The security guards realized they had mistaken him for someone else and quietly retreated. The debt collector apologized to Liu Fu and fled in panic. In a short while, the corridor returned to calm.
Liu Fu stood there sulking for a while, looking annoyed. He turned to look for Wang Yao to continue to the study hall, but when he looked around, he was shocked to find that Wang Yao had disappeared without a trace, leaving him all alone in the corridor.
Where did Wang Yao go? Does he still need to listen to the lecture? Did he go to the study hall first? Liu Fu hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the study hall, unaware that Wang Yao was standing in a closed office right next to him, looking completely bewildered.
"My name is Wei Zheng. I've caused all this trouble just to invite you here. I need your help with something," an old man said to Wang Yao with a smile.
Wang Yao was watching Liu Fu's antics when, unexpectedly, his hand was gently tugged by a pair of delicate little hands. He turned his head and saw a rather beautiful woman winking at him from the office next to him.
Although Wang Yao's heart was entirely with Caixia, other fairies would only approach him if they had something important to ask for his help. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to hold his hand. Wang Yao was quite willing to help beautiful women openly and honestly, so he naturally went into the office.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the office door closed, an old man with a white beard came to greet him. He claimed to be "Wei Zheng"? You call yourself Wei Zheng? I'm Li Shimin! Wang Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes at the old man. Turning his head, he saw the fairy who had been holding his hand standing there, chuckling.
"Don't mind her, this is Li Shishi. We are all from the Heavenly Court's Immortal Clan. We invited you here today just to ask you for a small favor." Wei Zheng introduced them when he saw Wang Yao looking at the fairy.
"Xiankou Group? What a strange organization! Shouldn't you be from the Nantianmen Customs Administration?" Wang Yao was puzzled after hearing Wei Zheng's self-introduction.
“Xiao Li works at the Administration Bureau, but I don’t,” Wei Zheng shook his head. “I was notified by Xiao Li and rushed here to see you. As for the Immortal Mouth Group, it’s a group formed by some like-minded immortals in our Immortal Realm. It’s not an organization that opposes the Heavenly Court, so you don’t need to worry.”
"Here's the situation: if I'm not mistaken, you were taken in for questioning by the Inspector General's Investigation Office, right? They wanted to know about Xi Fu's situation?" Wei Zheng continued.
Wang Yao nodded, waiting for Wei Zheng to continue.
"Could you also tell us what you said to the patrolling celestial general?" Wei Zheng asked.
"Why?" Wang Yao frowned.
“Oh… I see. Xi Fu’s trip to the foreign border is actually related to our Xiankou group, but since he returned, he has been hunted down by the patrolling generals. We have no way to see him, so we want to know if you have any information about him.” Wei Zheng’s expression turned serious.
Although Wei Zheng repeatedly claimed that their Immortal Mouth Group was not an organization opposing the Heavenly Court, Wang Yao still sensed a strong whiff of conspiracy after hearing his introduction.
The fact that Xi Fu went to the foreign border and had a connection with the Xiankou group alone goes against the policies of the Heavenly Court. You should know that Xi Fu crossed the border illegally. If it were a legitimate matter, Xi Fu could have crossed the border through the proper channels.
Moreover, they wanted to know what they had said to the patrolling celestial general. If the Immortal Mouth Group was a legitimate organization, they could have simply gone to the patrolling celestial general to find out. Why did they secretly intercept them halfway through their journey? What kind of logic is this?
"I'm sorry, I don't know Xi Fu very well, and I didn't say anything to the patrol general." Wang Yao's expression changed, and he turned to leave.
"Please wait a moment!" Wei Zheng stepped forward and stood by the office door, blocking Wang Yao's way out. Of course, Wang Yao could force his way out, but that would mean the two sides had completely broken off relations.
"What do you mean?" Wang Yao frowned as he looked at Wei Zheng. Although Wei Zheng had a big question mark next to his head, Wang Yao was not afraid at all. First, Fairy Caixia had already said that she would arrive soon. Second, at worst, he could help Wei Zheng and that fairy surnamed Li get together.
Let this old bastard have some fun, and I can leave smoothly too. So he simply flipped his hand, took out the interface panel, and stared at Wei Zheng.
"I think you've misunderstood. Let me put it this way: our Immortal Mouth Group is an organization privately established by a group of immortals who are concerned about the Immortal Mouth problem in the Immortal Realm. Xi Fu is also a member of our Immortal Mouth Group. We are indeed just a research group."
Seeing that Wang Yao was clearly hostile, Wei Zheng had no choice but to explain the origin of the Xiankou Group in order to ease the atmosphere.
"We have discovered that in recent years, the number of immortals in the immortal realm has been declining precipitously. The aging phenomenon in the immortal realm is becoming increasingly serious. I wonder if you can believe it, but this year, you are the only new immortal in the immortal realm, while hundreds of immortals have already reached the end of their lifespan and died after experiencing the five signs of decay."
Wei Zheng said.
"What does your research on the Immortal Mouth issue have to do with what I said to the patrolling celestial generals?" Wang Yao asked with a frown, and Wei Zheng quickly nodded seriously.
"Through in-depth research by the people of Xiankou, we have discovered that although there are many reasons for the significant decline in the number of immortals in the immortal realm, we can always see the shadows of foreign gods from the foreign world. We suspect that foreign gods are systematically reducing the number of immortals in the immortal realm, and this discovery has greatly worried us."
"Several years ago, we received news that the gods from all over the Ocean Realm would gather at the Temple of the Opi this summer for a secret meeting. At that time, we planned to send immortals there to gather information and see if there would be any topics related to the immortal realm. Nowadays, the Ocean Realm has very strict control over immortals crossing over into other realms..."
