 20 years since they started to recuperate.

Moreover, they still remember how many people died or were injured at that time, and it is heartbreaking for them.

Leng Feng couldn't help but say aloud his thoughts: "My master, haha, my master is naturally a steward of the Hall of Light. As long as I complete this mission, I can also become a steward, gain immortality, and even become a god."

"Your Xuanyuan clan is my stepping stone."

"I have been lying low and enduring for so many years, all for this."

"So what if your Xuanyuan clan has the protection of Xuanyuan Mountain? As long as your pure-blooded thunder beastmen are killed, your Xuanyuan clan will decline sooner or later and be wiped out."

The clan leader and the first elder also stood up instantly, their faces turning pale.

"A wolf in sheep's clothing! I never realized there was such a traitor in our clan."

They wanted nothing more than to kill Leng Feng on the spot, but they also knew they had to remain calm and get him to confess more.

My darlings, thank you all so much for your encouragement and support. I saw it all, and it was so heartwarming and touching. Sending you all my love! Those who have supported me this far are true fans, and I cherish each and every one of them. I really love this book, and I love the plot—it's all interconnected, and it gets even more exciting later on. Actually, there are some details that you might have missed, but I've subtly planted them. Some character reversals and changes in identity are gradually revealed through these details. The foreshadowing is quite ingenious, and I'm really excited and thrilled to think about some of the later plot developments. Many of the plot points will be very difficult to predict.
