"I, Feng, have met Senior Brother Liang."
"Hello, Senior Brother Liang."
Ye Feng and Li Qinghe both bowed, and Liang Jie said with a smile, "No need for formalities. You two have done my wife a great favor; you are our benefactors. I should be thanking you... However, our Tianhua Sect has a rule that since you two are newcomers, we cannot be at ease with you, so..."
Night Wind asked, "We are absolutely clean. If you don't believe me, you can check."
Liang Jie laughed and said, "Someone will check on you. I'll arrange accommodations for you first... Junior Brother Wang, could you please escort Qingxue to the hospital for me, just in case anything else happens?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Liang."
Wang Tianlan immediately took Chen Qingxue away, while Ye Feng and Liu Qinghe followed behind Liang Jie.
As Liang Jie led the way, he chatted with Ye Feng and Liu Qinghe, subtly asking them many questions.
It was clear that Liang Jie was indeed very cautious, and fortunately Ye Feng had already made preparations, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to handle his barrage of questions.
Before long, Ye Feng and Li Qinghe followed Liang Jie to a small wooden building.
"Mr. Feng, Ms. Wang, please make yourselves at home tonight. After you pass the review, I will take you to register tomorrow. Once registered, you will be disciples of my Tianhua Sect," Liang Jie said with a smile.
"I wonder what kind of review it is?" Ye Feng asked, feigning curiosity.
"Mr. Feng, you don't need to worry. As long as you have a clean background and no problems, you will definitely pass the review. Moreover, our Tianhua Sect is currently in need of manpower, so as long as you are a martial artist with a certain level of strength, we welcome you with open arms," Liang Jie said with a hearty laugh.
Liang Jie's words sounded very polite and reassuring.
However, he still did not directly answer Ye Feng's question, nor did he explain what the specific review was.
After saying that, Liang Jie left immediately.
Ye Feng then entered the wooden building with Li Qinghe. After sitting down, he said, "I reckon someone will come tonight to check our identities and see if we are sent by the Kowloon Society. And this kind of check is most likely related to soul searching."
"Then what do we do?" Li Qinghe asked with some worry.
"I am an expert in soul-searching techniques. To use soul-searching in front of me is undoubtedly like showing off your skills before an expert!"
Night Wind said dismissively, then dismissed the forging furnace, sat down on the ground, and began forging weapons.
Li Qinghe didn't know what Ye Feng was planning, but she knew that weapon refiners needed to concentrate and not be distracted when refining spiritual weapons, so she suppressed her curiosity and didn't disturb him.
One by one, refining materials were taken out of the storage ring by Ye Feng.
The furnace lid opened with a bang, and all the refining materials fell into the furnace.
Once the furnace lid slammed shut, true qi flames were generated inside and burned fiercely.
The scorching flames melted the refining materials, and a clump of liquid formed from various materials floated and churned on the flames, while the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather.
The temperature in the room continued to rise, and Li Qinghe's forehead was covered in sweat.
Before they knew it, an hour had passed, and Ye Feng finally finished refining the weapon.
The furnace lid opened, and a crystal-clear jade pendant flew out and landed in Ye Feng's hand.
"This is?"
Li Qinghe looked curiously at the jade pendant in Ye Feng's hand and asked.
Night Wind smiled and said, "This is a spiritual artifact that I specially crafted for martial arts techniques like soul searching. Now, you should bind it to your body with your blood and wear it close to your skin. Whenever someone searches your soul or tries to access your memories, this jade pendant will activate, thus confusing and deceiving that person."
"Does it really have such a magical effect?" Li Qinghe asked, both surprised and delighted, as she took the jade pendant.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Night Wind laughed.
At the same time, in a cultivation cave deep within Tianhua Cave Heaven.
Liang Jie strode to the depths of the cultivation cave and saw the beautiful woman in white sitting on the high platform—it was Chen Lingyue, the head of the Tianhua Sect.
Chen Lingyue is Liang Jie's mentor.
But Chen Lingyue wasn't the only one here; Elder Zhao Ruxue was also here.
Liang Jie then bowed to Chen Lingyue and Zhao Ruxue respectively, and greeted them, saying, "Greetings, Master, Zhao Changlao."
"I heard Chen Qingxue is back?" Chen Lingyue asked.
“Yes, Master,” Liang Jie said with a smile.
Before Chen Lingyue could ask any more questions, Liang Jie continued, "Master, Qingxue had a little accident on her way back, which caused her to have a difficult childbirth on the high-speed train. Fortunately, a young man named Feng Ye came to her aid, which enabled Qingxue to give birth to a daughter smoothly."
"Who is this Feng Ye?" Chen Lingyue asked.
"I don't know yet. Qingxue only told me that Feng Ye is very strong and is a True Yuan Realm martial artist. Feng Ye also has a younger sister named Wang Jiayi, who is a Separation and Union Realm martial artist."
“Feng Ye and Wang Jiayi are both independent cultivators, so they want to join our Tianhua Sect. I have already arranged for them to stay in a wooden building not far from the entrance to the cave.”
"To prevent any accidents from happening, I also arranged for two junior brothers to secretly monitor them. Feng Ye and Wang Jiayi also followed the rules. After entering the wooden building, they did not go out or wander around our cave."
Liang Jie stopped there.
Chen Lingyue nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, your arrangement is fine."
Zhao Ruxue said with a smile, "I didn't expect our Tianhua Sect to have such a great reputation that it would attract a True Yuan Realm cultivator and a Separation and Union Realm cultivator to come and join us."
"This is a good thing, but we must be careful not to recruit spies from the Kowloon Society."
After a moment's thought, Chen Lingyue turned to Zhao Ruxue and instructed, "Zhao Changlao, I'll trouble you to personally go and examine the souls of those two people tonight to see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, Liang Jie, you will take them to register and assign them tasks tomorrow."
"What if there's a problem?" Zhao Ruxue asked.
"Is there any need to say more? If there's any problem, kill them on the spot!" Chen Lingyue said without hesitation.
"Yes, Sect Leader," Zhao Ruxue nodded.
It was already late at night.
The night breeze had already subsided, but Li Qinghe was a little nervous and couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.
But just then, a wave of drowsiness suddenly washed over her, and Li Qinghe drifted off to sleep.
The ethereal singing reached Li Qinghe's ears, and she felt her mind become muddled, with scenes of her past flashing before her eyes.
This is someone using a martial art like soul-searching to examine their memories!
Li Qinghe immediately realized what was happening, and her heart jumped into her throat.
But then, Li Qinghe was completely relieved.
Because all the past experiences that surfaced in her mind were fake!
Li Qinghe immediately realized that the magical jade pendant crafted by Ye Feng had taken effect, using false memories to deceive the martial arts master who was spying on her.
