"Did Brother Zu go to cultivate? No wonder he is so advanced at such a young age." Xie Daoyun noticed the frost on his hair and that he looked a bit travel-worn. Of course, she would never have guessed that he had traveled thousands of kilometers away in one night.
Zu'an knew he and she had misunderstood, so there was no need to explain further: "Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, thank you, Brother Zu." The wind was strong, and Xie Daoyun gently smoothed the stray strands of hair that had been blown into her temples.
"It's windy outside, let's go inside and talk." Zuan noticed that she seemed to have specially drawn her eyebrows today, applied face powder, and her lips were bright red.
"Hmm~" If it were any other man, Xie Daoyun would definitely not enter his bedroom casually, but Zu An is different.
Before going in, Zuan deliberately put Daji away. The two chatted in the tent for a while, telling each other about what had happened to them in the past few days.
Thinking of the case of the seventh-ranked gold medalist, Zu'an casually asked, "That mantra talisman you used yesterday was amazing. What level of cultivation can it be used on?"
He really wanted to test whether there was anything wrong with that high ponytail.
Speaking of her profession, Xie Daoyun was quite excited. She gave a general explanation of the principles behind making mantra talismans, and then added, "It's probably around the sixth or seventh grade at most. However, people's hearts are complex. If you encounter someone with a strong will, even mantra talismans can't detect it. Therefore, the imperial court rarely accepts this result and only uses it as an auxiliary means occasionally."
After listening, Zuan realized that using it to test high ponytails was indeed unreliable.
Noticing his disappointment, Xie Daoyun asked considerately, "Brother Zu, have you encountered something difficult lately?"
"No, not really, just asking casually," Zuan smiled.
Xie Daoyun pursed her lips and said, "I was overthinking it. With Brother Zu's current cultivation and status, I don't think there's anything that can stump you."
The two chatted for a while longer, and Zu'an suddenly realized that Xie Daoyun, this talented woman, was extremely knowledgeable. So he pretended to casually mention how to kill a master silently and make it look like a normal death. The Embroidered Robe Envoy and other systems basically kept this a secret from each other, and the others did not know about the seventh-ranked Gold Medalist, so they did not expect her to guess anything.
Xie Daoyun treated it as a topic of discussion and thought for a moment before replying, "A powerful water-based cultivator can fake a drowning, but if the deceased you mentioned was a top expert and there were no signs of a fight on his body, then the possibility of that is not high. In addition, I once heard my teacher mention that there is a branch of the Witch Clan that is good at mind control and can kill people silently. However, after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this lineage either died or scattered, and it is said that many of them went into seclusion in the mountains, so few people in the world know about it. If an expert from this lineage were to participate, it would be much easier to achieve."
