Chong Jiu gently pinched the tip of her nose and said, "The other party was dressed in black robes, so I can't tell who it is. He taught you the soul restriction technique, but the one who stained your nose was someone else."

"who?"

"The Holy Star Sect Master, Yang Rui."

Shu Jianyue frowned. "What grudge do I have against him that he would go to such lengths to scheme against me?"

"Have you forgotten what happened in the Central Spirit Realm?" Chong Jiu lightly flicked her forehead. "The Fang family's daughter is his wife, and you caused her to lose her position as a teacher at Shengshi Academy."

Shu Jianyue scoffed, "I didn't cause her any trouble, yet she still dared to make me uncomfortable. She schemed against me so many times; if Xin Yue hadn't died in the secret realm, do you think she would have gotten away with it?"

"I'll go to the Holy Star Sect tomorrow and cause them trouble."

Chong Jiu naturally had no objections; she could do whatever she wanted, and he would only hand her the knife and not stop her.

Yu Yangzi raised his hand and asked, "Grandmaster Uncle, what grudge do you have against the Holy Star Sect?"

Knowing in advance can help avoid accidents.

Shu Jianyue briefly explained the matter of the Holy Spirit Domain, saying, "From now on, we should have less contact with the Holy Star Sect. My son and wife are not good people, and Yang Rui is definitely not good either."

Yu Yangzi nodded. "Grandmaster Uncle, is Gongchengxi doing well at Shengshi Academy?"

Shu Jianyue was stunned for a moment, then slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, I forgot to ask."

Gong Chengxi and Zheng Chou were tricked by Xu Chong on their way back to Shengshi Academy, and she forgot to ask what happened afterward.

Gu Pingsheng also didn't tell her any further news.

Yu Yangzi was stunned. "What's going on?"

"Cough, it's nothing, I just forgot to ask about Gongchengxi." Shu Jianyue's eyes darted away shyly.

Yu Yangzi's lips twitched. "I hope my grandmaster uncle will take good care of Gongchengxi."

Shu Jianyue nodded quickly, "Cough, I know, I know, I just forgot about him. I'll definitely go and see him properly this time."

Chong Jiu looked at her with amusement and said, "There's something else you should be interested in."

Shu Jianyue immediately looked at him, signaling him to speak quickly.

Chong Jiu laughed and said, "That Wen Qitian was also arranged by the Third Elder. As for how he broke through so quickly, the Third Elder doesn't know either."

"But the Third Elder's goal is to acquire Fuchen Mountain and Yunxiao Auction House, then leave Hunyuan Immortal Sect and become the sect leader of Qitian Sect."

Yu Yangzi's gaze towards the Third Elder suddenly became complicated. "He really doesn't know the value of firewood and rice until he's in charge of the household."

He wanted to relinquish his position as sect leader, but others were eager to climb the ranks.

However, given Wen Qitian's abilities, it will be difficult for the third brother to rise to power!

Shu Jianyue thought for a moment and said, "His only bargaining chip is the soul restriction technique that mysterious person taught him, but why would that person teach him that?"

Yu Yangzi was taken aback. "Grandmaster Uncle, weren't we talking about Third Brother wanting to become the sect leader of Qitian Sect?" How did it suddenly jump to the mysterious person?

Shu Jianyue casually waved her hand and said, "That's not important. If he gets the position, it's his ability; if he doesn't, it's his incompetence."

To her, it was just gossip.

What does it matter to her who becomes the leader of which sect?

Chongjiu tried to recall the Third Elder's memories but found nothing. "He himself doesn't even know this."

"However, the Jade Palm Sect should pay more attention to Wen Qitian in the future. Since he comes here so often, it's possible that he might be plotting against the Hunyuan Immortal Sect."

The Third Elder plotted against Wen Qitian, but Wen Qitian may well have had his own schemes to turn the tables on him.

Yu Yangzi nodded, "I will be careful."

"Grandmaster Uncle, what do you plan to do with this third brother?"

Shu Jianyue glanced at the Third Elder, who was still unconscious, and said, "Just follow the sect rules."

"By the way, Chongjiu, have you seen any trace of Yun Guizong?"

Chong Jiu shook his head. "We should ask the Li family about this."

Shu Jianyue immediately turned her gaze to Li Ming.

Seeing this, Li Ming shook his head and said, "He, I really don't know. Fei Fei took him away, but I really don't know where she took him."

Shu Jianyue looked at Li Feifei, fed her another pill, and said, "If you keep pretending to be dead, I'll really let you die."

"Stand up and tell me, where is Yun Guizong?"

Li Feifei opened her eyes and looked at her, shaking her head and saying, "I don't know. I originally put him in the Li family's secret room, but when I went there again, he was gone. I searched for him for a long time but couldn't find him."

After all, it's a demigod beast; who wouldn't want to form a contract with it?

If he hadn't refused, she would have already entered into a contract with him.

"Who knows about your secret room?" Shu Jianyue asked.

Li Feifei was silent for a while before saying, "Only a few direct descendants of the Li family know."

"Is the person currently managing the Cloud Sky Auction House a direct descendant of the Li family?"

Li Feifei nodded, "That's my older brother."

Shu Jianyue nodded and stood up, looking at Yu Yangzi and saying, "I'll leave the two of them to you. We'll head back to Fuchen Mountain first."

Yu Yangzi nodded, signaling the Second Elder and Fourth Elder to take the father and daughter away first.

"Grandmaster Uncle, please feel free to ask if you need any help."

Shu Jianyue nodded, "Don't worry, I won't forget you if anything happens."

After saying that, he pulled Zhong Jiu away.

As they approached Fuchen Mountain, Shu Jianyue asked, "Has Ji Qianheng gone mad?"

"That's about it." Even someone who isn't stupid will react much slower.

"The side effects of soul searching are so great!" Shu Jianyue shook her head.

Chong Jiu chuckled and said, "It's better if I do it. If someone else did it, he would be dead for good."

The two returned to Fuchen Mountain and rested for a while before dawn broke, which meant they had spent the entire night there.

Shu Jianyue also planned to go to the capital of Fengxian Kingdom, as she hadn't found the Yun Gui Sect yet.

Before she could even leave the house, Yun Guiwang arrived with the list written by Lu Yiyang.

"Your Excellency, these are all people who buy spirit beasts."

Shu Jianyue took it and looked at it. "Wow, the Holy Star Sect took quite a few!"

"I was just about to cause them trouble anyway, now we can deal with them all at once."

"Guiwang, go to Yunxiao Auction House and interrogate that new manager. See if you can find Yun Guizong."

"In addition, you will temporarily take over the management of Yunxiao Auction House. When Yun Guizong returns, the two of you will manage it together. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yun Guiwang immediately bowed and replied.

Shu Jianyue had only taken two steps when she remembered that the matter she had asked Yun Guilai to investigate at Yun Guilou yesterday was now clear and no longer needed to be investigated.

“Guiwang, let Guilai and Guilou come back. There’s no need to investigate anymore; everything has been clarified.”

Yun Guiwang raised an eyebrow and quickly replied, "Yes."

As soon as Shu Jianyue stepped out of Fuyun Palace, Chong Jiu grabbed her and hugged her tightly.

"What are you doing."

"What, can't you hug your own wife?" Chong Jiu lowered his head and bit her earlobe.

Shu Jianyue shuddered. "Stop fooling around. We need to go to the Holy Star Sect to bring back the spirit beasts from my Floating Dust Mountain."

"Yes, Madam." Chong Jiu put his arm around her and teleported towards the Holy Star Sect.
