"Rumor has it that the second brother's brother is the Lord of the Holy Domain of Tingyun Gorge, and he works for that Lord of the Holy Domain."
"Your Highness, I've never met that 'Second Brother' either. I was only responsible for the handover with Fourth Master. I never harmed those children!"
"Your Highness, I'm telling the truth! Please, please spare me!"
Tingyunjian... sounds familiar. Is it the Crouching Tiger Mountain that Yu Lan mentioned?
Crouching Tiger Mountain and Tingyun Stream, that's Wang...
No wonder he was the only one in that Holy Domain, yet he was able to stand on equal footing with the other Holy Domains; it turns out there was some kind of deal behind the scenes.
Using young children to refine pills—such beastly creatures, cultivating immortality? They don't even deserve to live in this world!
Ye Qinghan stared at the woman in front of him, but he couldn't sense much from her.
"Deacon Xu, you can handle this as you see fit."
"Yes, Grandma, don't worry."
Ye Qinghan then turned and left. She had a lot of work to do, and to be honest, she never thought that there would be so many things for her to handle in the Northern Region!
Isn't this bullying the honest fox?
When those beasts were in power before, they weren't this busy every day!
Thinking about this, Ye Qinghan felt even more that he needed to cultivate some trusted confidants!
She has to do everything herself, how can that be right?
She hasn't even become the acting Demon Emperor yet, and the workload is already piling up!
If that's the case, where would she find the time to seek help from her master?
If I can't be close to my master, what's the point of living?
If you can't be close to your master, what's the point of cultivating immortality?
This can't go on!
Ye Qinghan returned to the mansion, which was a temporary residence arranged for her by the generals of the Zhenbei Army. The command post was downstairs.
To put it bluntly, the occupying forces occupied the city and requisitioned the former residences of powerful local families.
Within just a few days, Ye Qinghan had already taken over one-third of the northern territory.
Recently, good news has been coming in one after another. The remnants of the old era are now just barely clinging to life. Ye Qinghan will usher in a new era for the Northern Region.
However, Ye Qinghan didn't care much about any of that. The only thing he did was carefully consider the wording of his reply to his master.
Ye Qinghan briefly explained to her master what she was currently doing. Her master's reply was lukewarm, simply saying that he understood and that she should just go ahead and do it.
“Madam, based on that woman’s description, I have already sent more men to search for ‘Fourth Master and Second Brother’.”
Ye Qinghan put down the military report in her hand. There was nothing to see in it; everything was proceeding smoothly according to plan. If anything unexpected had happened, she would have known long ago.
"Yes, you did a good job, but don't make too much of a fuss. If that guy gets away, how will Qinghan face the children's parents and masters?"
"Give the order to capture them alive. If possible, use a long line to catch big fish, and try to wipe out that bunch of scum in one fell swoop!"
Three days later, at the Heavenly Dao Pavilion.
Gently closing the door to Cheng Liang's bedroom, Shangguan Rou sighed and returned to her room to rest.
"Sister Rou'er..."
Su Muchan had been there for a while, watching Shangguan Rou take meticulous care of Cheng Liang, cleaning his wounds, changing his dressings, and washing his body.
"Mu Chan? Why are you back?"
"Hmm... I can't stay still, I just like to wander around."
Shangguan Rou sighed, shook her head, and pulled Su Muchan back to her courtyard.
"Was he kicked out by Ye Qinghan?"
"Ye Qinghan went to the Northern Region. Li Shiyao is still treating me well, but what about Sister Rou'er?"
As Su Muchan spoke, she looked around the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, which was quite different from what she remembered.
"Sect Leader Su has come to settle accounts, but thankfully, for some reason, Sect Leader Su did not kill Master."
Su Muchan smiled bitterly. They hadn't even used their full power yet?
"I do know the reason, but I think Sister Rou'er should be glad that it was Suzhou that came, not those two lousy immortals."
Shangguan Rou was a little confused. She knew it was because of Li Shiyao, but what did this have to do with the Immortal Venerable?
Is this referring to the big fox in the Northern Region?
"What's the meaning?"
Su Muchan also looked distressed, rubbing her forehead as she said, "If Li Shiyao hadn't stopped us, and if Sect Leader Su hadn't happened to be absent, Sect Leader Su would probably have ended up like Cheng Liang."
"You mean that big fox?" Shangguan Rou had many questions. She could naturally sense that the big fox and Su Cheng were at odds, but she felt that it was probably more than just what the big fox said.
"That big fox is called the Jade-Stealing and Fragrance-Stealing Immortal Venerable, you've seen him. There's also a pink-haired little brat called the Flower-Seeking and Willow-Asking Immortal Venerable, neither of them are good people!"
Su Muchan was furious when she talked about those two immortal venerables!
However, Shangguan Rou was quite curious about the two immortal venerables!
"What do you think their relationship is with Sect Leader Su?"
Su Muchan hadn't thought about this matter in detail before, but she did consider it after bringing it up.
"The relationship between the two Immortal Venerables seems to be only superficial sisterly; in reality, they don't get along. Ye Qinghan calling Immortal Venerable Seeking Flowers and Willows 'Master's Wife' might indicate that she has a close relationship with Sect Leader Su."
"Both of the Immortal Venerables seem to have a grudge against Sect Leader Su, but neither of them will take the initiative to contact Sect Leader Su."
Twirling her long hair with her fingers, Shangguan Rou thought for a while. To be honest, she really couldn't see through the big fox, and couldn't even sense any emotion from it.
"The two immortal venerables clearly do not belong to this world, and may also be bound by some kind of rule that we are unaware of."
"It's also possible that they have other plans. That big fox gave me a very strange feeling."
