Shouheng had something to report to Xuanbu in the morning, but he was the only one who could leave Xuanbu in a conscious state. However, one of the two talismans that Hua Xiangyun had given him earlier had turned to ash.
With his master and fellow disciples not here, he had to protect the Xuan Department, so he came here without hesitation.
The talisman that Comrade Jiang Yi had just worn gave him more confidence on this trip.
Hua Xiangyun: "So you came here without figuring out the reason?"
"Conservation," he said. "What's there to figure out? Ever since our Xuan Department was established, there have always been various sects coming to provoke us."
However, in the past, when our Minister Jin and several other masters were around, these people were either subdued and made to submit willingly or obediently.
I don't know which despicable people found out that our masters were all out, and chose this time to come and cause trouble. It's simply despicable and shameless.
"Comrade Hua Xiangyun, let's hurry over and take a look. The other senior brothers are lying on the ground, seemingly trapped in a dream. I've heard from a senior brother that you're skilled in formations; please, you must help this time."
In fact, Hua Xiangyun has already logged into the Xuan Department, so doing these things is entirely her duty.
But Shouheng was self-aware enough that he didn't dare to be tough in front of these direct disciples.
Hua Xiangyun hasn't taken up a post in the Xuan Department yet. If she completely washes her hands of it, no one can criticize her.
Hua Xiangyun didn't know that she could ignore it, but now that they've come knocking on her door, she can't pretend it never happened.
He lifted his foot and walked outside, saying, "Let's go take a look."
Despite the pain in his back, Shouheng quickly caught up, saying, "I drove here."
"This child isn't eating breakfast..." Tian Guihua chased after him, wearing an apron. Even if it's something important, he still needs to eat.
Hua Xiangyun, sitting in the car, waved to her, "You guys eat first, I'll just grab something to eat when I get back..."
All that remained for Tian Guihua was the silhouette of a car and the words that floated in the air and gradually disappeared.
Jiang Yi came over and persuaded everyone to go home, saying, "Let's eat first, and I'll go check on things after we finish eating."
He would have been a little worried in the past, but Hua Xiangyun's combat power now is several levels higher than in her previous life, not to mention the Nine Lotus Cauldron.
Although Tian Guihua and the others were still somewhat worried, what could be such a huge matter that they were so eager to take the person away?
Faced with their concerns, Jiang Yi didn't know how to explain or reassure them, so he simply kept quiet.
Looking back now, it's actually not so bad that we live separately. Otherwise, things like this might happen from time to time, and the health of the two elderly people is not suitable for such dramatic ups and downs.

"You mean people used to come and provoke us all the time?" Sitting in the jeep, Hua Xiangyun looked at the ever-changing road ahead without changing her expression. Her driving skills were quite good; that drift just now had narrowly missed a pedestrian.
“Yes,” Shouheng said quickly, then circled around another alley. “As you know, our Xuan Department has just been established, and many small sects are arrogant and unwilling to be controlled by others in the future, so they came to cause trouble.”
As long as it's not too outrageous, the seniors will handle it leniently, just give them a lesson and that's it. But those who are stubborn and have committed many evils will also be dealt with.
They thought that after giving a few sects a warning, these people would behave themselves, but they never expected that these people would take advantage of the fact that their elders were away and cause trouble again.
I think they've been keeping an eye on things for a while now. There were supposed to be a few senior brothers overseeing things, but for various reasons, they all went to deal with it.
They dared to come because they were certain that the Xuan tribe was currently unmanned.
In the past, Shouheng would just stand by and watch these things happen, since there were always higher-ups to handle things.
But now that all the tall guys have gone out, he's the only one who can get out of there, so he's bound to have a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
He went through all the Xuanbu members in the capital, and could only find Hua Xiangyun.
"Do you know who did this?"
Shouheng shook his head. "As soon as I realized something was wrong, I rushed over for help. I don't know how my other fellow disciples are doing yet."
"If our seniors weren't absent, these people wouldn't dare to come here and cause such a rash act, even if they had ten times the courage."
At this point, Shouheng lost control of his emotions, his hands trembled, and he almost crashed into the corner of the wall. Fortunately, his driving skills were good enough that he narrowly avoided it.
"Let's focus on driving," Hua Xiangyun said. She wasn't worried about damaging the car, but she was afraid of injuring innocent pedestrians. "We don't want the car to be totaled before we even make it."
Shouheng didn't dare to speak anymore, since he had already told him everything he knew. As for anything else, he really didn't know anything at all.
Genbu was a newly established department, and the best spots had been taken by other units, so its location was relatively remote.
After driving through countless streets and winding through countless alleys, the car finally came to a stop.
Looking around at this desolate place, there is only one large house. The only thing that is worth mentioning is that the courtyard is built in a rather grand manner and is shrouded in a layer of spiritual energy.
"This place is nice," Hua Xiangyun remarked, taking in the sights.
On the way here, she had thought it through. If they really came to cause trouble, they would know when to stop. After all, she had heard that the Xuan Department had recruited several capable people. How could she dare to offend them to death?
“It’s a little off-center,” Shouheng pointed to the main gate. “I’ll take you in; not just anyone can get in.”
Being in this location, it's very inconvenient for them to come and go. Sometimes, Shouheng even stays here for work.
It was Hua Xiangyun's first time visiting, so she followed the host's lead and kept an eye on her surroundings.
There were some scattered houses around, but they were quite far from the courtyard, as if they were deliberately separated.
Although they are currently at a side gate, it is still quite impressive.
As expected, it couldn't be that simple, given that it served as the main base of the Xuanbu.
Shouheng held a piece of jade and swept it across the stone wall on his right, and the light in front of the door seemed to change slightly.
"Didn't they say that someone was casting a spell on you outside? Why didn't you see it?" Hua Xiangyun didn't rush to follow them in; instead, she asked a question.
"The door for our own staff to enter and exit has a nameplate on the other side." Shouheng slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten to mention this.
"Fortunately, the other party was only provoking and did not go all out, otherwise they would have blocked this back door, and I would have been really helpless." At that time, several of my senior brothers entered and exited through the main gate and were caught in the trap. They are still on the other side of the main gate, and their fate is unknown.
"Let's hurry up and go. I wonder how the senior brothers are doing now?" Shouheng didn't dare to delay for even a minute. He pushed open the small door on the side and went in first.
Hua Xiangyun followed behind him. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she immediately felt that the spiritual energy here was much denser than outside. It seemed that a large array had been set up here as well.
