Perhaps Master Had Long Since Known Everything Through Some Unseen Power

"Could it be because of a conflict?"

Lu Changzhi frowned.

That would be a much bigger problem.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi stopped worrying about it.

It's still early, let's wait and see.

After all, another possibility cannot be ruled out.

Just like how the Ma Clan cultivated relationships with the elders of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

The Xiao Clan may also be planning the same thing.

After all, it is an ancient elixir, and as a pill that heals soul wounds, it is still sufficient for building relationships.

They found a place to rest at a nearby tavern.

Subsequently, Lu Changzhi dispatched his clones to areas closer to the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

In this way, neither problem can be solved at the expense of the other.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ye, along with Mu Fan, also returned with the message.

"Be cautious. Only say you're halfway there... no, a third is enough."

As they walked, Mu Fan sent a telepathic message to Xiao Ye, reminding him of something.

Xiao Ye nodded:

"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother."

My current strength is insufficient to completely resolve the crisis on the Ma Clan's side.

According to the sect's ancestral teachings, we must indeed be careful and cautious.

Upon hearing that Xiao Ye had brought his senior brother back, the Xiao Clan gave him a warm welcome.

During the banquet, Xiao Ye chatted with Xiao Ya for a while, asking her if she had encountered anything recently.

Seeing that nothing seemed unusual, Xiao Ye stopped asking questions.

Mu Fan listened to their conversation for a long time, and after they stopped, he asked:

"Your sister?"

Xiao Ye nodded:

"Cousin."

Mu Fan glanced at Xiao Ya again, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"You seem very concerned about his safety?"

Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment, then transmitted his voice:

"Senior brother, I recently received some information that someone might do something bad to her in the near future. That's why I've returned."

Mu Fan nodded, showing no surprise, then shook his head and said:

"Is the information complete? Does it mention who did it? What was the specific time? Was it someone you know or a stranger? And roughly where?"

A series of questions made Xiao Ye pause in surprise, and he couldn't help but take another look at Mu Fan.

As expected of my senior, he considers things so comprehensively.

"This information isn't very clear, but it should be around this time."

"So what do you plan to do?" Mu Fan asked again.

Xiao Ye briefly explained his thoughts.

It simply means I need to be more careful on my end, and also remind Xiao Ya to be more vigilant.

"Junior brother still has room to grow."

Mu Fan sighed, then said:

"If the other party is indeed targeting you intentionally, doing this might actually alert them and postpone the crisis. You can't possibly keep watching her indefinitely, right?"

Xiao Ye paused for a moment, then nodded.

Mu Fan continued:

"Furthermore, if she is vigilant, the other party is likely to be vigilant as well, and if they make a move, they will inevitably be affected."

"The information you have right now is too limited. Vague and unclear information about danger can cause panic, and sometimes, a crisis may just stem from the panic about the crisis itself."

Xiao Ye listened quietly, a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a long silence, he took a deep breath and said:

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. However, in your opinion, what should I do?"

Mu Fan smiled slightly, revealing a profound and unfathomable expression, and replied:

"Pretend to wait."

"Pretending to wait?"

"That's right."

Mu Fan nodded. "Pretend you know nothing, act like nothing happened, and wait patiently. When he shows his face, grab him and pull him out."

After a pause, Mu Fan glanced outside and added:

"You may not know much, but perhaps our master already knows everything in the unseen realm."

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, then his pupils contracted slightly, and he looked somewhat incredulous:

"Senior brother, you mean, the three elders..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Fan raised his hand and made a shushing gesture, saying meaningfully:

"Some things, you can know a person's face, but it's hard to know their heart."

Xiao Ye didn't speak again, but a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Mu Fan tilted his head back, a smile appearing on his face.

Hasn't that established his image as an unfathomable senior brother?

Night falls.

"Looks like I should wait until tomorrow to check it out."

With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi took the bed out of his storage ring.

I had just lain down when I heard the system remind me:

"Master, the opportunity is moving."

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow and turned to look.

Sure enough, the light moved rapidly through the darkness.

Its direction of movement was clearly towards the outside of the Xiao Clan.

"Looks like I probably won't be able to get a good night's rest again tonight."

Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi put the bed into his storage ring, pulled up his cloak, and followed after him.

A quick glance with his divine sense revealed that the way out was not through the main gate, but rather by climbing over the wall.

After checking the information of the person who possessed the Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill, although they had concealed their form and aura, they were as if they were nothing before the system's investigation.

"The Third Elder of the Xiao Clan?"

Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment, his expression somewhat amused:

"Running out in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, pretending to be okay, I can't even believe it myself."

Judging from this alone, it doesn't seem to match either of the two possibilities I had previously guessed.

I just don't know where the Third Elder is going.

Keep a safe distance and keep up.

Not long after, Lu Changzhi's expression became somewhat strange.

"If I remember correctly, this straight-ahead direction should lead to the Ma Clan, right?"

There were some unexpected events, but not many.

It's quite a coincidence.

But such a thing happened within Xiao Ye's family, the Xiao Clan.

Surprisingly, it actually makes some sense!

Sure enough, after some time, the Third Elder Xiao Zhong, arrived at a house belonging to the Ma Clan.

A short while later, several figures walked from the direction of the Ma Clan's house and entered the house.

Among them was Ma Yunteng, the head of the Ma Clan.

Then, an array was erected in the courtyard, isolating it from outside detection.

However, given the level of this formation, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to simply infiltrate it with his mind and hear a sound.

The two sides talked at length.

Lu Changzhi didn't find anything particularly surprising about it.

He personally brought the gifts to the Ma Clan in the middle of the night, already knowing their background.

Even without listening, one can guess the general idea.

It's nothing more than Xiao Zhong's plan to cooperate with the Ma Clan to help him take the position of family head.

In return, the Ma Clan will receive certain benefits from the Xiao Clan.

As for the Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill, it was given to Ma Yunteng as a gift.

"Judging from Xiao Zhong's description of the Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill, he doesn't seem like someone who is unaware of its value."

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

Even a single Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill would be a treasure to protect the clan, especially for Lineage like the Xiao Clan and Ma Clan.

The result was delivered so easily.

"Sure enough, whatever is lacking will be found in the name."

With a sigh, Ma Yunteng changed the subject from inside the house, saying:

"Xiao Zhong, you're seeking help, but with all this stuff you brought, I can't see your sincerity."
