If Yin Yunze was still somewhat confused after hearing the first part of the story, then...

Those words immediately made Yin Yunze's ears perk up in a physical sense.

The tail behind him swayed slightly faster, if Yin Yunze wasn't mistaken.

It seems Li Miaoyan has mistaken someone for someone else?

It seems Li Miaoyan mistaking Yin Yunze for the Third Prison Warden of the Evil Ghost Division who died at Yin Yunze's hands?

If that's the case, it's no wonder Li Miaoyan so familiar.

If we interpret Li Miaoyan's behavior as an example of an elder's care for a younger person, then everything seems perfectly reasonable.

At this critical moment, Yin Yunze didn't care why Li Miaoyan had made such a misjudgment. He quickly nodded and obediently said, "Thank you, Minister!"

If he could avoid turning into a fox fur coat, Yin Yunze felt it was better not to.

"Still calling me Minister?!" Upon hearing Li Miaoyan reached out and tugged at Yin Yunze's fox ears, chuckling, "From now on, call me Sister! I'm a few years older than you, so call me Sister Miaoyan from now on!"

"Yes—Sister Miaoyan."

This time, Yin Yunze didn't dare to hide anymore. He lowered his head and called out "Sister," then endured the strange feeling and let Li Miaoyan torture his ears.

Fortunately, Li Miaoyan didn't go too far; after pinching a few times, she withdrew her hand.

"Alright, Yun'er, I'm leaving the affairs of Anqing Prefecture to you from now on." Looking at Yin Yunze, Li Miaoyan smiled and said softly, "Of course, there's no need to rush. Just proceed at your own pace."

"Okay, Sister Miaoyan!"

At this moment, Yin Yunze naturally agreed to whatever Li Miaoyan.

"Most importantly," Li Miaoyan, her gaze passing over Yin Yunze, a hint of pity on her face, "Yun'er, you must continue to treat your people kindly! All beings suffer, and only we can extend a helping hand to them—"

"----yes!"

Hearing Li Miaoyan this, Yin Yunze was taken aback for a moment, but quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to come to your sister Miaoyan! She will definitely help you!"

Seeing that Yin Yunze agreed, Li Miaoyan gave another guarantee and nodded, saying, "Well then, I also have other matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer. If you have some free time, you can go south to see the Great Radiant Wheel King. At that time, the Great Radiant Wheel King will surely reward you— Great Radiant Wheel King, Kingdom of Eternal Joy— "

"The Great Radiant Wheel King, the Kingdom of Eternal Joy!"

Upon hearing Li Miaoyan, Yin Yunze also lowered his head and recited the slogan.

The next moment, Yin Yunze felt the light around him dim.

Looking up again, I found that Li Miaoyan had already disappeared from the spot.

Looking at the scene where he was now all alone, Yin Yunze suddenly felt a sense of realization.

How strange, Yin Yunze actually did something that led to the Prefectural City God coming to his door. As a result, the Minister of the Celestial Person Division of the Heavenly Wheel Sect intervened and helped Yin Yunze appease the Prefectural City God. The Minister even showered Yin Yunze with concern, giving him cultivation Cultivation Method, promoting him, and even Yin Yunze to call her "sister" in a dream—

The reason for doing this was that the Celestial Person.

It's really strange, why would Yin Yunze have this dream?

However, when he saw the three items in his hand—one command and two Jade Slip.

Yin Yunze discovered that reality is sometimes even less illogical than dreams.

After all, how could Li Miaoyan, the leader of these six departments, mistake two people of completely different races, genders, appearances, and strengths for the same person?

Could it be because Yin Yunze can also cultivate the Hungry Ghost Path to the Golden Core Stage, and at the same time possesses the Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber?

No, that's not right----

Yin Yunze quickly dismissed this speculation.

If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be so bad, but how could Li Miaoyan make such a mistake?

Moreover, Yin Yunze made it very clear that he was forcing the magistrates of those eight counties to expel every single member of the Heavenly Wheel Sect.

This is very likely the reason why Li Miaoyan came here.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but Yin Yunze didn't believe that someone as powerful as Li Miaoyan could personally investigate and fail to find out the reason behind it.

If nothing is found, Li Miaoyan will not appear in front of Yin Yunze.

Since Li Miaoyan had already approached Yin Yunze, she couldn't possibly have made a mistake!

Thinking of this, Yin Yunze suddenly realized something.

If it were an ordinary person who acted illogically, that might be possible.

Li Miaoyan is at least a Qi Nurturing Realm expert; how could she do something so illogical?

It can only be said that Li Miaoyan definitely has her own logic for doing things, but Yin Yunze couldn't grasp it for the time being!

He simply used the Authority over Frost and Snow to make himself a chair, leaned back in it, Yin Yunze began to ponder the reasons why Li Miaoyan did this.

Although Yin Yunze and Li Miaoyan, he couldn't think about the issue from Li Miaoyan's perspective.

However, Yin Yunze could try to think from the perspective of the Heavenly Wheel Sect about why Li Miaoyan not only didn't attack Yin Yunze, who had always been in his way, but instead treated her so well.

Because Yin Yunze is Innate Holy Spirit?

Or perhaps, Li Miaoyan was only considering Yin Yunze because he was still a child?

While those Innate Holy Spirit may be exceptional, they certainly wouldn't be exceptional to this extent.

Thinking it over, trying to strip away other distracting factors, Yin Yunze considered things from the purest perspective of self-interest.

After pondering for a long time, Yin Yunze finally understood.

That Li Miaoyan wasn't mistaken out of sheer confusion; rather, she had been pretending to be ignorant from the very beginning.

Even the way Li Miaoyan addresses Yin Yunze as "Yun'er" suggests this.

Perhaps Li Miaoyan already knows Yin Yunze's alias in this world, Green Hill Yi Yun.

Knowing this name, Li Miaoyan called Yin Yunze "Yun'er" instead of the more formal "Qingnü".

Li Miaoyan acted just now only after understanding everything.

As for the reason for doing so?

It's very simple, because this is in the best interest of the Heavenly Wheel Sect.

What is the purpose of the Heavenly Wheel Sect?

While they might not have complete control, they could at least influence the half of Anqing Prefecture that had been affected by the disaster.

So, who controls this area now, encompassing half a prefecture and eight counties?

Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, God of Frost and Snow, Nine-Tailed White Fox, Green Hill Yi Yun.

Just now, Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens Green Hill Yi Yun has acquired another identity: Second Prison Warden of the Heavenly Wheel Sect, Celestial Person Division.

Although he was caught off guard by Li Miaoyan and didn't dare to think too much about it, Yin Yunze was still confused.

But the fact is, Yin Yunze himself admitted to accepting this identity.

They also addressed Li Miaoyan, the head of the Celestial Person Division, as "elder sister," and chanted the slogans of the Heavenly Wheel Sect together.

From that moment on, whether Yin Yunze acknowledged it in her heart or not, she was already a member of the Heavenly Wheel Sect.

Putting everything else aside, if Li Miaoyan has the ability to record videos, this would be irrefutable proof that Yin Yunze joined the Heavenly Wheel Sect.

When the Heavenly Wheel Sect claimed that Yin Yunze was their Second Prison Warden, there was also evidence that Yin Yunze himself admitted to this identity.

So, in other people's eyes, Yin Yunze was the Second Prison Warden of the Heavenly Wheel Sect's Celestial Person Division.

In other words, just now, Li Miaoyan produced two replicable Cultivation Method and a nominal position as the Second Prison Warden.

The Heavenly Wheel Sect had nominally acquired these eight counties without firing a single shot.

Furthermore, the remaining half of the prefecture is only a matter of time.

What other option could be more in line with the interests of the Heavenly Wheel Sect?

Conversely, if they were to launch an attack on Yin Yunze under the pretext of avenging the Third Prison Warden of the Evil Ghost Division.

The Prefectural City God, or even the City God of the state, would not stand idly by and watch this happen.

Even if Yin Yunze and the County City God fought to the death, Yin Yunze was Innate Holy Spirit from this place, his ancestral home was here.

In the eyes of the local deities, Yin Yunze was one of their own from birth.

In the context of the City God system, the County City God is indeed closer to the people, but Yin Yunze can't be considered an outsider.

Even if your own children have a fight and it results in someone's death, it's still your own family matter.

But what kind of nonsense is it of you, a stinking missionary from the South, to come here and beat our child?!

It was also in Yin Yunze's name that Li Miaoyan was able to obtain the position of Qingling County City God on Yin Yunze's behalf.

After all, in a sense, this was the spoils that Yin Yunze deserved after eliminating the County City God.

However, if Li Miaoyan wants the Heavenly Wheel Sect to sit in the position of County City God, then it might be the state City God who has to come and have a good discussion with Li Miaoyan about how their reach has become too far.

This is why, initially, the Heavenly Wheel Sect only sent a Golden Core Stage Third Prison Warden to oversee this matter.

It's like the mesh of a fishing net; only small fish can move in and out of the mesh.

As for the subsequent alliance between the Third Prison Warden and the City God, their plot to harm Yin Yunze was nothing more than the actions of unscrupulous elders who sold out their village nephews for personal gain.

That's why Li Miaoyan needed to obscure the relationship between Yin Yunze and the Third Prison Warden.

Since of this incident, only Yin Yunze is still alive, and even the City God is completely dead.

Why can't the situation be that hostile villains contacted the City God to plot against the Third Prison Warden Heavenly Wheel Sect, Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens?

Or perhaps that person was using the name of the Third Prison Warden to tarnish the reputation of the Heavenly Wheel Sect, and as a result, he just happened to run into the real Third Prison Warden of the Evil Ghost Division Heavenly Wheel Sect.

As for why Yin Yunze later drove away the people of the Heavenly Wheel Sect, it can be explained that there were traitors within the Heavenly Wheel Sect, and Yin Yunze was heartbroken!

As long as the story is made to look plausible, and at first glance it seems to be true, then you can find ways to obscure the truth behind it.

In short, Li Miaoyan activated her skill, and the Book of Time...

Whether Yin Yunze admits it in his heart or not, can Yin Yunze openly oppose it?

If members of the Heavenly Wheel Sect come seeking help later, will Yin Yunze, the Second Prison Warden of the Celestial Person Division, be able to expel them without hesitation as before?

If she really dared to do that, Li Miaoyan would definitely come over again and have a good talk with her disobedient younger sister, Yin Yunze.

At that time, it won't be the Minister of the Celestial Person Division of the Heavenly Wheel Sect who will come to attack Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens of Anqing Prefecture.

Instead, it was within the Heavenly Wheel Sect Celestial Person Division that Li Miaoyan, the older sister, was disciplining her bratty younger sister, Yin Yunze.

This was an internal matter of the Heavenly Wheel Sect, it just happened to happen to occur within the territory of Anqing Prefecture.

Once the matter was turned into a family affair, it became difficult for the City God system to intervene.

If you think it's not good to teach Yin Yunze a lesson in Anqing Prefecture, then Li Miaoyan can take Yin Yunze back to the Heavenly Wheel Sect headquarters to teach him a lesson!

If they can guarantee that Yin Yunze won't lose his life, the City God system might not be very interested in protecting Yin Yunze at all costs.

As for Yin Yunze daring to openly admit to betraying his religion, wouldn't that give others even more ammunition against him?

With the Heavenly Wheel Sect holding the moral high ground, the City God system could at most issue a warning to the Heavenly Wheel Sect not to go too far.

As long as the Heavenly Wheel Sect focuses its actions solely on Yin Yunze as an individual, then the City God system and the Heavenly Wheel Sect don't really have much of a conflict of interest.

If Yin Yunze doesn't explain the key points, then in the eyes of others, Yin Yunze is a member of the Heavenly Wheel Sect.

When that time comes, what will the Heavenly Wheel Sect do? Will Yin Yunze be able to remain unscathed?

Under the prevailing trend, Yin Yunze could only be swept along.

Even if Yin Yunze does nothing, the enemies of the Heavenly Wheel Sect will still devote a large portion of their attention to Yin Yunze.

After all, those enemies wouldn't gamble on whether Yin Yunze would actually follow suit.

Once he understood the key to this, Yin Yunze fell silent.

Li Miaoyan truly lives up to his title as the head of the Six Ministries.

He feigned ignorance, thus making that haphazard and confused decision.

They turned Yin Yunze, who was originally their enemy, into one of their own.

Afterwards, it took Yin Yunze a long time to figure out the key point.

Furthermore, the Prefectural City God himself was a crucial witness throughout the entire process.

Even if Yin Yunze didn't say anything, her relationship with Li Miaoyan would probably leak out from the Prefectural City God's mouth.

Thinking about it this way, the strange disappearance of Li Miaoyan during her fight with the Prefectural City God can be explained.

That is, to take advantage of this opportunity to be alone, to make it clear that Yin Yunze is the sister who is throwing a tantrum.

It seems that, in the eyes of the Prefectural City God at this moment, the great man who created Yin Yunze, an Innate Holy Spirit, is none other than the Great Radiant Wheel King of the Heavenly Wheel Sect.

Unless Yin Yunze can bring out another powerful figure, she really won't be able to explain herself clearly.

The problem is, Yin Yunze has no one behind him.

If Yin Yunze himself didn't know exactly what happened, you could have imagined it was someone else.

Even those few Subordinate Deity Yin Yunze, if they were to think rationally and objectively, might not be able to figure it out.

Was it true that Yin Yunze had no connection with the Heavenly Wheel Sect, or was Yin Yunze just throwing a tantrum and saying he had nothing to do with the Heavenly Wheel Sect?

Upon discovering that his new identity had been almost definitively confirmed, Yin Yunze felt helpless but didn't experience much negative emotion.

After all, Li Miaoyan's appearance exuded a friendly aura. She offered Cultivation Method, a divine position, and constantly addressed others as "sister," maximizing her emotional value.

Throughout the entire process, Li Miaoyan was giving things to Yin Yunze without asking for anything in return.

They didn't even mention sending a few people, ostensibly to help Yin Yunze, but actually intending to plant their own people.

All I can say is that Li Miaoyan's methods were too ingenious.

This significantly reduced Yin Yunze's negative perception of the Heavenly Wheel Sect.

At least, after meeting Li Miaoyan, Yin Yunze felt that her initial judgment of the Heavenly Wheel Sect was not accurate.

It's hard to say about others, but Li Miaoyan from our conversation just now, Yin Yunze feels that Li Miaoyan genuinely cares about the people.
