Facing such a situation, Xiao Chuo was naturally extremely anxious. Su Yun was sitting here, how could he let them in?
"I can't come in for the time being."
In a moment of desperation, Xiao Chuo quickly said.
With that said, there was a short period of silence outside the house, and then the voice came out again.
"Lord Xiao, is it inconvenient for you now? If it's not convenient now, I can wait outside the house, and I can go in whenever it's convenient. This is an order personally given by the Immortal Court Judge, so we do not dare to neglect it, please forgive us, Lord Xiao. "
Hearing that, Xiao Chuo felt a headache, these fellows did not plan to leave, if they did not leave, then it would be impossible for Su Yun to leave, although she had become the Minister of Resources of the Immortal Court, but this cultivation ground was not big, and it was extremely difficult to hide a person!
"Then wait a moment, I'm not wearing any clothes right now!"
Xiao Chuo shouted.
With that said, the people outside were speechless, but they all understood, and thought that Lord Xiao Chuo was cultivating.
However, this could not delay for too long, Xiao Chuo was well aware that if he did not hide Su Yun, the danger would not be resolved, but Su Yun was already in a meditative state, and could not be touched, much less use the Illusory Sail to hide him.
What should he do? What should he do?
Xiao Chuo's heart was filled with anxiety.
She had originally thought that after Xuan Hong came, no one else would come, but she never thought that the situation would be so serious, and that the Immortal Court would come back again and again.
Knock knock knock
At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
"Lord Xiao, it's been almost half an incense's worth of time, are you still not done?"
The voice outside sounded somewhat doubtful.
Xiao Chuo knew that he could not delay any longer, otherwise, they would definitely be suspicious.
However, if he did not delay, was he going to let them in?
Xiao Chuo thought about it, and suddenly, her expression became gloomy and cold.
She quickly took out a few pills from the space bag and poured a pot of immortal tea. She poured some immortal qi into the pills, rubbed them into powder with her fingers, and scattered them into the tea.
Following that, she took out a shelf and surrounded Su Yun, then took out the Illusory Sail and placed it on the shelf. Su Yun, who was in the middle, was blocked, but was not touched by the sail. The sail was activated, and immediately became a huge pill furnace.
When Xiao Chuo saw that everything was fine, he immediately walked over, removed the barrier, and opened the door.
Outside the door stood four men in black armor with knives at their waists. One of them was wearing an eye patch and had short hair. It was Gongsun Zhang. Seeing Xiao Ling open the door, everyone cupped their fists and saluted Xiao Ling. "Greetings, Master Xiao Ling."
"You're welcome." Xiao Chuo expressionlessly looked at the four people and said, "I wonder why you have come to my place?"
As she spoke, she tugged at her clothes to prove that she was indeed naked just now. However, he had no intention of letting the four of them in.
Gongsun Zhang looked left and right, then said in a low voice, "Master Xiao Chuo, there are many people here, why don't we go in and talk?"
Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "Alright, come in and talk."
Xiao Chuo turned around and walked in.
The four people entered the house one after another, and the door was closed.
After entering the house, everyone looked around. Xiao Chuo frowned slightly. He knew that these people still had some doubts in their hearts, so he said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Xiao Chuo is listening."
Gongsun Zhang hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Since Lord Xiao has said so, we won't take up Lord Xiao's time. Let's cut to the chase. In fact, we have a very confidential matter to discuss with Lord Xiao. Every department will send someone to discuss this matter with their superiors. This matter is related to whether our Immortal Court can survive this turmoil, and whether we can continue to grow stronger in the future. Therefore, it's very important. "
Hearing Gongsun Zhang's words, Xiao Chuo felt that the matter was much more serious than he had imagined. He immediately asked, "What is it?"
Gongsun Zhang took out a small silver book and opened it. It was filled with the names of the personnel of the Resources Department. A small portion of them were crossed out, some were ticked, and there were many that didn't have any marks on them.
"What is this?" Xiao Chuo asked, puzzled.
"This is the name list of the personnel of the Resources Department." Gongsun Zhang pointed at the top and said, "Those who are ticked are those who are innocent and loyal to the Immortal Court. And those who are crossed are those who might have betrayed the Immortal Court and cheated. They have all been arrested and sent to the Ministry of Justice. And those who are not marked are those who have not been dealt with yet. "
"Is that so?" Xiao Chuo's heart thumped. Although she knew that the Immortal Court was searching for Su Yun's whereabouts, she never thought that the higher-ups would attach so much importance to this matter, to the extent of arresting people randomly!
"Now, all the departments are conducting investigations, so many things have to be stopped. From this, it can be seen that the higher-ups are placing great importance on this chaos in the forbidden land. If we don't come up with an explanation, I'm afraid that no one will have a good time." Gongsun Zhang sighed.
"Then why are you looking for me?" Xiao Chuo asked.
"We want to ask Master Xiao to cooperate with us and provide us with clues to help us find the person who might be hiding in the Resources Department. Also, the higher-ups have issued a secret order. In our Immortal Court, there should be spies of the Demonic Qi Realm. When Master Xiao is looking for the thief, we hope that you can pay attention. If there are any clues, please inform us immediately."
Gongsun Zhang said in a low voice, his words careful.
Although Xiao Chuo was expressionless on the surface, her heart was pounding.
She never thought that the Immortal Court would already be aware of it. It seemed that she had to be careful when contacting Su Yun in the future.
Gongsun Zhang wanted to say something to Xiao Chuo, but at this time, hiss hiss.
A light sound suddenly came from the side. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, only to see the huge cauldron beside them suddenly distort.
Everyone was shocked. They immediately stood up and looked at the cauldron warily.
"What's going on?"
"This cauldron is a disguise?"
Gongsun Zhang frowned and said in a low voice.
"This is just one of my treasures. When the pill in the cauldron is about to be refined, this will happen. Everyone, don't be nervous." Xiao Chuo immediately stood up and said with a smile. Then, he picked up the immortal tea and handed it to everyone.
"Come, everyone has been busy for so long. You should be tired, right? Come, drink some tea. I specially brewed this for you. "
Xiao Chuo said.
"Hmph, Master Xiao, why lie to us? Although our strength is weaker than Master Xiao, we can still tell if this cauldron is an illusion technique. "
Gongsun Zhang said coldly. Then, he walked over and grabbed.
The Illusion Sail was immediately pulled down. The cauldron disappeared. What replaced it were a few crooked bookshelves and a muscular man with a bare upper body.
"Oh?"
Everyone was stunned.
"You guys."
The man inside was also stunned. He took two steps back and looked at them carefully.
"Who are you?" Gongsun Zhang asked.
"I … I … I am …" The man hesitated for a moment, but didn't know how to answer.
But at this moment, Xiao Chuo suddenly spoke.
"He … he is … he is my dual cultivation partner!!!"
She said it shyly and stuttered. Everyone could tell that she was very nervous at the moment.
But when she said this, Gongsun Zhang and the others were shocked.
Ever since Xiao Chuo entered the Immortal Court, she had always been decisive and had a tough personality. She never involved herself in the affairs of men and women. Many of the Immortals who admired her flinched at the sight of her. Naturally, her reputation grew.
It was said that there were already a few Immortals with decent strength and rank who were interested in her, hoping to become dual cultivation partners with her. But they were all rejected by her. And now, when everyone heard Xiao Chuo's words, they were all shocked!!
"Master Xiao, what you said … can't be true, right?" Gongsun Zhang stuttered.
"How … how can it be false? The reason why I didn't open the door just now was because we were … "Xiao Chuo stuttered more and more, and her face was as red as fire.
Gongsun Zhang and the rest were not idiots. If they still did not understand the meaning behind Xiao Chuo's words, then they would be idiots.
"So that's how it is …" Gongsun Zhang coughed, his face filled with awkwardness.
"Master Xiao Chuo is cultivating, we understand … understand …"
Everyone said.
Although they were polite on the surface, everyone had their own thoughts. How could they not curse Xiao Chuo for being a hypocrite? She looked like a pure girl, but in reality, she was so lewd …
Gongsun Zhang looked at Su Yun, sized him up, and said: "But speaking of which, Master Xiao, is this Master from our Immortal Court?"
"Ah … He … He … He's not from the Immortal Court … He is … He is …"
"I am a disciple of the Eight Harmonies Sect. I am under the orders of my master to come here to exchange and learn. I have known Master Xiao Chuo for a long time, so … hehe …"
"Oh? So you are from the Eight Harmonies Sect … "
"You do have some ability."
Gongsun Zhang and the rest laughed, they sized up the guy in front of them, his skin was a little pale, but his entire body seemed to be extremely well-dressed, he looked quite handsome, but they did not know how strong he was.
No wonder Xiao Chuo would reject so many immortals, she already had a dual cultivation partner.
But just then, Gongsun Zhang suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly turned cold, he stared coldly at the man, and asked: "Since you are hiding at the side, then let me ask you, did you hear our conversation with Master Xiao Chuo just now?"
