Chapter 187 List (2)
At this time, Li Xiu also rushed back.
Tao Zi looked over and asked, "Did you get the list?"
"I got it. It's surprisingly complete."
He placed the list on the table and added, "I am referring to the Minglan Sect."
Tao Zi took the list, opened it, and the first thing he saw was Minglan Sect.
From the most basic name and gender to their respective realms and identities in the sect, everything is clear.
She flipped through it, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It even has the weaknesses of some young disciples."
Li Xiu shrugged and said, "There must be an internal thief in the Minglan Sect this time."
"Normal," said the Flower Monk. "I heard from my senior brother that the Minglan Sect has recruited a large number of disciples from aristocratic families in the past three years. This has certainly strengthened the Minglan Sect's connections and strength, but it has also left many hidden dangers."
Xi Jing looked at them blankly and asked, "What does 'disciple of an aristocratic family' mean?"
He explained simply, "Powerful and long-standing families among mortals are called aristocratic families."
Zhao Xue felt something was wrong and said, "Mortals have power? They did when the Xuanyue royal family was still around, but now..."
The flower monk rubbed his bald head, unsure how to explain. Li Xiu spoke for him, "The mayor of Liushuang City is from a central family—the Zhou family. He's also a cultivator, or more accurately, a casual cultivator."
Xi Jing suddenly understood: "There are also immortal cultivators in mortal families, is that what you mean?"
"Well, generally, after becoming a disciple, the relationship between a cultivator and his family will become less close. But this is not the case with these disciples from aristocratic families. They still maintain contact with their families and share the same interests."
Tao Zi said calmly: "The news of the mortal family is also very well-informed, which can be helpful to the sect in a certain sense."
The Flower Monk nodded and said, "That's true, but for those long-standing sects, aristocratic families are of little use. However, most of the mayors of large cities come from aristocratic families, so they have to be taken seriously."
Han Yueshan looked at Hua Seng with mixed feelings and said, "Brother Hua, I never thought you knew all this."
He touched his head and said with a simple smile: "These are what my master and senior brothers told me."
Tao Zi said: "The news of Minglan Sect leaked this time probably because it attracted greedy people."
Li Xiu nodded and said, "That's right, but the fact that a greedy person was able to obtain the list of all the names and even spread it out must have something to do with the leader."
"Look at other sects."
Tao Zi looked through the list of other sects and frowned in disappointment.
The list only had names on it, and it wasn't complete. Some of them didn't even have the leaders identified, with only a few names vaguely written down.
But she thought about it and felt that this was normal.
On the contrary...
She raised her head and looked at Li Xiu, saying, "Neither the Young Masters of the Tiandao Sect nor the Sword Sect are here? Or are they not on the list?"
Li Xiu affirmed, "None of them have come yet. Judging from this experience, there's no need for the sect to hide these chosen ones as its trump cards. Besides, they are so famous that it would be difficult to hide them if they came."
Well, only one of the three sects' young masters came, and such an incident happened. I'm afraid that Minglan Sect has become a laughing stock among many people in private.
At this time, Xu Qianjia was also losing his temper. He looked at his thirteenth junior brother beside him with a sullen face and asked, "How did this list get out?"
Thirteenth Junior Brother lowered his head and said respectfully, "I'm not sure yet. I'm checking."
The elder sitting nearby said slowly, "Qianjia, the list has been spread out. There's no point getting angry. Let's think about how to solve the problem. If you need help, we can help."
He suppressed his anger, forced a smile, and said, "Don't bother the two elders, I will take care of it."
The two elders stood up and said, "Then we will go to rest. Take care of yourself and don't get too angry."
The words sounded like they were expressing concern for him, but he clearly heard the sarcasm.
Xu Qianjia tried hard to suppress his emotions and sent the two elders away.
My senior sister had said back then that the masters and elders of other peaks had no sense of belonging to the Minglan Sect, and that the people of the main peak must never show weakness in front of them, so that they could be suppressed and used by the Minglan Sect.
But the forces under his command are too weak, how can he suppress them?
"Thirteen, I'll leave this matter to you."
He looked at this junior fellow and softened his tone. The master of the peak where this junior fellow was located was inclined towards the main peak, so Thirteen could be considered a useful person.
Thirteenth Junior Brother whispered, "Young Sect Master, don't worry. I'll go investigate right away and will definitely catch that traitorous disciple."
He nodded and closed his eyes tiredly. Seeing this, Thirteen retreated.
After Thirteen left, he called out softly, "Old Xu."
An old figure slowly appeared in the air: "Young Sect Master."
He looked at him and said, "Old Xu, the Soul-Returning Plant is an excellent herb for healing spiritual veins. If Senior Sister were still alive, her followers would definitely come to snatch the herbs. I hope Old Xu will keep a close eye on them."
Elder Xu nodded slowly and said, "Young Sect Master, don't worry. I will take good care of it."
Xu Qianjia breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Pay special attention to those who cultivate physical strength and betray the Minglan Sect."
Mr. Xu nodded again.
He smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, I still have Mr. Xu by my side."
"Young Sect Master, you're too polite. I promised your Senior Sister that I would protect you, and I will definitely do it."
Xu Qianjia said with emotion: "Mr. Xu is very sentimental, Qianjia admires him."
When Elder Xu heard this, he suddenly looked at him and said, "Young Sect Master, may I ask a question?"
"You can say whatever you want."
"Three years ago, I was away from the Minglan Sect due to some matters, so I didn't witness everything firsthand. I just want to ask, did she really defect to the alien race?"
Xu Qianjia was silent for a moment, then gave a forced smile: "I don't want to believe it either, but that's exactly what Master said at the time."
Old Xu sighed, "What the Heavenly Venerable said is generally correct. But why does the Punishment Hall look like that?"
He lowered his eyes and whispered, "Old Xu, you know that Xing Tang has always blindly trusted and followed Senior Sister."
Elder Xu looked at him steadily. He acted as if nothing had happened and continued, "The Xingtang's outburst of rage was so brief that I have to suspect there's a reason behind it. Only Senior Sister could calm them down so quickly."
Old Xu retracted his gaze and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to it."
He smiled and said, "Old Xu, you are not from the Minglan Sect. Therefore, Qianjia will only trouble you with matters concerning Senior Sister, like this time."
"I understand what you mean." Elder Xu paused, then continued, "Even if she is your senior sister, being related to an alien race is a grave sin. If she is still alive, you should think twice."
Xu Qianjia nodded and said, "Old Xu, I understand, but her cultivation has been wasted, and she can only hide her identity for the rest of her life. Why is she so aggressive?"
Old Xu sighed and said nothing more.
