"I will be back!"

Qin Yi shouted his declaration, then awkwardly waved his handkerchief in mid-air before slinking back to his Transient Peak.

Too ashamed to greet the two big-headed boys, he quickly slipped into his cave abode.

As soon as the cave abode door closed, Liusu jumped out with her stick, clutching her stomach with one hand and pointing at Qin Yi with the other, laughing so hard she bent over, "A true reflection of a simp who has no house, hahaha..."

Qin Yi's face flushed red, and he said irritably, "You still have the nerve to laugh at me? Senior Sister, aren't you afraid of being discovered when you trace back your divine sense?"

"That kind of regression is just like turning the pages of a book, browsing through the key points. If she can detect my presence even with that, she's far too strong." Liusu said, "At least she won't notice when I'm chatting and joking with you. The most dangerous time is when Guan Ji tries to control you with the Palm Buddha Country technique. I absorbed soul power at that point, and she should notice that... but she can cover it up with some excuses."

"The key issue is your attitude; you're not as cautious as before?"

"Because this woman's heart has been disturbed by you, and it's not like the time when she was scrutinizing you at first sight, she won't question her dear junior brother because of this strangeness."

"Why does that sound a bit sour..."

Liusu suddenly jumped onto his shoulder. "Hey, why haven't you ever fawned over me like you have over her! She taught you things, didn't I?"

How sour... Qin Yi glanced at it sideways. "Senior Sister is a great beauty."

"You shameless wretch!" Liusu roared in anger, conjuring a white mist stick with her hand, as if to strike him.

"No, no." Qin Yi raised his hands in surrender. "My Great Staff is the best. Without you, there would be no Qin Yi today."

"That sounds so fake." Liusu withdrew her stick and retorted, "Did I teach you to be so charming and popular with women?"

"Actually... yes."

"Nonsense!"

Qin Yi looked at it sincerely. "Really, almost every girl I know, what you mean can be summed up in one word: 'Have your way with her.' I've already been quite disobedient..."

"Is that so?" Liusu looked at him suspiciously.

Qin Yi nodded.

Liusu stroked her chin, touching it repeatedly, and after thinking for a long time, she said uncertainly, "It seems so... those women are all so horny."

Qin Yi held back his laughter.

When Liusu transforms into a miniature figure, she doesn't need to act cute; every movement and word she utters exudes natural charm. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this the only size you can take on right now?"

"Yeah, and I can't stray too far from the Koreans." Liusu didn't realize he was thinking about something as trivial as whether it was cute or not; his mind was instead drawn to the important matter at hand. "I didn't expect Meng Qingying, who comes from a major sect, to be so poor. I thought she might have some good stuff. Hey, next time I want to break through, I need to keep an eye on the Immortal Palace. There's still a lot to loot here. At least the Earth Spirit Secret Realm still has some higher-level areas to explore. Don't be too lazy; improve yourself before going in."

"It's alright... I've only been cultivating for a short time, but I'm already at this level, so I'm not exactly a lazy bum."

"It looks good, but it's a pity that others are also progressing quickly." Liusu patted his shoulder. "Settle down, your Senior Sister wants to be in a relationship but is afraid of being... you know, what a pretentious woman. You should just go along with the flirting and ambiguity, don't get too caught up in it. When you come back, you still need to focus on cultivation."

"What you're saying..."

"Isn't that reasonable?"

"... Never mind." Qin Yi said, "I still think we should deal with those Scheming Sect first, otherwise we won't be able to cultivate in peace. Thinking about your previous proposal to find an external enemy, I think it's very feasible."

Liusu became interested. "Tell me your funny ideas so I can have a laugh."

"It's not exactly cheating people. At least I can't be as unscrupulous as them, colluding with foreign enemies," Qin Yi said. "Although Guan Ji was seriously injured by me this time, it was indeed Zheng Yunyi who killed him. How can I take the blame for him? Guan Ji was the Chief Seat the Universal Salvation Hall the Great Joy Temple, a big shot at the Soaring Cloud Sixth Layer Ascension Realm. For someone with such a status to be killed without a complete corpse, there's a possibility that a sect war might break out. All I need to do is let everyone know that this matter is not my business, Qin Yi's business, but that Zheng Yunyi was involved. If a sect war really breaks out, it's not because of me, Qin Yi."

Liusu felt bored, but agreed, "That's right, we can't make us take the blame for everything he did."

Qin Yi added, "Moreover, it will also allow the Great Joy Temple to focus its attention here, and the Great Qian will most likely stop interfering in that mess."

Liusu nodded. "Adding this sentence adds a sense of a multi-pronged strategy, though it's superficial and uninteresting."

Ignoring the criticism, Qin Yi added, "This time, Zheng Yunyi has also seriously offended Meng Qingying. From what I know of her, it would be a miracle if she didn't retaliate against Zheng Yunyi; I just don't know when she'll have the time. Once these two major external enemies come knocking on their door, won't we be much more at Quiet Serenity?"

Liusu asked suspiciously, "You wouldn't be using this as an excuse to see Meng Qingying, would you?"

"I don't even know which way the gate of the Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect opens, and Meng Qingying is probably busy figuring out how to develop the power of her dragon right now, so she's not available for the time being," Qin Yi said irritably. "I just think she has the ability to keep track of what's happening here and launch a surprise Scheming Sect."

Liusu laughed and said, "Now that you mention it, I think the Scheming Sect is in trouble this time. What are your plans?"

"That's easy! Come on in, and I'll take you out to play."

The Liusu slipped into the stick in a flash.

As a complete major sect, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace naturally has an enforcement department responsible for sect rules and rewards and punishments. Qin Yi's "supervision" duty is an independent function that the Palace Master added on a whim. If he had to be affiliated with a department, he could only be affiliated with the Enforcement Hall. Therefore, Qin Yi can be considered a steward of the Enforcement Hall.

Although he didn't know a single one of his "colleagues"...

But his colleagues all recognized him.

The most talked-about person in the Immortal Palace recently... He's only been a disciple for a little over half a year, and he's already plucked the first flower of the Immortal Palace... Now, those who are jealous of the master-disciple relationship dare not speak, but there are plenty of people who want to tear Qin Yi apart, including his colleagues.

Qin Yi entered the Hall of the Enforcement Hall amidst a group of menacing stares, then smiled and bowed to everyone before heading straight for the Hall Master's "office."

The Palace Master's surname is Yan, and he is merely a cultivator skilled in playing the zither. The people in the Immortal Palace Inner Hall generally have low levels of cultivation, and their power comes entirely from the Palace Master.

Upon seeing Qin Yi, Hall Master Yan didn't dare to grit his teeth like the ordinary staff members. Qin Yi had inexplicably acquired supervisory duties, and anyone with a brain was already speculating, some even guessing he was the Palace Master's illegitimate son. Moreover, while these supervisory duties were nominally under the Enforcement Hall, they were actually independent, covering even his own Enforcement Hall; he couldn't afford to offend him.

"Oh dear, what brings Junior Brother Qin to the Enforcement Hall? Please, have a seat and a cup of tea."

"Oh, is that so?" Qin Yi said with a smile, "As an envoy responsible for oversight and monitoring of conduct, there are some things I need to report to the Enforcement Hall."

Hall Master Yan's heart skipped a beat, wondering who was going to be in trouble. He could only declare righteously, "If there are any illegal acts, our Enforcement Hall will deal with them seriously!"

"Hey, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Our Enforcement Hall doesn't just deal with people," Qin Yi said sincerely. "Those who make mistakes should be punished, and those who do well should be highly commended. That's the true purpose of my oversight, isn't it?"

Hall Master Yan understood, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, "Junior Brother is right."

Qin Yi said, "Zheng Yunyi of the Medicine, Divination, Schemes, Calculations Sect is a truly admirable fellow disciple. He helped me fight against foreign enemies in the Great Qian Dynasty, using his Qin Xin to resist Teng Yun and kill Guan Ji, the great demon and Chief Seat the Universal Salvation Hall of the Great Joy Temple. This is a model of mutual assistance among fellow disciples and demonstrates the courage to overcome the strong with the weak. The Immortal Palace should recognize him as a role model and commend him greatly!"

Hall Master Yan looked at him strangely for a long time before finally saying "Oh".

Qin Yi added, "I'm not familiar with the Diplomacy Hall, so the Hall Master could perhaps put in a good word for me. My Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is not to be trifled with. If the Great Joy Temple dares to cause trouble for Zheng Yunyi, our Immortal Palace Model disciple, Guan Ji will be the one to face it!"
