Seeing Qing Nü Again

The Opening the Origin Hall Committee is the highest authority of the Immortal Sect.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Immortal Sect are all members of the committee. However, since these big shots don't really manage things, the committee is currently chaired by Ye Yun'e, the Deputy Hall Master of the Opening the Origin Hall.

When Chen Mobai saw the email, he knew he couldn't escape this situation.

Wang Shuye of the Wuqi Dao Academy is also one of the Rotating Committee Member.

The fact that this email was sent means that the Wuqi Dao Academy must already know about this matter.

Under these circumstances, it is likely that the True Person Scarlet Robe Yu Tianguang has been abandoned by the Dao Academy.

As the Golden Core True Person closest to Vermilion Cloud City, Chen Mobai has an obligation to assist the Sky Mending Group in completing its mission.

This is such a hassle.

Chen Mobai frowned and called Che Yucheng, but the latter only told him to abide by the laws of the Immortal Sect, do what he was supposed to do, and not to act impulsively, before hanging up in a hurry.

That evening, a knock sounded at Chen Mobai's door. The door opened, and someone he didn't want to see walked in.

Lan Haitan: "Long time no see. You should have received the message from above by now, right?"

Chen Mobai: "Hmm, are you alone?"

As he spoke, Chen Mobai looked around at the void. Due to the privacy rights of the Immortal Sect, he could not use the Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye at will.

Lan Haitan: "Lin Yin is arranging the next steps, and since we two Golden Core True Person are meeting, her presence wouldn't be of any use."

Chen Mobai: "You have one more piece of bad news you haven't told me."

Lan Haitan: "An important witness has confessed, identifying the True Person Scarlet Robe Yu Tianguang as one of the high-ranking members of the Ascension Cult."

Just as I expected!

Hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned even more.

To be fair, Yu Tianguang treated him very well. If it weren't for Yu Tianguang's intervention, he might not have been able to enter the Wuqi Dao Academy.

Furthermore, he later used the Lamp Burning Technique to help him transform the Five Elements Technique into Pure Yang Scroll; all of this was an act of kindness.

Now, due to the orders of the Immortal Sect, he was forced to confront Yu Tianguang with weapons, which made him feel quite uneasy.

Chen Mobai: "What should I do?"

Lan Haitan: "Together, deliver the Arrest Warrant to Yu Tianguang."

Chen Mobai: "Is that all?"

Lan Haitan: "If Yu Tianguang dares to resist, it will be necessary for you and me to join forces to suppress him."

Chen Mobai: "My mere Golden Core level one cultivation is probably going to hold you back."

Lan Haitan: "You're being too modest. With the Purple Lightning Sword in hand, I doubt many Golden Core True Person in the entire Immortal Sect would dare to face you head-on."

Chen Mobai: "The Purple Lightning Sword is too high-grade; I can't fully control it yet..."

Although he couldn't disobey the orders of the Immortal Sect Upper Echelon, Chen Mobai was indeed a newly Core Formation cultivator. It was normal that he was no match for Yu Tianguang, a veteran Golden Core True Person.

Lan Haitan: "Then you can assist me from the side."

When he said this, Lan Haitan looked very confident. Since the Immortal Sect sent him here, they obviously had absolute confidence in him.

Chen Mobai nodded and didn't say anything more.

Lan Haitan: "I'll let you know when the operation begins."

After saying that, Lan Haitan turned to leave.

Chen Mobai: "Where is Qing Nü?"

Finally, Chen Mobai couldn't help but ask.

Lan Haitan: "If you want to see the witness, I can give her a day off tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Mobai, and he felt as if he had vaguely grasped something.

Although Qing Nü was involved in many secret matters, she had a direct connection with the Ascension Cult, and there were very few people she was willing to meet.

Since Kong Feichen and Yang Jing wouldn't appear on Earth Origin Star, Chen Mobai carefully recalled the life story of Qing Nü in his mind and quickly thought of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Chen Mobai: "That witness is Gu Changfeng!"

After hearing this, Lan Haitan smiled slightly, but did not give a direct answer, and simply turned and left.

At that time, Lan Haitan personally came to Vermilion Cloud City to handle Gu Changfeng's case.

That was also the time when Chen Mobai took the College Entrance Exam entrance exam, and by chance, he was also drawn into it.

Because Gu Changfeng was the first Foundation Establishment Cultivator he had ever seen arrested by the Immortal Sect's organization, and because he was related to Qing Nü, Chen Mobai had a deep impression of him.

After Lan Haitan left, Chen Mobai picked up his phone. After hesitating for a long time, he was still worried about Qing Nü and called her.

The call didn't connect at first, but Qing Nü called back two minutes later.

Qing Nü: [Sorry, the location was a bit sensitive, I couldn't answer the phone then, I'm coming out now.]

Chen Mobai: [Yes, Lan Haitan said you came with him. I'm in Yumu City. If you encounter anything life-threatening, be sure to tell me immediately.]

Chen Mobai doesn't have many friends, but he's willing to dedicate himself wholeheartedly to helping Qing Nü.

Qing Nü: [Thank you!]

When Qing Nü said this, her voice was already choked with emotion. After exchanging a few more words, the two agreed to meet again the next day.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai had no interest in meditating, so he simply used a High-grade Spirit Stone to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharma Body, thus passing the time for the entire night.

Before dawn, Chen Mobai left his courtyard and headed towards the place the two had agreed upon.

This is the location of a base of the Enforcement Department, and the Sky Mending Group has requisitioned two floors of it.

Qing Nü was not supposed to go out alone, but because of Chen Mobai, Lan Haitan gave her a day off.

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

When Qing Nü came out, she saw Chen Mobai at the door and greeted him with her brightest smile.

"It hasn't been that long, has it?"

As Chen Mobai spoke, he looked up and saw Lan Haitan smiling and waving at him from the window on the top floor of the building.

"Let's go."

Qing Nü took the initiative to hold Chen Mobai's hand. He was a little surprised, but he did not refuse and let her lead him away from there.

In Lan Haitan's office, a short-haired woman wearing a white shirt and green suit sat upright to the side. She could see Chen Mobai below, but Chen Mobai could not see her.

Is it him?

The short-haired woman had light gray-brown eyes. She looked at Chen Mobai's back with great interest.

"Yes, Deputy Minister Gongsun seems to care about him a lot."

Upon hearing Lan Haitan's words, the short-haired woman withdrew her gaze, fiddling with a toothpick in her hand, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

Chen Mobai led Qing Nü to a shady path. He and Yan Bingxuan had been here before; the scenery was very beautiful, and at the end of the path was the Geda Courtyard, where the most famous Fourth Grade elm tree in Yumu City was located.

"To ensure the success of this mission, in addition to the Sky Mending Group, the Immortal Sect also sent a top-tier Golden Core True Person from the Enforcement Department."

As they walked, Qing Nü spoke of confidential matters.

"This should be kept secret, you don't need to tell me."

Chen Mobai was a little worried about Qing Nü and took the initiative to tell her to talk less.

"Deputy Group Leader Lan said, you are one of the people in charge of this operation, and I can reveal these things to you."

Chen Mobai nodded at Qing Nü's words. Since she had said that, he asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Which official from the Enforcement Department is it?"

As the most powerful institution in the Immortal Sect's Law Enforcement Hall for maintaining internal discipline, the Enforcement Department, despite its large size and uneven quality of personnel, has far more experts than the Sky Mending Group, and its Minister is a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Immortal Sect.

"I am not of high enough status to have met that expert from the Enforcement Department. However, when I was being protected to see my teacher yesterday, I sensed a powerful sword aura similar to yours. He must be a Sword Cultivator."

Sword Cultivator!? There just so happens to be one of the most outstanding Immortal Sect Sword Dao Grandmaster in the Law Enforcement Hall.

Chen Mobai recalled for a moment and had a vague idea of who it was.

It should be Gongsun Jielü, one of the four great Sword Cultivator of the Immortal Sect. She also happens to hold the position of Deputy Minister of the Enforcement Department.

This person comes from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy and is said to have mastered a portion of the Six Imperial Scripture, which he has integrated into his own swordsmanship. His reputation is no less than that of Nangong Xuanyu.

So that's why Lan Haitan is so confident, it turns out she's in charge.

As Chen Mobai thought this, he suddenly felt a sense of relaxation.

With Gongsun Jielü involved, it means it doesn't matter whether he makes a move or not; Yu Tianguang definitely can't escape.

So, the reason he was involved might be that the Wuqi Dao Academy wanted to clear itself of suspicion.

After all, the fact that the Golden Core True Person of the Wuqi Dao Academy was actually a member of a cult is a huge blow to any Dao Academy in terms of public opinion.

If Chen Mobai, as the representative of the Wuqi Dao Academy, were to step in and assist, he would at least have the reputation of upholding justice even at the cost of family ties, and with some public relations efforts, he could salvage some of his reputation.

Chen Mobai: "Is Gu Changfeng imprisoned in Yumu City?"

Qing Nü: "Yes, he was serving his sentence by chopping wood in a dark forest. It was he who suddenly testified against the True Person Scarlet Robe, which is why the Immortal Sect have made such a big fuss."

For nearly a century, no Councilor the Opening the Origin Hall council has been removed from office.

If Yu Tianguang is arrested this time, the shock to the Immortal Sect will definitely have a far-reaching impact. At the very least, the Wuqi Dao Academy will be attacked, and Wang Shuye and others within the system will have a very difficult time.

Chen Mobai: "Why confess now of all times? Why not confess earlier or later?"

If it were a few years earlier, before Chen Mobai had Core Formation, even if he had just been conscripted in Vermilion Cloud City, he wouldn't be in such an awkward situation now.

Although taking action was a noble act of sacrificing family for the sake of the Dao Academy, I felt guilty.

But not taking action is even worse, or we might end up being labeled as cult members.

Qing Nü: "Because the aftereffects of his cultivation of the God Devouring Technique have flared up. With his Foundation Establishment realm, he is unable to control his ever-increasing Spiritual Sense, and he may not have much time left to live."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai showed a look of sudden realization.

Gu Changfeng was arrested by Lan Haitan because of his Forbidden Technique.

Qing Nü, his former disciple, was protected by the Goumang Dao Academy because she possessed Heaven Spirit Root and showed no signs of having practiced Forbidden Technique.

"Just focus on cultivating normal techniques, why bother with Forbidden Technique? Improving your Spiritual Sense isn't that difficult..."

As Chen Mobai spoke, he began to feel a little guilty. If it weren't for Meng Huang'er's Spiritual Sense Profound Sound Wonderful Method, he probably wouldn't have even reached the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer by now.

But you still have to say those things to maintain appearances and preserve your image as a genius.

"My teacher is just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. He has passed the limit of the physical body's peak and has no way or seniority to obtain Core Formation Spirit Medicine. The only way for him to break through is through Forbidden Technique."

Qing Nü, however, understood Gu Changfeng somewhat. After all, the latter had taken care of her for many years and taught her Alchemy, which allowed her to befriend Chen Mobai, the chosen one, when she was in poverty.

Because of the existence of Qi Replenishing Spirit Water, compared to these geniuses who cannot feel the bottleneck, more than 99% of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Immortal Sect die with regrets before reaching the bottleneck.

How did he identify Yu Tianguang?

Chen Mobai asked again, "This concerns the Wuqi Dao Academy. His testimony alone, as a criminal, is far from sufficient to convict Yu Tianguang."

"I don't know about that. The interrogation was conducted by another department of the Law Enforcement Hall. However, judging from the importance that the Sky Mending Group and the Enforcement Department attached to it, they must have found decisive evidence through his testimony."

Hearing this, Chen Mobai could only sigh.

The order to arrest Yu Tianguang has been issued. If he wants to think about the Dao Academy, he'd better perform well in the upcoming operation.

With his mind heavy with worries, Chen Mobai led Qing Nü to the end of the tree-lined path.

"This is Geda Courtyard."

Before the towering elm tree of the Fourth Grade, Qing Nü clasped her hands together, holding a wooden plaque, and closed her eyes as if making a wish.

As Chen Mobai looked at her, wondering if he should also buy one to wish his family good health and peace, a strange Spiritual Mechanism fluctuation caught his attention.

He looked up in the direction from which the Spiritual Mechanism came, and saw a middle-aged man with a refined face and gentle eyes standing opposite the elm tree, looking at Qing Nü who was making a wish with a doting expression.

Chen Mobai frowned slightly and arrived beside him in an instant.

"Huh!"

As Chen Mobai approached, he discovered that the middle-aged man who should have been there had vanished.

His gaze had never left her. Just as Chen Mobai was about to use his Spiritual Eye Art, Qing Nü opened her eyes and happily hung the wooden plaque in her hand on a branch of elm wood with Red String.

Chen Mobai saw that the wooden sign had four names written on it: Qing Nü, Kong Feichen, Yang Jing, and his name.

How did you get there?

Qing Nü saw that Chen Mobai, who should have been behind her, was actually opposite her, and asked curiously.

"You look beautiful when you pray; I see it most clearly from here."

Chen Mobai said with a smile, which made Qing Nü blush and turn her face away, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Let's go, it's about time."

By this time, it was getting dark, and before they knew it, the two had been out and about all day.

As Chen Mobai left with Qing Nü, he couldn't help but look back at the Geda Courtyard, his doubts growing ever deeper.

I only have a minimum goal to play today. I have a medical check-up appointment at the hospital tomorrow, so I won't stay up late.
