"Little Fire, you've been by my side for so long, but you still haven't learned one thing: everything has a cause and effect, what's meant to happen will happen, and what's not your business, don't meddle!"

Xiao Huo pursed his lips after hearing this.

"Oh dear, Master, what you're saying is too profound for my little brain to grasp! But I think we shouldn't concern ourselves with cause and effect; since we're strong, we can do whatever we want!"

"Mind your own business?"

Ye Lingtian stopped in his tracks and turned to look at it.

"Alright, next time something like this happens, I'll let you do whatever you want, and if anything goes wrong, you'll be responsible for it!"

Upon hearing this, Little Fire lowered its tail and quickly waved its paws with a sheepish grin.

"Hey, hey, Master, please don't! I was just saying it casually! How could I dare to actually interfere? Just pretend I didn't say anything, we'll listen to you, we'll listen to you!"

Ye Lingtian's lips curled into a slight smile. He said nothing more and continued walking towards the main hall of Fengyun Pavilion.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Ye Sitian came to greet them, his expression slightly solemn.

"Father, the investigation around Tianyun Tower has yielded some results!"

"explain!"

Ye Lingtian walked straight into the main hall without stopping.

"According to the investigation, several unidentified cultivators have been frequently appearing near the Tianyun Tower recently. Among them is a cultivator named Ji Chuan, who has repeatedly attempted to approach the formation inside the tower!"

Ye Sitian quickly caught up and handed the jade slip in his hand to Ye Lingtian.

"These are all the records we found!"

Ye Lingtian took the jade slip and casually waved it, causing its contents to appear in mid-air.

He glanced around and spoke slowly and deliberately.

“Ji Chuan ascended to the Immortal Realm three hundred years ago, but his cultivation stagnated at the early stage of Immortal Lord. Later, he joined an unknown small sect and his whereabouts have always been secretive. Recently, he has been frequently appearing on Blue Star. There is probably more to this than meets the eye!”

"Father, should we take action against him?"

Ye Mo stepped forward, his face showing a hint of coldness.

"If he is truly an accomplice of the demons, then kill him on the spot!"

"No rush!"

Ye Lingtian raised his hand in greeting.

"Although Ji Chuan is suspicious, the forces behind him may not be simple. Making a rash move will only alert him!"

"So how should we handle this?"

Ye Chen frowned.

"Continue to observe?"

"Keep an eye on him, but don't alert him!"

Ye Lingtian said calmly.

"At the same time, you should send people to investigate the sect behind him and all his connections, especially the cultivators who have recently been in contact with him. Don't let any of them get away with it!"

"Yes, Father!"

Ye Chen acknowledged and withdrew, quickly assigning tasks.

At this moment, Xiao Huo couldn't help but interject.

"Master, I think Ji Chuan is just so-so. What kind of early-stage Immortal Lord is he? With that kind of cultivation, no one would even give a second glance at the entrance of our Fengyun Pavilion! Is it really necessary to be so cautious?"

"The weaker the enemy, the easier it is to overlook!"

Ye Lingtian's tone was calm, yet carried a hint of warning.

"Little Fire, you must remember, you must never be careless!"

"Tsk, alright, alright, whatever you say is right, Master!"

Little Fire pouted, jumped onto the big chair next to him, and spread his legs out.

"But let me tell you, if I keep an eye on Ji Chuan, I guarantee I'll make him slip up in three days!"

"you?"

Ye Lingtian glanced at it.

"You'll only make him run faster!"

"Oh dear, Master, that's really hurtful to me!"

Little Fire wagged its tail defiantly.

"Alright, I won't keep an eye on him. I'll just stay with you obediently so you won't accuse me of causing trouble!"

Ye Lingtian ignored it and turned to look at Ye Sitian.

"Any other news?"

"Father, there are no new discoveries yet, but we will continue to expand the scope of our investigation!"

Ye Sitian cupped his hands in greeting.

"In addition, there have been some sporadic disturbances in other parts of Earth, but none of them have provided any clear evidence pointing to evil spirits!"

"These unusual movements should not be ignored either!"

Ye Lingtian spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable air of authority.

"yes!"

Ye Sitian bowed his head and replied.

Xiao Huo raised her head, secretly glanced at Ye Lingtian, and muttered to herself.

"Master, don't you feel tired from being so busy all day long?"

"If you shut up, I'll feel much more at ease!"

Ye Lingtian said casually, then turned and walked out of the hall.

"Oh, Master, I'm just trying to ease your burden! But don't worry, next time you have any small matters, just leave them to me, and I'll definitely handle them perfectly!"

Little Fire quickly followed, its tail wagging happily.

"I hope so!"

Ye Lingtian did not stop walking.

Then, the man and the beast continued on their way.

Xiao Huo followed behind Ye Lingtian, looking left and right, seemingly a little bored.

It flicked its tail and suddenly said with great interest.

“Master, don’t you think it’s kind of boring chasing these demons every day? They’re just small fry anyway, why not just let them all self-destruct? That would save us so much trouble! We could use that time to do other things, like… find some treasures, or let me practice my fire skills more! Look how well I’ve been lately, I haven’t slacked off at all while practicing my Heavenly Fire!”

Ye Lingtian ignored it, merely glancing at it indifferently before continuing forward.

"Master, please say something! If you keep ignoring me, I might misunderstand! Do you think what I said was low-brow? Hey, don't be so mysterious, let's talk about something lighter!"

Little Fire jumped onto his shoulder and gently brushed his sleeve with its tail.

"How about this, you teach me some new skills, and I promise I'll make you proud as soon as I learn them!"
