Shen Yizhi felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. Although it was Zhao who caused Li Jiaoniang to fall into such a situation, Cui Huo could not be said to be without any responsibility.

The two chatted for a while, Shen Yizhi said "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival" to Gu Xueting, and then stopped sending videos.

This was the first time he had received such a straightforward holiday greeting.

Gu Xueting felt a little reluctant and clicked on the last video she sent him again. He listened to the short sentence several times.

After putting away the photo stone, he walked to the window and looked at the clear moon in the sky.

Thinking that she was thousands of miles away, enjoying the bright moon with him, he felt a faint joy in his heart.

Of course, if possible, he would rather be with her at this moment, and it would be best if he could hold her in his arms and bathe in the moonlight together.

Thinking of this, he became even more eager to reunite with her and Qing Bao's family of three.

But there is still one thing that needs to be resolved.

"Call Gen Yi over."

Gen Yi is the leader of Genwei and the head of the intelligence department. He is usually responsible for coordinating the intelligence information sent by his subordinates from all over the place and screening and recording them.

Not long after, Gen Yi came.

"Your Majesty."

"How's the investigation going into the incident three years ago?" Gu Xueting turned around.

Three years ago, he was poisoned and lost his mind. On the way, he met a woman. For some reason, he developed an unprecedented desire for her blood. Without thinking, he threw her to the ground and bit her neck. Later, he uncontrollably did things to her that even he despised.

When he woke up, the woman was gone, and he had no recollection of her appearance. He only remembered that her blood tasted exceptionally sweet.

He picked up a jade pendant she had dropped.

After returning, he ordered his subordinates to find the woman at all costs, but she seemed to have evaporated into thin air, without a trace.

At that time, his intelligence network was not as complete as it is now. After searching for a long time without success, he withdrew most of his people and only left a few people to continue exploring in that area.

When he thought that the woman was a mountain spirit who might never be found, she showed up on her own initiative.

Pei Yuan, the seventh daughter of the Pei family who had been raised in another village since childhood, said that she was the owner of the jade pendant when she saw the jade pendant hanging around his waist, and took the initiative to mention what happened three years ago.

The place and time are right.

She was the woman he had offended three years ago.

The person was found. Gu Xueting couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or something else. He had originally made up his mind to take responsibility for the woman, of course, on the premise that she was willing.

However, if this person was Pei Yuan, he could clearly feel the resistance in his heart.

Although she tried to hide it, the greed and intention in her eyes still could not be hidden from his eyes. She was no different from all the women who were afraid of him but tried to get close to him.

So, once again, he did something that went against his principles.

He proposed three conditions to make up for what happened three years ago.

Pei Yuan agreed.

The first condition was that she had to acknowledge him as her sworn brother.

He knew what she was planning, which was simply to use his name to do things.

He agreed, but also sent someone to supervise her. Although this was not what he wanted, he was the one who made the mistake first, so he had to bear the consequences of this mistake.

The second thing was that she wanted to take the Imperial Master as her teacher. He personally went to the Imperial Master, Yunkong Zhenren.

True Man Yunkong has only one condition - the inner elixir of the dragon.

He was at a critical period of promotion. If he could have the help of Jiaolong Inner Pill, it would be easier to advance. As for taking in one more disciple, it was not a big deal.

This was also the reason why he went to Qingmang Mountain earlier.

Unexpectedly, this trip to Qingmang Mountain gave him a huge surprise.

He met the girl who had a scar on her face but still captured his full attention, and the little guy who called him daddy as soon as they met.

To love someone means to want to monopolize all of her. This is how he feels towards Zhizhi, and this feeling is getting stronger day by day.

So his feelings towards Qingbao were very complicated. On the one hand, he couldn't help but pamper and indulge him like his own child. However, when he thought that he was the child of Zhizhi and another man, it was impossible for him to have no feelings at all.

Until the master said that Qingbao looked very much like him, as if they were carved from the same mold.

He couldn't help but hope, is it possible that Qingbao is indeed his child? Zhizhi is the woman from three years ago, the one he has been looking for, not Pei Yuan.

Once this thought came to my mind, it spread wildly like weeds and could no longer be suppressed.

Therefore, he sent people to investigate the incident three years ago again. This time, he had to get to the bottom of it! Gen Yi knew how serious the prince was about this matter, and he had been stepping up the investigation these days, but it had been a while, and most importantly, there were too few clues.

Of course, what subordinates need to do is to do the tasks assigned by their masters well, rather than emphasizing difficulties and shirking responsibilities.

"I have made some progress. Here is some of the information I have found. Please take a look."

Gen Yi handed over a piece of information.

Gu Xueting finished sweeping quickly.

Intelligence shows that Pei Yuan has always been accompanied by a monk who is willing to be driven by her and help her do many shameful things. Moreover, the relationship between this monk and Pei Yuan is a little unclear.

The cultivator's cultivation level was not high, only at the second stage of Qi Refining, but behind him was a behemoth - the Immortal Doctor Sect.

As the name suggests, the Immortal Doctor Sect is a sect dedicated to saving the dying and healing the wounded. All the sect members have one thing in common: they all major in medicine. Of course, it also accepts ordinary people with superb medical skills.

Whenever there was a plague or disaster in a place, you could see the presence of the Immortal Doctor Sect. Over time, the world's people began to respect the Immortal Doctor Sect more and more.

In the Tianyuan Kingdom, the Immortal Doctor Sect enjoys an extraordinary status.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Gen Yi did not allow anyone to continue the investigation.

Gu Xueting did not collect so much intelligence every year in vain, and what he knew was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Take the Immortal Doctor Sect as an example. In the eyes of the world, it is a sect that saves people from suffering. However, in his opinion, behind the Immortal Doctor Sect's efforts to save people from suffering, there may be a horrifying truth hidden.

This truth was inferred by him based on a variety of information, and he hoped it was not true.

Gu Xueting crumpled the piece of paper containing the information in his hand, and powder fell off.

"Keep staring at him." The "he" here refers to the cultivator next to Pei Yuan.

Gen nodded in agreement.
