Shu Jianyue shrugged and said, "He's not someone I know, nor is he any special person. Why would I remember when I saw him?"
"However, he seemed to be injured at the time, and was a little weak..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ai Huannian looked at Gui Haifuchen and said, "Set off immediately for the Fanhu Mountains. We must find him."
"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away." Gui Haifuchen agreed and got up to leave the private room.
Ai Huannian looked at Shu Jianyue and smiled, "Gentlemen, I need to leave now..."
"Please go ahead, don't worry, we'll meet again." Shu Jianyue gestured for them to proceed.
Ai Huannian glanced at Chong Jiu again, then turned and left the private room.
Chong Jiu glanced at Ai Huannian's retreating figure, then turned to Shu Jianyue beside him and asked with a smile, "When do you plan to catch this cicada?"
"Why catch cicadas? I'm not interested in cicadas. I'm more interested in that mantis." Shu Jianyue said, leaning against him and looking towards the battle platform.
After a moment's thought, Chong Jiu realized who the mantis and cicada she was referring to were.
It also serves as a convenient way to shift the blame.
They didn't stay in the teahouse for long. After watching two matches, they left their private room and prepared to go to the Fanhu Mountains to wait for the birds to pounce.
But just as they were about to leave the teahouse, the waiter stopped them.
"Distinguished guests, you haven't paid for the tea in your private room yet."
Shu Jianyue's slightly upturned lips instantly fell shut. "They left without even getting married?"
The waiter smiled and shook his head.
Shu Jianyue felt that she had to catch both the cicada and the mantis in one fell swoop to vent her anger.
"How many spirit stones?"
The waiter held up two fingers and smiled, "Twenty mid-grade spirit stones in total."
Shu Jianyue's eyelids twitched. Just two pots of tea cost twenty spirit stones. That's really not cheap.
He took out twenty spirit stones and threw them over, then grabbed Chong Jiu and they instantly headed towards the Fanhu Mountain Range.
Fu Zhen led Chao Tian and the others through a series of twists and turns. When they were almost at the villa, Chao Tian looked up at the sky and said, "You take them back first. I'll go check on them. They've been following us all this way."
Sky pouted and said, "I'll go."
"Go back, I'll go see what her purpose is." After saying that, Chao Tian walked towards where Fu Zhen was hiding.
"Come out, you've been following us all this way."
Fu Zhen walked out from around the corner, bowed to Chaotian, and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency. I am Fu Zhen, the third young lady of the Fu family."
"Hmm, and then, why are you following us?" Chao Tian's eyes were very calm, but this look immediately made Fu Zhen nervous.
Although I was nervous, I didn't lose my mind. "No, it's nothing. I just wanted to get to know that beautiful girl."
Chao Tian had no doubts, after all, the number of people who wanted to befriend Young Master Xi Xi could stretch from the Central Region to the Supreme God Temple.
He never imagined that the other party had taken a liking to his young master, Yu Chuan.
Chao Tian nodded and said, "I will pass on this message. Miss Fu, you should not follow me any further."
"She is a disciple participating in the competition. If she is interested in befriending you, there will be plenty of time later."
Fu Zhen nodded quickly. If she couldn't get close to him, she could at least get close to the people around him.
"Then I'll take my leave."
After Fu Zhen left, Chao Tian turned and left.
Upon returning to the villa, he told Yan Xi about Fu Zhen's situation.
Yan Xi paused for a moment before nodding to indicate that she understood.
When Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu arrived at the Fanhu Mountains, Guihai Fuchen's people had already launched a thorough search.
Shu Jianyue used her mental power to locate Ai Huannian's position, then pulled Zhong Jiu over to find him. "Husband, later you can secretly set up an array next to him. I will use my mental power to interrogate him, no, to force him to reveal the method that allows him to see through Chaotian's true form."
Zhong Jiu is now just her tool; she does whatever she's told to do, and then Zhong Jiu embellishes it for her.
With his cultivation level, if he didn't want Ai Huannian to find out, then he absolutely wouldn't be able to.
Chongjiu set up a mesmerizing array around him, making him believe he had entered an underground palace.
Shu Jianyue then used her mental power to pressure his nerves, causing him to relive the scene from when he first encountered Chaotian.
Then create the impression that Guihai Fuchen is asking him how he saw through Chaotian's true form.
Ai Huannian wasn't stupid; no matter how Gui Hai Fuchen in the illusion asked, he didn't answer.
When this plan failed, Shu Jianyue came up with another one: she asked Chaotian to come and ask.
They even cleared the area for him.
Ai Huannian was wary of others, but now that there was no one else around and Chaotian was already his, he stopped hiding it.
He stated bluntly, "Do you know why our Tiande Sect consistently ranks first in the Holy Spirit Realm?"
"It is because our Tiande Sect has this secret method that anyone who learns this secret method can see through the true form of a spirit beast or divine beast after it has taken human form, as long as their cultivation level exceeds the Mahayana stage."
"However, this secret technique can only be practiced by the lineage of the Tiande Sect Master, which is our Ai family lineage."
"Because our Ai family brought back countless high-level spirit beasts, it was the Tiande Sect that achieved its status, and our Ai family has naturally always held the position of sect leader."
"So, only those with the surname Ai can practice this secret technique? Did all those with the surname Ai in the Tiande Sect practice it?" Chaotian, conjured by Shu Jianyue's spiritual power within the illusion array, asked.
Ai Huannian chuckled and shook his head, saying, "How could that be? Of course, only the direct descendants of our Ai family can do it."
“Those collateral branches are nothing but lackeys hired by our Ai family. What qualifications do they have to learn such profound secret techniques?”
Outside the illusion array, Shu Jianyue scratched her chin and looked at Chong Jiu, asking, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Ask him if the Tiande Sect has anyone in Shenzhou." That would open up another route.
Shu Jianyue nodded.
Naturally, it was impossible for 'Chaotian' to ask directly like that; instead, the question was asked in the most tactful way possible, going around in circles.
But in the end, he didn't know.
Although he knew of such a person, he did not know who it was, and he had always been contacted by the head of the Tiande Sect.
Chong Jiu knew what was happening inside the illusion array he had created.
"There's no more useful information."
"It doesn't matter that he knows Chaotian is a divine beast, since we didn't intend to hide it forever, but we're afraid he'll discover Yu'er and Xixi's true forms." That's the most dangerous thing.
But killing him would attract other members of the Tiande Sect; if he didn't kill him, he would eventually bring others down because he couldn't capture Chaotian.
Chongjiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's kill that one. Since the result is the same whether we kill it or not, let's use the cleaner one."
Shu Jianyue thought for a moment and said, "Let them fight like dogs and get their asses all over the place. We'll just watch from the sidelines and make sure they don't get away with it."
Heavy moxibustion is of course unnecessary.
