"Tsk, even if it's just a prank, it should be punished." Qi Huai looked at Ju Xiayue and Ning Yi, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

Qi Huai is not a good person who repays evil with kindness. Normally, if you don't provoke him, his temper is actually quite good, but if you provoke him...

Sorry, you should be responsible for your own behavior.

Although this incident was just a prank, Qi Huai hates other people setting him up, so... the person who did this prank will have a hard time in the future.

Because this incident is not a big deal, Qi Huai will not let others get injured, but... a trip to Yaopu is inevitable.

Yaopu is a place in Yaogu where spiritual medicine is grown. People are needed to take care of it every day. Because many things in Yaopu are very precious, the apprentices in Yaopu are very hard-working. Not only do they shuttle through the herbs from morning to night every day, but they also have to concentrate at all times to avoid damaging the spiritual medicine.

Basically, the work of taking care of Yaopu is the most disliked by the apprentices in Yaogu.

It is also a reasonable punishment to let the prankster stay in Yaopu for a period of time.

Ju Xiayue and Ning Yi saw Qi Huai's smile and understood that he should have an arrangement for the prankster, so they didn't say anything.

Afterwards, Qi Huai, Ning Yi and Ju Xiayue walked around Yaogu and returned to Gong Ming's house.

"Huh, I wouldn't have gone out if I had known." Qi Huai lay lazily on the sofa.

Ju Xiayue sat on the sofa next to Qi Huai. When she heard what Qi Huai said, she laughed and said, "There are a lot more rumors after going out."

Ning Yi glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and just took out his sword to wipe it.

————

When Qi Huai and the others were in the Medicine Valley, a lot of things happened outside.

The announcement by the Cultivation Alliance that Qi Huai, Ning Yi and Gong Ming would participate in this Cultivation Conference alone has already excited many people.

Other things include the fact that the leader of the Cultivation Alliance is unconscious, and now the Cultivation Alliance relies entirely on the leader's assistant and deputy leader to preside over the matter.

In addition, it seems that a mysterious force has appeared in the human world, making people panic...

Yanjing Cultivation Alliance Headquarters.

In the building of the alliance headquarters, people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Logistics Department were busy coming and going.

"Minister, there is a meeting at 3 o'clock that requires your participation." A man in a dark blue uniform walked into the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs with a folder.

Since the incident of the Ten Thousand Talisman Formation, the Cultivation Alliance has undergone a major change, and now the eight major departments are managed by new ministers.

"Yes, I see." The new Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tang Shi, raised his head and took the folder, and responded lightly.

The man in the dark blue uniform looked at the minister who was processing the documents, and wanted to say something else.

"?" After a while, Tang Shi found that the person in front of him had not left, so he looked up and asked: "What else?"

"I..." The man in the dark blue uniform stammered: "This cultivation conference..."

"What?" Tang Shi looked at the hesitant man in front of him and frowned.

The man in the dark blue uniform took a deep breath and said, "Because Young Master Qi and the Sword Immortal of Yaogu Medical Immortal Sword Sect are the judges for this Cultivation Conference, the number of applicants is much higher than before, and some aristocratic families have also intervened."

Although the previous Cultivation Conferences were also very lively, there were still some people who did not participate for various reasons, so the Cultivation Alliance was still well managed.

But this time...

the Cultivation Alliance underestimated the influence of Qi Huai and his team. Qi Huai and his team can be said to be the top in various cultivation fields. They are idols among this young generation.

And the reward of studying with Qi Huai and his team for a month is also a big temptation for those aristocratic families.

So... this time the Cultivation Alliance is far from enough to prepare as before.

After hearing what the man in the dark blue uniform said, Tang Shi put down his pen and frowned in thought.

"Well, regarding the large number of applicants, you should go to the logistics department to ask for some supplies first. As for the noble families... I'll think about it." Tang Shi thought for a while and then said to the person in front of him.

"Yes."

Watching his subordinates leave, Tang Shi lay back in his chair, half-closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, [Noble families...]

...

3 pm, Cultivation Alliance meeting room.

Alliance leader assistant Tian Maoyan stood in the first seat and looked at the eight ministers present.

"This time, we called everyone here for the Cultivation Conference and the mysterious force that suddenly appeared." Tian Maoyan motioned everyone to look at the paper in front of him.

"The Cultivation Conference has always been managed by our alliance. What do the noble families mean this time?" The director of the intelligence department stood up and said angrily.

Because of the rewards of this Cultivation Conference, many noble families are now secretly trying to let their family members win the first place.

This is unacceptable to the Cultivation Alliance.

It is a rule passed down from the past that noble families do not interfere in the Cultivation Conference. The Cultivation Alliance will not let the noble families destroy it. After all, this kind of thing will happen again, and they cannot let it go.

"The affairs of the noble families are relatively simple. We can just find a few noble families to kill chickens and scare the monkeys. The trouble is actually that mysterious force." Tang Shi stood up and looked at everyone and said.

"Yes."

"Indeed."

"..."

The other ministers nodded in response.

Tian Maoyan, assistant to the leader, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "Let's follow Minister Tang's instructions on the family affairs. Now let's mainly talk about the mysterious force."

The eight ministers nodded and looked at Tian Maoyan.

"According to our investigation, this mysterious force first appeared half a year ago. Since then, they have been operating in the dark until recently, when they gradually came to the surface." Tian Maoyan talked about the information he had obtained.

"In addition, we also learned that the people of this force like to wear black cloaks."

"There are others..."

"..."

"Yeah."

Several ministers nodded and thought while listening to Tian Maoyan's words.

Finally, after an hour of discussion, the eight ministers came out with solemn faces.

As soon as Tang Shi returned to his office, he called in his two assistants.

"Minister." Mu Duan and Ji Meng walked up to Tang Shi and stood in front of him.

The two of them were originally Gao Yi's subordinates, but because of the incident with the Wan Fu Array, Gao Yi had disappeared (it was said to be missing, but in fact everyone knew that they should have died), so they are now working under the new minister Tang Shi.

"Yeah." Tang Shi nodded to Mu Duan and Ji Meng, and then said: "Regarding the affairs of the family, I plan to leave it to you two." "

Yes." Mu Duan and Ji Meng nodded in response without objection.

The two of them have grown a lot in the past ten years, so they no longer have to be as cautious as they were at the beginning. Now they are more confident.

"Take the information and go." Tang Shi handed the information to Mu Duan and Ji Meng.

Mu Duan and Ji Meng took the information and turned away.

Mu Duan and Ji Meng took the information and walked towards the restless families with great momentum.

Although there are several restless families, they will not go to every one of them. As long as they find a few families to kill a chicken to scare the monkey, I believe that the other families will behave themselves.

Just when Mu Duan and Ji Meng went to trouble the aristocratic families, Gong Ming also returned to his house.

As soon as Gong Ming entered the room, he saw Qi Huai, Ning Yi and Ju Xiayue, who were bored and started playing cards.

Although Qi Huai and the others are one soul, because of the influence of the shell, it is quite interesting for the three of them to play cards.

Ju Xiayue has the personality of a young girl and is more lively, so her cards will be more straightforward and her facial expressions will be more varied. Qi Huai grew up in a family, so he is more thoughtful. As for Ning Yi... he has been frowning, so you can't tell anything from his face.

Gong Ming watched a round of their game and finally shook his head with a smile. They all know each other too well, so playing this game is actually not as interesting as playing with others. It was fine at the beginning, but later it became a matter of looking at the other party's expression and making a move.

"Well... I'm back." Qi Huai, who had just finished a round, looked up and smiled at Gong Ming and said hello.

Gong Ming smiled, then walked over and sat down next to Qi Huai, "They've already been sent away."

Qi Huai put away the cards, then leaned on Gong Ming's shoulder, "What happened just now..."

"I've dealt with it all. Yao Pu will work for a month." Before Qi Huai finished speaking, Gong Ming knew what he was going to say, and he had already dealt with it.

"As expected of me, it's great." Qi Huai hugged Gong Ming's waist and smiled and praised him.

"You're disgusting." Ju Xiayue rolled her eyes at Qi Huai and Gong Ming, then took out her mobile phone and looked at it casually. Suddenly, she turned to a picture, and after a moment of surprise, she handed it to Qi Huai and the others.

"What?" Qi Huai let go of his hand and picked up the phone that Ju Xiayue handed over.

On the phone was a report about the mysterious force.

Originally, the Cultivation Alliance had blocked the news about this mysterious force, but for some reason, the Internet is full of news about it.

"..." Ning Yi leaned over and took a look, then fell silent.

"This force..." Ju Xiayue said hesitantly.

Qi Huai put down his phone and looked at Gong Ming and the others around him, "It should be one of the forces involved in the Wan Fu Array incident."

As mentioned before, there were several forces involved in the Wan Fu Array incident. Qi Huai and his team had been planning for so long but only caught the two men in black in the wooden house. As for other forces, Qi Huai and his team had no idea.

"Isn't this just right?" Gong Ming said to Qi Huai, Ning Yi and Ju Xiayue.

"Yes, just right." Qi Huai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile. Qi Huai really wanted to catch the mastermind behind the scenes.

Qi Huai looked at the few shells around him and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

Since these masterminds jumped in front of Qi Huai and his friends, Qi Huai and his friends accepted them without hesitation...

"Get ready to go back." Qi Huai stood up and greeted Ning Yi and Ju Xiayue.

In order to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, Qi Huai needed to prepare well, so he planned to go back to Qi's house first.

"Yeah." Ning Yi and Ju Xiayue nodded to Qi Huai, then stood up.

"I'll take you there." Gong Ming also stood up and looked at Qi Huai and his friends.

Gong Ming is the medical immortal of Yaogu, and he is not a martial arts person, so this time the fight with the mastermind mainly depends on Ning Yi, Qi Huai and Ju Xiayue to assist.

"Let's go." Qi Huai walked out first, followed by Ning Yi and others.
