"The head of the Ninth Department? Is he from the Xuanmen Association?" Jiang Chunian asked.

"Yes, but Taoist Qinghui is only the honorary chairman of the Xuanmen Association. He usually doesn't care about the affairs of the Xuanmen Association. He is in charge of the Ninth Department."

Lin Sixian said, "The Ninth Department is affiliated with the state and was established at the very beginning of the nation's founding. However, due to state deployment, it was kept secret and not publicly announced. It is specifically used to handle Xuanmen affairs. The Xuanmen Association is a non-governmental organization. Taoist Qinghui. Taoist Qinghui is over seventy years old this year. He is a direct disciple of Taoist Xuanming, the previous head of the Zhengyi Sect and the first head of the Ninth Department. After Taoist Xuanming passed away in the 1990s, Taoist Qinghui took over the position of head of the Zhengyi Sect and concurrently served as head of the Ninth Department. He has served the Ninth Department since he joined, which is over sixty years now. His loyalty to the Ninth Department and the country is unquestionable."

Jiang Chunian suddenly realized: "So he is Xuanming's apprentice."

Lin Sixian couldn't help but look at her.

She calls Taoist Xuanming "boy". Could it be that she knows Xuanming?

So was she born in the Republic of China in her previous life?

Lin Sixian couldn't help but ask, "Do you know Taoist Xuanming?"

Jiang Chunian turned around and glanced at him: "Do you believe me when I say I know you?"

"Believe it." Lin Sixian nodded without hesitation.

Jiang Chu Nian raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

Lin Sixian paused before saying, "I've heard that some people are born with knowledge, and that this is the awakening of innate wisdom."

"So, you suspect that I have gained wisdom?" Jiang Chunian suddenly realized. No wonder this kid never doubted himself from beginning to end. It turned out that he thought he had gained wisdom.

Lin Sixian was very frank at this moment: "I had someone investigate you before. Before you participated in the variety show "Brothers and Sisters", you had no contact with metaphysics at all, but you suddenly learned it, so I think you must have gained wisdom."

Jiang Chunian neither denied nor acknowledged Lin Sixian's statement. This was indeed a very good excuse for her.

She was just curious: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid?" Lin Sixian was puzzled.

"Because you may be sitting in front of a young girl in her twenties, but inside she could be a seventy or eighty-year-old old monster." Jiang Chunian deliberately frightened him: "Old monsters all eat people."

Lin Sixian shook his head: "No, you are not a seventy or eighty-year-old old monster."

Jiang Chu Nian raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"Your eyes tell me that you are very young." Lin Sixian said seriously, "My sixth sense tells me the same."

Jiang Chunian smiled: "It seems that this kind of thing cannot be hidden from those who are interested."

Lin Sixian apologized to her: "Sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy."

Jiang Chunian shook his head: "It's okay. Since I showed my true ability in the beginning, I naturally didn't expect to hide it from everyone."

After talking about this matter, Jiang Chunian felt more and more relaxed when getting along with Lin Sixian.

Since Taoist Qinghui was the direct disciple of Taoist Xuanming, Jiang Chunian naturally did not refuse to meet him.

In order to avoid arousing Zhou Jianhong's suspicion, the meeting place was not held at the Lin family, but Lin Sixian took Jiang Chunian to the headquarters of the Ninth Department.

The ninth part also built a building in the Second Ring Road of Beijing, where every inch of land is valuable. However, it was not very tall, only about ten stories high. There was a guard at the door, and no outsiders were allowed to enter or exit without an invitation or permission.

Because Lin Sixian had already greeted Taoist Qinghui before bringing Jiang Chunian here, they were able to enter smoothly.

When I entered the Ninth Department building, I saw a middle-aged Taoist priest in a Taoist robe standing there to greet me: "Is it Brother Jiang Daoist and General Manager Lin?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest put Jiang Chunian before Lin Sixian, which shows that in the other party, in the ninth part, Jiang Chunian is much more important than Lin Sixian.

Fortunately, Lin Sixian didn't mind and nodded: "That's right."

He also introduced Jiang Chunian to the other party.

The middle-aged Taoist nodded towards Jiang Chunian and said, "Hello, I am Wubai, the disciple and secretary general of Taoist Qinghui. My master sent me down to pick you up."

Jiang Chunian nodded: "Thank you, Taoist priest."

"Please follow me." Taoist Wubai took Jiang Chunian and Lin Sixian to the special elevator, went all the way to the top floor, and came to Taoist Qinghui's office.

"Minister, Fellow Daoist Jiang and General Manager Lin are here." Taoist Master Wubai knocked on the door and went in to report.

Taoist Qinghui hurriedly said, "Please come in."

When Jiang Chunian and Lin Sixian entered the office, they saw an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face. He looked like an immortal, but his expression was a little serious, which made him look more majestic, making people dare not confront him.

Taoist Qinghui's deep eyes fell on Jiang Chunian, as if he wanted to see through her. Jiang Chunian also raised her eyes to look over, without any sign of nervousness or fear.

Taoist Qinghui turned to Lin Sixian and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang and I have something to discuss. Please wait outside for a moment, Little Brother Lin."

Upon hearing this, Lin Sixian looked at Jiang Chunian worriedly. Jiang Chunian nodded slightly, and Lin Sixian and Taoist Wubai retreated together.

Only Taoist Qinghui and Jiang Chunian were left in the office. Taoist Qinghui looked at Jiang Chunian and said, "When my master was still alive, he once mentioned to me that eighty years ago, a genius emerged from nowhere in the Xuan Sect. He was profound in Taoism, unparalleled in wisdom and strategy, and had a heart of justice that was worthy of admiration. My family was fortunate to meet him and consider him a close friend. I had hoped to learn from him once the country was safe and sound, and to promote the Xuan Sect. But he suddenly disappeared. My master has been searching for him for years, and I believe he must have met with an unexpected disaster. Thinking back on this for so many years, I still feel heartbroken."

"This genius is the 36th generation leader of the Tianyi Sect, Jiang Chunian."

Taoist Master Qinghui looked at Jiang Chunian and said word by word, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jiang is related to this Senior Jiang?"

Jiang Chunian was silent after hearing this, and sighed for a long time: "Xuanming is a thoughtful kid."

Taoist Qinghui was overjoyed when he heard this: "You are Senior Jiang?"

Jiang Chunian nodded, but she said, "Everything that happened yesterday is like yesterday's death. There is no need to mention the past. Don't call me senior. Just call me by my name or Xiao Jiang."

"How can a junior be so rude?" Taoist Qinghui disagreed: "If Master knew, he would definitely not forgive me."

"Your master has been dead for so many years. Can he really open the coffin and jump out to beat you?" Jiang Chunian didn't care.

"I'd rather Master jumped out and beat me." Taoist Qinghui asked Jiang Chunian to sit down and asked, "When our master disappeared, he was extremely anxious. However, the national crisis at that time made it difficult for him to find you. It was not until the establishment of the new country that he had some free time and took the time to search for you. Unfortunately, he searched the entire new country but couldn't find you. He always felt regret and remorse. I wonder what happened to the master back then?"
