Shu Jianyue turned around, wanting to see who her brother was, but Chong Jiu blocked her way. "What's wrong?"

Chong Jiu withdrew his gaze and looked down at her. "It's alright. Let's go inside first and let the brother and sister talk."

As he spoke, he led Shu Jianyue inside.

Shu Jianyue looked at him in surprise, "When did you become so understanding?"

Chong Jiu looked down at her and raised an eyebrow. "Do I seem unreasonable to you?"

“At least not to others,” Shu Jianyue said with a laugh. “However, this is good, especially to girls.”

Chong Jiu laughed, "Yes, I'm only good to you. Other girls don't catch my eye."

"Good boy." Shu Jianyue smiled and touched his chin.

"In that case, what is the reward?" Chong Jiu asked with a mocking look in his eyes.

Shu Jianyue could see right through it and laughed, "I'll give you a big reward when we get back."

Everyone who passed by them shuddered.

Despite his seemingly aloof demeanor, he allowed a girl to flirt with him in public, and he even seemed to enjoy it.

Hiss...

Chong Jiu ignored those people and led Shu Jianyue toward where Yin Yue was.

They now live in the Spirit Beast Sect, and their seats are next to his.

Yin Yue was surprised to see the two of them. "Didn't you two go out on other business? Why are you here again?"

Duan Yuanyuan, who was sitting next to him, also looked at the two of them.

Shu Jianyue waved her hand and sat down with Chong Jiu before saying, "I'll tell you when we get back."

"The Chongxian Sect has a good status, so many people have come."

Yin Yue rolled her eyes at her, annoyed. "Could you not have sent so many people? Our sect has been established for four thousand years and is a major sect. All sects and families in Shenzhou should give us face, okay?"

"That's true." Shu Jianyue nodded, looking at the snacks and spiritual tea on the table, none of which were her favorites.

Chong Jiu took out the spiritual elixir and snacks he had prepared for her from his storage ring and placed them in front of her.

Yin Yue's lips twitched slightly upon seeing this. "What, are you afraid there's poison in here?"

Shu Jianyue glanced at him and said indifferently, "Can't I not like it?"

Yin Yue choked, "Fine, why not?"

Duan Yuanyuan glanced at the pastries in front of her, then at her own. Well, she was a deity, so their status was different.

Duan Yuanyuan nodded after eating a little, then said to Yin Yue, "I'm going out for a walk, I'll be back in a bit."

Yin Yue said, "Don't go too far. If you need anything, just send a telepathic message. Don't send it to the wrong person."

"Shut up." Duan Yuanyuan glared at him, her face flushed, then got up and left.

Because she misrepresented the message last time, she practiced diligently for a whole day, which made Yin Yue laugh to death.

Seeing Shu and Yue looking at her curiously, Yin Yue directly told them about Duan Yuanyuan's embarrassing incident.

Shu Jianyue glanced at him speechlessly, thinking to herself that this man would definitely have a hard time finding a wife in the future, as he had no idea how to save face for a girl.

Na Weixian helped her brother to his seat, then came to Shu Jianyue and, seeing the snacks she had brought, smiled and said, "Don't you like the ones we prepared?"

"Well, these aren't my favorite foods, so he brought them out." Shu Jianyue felt there was nothing wrong with saying this; if they weren't familiar with each other, saying it like this might make the other person overthink things.

She wasn't very familiar with Naweixian, but she knew her personality well enough to agree that being direct was better than beating around the bush.

Wei Xian just smiled and didn't say anything, after all, it's impossible to please everyone.

"By the way, the new God Lord will also be here today. I heard that the previous God Son, Wei Sheng Nan Lan, has also left the temple. Do you know what happened?"

She had seen Lian Sheng from that temple following behind her the last time, so she must know something about it.

She asked the question not to investigate anything, but simply because her gossip instincts were burning.

Shu Jianyue looked at her gossipy expression and shook her head with a smile. "I'm not really sure about the actual situation either. At most, I heard that the former God Lord didn't listen to that person's arrangements, so he was removed."

"I heard they're still stuck up there and can't come down. I wonder what they're making them do. They don't even want to be the god anymore."

Shu Jianyue said this for two reasons: first, to let everyone remember his dictatorial behavior; and second, to lay the groundwork for future developments. Moreover, what she said was true; that was indeed the case.

Navis pulled up a chair and leaned closer to her, whispering, "How did you find out?"

Shu Jianyue glanced at Chong Jiu and said, "He found out."

"Aren't you the sect leader's wife? Are you sure you want to listen to gossip here and not go and greet the guests?"

Navian waved her hand casually, "I don't need to worry about those. I'll take care of you all."

"Tell me again, did the divine son leave the temple because his father stepped down?"

Shu Jianyue shook her head as she looked at her. She really hadn't expected this lady to be so gossipy.

I picked and chose some things to say to her, and then we talked about Yicheng.

Shu Jianyue directly told them that they had discovered Yicheng had become a den of evil cultivators. By now, a lot of people had gathered around them to listen to the gossip, including Yin Yue.

Chong Jiu remained silent throughout, only occasionally pouring some spiritual elixir for Shu Jianyue to keep her from getting thirsty.

"Has that city truly become a den of evil cultivators?" Na Weixian asked incredulously.

Shu Jianyue glanced at the person to her left and said, "Of course, we were originally going to Yicheng on business, but we came back immediately after discovering this problem."

"I never expected that someone would be so bold as to be so arrogant in Shenzhou, a place close to the God Emperor's jurisdiction, turning an entire city into a den of evil cultivators. They are truly audacious."

Navian nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Then, upon further reflection, he realized something was amiss. "Isn't this city under Mingyang's jurisdiction? He's already a Golden Immortal; is it really necessary for him to embark on the path of evil cultivation?"

"The City Lord of Yicheng is a Golden Immortal?" Shu Jianyue turned to look at Chong Jiu in surprise.

With such a high level of cultivation, there is no need to take such a risk and switch to evil practices.

Navis nodded. "That's common knowledge."

Shu Jianyue frowned. "But what we saw couldn't be wrong. A thick evil aura shrouded the sky above Yicheng. When we were leaving, several people came out to stop us. They were all evil cultivators."

"Do you think something might have happened to Lord Ming?"

Yin Yue had been silent ever since she said that Yicheng had become Xiecheng. Now that she heard her say this, she immediately said, "Let's go and take a look again tomorrow. Whether he is in trouble or not, we need to check."

"Moreover, the evil cultivators in that city cannot be left unchecked."

As Yin Yue spoke, she looked up at Wei Xian and said, "When the new God Lord arrives, let's see what he has to say."

Naweixian nodded, "That's right. Now that he has taken over the position of God, he has to do something practical."
