The Sumeru Talisman?

Everyone was being investigated, but no one expected that Teacher Tong would reveal such a big secret. She really is a master of keeping things under wraps!

The manager and the teacher standing nearby were quite surprised.

Li Xiaoxiao remained calm, as she had known about the investigation for a long time.

She lowered her head and crossed out the concealed information on Jia Xitong's form, then collected the information. "Thank you for your cooperation. I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

Is it really that simple?

This group of people came and went in a hurry.

Yet it always gives people the feeling that it's not so simple.

As soon as Jia Xitong returned to Xianlong Peak, she told Shang Yanting about the matter.

"You mean someone from the so-called temple came to see you today and investigated your background?" (M.cascoo.net)

Upon hearing this, Shang Yanting's expression immediately changed.

"Yes, that's right!"

Jia Xitong nodded, then added, "Will it be a problem if I tell them I know how to use the 'Migration Talisman'?"

"...Probably not. Since the temple investigated the teachers of alchemy, formation, and weapon crafting, they probably weren't after the talismans."

After saying that, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly strode out the door, beckoning Huo Rui and Niu Chuanchuan, "Go and clean up the Temple of the God of War and light the incense inside."

"There's a Temple of the God of War in our peak?"

Jia Xitong was taken aback when she heard this. How come she had never seen him before?

"Fortunately, my senior brothers built a Martial God Temple while they were at it."

Shang Yanting pulled her along. At that moment, everyone was cleaning the abandoned temple, and the incense was burning brightly.

Who would have thought that even the peak master of a peak would have to join in this big clean-up? Jia Xitong, carrying a bucket of water, couldn't help but sigh – Xianlong Peak really needs handymen disciples!

At this moment, a group of uninvited guests were heading towards Xianlong Peak. Seeing the billowing black smoke from the mountainside, Li Xiaoxiao and her group stopped on the spot. "Is Xianlong Peak on fire?"

Upon hearing this, two attendants dressed in black flew out from behind her.

The two tried to observe the situation inside through the Star Array, but something seemed to be blocking their vision and spiritual senses. Although Xianlong Peak was only recently established, it had developed extremely rapidly.

A group of people stopped at the foot of the mountain. "An envoy from the temple has come to pay a visit and request an audience with the peak master of Xianlong Peak."

The sound traveled far with the help of spiritual energy.

"They came really fast."

Shang Yanting gestured to the person holding the mugwort to continue, while the others put away everything they were holding.

"what happens?"

The senior students sensed that something was amiss.

"It's not clear yet."

But those who come with ill intentions will not come with good intentions.

There was no time to go into more details. Shang Yanting looked at everyone in the peak and said, "To avoid trouble in the future, I would like to ask you all to act according to the circumstances."

##

They came in.

Li Xiaoxiao was accompanied by a group of servants from the Martial God Temple. In addition, Jia Xitong also noticed several people with strange symbols on their bodies.

"Due to certain reasons, the temple needs to investigate all other categories of monks. Would that be convenient?"

Shang Yanting's gaze swept over these people. "What are you investigating?"

"I'm sorry, I have no comment."

Li Xiaoxiao and the other divine servants remained expressionless. "Our actions are the will of the Martial God, and the four deans must all follow orders. These people beside us are assistants appointed by the Wanqi Family. If the Peak Master has any doubts, please ask them directly."

After saying that, she led her people inside.

After a thorough search of the peak, a divine servant came to report.

“Holy Maiden, there is a statue of the God of Manifestation on Xianlong Peak.”

"Holy Maiden, there is a Martial God Hall on Xianlong Peak, where incense is being burned."

But who burns incense at home and produces so much smoke? Even a martial god would be driven away by it!

The attendant couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Jia Xitong had no idea what they were up to, and couldn't help but look at Shang Yanting beside her. As their eyes met, Shang Yanting pressed her shoulder, gesturing for her to look straight ahead.

A group of people searched the categories for a long time but found nothing that violated regulations.

Li Xiaoxiao finally turned her gaze to Shang Yanting, "I would like to trouble Peak Master and this talisman cultivator to come with us."

Where to go?

The two followed them onto the flying magical artifact, watching as they got further and further away from Xianlong Peak.

The flying artifact continued northward, until a massive statue appeared before them, its entire mountaintop flattened and carved out in the shape of the Tai Chi symbol. Atop the statue sat an elderly man with flowing white hair, his table littered with copper coins from a recent divination.

This person is none other than Zhou Bugong, the most powerful divination expert at Dingtian Academy.

The discovery of the rare treasure in Guangluoyu Sea was also deduced from his knowledge.

Calculating a person's destiny is naturally within their grasp.

The temple headquarters required them to eliminate heretics, so naturally they couldn't let even one go.

A fortune teller!

Jia Xitong silently held Shang Yanting's hand, somewhat nervous.

At this moment, Zhou Bu Gong... was very tired.

How many people have I given a free fortune reading today?

Six people? Seven people?

Making people work for free and then demanding they exceed their daily quotas—doesn't the logic suggest that exceeding these quotas will shorten one's lifespan?

He put the copper coins into the tortoise shell, then threw the shell to the two men, saying, "Place your hands together, shake it three times, and then pour out the copper coins inside."

Shang Yanting grabbed Jia Xitong's hand, placed it on the tortoise shell, and then wrapped it up.

Swish swish——

After three strikes, the copper coin fell.

As the copper coin fell, Shang Yanting suddenly pressed himself against Jia Xitong, causing her to look over in surprise.

"It's nothing."

Shang Yanting reached out and hooked his arm around her waist, pressing the two even closer together.

oh!

He hooked his arm around his waist!

Is spring coming?

Can this fortune teller predict their marriage destiny?

Zhou Bugong was observing their destinies. Ordinary, that's all there was to it. Logically speaking, this young man was at least the youngest Martial King of Dingtian Academy, a genius among geniuses, yet his destiny was so unremarkable.

"Peak Master Zhou, have you noticed something?"

Li Xiaoxiao urged him on from the side, making Zhou Bugong, who wanted to do the divination again, give up.

"Your fates are ordinary, nothing unusual." They are no different from the previous people.

With the blessing of Zhou Bu Gong, they were finally cleared of suspicion.

"Does the Holy Maiden have anything else to do?"

Shang Yanting looked at Li Xiaoxiao, his brows furrowing slightly, revealing an impatient anger.

At this point, they have been cleared of suspicion.

Li Xiaoxiao bowed to him, "I'm very sorry to disturb you, Peak Master. I will send someone to escort you both back."

"No need."

Shang Yanting coldly refused, flicked his sleeve, released the Water Cloud Boat, and pulled Jia Xitong away.

On the way back

Shang Yanting squatted down and picked up the blue purse hanging from Jia Xitong's waist to examine it.

"Dear host, what's wrong?"

Because of his actions, Jia Xitong also paid attention to the purse. "Is there something wrong with this purse?"

"I just saw it glow."

Although that light was fleeting...
