Chapter 77 – Just A Weird Girl!

"Who is it?" she asked.

"I have no idea," I shrugged. "But your enemies would be stupid not to put at least one spy in your team."

In this case, I was putting myself in the shoes of whoever Song Song was against. If there was one thing someone could trust Song Song to be, it was unpredictable. So it would make sense to have someone keep an eye on our dear psycho girl here so she didn't do something like... just decide to lead this team toward one of the rival camps and slaughter them.

"If your enemies did not put a spy in your team, there is nothing to worry about. You will win this, or you would have already won by now," I stated the obvious.

Of course, her enemies were not dumb; we both knew that. One of her enemies was surely her other cousin, the kid who was the Sect Leader's son. Given how the Sect Leader himself had come into power, I doubted he raised a naive son.

Song Song calmed down and sighed. With her sigh, it seemed like everyone else on the team also breathed an internal sigh of relief.

"It seems like the only people I can trust here are you and your cousins," Song Song shook her head.

"Do not trust my cousins," I quickly refuted her. "While they might work for you, they ultimately have the clan's best interests in mind. If betraying you benefits the Liu Clan, then you can be sure they will stab you in the back."

"Oh? Is that so?" Song Song asked rhetorically as an eerie feeling ran up my spine and a strange chill spread through my body. "Then, what about you? Should I trust you? If your cousins have their clan's intentions at heart, what about you?"

Well, I had stumbled into very dangerous waters here. I would have to answer carefully, or I would not take a step further before my head would be rolling at my feet. But at the end of the day, anything other than the truth would be a lie. But I had to be careful how I came off.

"If I were in your place, I would not trust me either, just to be sure," I shrugged. "But there is one thing that you can trust."

"And what is that?" she asked.

"You can trust my lack of strength. I am only a Body Tempering Cultivator, and if I decide to betray you or stab you in the back, you can rip my head off before I can even bring the knife down," I answered with the facts that she could easily prove.

Almost immediately, Song Song put a hand on my shoulder, and I felt a soft Qi run through my body in a split second and leave before it did any harm. She had gotten better at imbuing Qi in someone else's body compared to the last time we did this.

"You truly are a Body Tempering Cultivator and don't have Qi spread through your body like any Qi Gathering Cultivator would," she stated her findings and let go of my shoulder before stating. "I have decided to trust you on this. You haven't lied or led me wrong until now."

"Well, if I were to lie about the traitor, the only benefit a spy would get was making you appear paranoid or crazy…" I carefully thought of my following words and contemplated if I wanted to say such things to her face. Ah, screw it. "But we both know you don't need much help since they already see you like that."

"True," she agreed without any of the anger.

Huh, she was more self-aware about her problems than I expected.

While Song Song looked at everyone in her team like a hawk
