Chapter 965: Disintegration

With that one remark, the room fell silent again.

"Xian Fa...?" Di Hu stared blankly at Di Niu, completely confused. "What are you talking about, sis...? We're Sheng Xiao, right? Xian Fa is just Hui Xiang, isn't it? Yang Ge told me that Sheng Xiao never Hui Xiang."

Di Niu ignored Di Hu and scanned the room again, addressing the group. "We're all on the same path now, so we should at least trust each other. If anyone here has Xian Fa, just tell me directly."

Upon hearing this, Di Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took half a step back, folding his arms across his chest. His gaze on Di Niu turned wary.

Seeing no one admit it, Di Niu raised her own hand first. "I have Xian Fa myself, but revealing its type would be like exposing my identity, so I can't say everything. What about the rest of you?"

Bai Lan Gou stared at Di Niu for a long time, as if something had occurred to him. Just as he was about to raise his hand, Di Shu subtly extended his paw and quietly held him back.

"Leader... how do you usually train those muscles?" Di Shu asked casually. "Even your forearm is so solid. Planning to become a military dog in the future?"

"You..."

Bai Lan Gou furrowed his brow, not understanding Di Shu's intention.

By now, everything had been laid out in the open—what was there left to be cautious about?

He knew it wasn't the right time to speak clearly, so he went along with Di Shu's cue and looked up at Di Niu.

On one side of the room, Di Tu, who was standing with Di Ma, hesitated for a moment before slowly raising his hand. "I have Xian Fa."

Everyone turned to look at the tall Di Tu in surprise. He hadn't said much since entering the room, but he actually had Xian Fa?

If this information got out, it would be a death sentence.

"Good!" Di Niu nodded. "May I ask what ability it is?"

"I'm 'Yuan...'"

"Wait!" Di Ji interrupted Di Tu firmly, then turned to Di Niu and asked tentatively, "Do we really need to lay all our cards on the table the first time we meet...?"

"Oh...?" Di Niu thought for a moment before replying, "But this is all part of Bai Yang's plan—I'm just following orders."

"Are you saying Bai Yang wants you to find out everyone's Hui Xiang types here?" Di Ji asked again. "Is that really part of the plan?"

Di Niu didn't answer directly and instead said to the group, "No matter what, you can all trust me completely."

"That doesn't mean we don't trust you," Di Ji replied. "It's just that there are too many Sheng Xiao in this room—I suspect there are all sorts mixed in. We can't just reveal everything; it could get us all killed before the plan even starts. So, stop pressing."

Di Niu was silent for a while before slowly saying, "You're right."

Although the people in the room didn't know exactly what had happened, they could sense the atmosphere had shifted.

They had thought Di Niu, who had just appeared, would be a leader-type figure, but she seemed to have a disagreement with Di Ji beside her.

"In any case, that's the general plan," Di Niu said. "Everyone go back and get ready, because the Ju Zhong and the display screen could be destroyed at any time—maybe in a few hours, or perhaps in the next cycle. I'll be resting in Di Ji's room during this time. If anyone wants to talk to me about Xian Fa privately, feel free to come by."

The people in the room quietly watched Di Niu, no one speaking. Di Niu then politely nodded to everyone and turned to leave.

Di Ji frowned as he glanced at the others in the room and followed her out.

After waiting quietly for a while, Hei Yang slowly stood up and said, "This is boring. I'm going back to sleep."

"Huh?" Di Hu was startled. "Hey, Dead Lao Hei, don't go! Let's discuss killing 'Tian Hu.' You know what that 'Tian Hu' means to me..."

"It's got nothing to do with me." Hei Yang replied coldly, walking out and slamming the door shut behind him.

"Ah... you jerk, Dead Lao Hei..." Pei Qian Hu scratched his head and muttered, "So unfaithful..."

Everyone in the room had their own thoughts. At that moment, Di Shu stood up and said to the group, "Since the plan from above has been fully distributed, let's all go back and implement it properly."

With that, he reached out and tugged at Bai Lan Gou beside him. Bai Lan Gou caught on and said, "Yeah, yeah... Time to clock out. I'll head back and nap for a bit."

The two of them left the room with serious expressions.

As people left in small groups, Di Ma turned to the tall Di Tu beside him and said, "You shouldn't be so straightforward."

"What?" Di Tu was puzzled.

"Now we all know you have Hui Xiang. If anyone runs into 'Tian She,' you're done for."

"No way... that couldn't happen so coincidentally, right?" Di Tu asked.

Di Zhu stared at Di Tu for a long time before quietly uttering a word: "Bo...?"

"What... what 'Bo'?" Di Tu was taken aback. "You... you kid..."

"Never mind, I was just guessing." Di Zhu frowned and said, "I need to talk to you about something. Can you come with me?"

Di Tu's eyes widened. He quickly glanced around at the others and nodded vigorously.

The two of them walked out of the room. Now, only Di Hu and Di Ma were left, and after a moment of silence, Di Ma quietly opened the door and left.

What had started as a gathering of everyone had quickly dispersed after Di Niu's arrival, as if they had all uncovered some dangerous secret.

In the room next to Di Hu's.

After Di Niu entered, Di Ji turned and gently closed the door behind them. He then looked at Di Niu with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Di Niu asked.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Di Ji asked directly. "What was that 'plan' you just told everyone...? It's not what you said before."

"I..." Di Niu smiled slightly. "What's the difference?"

"You!" Di Ji wanted to say more, but suddenly heard a faint knocking at the door.

The two of them were startled. Di Ji walked to the door and carefully opened it a crack, seeing that it was Hei Yang.

"What is it?" Di Ji asked cautiously.

"I forgot to ask you something important earlier—it's about the plan," Hei Yang said.

"About the plan...?"

"It's not convenient to talk here," Hei Yang frowned slightly and whispered, "Can I come in?"

"Alright..." Di Ji nodded and opened the door, stepping back into the room.

Hei Yang thanked them and entered, then turned to close the door. Before Di Ji and Di Niu noticed, his expression turned stern, and he reached out to lock the door.

Click.

The soft sound made the two Sheng Xiao in the room alert.

"Why are you locking the door?" Di Niu asked.

"Di Niu... you've got some nerve, lying in front of 'Yang' like that?"

Hei Yang's eyes filled with killing intent as he slowly turned around.
