"Audacious" Shi Xuanfei

As the sun gradually rose higher, the customers at the Myriad Things Come shop also began to increase.

These regular patrons were very well-behaved. After selecting the goods they needed, they would consciously put the corresponding Tongbao or Spirit Stones into the basket by the counter. No one would ever take extra or try to cheat.

Meanwhile, inside the incense shop next door, as the commotion from the Demonic Cult mole apprehension operation gradually subsided, it had returned to its usual bustling state, filled with crowds and swirling smoke.

Qiao Bin squatted in his usual spot at the very back, a Lanzhou cigarette held between his fingers.

After giving instructions to a few trusted disciples, the incense shop was now filled with lively discussion.

"Did you hear?"

"Hear what?"

"About the Demonic Cult mole apprehension by the Law Enforcement Hall the day before yesterday!"

"Tch, don't remind me! Those guys from the Law Enforcement Hall turned my bedding inside out, it was so annoying!"

"Hey, you can't say that. I heard they caught over a dozen Demonic Cult spies in one go this time!"

"What does it matter to me if they caught a hundred? I'll never forget how they rummaged through my closet and bedding, there were so many of my personal items in there!" the disciple from Beast Taming Peak said indignantly.

The person next to him secretly scoffed inwardly: It's just a few erotic picture books he secretly bought from town, and he calls them personal items... He cleared his throat and deliberately raised his voice, "Brother, you're from Beast Taming Peak, right?"

"That's right!"

"Heh! Then do you know that the mole lurking in your peak almost stole the essence blood of your peak's divine beast, the Kirin! If the Law Enforcement Hall hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid..."

"Really?!"

"Do you think I'm lying! I heard the one who infiltrated Jade Maiden Peak was planning to do something indecent to the Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters there!"

"Preposterous!" The disciple from Beast Taming Peak suddenly stood up, his anger flaring, "They even dared to set their sights on the Senior Sisters of Jade Maiden Peak! They're utterly audacious and deserve to die!"

Sensing the gazes cast his way, he coughed awkwardly and then, clenching his fist, shouted to cover his outburst, "How dare these Demonic Cult fiends covet the essence blood of my Beast Taming Peak's divine beast! I stand against these evil heretics!"

These carefully crafted conversations, like stones tossed into a still lake, began to create ripples spreading throughout the incense shop. One person told two, two told four, and the topic spread at an exponential rate.

The disciples Qiao Bin had specifically "trained" were now applying their knowledge, a true example of "teaching according to aptitude." They accurately pinpointed the most sensitive pain points in the hearts of cultivators from different peaks and engaged them in conversation.

To Qiao Bin's surprise, at first, when people heard that Demonic Cult spies had coveted their peak's treasured items or core interests, everyone seemed astonished, and some felt indignant. However, when the topic shifted to the spies audaciously attempting to do indecent things to the female disciples of Jade Maiden Peak, everyone's emotions instantly ignited. Without exception, they became furious, wishing they could eat their flesh raw and drink their blood, reducing those scoundrels to ashes.

While Yang Ning was soundly sleeping, these highly inflammatory "rumors" had spread like wildfire, quickly covering more than half of Cloud Ascendant Sword Sect.

Yang Ning slept until the sun was high in the sky. He sat up from the exceptionally soft Simmons mattress, reached out to messily scratch his disheveled hair, and then stretched leisurely. He felt refreshed, and the symptoms of his cold from the previous day had long since vanished.

He stood up, wearing a "Blue Fatty" one-piece pajama, and sleepily pushed the door open.

Inside the shop, the cultivators coming and going were quietly selecting their goods, many of them female cultivators. The moment they saw Yang Ning emerge, smiles bloomed on their faces, and they cupped their hands in greeting, "Boss Yang, you're awake?"

Yang Ning yawned and casually returned the greeting, strolling around the shop. Afterward, he walked to the shop entrance, picked up an eraser, and wiped away the large chalk letters on the blackboard that read: "Boss is sleeping, no noise allowed."

Instantly, the conversations and discussions within the shop erupted, becoming noisy and lively.

A disciple from Beast Taming Peak, holding a bag of pet food, marveled to his companion, "I fed this to my Blazing Wolf a while ago, and look, its fur is much shinier and smoother than before, and it's gotten much stronger! I have to stock up today!"

Not far away, a female cultivator was enthusiastically recommending to her friend, "Sister, look quickly, this is the skincare set I told you about before! Perfume, face masks, essence water... everything you could want! Let's buy a set together!"

Her friend chuckled, covering her mouth, and said in a coy tone, "How could I be as naturally beautiful as you, Sister? I'd better pick out some foundation and lipstick to cover my shortcomings first."

The first female cultivator heard this and playfully rolled her eyes at her friend, then turned to choose her items.
