"Fine, fine, if you won't tell me, then forget it!" Gu Qi knew Yan Di's nature very well. If he didn't give in, then no matter what methods he used to coax or plead, it would all be in vain.
He sighed, then quickly changed the subject without making a sound: "But now that Hu Yue from the Xuanmen sect has been suspended, are you really just going to stand by and watch things continue to develop like this?!"
I heard that this woman offended quite a few people because she always kept her personal and professional life separate. Now that she's fallen on hard times, if we don't find a way to lend a helping hand, she'll likely face a lot of trouble ahead.
"Huh, you actually care about Hu Yue!" Before Yan Di could reply, Song Mengmeng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but speak up, asking Gu Qi with great curiosity, "Have you two known each other before?!"
Seeing Song Mengmeng's expression of waiting to see what would happen, Gu Qi choked.
His attitude seems quite different from before; he's definitely paying more attention to Hu Yue now!
Meeting the little girl's bright eyes, Gu Qi coughed softly and explained with great difficulty, "It's not that we know each other, it's just that I feel that she used to be a lot of help to us in the Special Case Investigation Team!"
If she's suspended now, it'll be a significant loss for us! It'll be much harder for us to get firsthand information so quickly again!
Besides, Song Ke is clearly problematic. He's never been friendly to Hu Yue, and now that Hu Yue is suspended and under investigation, it's hard to guarantee that Song Ke won't do something behind the scenes!
We gave Song Ke another unpleasant experience today. He's a petty person to begin with, and who knows if he won't take it out on Hu Yue after we leave!
Gu Qi's words were quite reasonable and well-founded, but unfortunately, none of the people sitting in the car were willing to accept them.
Hu Da, sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but sneer: "Speaking of which, Hu Yue has our fox clan blood flowing through her veins! I didn't even bother to deal with her, but Lord Gu Qi beat me to it. Looking at it this way, I'm really ashamed!"
"If you're not going to do anything about this, that's fine, but don't try to pin this on me by making unfounded accusations."
The atmosphere inside the car gradually turned sour. Surrounded by onlookers, Gu Qi became furious and turned his head away angrily, too lazy to provoke them anymore.
"Hu Yue will be fine. She's been in the Special Cases Unit for so long. If she can't even handle this little problem, then she really shouldn't stay in the Special Cases Unit. It's better for her to leave as soon as possible."
Seeing Gu Qi's reaction, Emperor Yan surprisingly spoke gently, explaining, "The reason we are not making a move now is to let Song Ke make the first move."
Song Ke is a spy planted within the Xuanmen (mysterious gate) of the Sawadika Kingdom's scheme within the Chinese nation.
If we can't take this opportunity to eliminate him, even if we kill this sorcerer today, another one will appear next time!
What Yan Di didn't say was that he still couldn't be sure whether the sorcerer had revealed Mengmeng's true identity.
If he simply didn't tell Song Ke, but instead sent the message back to Sawadika, that would still be a considerable problem!
In the past, he could have simply taken action and pacified the entire Kingdom of Sawadika, and everything would have been fine! But now, because of Mengmeng, he has to consider some things!
If he goes too far, he might accelerate the collapse of this little world!
If Mengmeng hasn't accumulated enough strength by then, and they want to escape from this world, what if the Heavenly Dao interferes? He doesn't yet have complete confidence in ensuring Mengmeng's safety!
He can't take that risk!
Therefore, in order for Mengmeng to have a relatively stable environment to grow up in, it would be best for the Xuanmen and Special Case Team of the Chinese government to keep things relatively clean.
"By the way, with Hu Yue in this situation, why hasn't her sect shown any signs yet?! Last time I was in Baiyue City, I saw her relationship with her master, and they seemed to have a pretty good relationship!"
Song Mengmeng leaned on the back of the driver's seat and asked Hu Da, who was driving in front, with a hint of confusion.
If this were where she used to live, and someone was wronged, the beasts would swarm out and rush out to help them get revenge!
But Hu Yue clearly has a sect, and now that she's being treated like this, won't her sect stand up for her?!
Of course, it would be fine if Hu Yue's master didn't have any say in the Xuanmen, but unfortunately, her master's status in the Xuanmen is extremely extraordinary!
Despite such a relationship, no one has come forward to say a word for Hu Yue!
There were some things that she simply couldn't understand!
"Perhaps it's to avoid suspicion!" Hu Da snorted with some disdain, muttering with considerable dissatisfaction, "Anyway, their Xuanmen has always had a bunch of ridiculous rules, who knows what those people are thinking?!"
Sometimes, it's obvious that our own disciples and followers are being framed and are innocent!
But those in charge always choose to endure it!
They kept talking about avoiding suspicion, following the rules, and the necessary trials in the process of self-cultivation...
They always wait until things have reached an irreversible point before they start crying out how their disciples have been wronged, and then they start causing trouble... Tsk! What a bunch of hypocrites! A bunch of hypocrites who, though born human, do nothing human!
Hu Da's aversion to the Xuanmen sect was never concealed.
Having the opportunity to criticize the Xuanmen sect, she naturally didn't hold back and launched into a tirade.
“Perhaps Hu Yue’s master isn’t indifferent, but rather that speaking up would be useless?!” Hearing Hu Da say this, Gu Qi surprisingly spoke up for Xuanmen, saying a few good words: “After all, although Hu Yue’s master has a certain status in Xuanmen, she is not a member of the Special Case Investigation Team.”
The special investigation team should have its own rules. We are certain that Hu Yue was wrongly accused because we know certain things!
But others don't know that!
Based on the evidence that Hu Yue ignored, it's only natural that she's being suspended from her duties pending investigation! This trouble is her own fault for her negligence; she has no one else to blame!
The fact that the Qingcheng Mountain sect didn't step in to resolve the matter after Hu Yue's incident was indeed disheartening. He didn't actually have much affection for the Xuanmen sect either, but he still felt that Hu Da's words were far too harsh.
What Gu Qi couldn't understand even more was that the sour grapes tone in her words was so strong that he couldn't ignore it.
