"You two... have come uninvited? Are you ready?" Rui Yao was not surprised. People from the Seventh Bureau and Yin Sitian had already contacted him. However, she was unusually interested in Lin Feng: "Brother, you care a lot about the boss. I wonder when you will be able to take such good care of him."

Rui Yao leaned against the pillar, manipulating the somewhat eerie body, and raised her arm to touch Lin Feng.

"Rui Yao, are you feeling alright being trapped here?" Lin Feng took a step forward, getting even closer to Rui Yao in surprise, which startled her and made her involuntarily dodge away.

"Brother, this place is no fun at all. The boss won't let me leave, so I guess I'll just have to play with them." Rui Yao withdrew his arm. Today was different from usual; Lin Feng was not someone he could easily mess with.

"Then why are you staying here? Even if you leave, he can't threaten you, right?" Lin Feng was quite curious. Last time, Rui Yao had betrayed the Evil Yuan Path to some extent.

"Brother, the boss succeeded, so I'll benefit from it too. Isn't that why you came here?" Rui Yao chuckled a few times.

“I’m afraid… no.” Lin Feng shook his head: “I didn’t come here for this. The Seventh Bureau will definitely tell me how successful he is.”

Rui Yao paused for a moment to think seriously, then nodded. However, he didn't seem to want to elaborate on the matter and instead asked, "Then why did you come, young man?"

"Da Ye is dead." Lin Feng was quiet for a moment. "I have also agreed to Chong Tong's conditions."

"Ha, as expected of you, Little Brother." Rui Yao's eyes suddenly lit up. "If Boss knew about this, he'd be ecstatic!"

“It seems that the Seventh Bureau will divert the Foundation’s attention to other places for now.” Lin Feng sighed a few times as he spoke. “But they will eventually keep an eye on you. I don’t know how long you can keep this bait or decoy.”

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Brother. Boss did send me here as a cover. It's a pity that if he knew you were coming, I wouldn't need to be here." Rui Yao said, her body instinctively wanting to get closer to Lin Feng, but she ultimately restrained herself.

I want to know where he is now?

"Him? I'm so sorry, I don't know where he is, but the boss really wants to do something here." Rui Yao's words carried a hint of deliberate intent: "Hey bro, how about you do me a favor and help me catch ten thousand of the people the boss corrupted?"

Looking at the other person's expression, Lin Feng opened his mouth and said, "No!"

No?

Rui Yao pouted regretfully and took a step back.

“Yuan Tiangang will help you catch the person.” Lin Feng took a few steps back, leaving a mental imprint on the other party: “Rui Yao, you can call us if you need anything.”

"Thank you, sir."

Rui Yao put away the mark and stared intently as Lin Feng and the other person left, the ease on her face fading slightly.

...

"It seems like she's hiding something from us," Yuan Qixuan couldn't help but say in mid-air.

“She doesn’t trust us…or rather, she doesn’t trust anyone.” Lin Feng scanned the entire capital of Gui Tang: “The Seventh Bureau, Yin Sitian, and what I’ve done—she can doubt us, but she even ignores the Seventh Bureau and the Daoist sect…and Yin Sitian. Either there’s a conflict between them, or evil has befallen her and she doesn’t want to trust anyone.”

"Seventh Bureau..." Yuan Qixuan recalled many things, but found no information: "But she wouldn't completely refuse your request, would she?"

From his perspective, Lin Feng's intervention already showed that he was 100% willing to help evil beget evil, and there shouldn't be any such issues.

"The situation with Bureau Seven and Yin Sitian won't change for the time being. Da Ye has been dealt with. Sun He and the others will notify us if there are any problems. The changes at the Foundation are currently unknown, but there's no rush. We can now focus our attention on Rui Yao and the nowhere to be found, Xie Shengxie." Lin Feng pondered carefully. "Where Xie Shengxie is is still a question, but it's not something we can easily interfere with. If Rui Yao is in contact with Xie Shengxie, she might notify us if we appear..."

"If we focus our attention on Rui Yao, she won't make any big moves for the time being, so there's not much point in keeping an eye on her. Once anything changes... the Seventh Bureau will react even faster than us."

"Keep an eye on the Seventh Bureau?" Yuan Qixuan asked, almost jokingly.

“Keep an eye on them…” Lin Feng took a deep breath: “I’m thinking about how we should proceed now. Appearing too early or too simply might attract unnecessary attention and could also disrupt the situation we don’t know about.”

"Or perhaps we could directly stir up the situation, making the truth and falsehood of evil even more unclear?" After considering things from Lin Feng's perspective, Yuan Qixuan had an idea flash through his mind.

“Not enough!” Lin Feng was certain of Yuan Qixuan’s idea, but this matter required other factors: “The workshop area… should have sent people in as well.”

Workshop area?

Thinking of this overlooked behemoth, Yuan Qixuan couldn't help but frown.

"The workshop district must have some influence in this world, right?" Lin Feng finished pondering and looked at Yuan Qixuan with a half-answer question.

Without hesitation, Yuan Qixuan replied, "Among the local powers in this world... the Heavenly Court, or others?"

The workshop area's connections with the world are all through local forces, making it difficult even for a behemoth like the Seventh Bureau to detect any trace of their activities.

“If the workshop district operates on a large scale, no one will doubt that they have discovered something,” Lin Feng said confidently. “If I can provide something, everything will change once the workshop district takes action.”

This is difficult... Yuan Qixuan couldn't help but look down at the ground. Thousands of cavalrymen were leaving the capital and rushing along the main road toward the anthropomorphic pollution that was spreading in the distance.

"Notify Sizang to contact the workshop area."

Lin Feng had an idea in mind, and turned to fly towards the Seventh Bureau's base in this world.

Soon, they arrived near the base. After looking around for a while, Lin Feng took out the mental imprint that had been given to him beforehand and contacted the participants inside the base.

After a short wait, a man in black flew out. Without asking about Lin Feng's information or showing any curiosity, he took a mental imprint from Lin Feng and quickly tore open the scroll to exit the mission world.

"Walk."

Lin Feng immediately left, taking Yuan Qixuan with him as they flew to the coordinates they had recorded in their mental imprints.

Negotiations with the workshop district will naturally not be easy, but he has Wang Lingguan, the owner of the Traditional Taoist Arts Integration and Exchange Cooperation Bookstore, behind him. With him, along with Si Zang and others, they can definitely have a word with the people behind the workshop district.

The next step is to figure out how to get them to cooperate; empty promises are unlikely to get the workshop area moving.

Bounced checks...

Lin Feng stood on a pile of rubble, repeatedly reviewing the message he had sent to Si Zang in his mind.

Just then, footsteps came from the bushes in the distance. As a somewhat familiar figure approached, Lin Feng and Yuan Qixuan couldn't help but widen their eyes: "Tang Sanzang?"

"Amitabha, this humble monk is Xuanzang, not Tang Sanzang." Xuanzang clasped his hands together, his expression a mixture of mystery and humanity, and approached them step by step.

He was... corrupted by anthropomorphism?

Lin Feng and Yuan Qixuan exchanged a glance.

"This humble monk was entrusted by the workshop district to be the one responsible for cooperating with you two this time." Xuanzang spoke with a hint of calm on one side of his face, but there was a subtle layering between the calm on the other side and the calm on the other side. The trembling of his skin and flesh was a few centimeters off, which looked very strange.
