Chapter 1950


    Fane''s calmness made Zeph change his perspective on him for the better. Nheless, he had


    already epted the money on the promise of taking Fane out. Therefore, there was no way in hell


    he would let Fane participate in the test nor let him leave this ce alive.


    Zephughed coldly and turned to face the crowd. "Of course not! The reason I''m not allowing you


    to participate in the test is that you’re a spy sent by the Muddled Origin n.”


    A collective gasp escaped from the crowd''s lips as they turned to look at Fane with suspicions in


    their eyes. The fact that the user was Zeph made the usation extremely believable. After all,


    why would someone of his status in the Dual Sovereign Pavilion lie about such a thing? What


    benefit could he possibly gain from doing so?

    Ambrose had no idea whether what Zeph said was true but he had always been the kind to y


    devil''s advocate to whatever position he held. He sneaked a nce at Fane and was simrly


    impressed by his calmness. ''If he''s really a spy, he''s definitely not your average run-of-the-mill spy,’


    he thought with a faint smile.


    He was originally standing next to Elder Lee but moved to be closer to Fane. Then he turned to


    Zeph and said, "You say he''s a spy from the Muddled Origin n? I wonder where you get your


    intel from. Surely the Muddled Origin n would have done everything in their power to keep the


    identities of their spy a secret."


    Although Zeph was not surprised that Ambrose would choose to go against him, his face still


    darkened nheless. "I wouldn''t have used him without showing any proof. As a person who


    pledged their loyalty to the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, I would not allow any harm toe to it.


    Therefore, we must not allow him to participate in the test," he said while still facing the crowd.


    Ambrose smiled nonchntly at what he said while still keeping his eyes focused on Fane whose


    expression never changed.


    Fane stared icily at Zeph. Beforeing, it had crossed his mind that Warren might send someone


    toe after him but he never expected that person to be someone from the Dual Sovereign


    Pavilion. "And what is this proof you speak of? You said that someone reported me to you. How do


    we know for sure that person is a reliable source? Besides, why would the Muddled Origin n


    send an initial stage of innate level spy? What is their motive? It''s not as if I can influence the


    oue of the battle or uncover the pavilion''s confidential information."


    using Fane of being a spy was the perfect solution to Zeph''s problem. This way he not only


    prevented him from ever joining the Dual Sovereign Pavilion but also turned the crowd against him.


    No one would havee to his rescue as they would be punished too if they were found to be


    associated with a spy.


    Once someone has been used of being a spy, the onus falls on them to prove their innocence.


    Fane clearly understood that it would be difficult for him to prove his innocence and this was exactly


    what Zeph was banking on. Unless he possessed some extraordinary abilities, there was no way in


    hell Fane would be able to disassociate the word spy from his name.


    However, his calmness made everyone think twice. After some careful consideration, they


    discovered Fane''s word to be logical as to why would the Muddled Origin n send an initial stage


    of innate level to spy on the Dual Sovereign Pavilion? It would take a long while for a fighter this


    level to rise up to the ranks of an internal disciple even if he sessfully join the Dual Sovereign


    Pavilion and only those of the ranks of internal discipline would have ess to slightly more useful


    information or be of help to the higher-ups.
