Hidden Circumstances

What do you think?

"He's alright, quite similar to Senior Brother Zhou. Among the next generation of true disciples, he'll be another interesting junior brother."

Yuan Chiye asked the girl beside him and received an answer that surprised him.

"Senior Brother Zhou? He's the next Sect Leader of my Divine Wood Sect. You think so highly of this Chen Guixian?"

"The next Sect Leader? That will have to wait until Senior Brother Zhou reaches the Foundation Establishment."

"Hehe..."

Yuan Chiye dared not continue the conversation, and could only smile and brush it off.

the next day.

The venue for the Talisman assessment had been set up, and all the Rogue Cultivator who had passed the first round of spirit testing filed in. Under the guidance of the people from the Four Great Families who came to maintain Order, they sat down in an orderly manner.

Chen Mobai has already entered the sect. He is just waiting for the completion of the Spirit Crossing Mission throughout the Yun Country. Then, Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed in the Yun Country will come and take them away to the Divine Wood Sect.

He had no time or inclination to look at these people's gloomy faces.

Fortunately, Zhuo Ming didn't need to participate in the Talisman assessment.

So the two of them found a place and started talking about Lu Shu.

"He also gave me this book, ' The Divine Wood Sect Talisman Crafting Insights, ' but I had already obtained the books on making Revival Talisman, Renewal Talisman, and New Life Talisman before. When I took it back and compared it, I discovered the trickery in it."

As soon as Zhuo Ming spoke, he confirmed that the Talisman Making that Lu Shu had given to Chen Mobai had indeed been tampered with.

"Did Junior Sister Zhuo confront him about this matter?"

"How could I dare? At that time, I was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, while he was already at the Late Qi Cultivation Refining. I could only pretend not to know and thank him for the book every time we met."

"Could it be that he was also deceived and didn't actually know that there was something wrong with this Talisman Making?"

"Hmph, I used to think so too, but then one day I saw him take out an identical copy and give it to another Rogue Cultivator who was setting up a stall. Do you think I would buy two such erroneous books if I were being cheated? I thought he was a helpful Rogue Cultivator, but who knew he was so insidious."

Hearing Zhuo Ming say this, Chen Mobai nodded.

If that's really the case, then Lu Shu is using this method to disrupt the ecosystem of the Divine Wood Sect's recruitment of Rogue Cultivator.

He knew how precious the knowledge of the Sky River Realm was.

Giving away erroneous Talisman Making techniques for free would undoubtedly destroy the future of the Divine Wood Sect in the shortest amount of time.

"According to Junior Sister Zhuo, do you know why Lu Shu did this?"

"I think he might be a member of the Five Elements Sect."

Although Zhuo Ming's tone was hesitant, her expression was resolute. Chen Mobai thought about it and felt that it made a lot of Possessing the Dao.

Indeed, the Five Elements Sect is the most likely, the most suspicious, and the least afraid of being retaliated against by the Divine Wood Sect after being discovered.

"Junior sister, do you think we should report this matter to our two true disciples?"

Chen Mobai asked another question, Zhuo Ming hesitated for a moment before immediately shaking her head.

"It's better to pretend you don't know. If you want to live a long life in the Cultivation World, you have to be a little ignorant."

That's why she didn't tell Chen Mobai about it at first.

Who knows what Lu Shu's background is? She didn't want her malice towards him to lead to future Karma if he found out.

"If you're going to tell the two true disciples, just say you discovered it yourself, and don't involve me."

Zhuo Ming's words made Chen Mobai chuckle; the atmosphere in the Sky River Realm was indeed quite conservative.

However, he couldn't say anything to Zhuo Ming, since he himself acted the same way here.

However, now that he is in the spotlight and is hailed as the leader of this generation of Divine Wood disciples in Nanxi Yun Country, he can no longer keep a low profile.

Perhaps in the future, we'll need to be a bit more high-profile.

That just so happens, he also wants to become a true disciple and strive for the Foundation Establishment.

"Since you have such good intentions, junior sister, I will naturally not expose you."

After the Talisman assessment ended that day, Chen Mobai handed the book of Talisman insights from the Divine Wood Sect to Yuan Chiye. The latter looked at it with a puzzled expression and then frowned.

Being able to become a true disciple and be entrusted with an important task, such as coming to Yun Country to guide the spirits, his vision and knowledge are naturally of the highest caliber.

Without Chen Mobai pointing it out, he already knew the sinister plot hidden behind this erroneous book.

"No wonder the Talisman Making skills of this year's Rogue Cultivator are a whole level below the previous year. If the Sect Leader hadn't relaxed the requirements, I probably would have eliminated 80% of the rogue Rogue Cultivator."

Yuan Chiye shook his head, his eyes turning serious as he asked Chen Mobai, "Besides you, who else knows about this?"

"I don't know about that, because Lu Shu gave me this book directly. Perhaps there are other people in the market who were also given it by him. You'll have to ask other Rogue Cultivator for details."

Chen Mobai's words were flawless, and Yuan Chiye did not notice the ambiguity. After nodding, the latter put the book "Divine Wood Sect Talisman Crafting Insights" into his pocket.

"The spirit-crossing ceremony here in South Stream Market has just ended. I need to go to Uncle Shan's residence to report on this matter. Until the order from above comes down, just pretend this never happened. Even if you encounter the person who gave you the book, pretend you don't know anything and greet them with a smile."

"Yes, Senior Brother Yuan."

The two disciples, who had originally planned to rest for one night, did not delay any longer and left South Stream Market that very night, heading north.

"Since I have some time, I'll go back to the Water Mansion for a visit."

Chen Mobai had already mastered the method for lifting the Restriction the Ren Shui Thunder Method, which was recorded in Liu Lengpei's notes. If it weren't for the fact that joining the Divine Wood Sect was too important, he would have returned long ago.

Now we need to wait another half a month or so, until Yuan Chiye and the other two complete the spirit transfer to the other three directions of Yun Country, before we can go to Giant Wood Ridge.

He can finally accomplish this long-cherished wish.

This is a problem that has been troubling him ever since he first arrived in the Sky River Realm.

What exactly is inside those two side halls?

Having cultivated the Pure Yang Dharma Body all night, Chen Mobai, full of energy and vitality, strolled out of South Stream Market.

"The day has finally come!"

The Rogue Cultivator who had been keeping watch at the entrance of the market saw Chen Mobai's departing figure, narrowed his eyes, and then activated a Telepathic Message.

A short while later, another Rogue Cultivator arrived.

"Senior brother, he's gone."

"Junior brother, are we really going to make a move? He's a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect now. If we kill him, even if we've joined the Golden Light Cliff, we'll probably be killed if our identities are exposed."

"Senior brother, at worst we'll just take the Sword Casting Ring and not kill him. He's also Rogue Cultivator, he'll definitely be a pragmatic person."

Ultimately, the allure of the Sword Casting Ring was too great, or perhaps the two of them had become accustomed to the rapid increase in wealth brought by plunder and could not resist. With a determined heart and gritted teeth, they chased after Chen Mobai in the direction he had left.

Shortly after they left, He Qun and his two sworn brothers also appeared.

They smiled sinisterly.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

They all belong to them.
