"I...I am...?" The burly man blinked a few times, his face suddenly twitching violently. He seemed to have remembered something important, pacing anxiously in circles. "No, I can't stay here. I have something important to report to the Heavenly Court...I need to report to the Heavenly Court..."
"If you have anything to say, just tell me," Wang Yao said hurriedly.
"No, no, they have many eyes and ears, be careful, be careful..." The big man looked around again, like a frightened bird searching for a place to hide in the room.
"Don't be nervous, I guarantee nothing here can hurt you," Wang Yao comforted him from behind.
"You..." The burly man stopped and turned to look at Wang Yao. He sniffed heavily, his expression changing instantly. "Yao-zai, aren't you my Yao-zai? What are you doing in the demon realm? Go back, go back! Daddy will take you back!"
As he spoke, the big man reached out to grab Wang Yao's arm again.
"I'll take you away." Wang Yao nodded slightly. It seemed that this Ao Xian must have experienced an extremely tragic change, otherwise he wouldn't be mentally deranged. It would be very difficult for him to find out the truth in this room.
Ao Guang was, after all, a great immortal on par with Fairy Maiden and Immortal Lü. After the incident, he had a very strong psychological suggestion for himself, which was that he would never reveal the truth unless he met the real person in charge of the Heavenly Court.
The good thing is that he always treated you as his son; otherwise, if you weren't a true Mahayana disciple from the Heavenly Court descending to the mortal realm, you probably wouldn't even be able to find him.
"You...? Who are you? Where is this place? What are you trying to do by bringing me here?" Unexpectedly, after hearing Wang Yao's words, the big man sniffed heavily twice, then his expression suddenly changed. As if waking from a dream, he stared at Wang Yao warily and asked in a deep voice.
"This is the Liang tribe's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Guesthouse. I am Wang Yao, from the Heavenly Court's office in the human world. You came here on your own; it has nothing to do with me."
Seeing that Ao Xian suddenly resembled a porcupine with its quills popping out, and that a fight might break out at any moment, Wang Yao quickly stepped back a few paces and said to Ao Xian.
"Liang Clan Protocol Department? Human Realm Office? Since you're from the Human Realm Office, why are you here?" The burly man stared at Wang Yao, his eyes focusing again, his expression suddenly becoming mature and experienced, not at all like someone who had gone mad.
"I was assigned by the Heavenly Court's investigation team to investigate the cause of the great calamity of corpse qi in the Underworld," Wang Yao said slowly, carefully observing Ao Xian's expression.
"The Great Calamity of Corpse Qi Syndrome in the Underworld? When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?" Ao Xian frowned and asked repeatedly.
“Just recently, it was a ghost from the underworld who, together with a group of foreign gods and spirits, did this. They fled to the demon realm, so I came after them,” Wang Yao said calmly, emphasizing the words “spirits.”
“Essence…God of the East…Oh right, I have something important to report to the Heavenly Court…I have to report to the Heavenly Court…” Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Yao’s words, Ao Xian’s expression changed drastically again, and he began to stammer once more.
"Don't worry, I'm here representing the Heavenly Court. Just tell me what you need to say," Wang Yao said hurriedly.
However, Ao Xian seemed not to have heard what Wang Yao said. He looked around Wang Yao's room nervously. Suddenly, his expression changed again, and then he disappeared from Wang Yao's sight as if he had never been there at all.
Wang Yao blinked for a long time before he realized what kind of magic Ao Xian had used. He had no idea. A perfectly good immortal, who was locked up in the room, had just suddenly disappeared. He was really puzzled.
If Ao Xian could pass through walls, he knocked on the door to enter. And if he could pass through walls, he should have made some kind of move, right? He just stood there without moving and disappeared without a trace. In Wang Yao's experience, only teleportation could compare to this.
But you can't teleport in a closed room, so what kind of logic is that?
After pondering for a while, Wang Yao realized an important problem: he had just met the director of the Heavenly Court's office in the Demon Realm, and he had to report this to the Fairy Maiden immediately.
Upon thinking of this, he hurriedly tapped his earpiece and called out again.
Before the fairy could even agree, there was another knock on Wang Yao's door.
When Wang Yao opened the door, he was surprised to find a large group of powerful Liang clan members standing in front of him. The leader of them was Qing Ning. Why was this guy not catching up with the other Qingqiu branch clan leaders?
"Lord of the Moon, did someone just enter your room?" Qing Ning asked with a smile.
“No…” Wang Yao shook his head.
However, Qing Ning didn't say a word and forced his way into the room past Wang Yao. Although Wang Yao had a "good guy" by his side, he couldn't stop him and could only watch helplessly.
"Hey, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Wang Yao shouted from behind Qing Ning.
Qing Ning ignored Wang Yao and instead wandered around the room, his eyes darting around as if searching for something.
"It seems we'll have to ask Argos to help with Ao Guang's microscopic techniques," Qing Ning said calmly.
Argos? Who's that? Wang Yao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he frowned deeply.
"It's truly a pity. Although I feel you're not very reliable, I originally really hoped to rescue the old patriarch through you, even if it meant sacrificing my own life. But the person who came to see you today is just too important, and I can't just stand by and do nothing."
Qing Ning turned his head and smiled at Wang Yao.
"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Wang Yao glared coldly at Qing Ning, a very bad premonition flashing through his mind.
