Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

There was also something that deeply puzzled Mo Yun, "As for the World’s Number One Gambling House, let’s not talk about them for now, after all, the leader of Xuanjian Sect’s departure was arranged by them, so they knew when he returned. But how did Jiang Tie of the Northern Desert Sword know that the leader of Xuanjian Sect had already come back? He’d been with us the whole time."

Gu Fan nodded, "That’s right, the leader of Xuanjian Sect came back to the room through the secret tunnel. We had no idea when he got back from outside. But don’t forget one thing, and that is human curiosity."

"What do you mean?" Mo Yun was a bit confused, but seeing Gu Fan deliberately being mysterious and refusing to explain, she grew a little angry and urged him to speak up, or else he would be in for a beating.

Having no other choice, Gu Fan explained, "If you were the leader of Xuanjian Sect and you returned to your room through a secret passage in the middle of the night, hearing everyone outside drinking merrily, what would you do?"

"I would definitely go take a look from the window..." Mo Yun realized in a flash, "It’s because the leader of Xuanjian Sect approached the window and his shadow was seen by Jiang Tie of the Northern Desert Sword, that’s how he knew the leader of Xuanjian Sect had come back."

"Exactly. At that time, the place Jiang Tie sat was directly opposite the room where the leader of Xuanjian Sect was staying, and he was the one most likely to see the leader approaching the window." After saying that, Gu Fan shared a knowing smile, "Now we just have to wait and see what Lord Xiong does. If he notices that the big dealer’s lights are on until late, then it would mostly confirm my guess."

Mo Yun expressed some admiration, "Kid, you really have some tricks up your sleeve, but luck did play a part, since you didn’t know that the leader of Xuanjian Sect would leave tonight beforehand."

"That’s correct, there was an element of luck to my actions, but I also made a judgment before deciding to act today. Don’t forget, tomorrow is the fourth round of the Martial Arts competition. If you were the leader of Xuanjian Sect, what would you do?" Gu Fan hit the nail on the head with his remark, leading Mo Yun to admire him once more, "Yes, if I were the leader, I would want to know how everything is arranged for tomorrow, what the bets are like, and I would certainly go discuss with the big dealer to ensure everything goes off without a hitch."

However, Mo Yun didn’t fully understand one point, "Even if you deduce that Jiang Tie of the Northern Desert Sword and the leader of Xuanjian Sect are in cahoots, what of it? You can’t defeat them, and you’re basically doomed to lose tomorrow."
