Han Zhen's straight back bent slightly. As the most promising young generation of the Yunhai Tianshi Association, he was being trained as the successor to the president.
When he was outside, no matter how panicked or scared he was inside, he couldn't show it, because he represented not only himself, but also the Yunhai Tianshi Association, and even the face of his master, Taoist Xuwu.
Therefore, no matter how much pressure Han Zhen felt, he could only and dared not show it in front of his two elders.
Han Zhen wiped his face and said in a low voice: "I'm not afraid that I can't solve it, I'm just... sad."
Mu Enci's eyes flashed, and he made a sharp guess: "The undercover agent was found? Is he someone you know?"
Han Zhen nodded and said with difficulty: "It's Chen Yu."
Mu Enci frowned slightly. There were quite a few Heavenly Masters in the association, almost two hundred in total, but she did know a little about Chen Yu.
In the entire Yunhai Tianshi Association, apart from Han Zhen and Ning Guochao, Chen Yu has the best talent. He is also one of the young Tianshi that the association’s top management focuses on training after careful discussion.
The three of them often go on missions together and are jokingly called the "Three Musketeers" by many Taoist priests.
In fact, Mu Enci had thought more than once that after she retired, with the help of Ning Guochao and Chen Yu, Han Zhen would be able to take over her position with much more ease.
You clearly have a very bright future, so why would you become an accomplice to a vicious enemy?
After a long silence, Mu Enci asked, "Is the source of the information reliable?" Her first reaction was that she did not want to doubt their Taoist priest. Perhaps it was a plot by the enemy to sow discord.
Han Zhen nodded, breaking her beautiful fantasy. "Wen Qi told me that she discovered it a long time ago, but she didn't say anything because she was waiting and watching. But something happened in the examination room. Such a venomous snake..." He paused for a moment and continued, "If it roams around us and we don't raise our guard, we might be wiped out."
Before today, he would never have thought that he would use such words to describe the brother who had been through thick and thin with him. It was obvious that Chen Yu almost died when they were trying to resolve the fusion of souls.
So, is that acting too?
Mu Enci sighed, stood up and went to the archive room behind him to take out Chen Yu's file.
The file is very thick, and it records everything, big and small, that happened to Chen Yu from birth to the present.
Chen Yu has experienced a lot in his twenty years of life. He was born in a small county town under Yunhai City. He was thrown at the door of an orphanage by his mother before he was full-term and was wrapped in a thin quilt in the cold winter.
When he was found by the welfare home, the child was breathing weakly and his body was pale, but he was lucky enough to survive.
He lived in an orphanage until he was five years old. Because he kept encountering supernatural events, the director entrusted him to an old Taoist priest who had retired from the Taoist Association, and he began to learn skills.
The name "Chen Yu" was also given to him by the old master. The master was very strict and would beat and scold him at any time, but Chen Yu never resented it because the master gave him a family.
Unlike sharing the love of the director’s mother with so many other children in the orphanage, in this home with Master, he can get Master’s full attention.
Even with strict discipline, Chen Yu felt happy because he was a child who was being taken care of.
But the good times did not last long. Just after his tenth birthday, his master passed away, and Chen Yu lost his cherished home again.
On the day of the funeral, Chen Yu was taken home by his master's good friend to be raised, but the good friend had his own family and naturally did not pay too much attention to Chen Yu. Although he was an adopted son, he was more like a long-term guest and could not integrate into the entire family.
It was not until he was eighteen that Chen Yu became completely independent. He took the initial exam for Heavenly Masters and passed it in one try with excellent results. He was successfully admitted into the Heavenly Masters Association. Starting from the grassroots level, it took him a full eight years to make a name for himself.
At the same time, since he started working in the association, he would set aside one-third of his monthly salary to pay to his master's friends, to thank their family for raising him over the years. He basically didn't spend any money on the rest except for food, and he saved it all.
Chen Yu once said that he wanted to save money to buy back his master's house, because all his memories of "home" were in that house.
But Tianshi’s salary was really too low. Even though he occasionally received bonuses, he had already saved a lot of money. However, the housing prices in Yunhai had been rising, and it was still not enough for the down payment.
How could such a filial and grateful child become an accomplice of a demon like Xuye?
Mu Enci couldn't figure it out. After reading it again, she guessed, "Could it be because of money?" Because he couldn't save enough money, he became obsessed and went astray?
Han Zhen was not sure either. "If he really needs money, just tell us. We can't help him. Although we don't have much money, we can always get enough if we all pool our money together."
"There must be other reasons." Han Zhen looked determined, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked, "What is the origin of Chen Yu's master?"
Mu Enci stood up again and went to the archive room. This time it took her a while to search. After all, this was an old Taoist priest who had passed away many years ago, and the archives were piled up a lot. In a few years, they might be destroyed.
"Found it." Mu Enci came out with a thicker book.
Chen Yu's master is named Chen Xingyang, a high-level celestial master who remained unmarried all his life and devoted all his time to work. After retirement, he accepted Chen Yu as his disciple in order to ensure that there would be successors.
Chen Xingyang was a very straight man when he was young, and when he got older he became a weird old man with a bad temper.
But he really has the ability and has made many contributions to the peace of Yunhai City. In a five-centimeter-thick file, four centimeters of information records his achievements.
After reading it, Han Zhen asked, "Did Senior Chen Xingyang reincarnate directly after his death?"
There is no record of this in the file. Mu Enci thought about it and said uncertainly: "He should have gone to reincarnate. When I attended the funeral, I didn't feel the fluctuation of his soul power."
Han Zhen shook his head and proposed another possibility, "What if Chen Yu imprisoned his soul?"
Mu Enci subconsciously refuted, "Impossible, even if he is dead, Chen Xingyang's soul power is very strong. He is not Chen Yu who was only ten years old at the time..."
Before she finished speaking, she reacted and turned to the last page of the information, which clearly stated the cause of death: exhaustion of soul power.
There was silence in the office for a moment.
After a long while, Han Zhen spoke, "Chen Yu's goal is to revive his master?"
Chen Xingyang has spent his entire life eliminating evil spirits, but in the end he was going to be resurrected in such an evil way by his disciple who inherited his mantle. Even if he succeeded, he would probably be so angry that he would die immediately.
Or maybe he would drag Chen Yu down with him to die together.
No more, no time to write, see you tomorrow
