At first, Miao Yi just wanted to figure out what the Demonic Dance was all about. Who would have thought that Jin Man would talk about the Nameless Gate?
Previously, when Mei Ji mentioned the Nameless Gate, he thought she was referring to the traces left behind when he cleaned up the Nameless Gate Ruins. Now that the Killing Luo Sect might be related to the Nameless Gate, he couldn't help but wonder if there was a deeper meaning behind Mei Ji's words.
No matter what, Miao Yi still had something he needed to deal with, so he didn't want to get involved with Mei Ji for the time being. Under normal circumstances, the Western Paradise and the Celestial Court wouldn't interfere with each other, so the other party wouldn't dare to do anything too reckless. He didn't want to cause any more trouble for himself, so he needed to focus his attention.
But that didn't mean he didn't care about it. He ordered Yang Zhaoqing to secretly arrange for people to keep an eye on the Kṣitigarbha Temple and report to him immediately if there were any abnormalities.
Not long after he gave the order, Yang Qing took the initiative to contact him, asking what was going on and why he had to keep an eye on Ksitigarbha Temple.
As soon as Miao Yi heard this, he knew that Yang Zhaoqing had told Yang Qing about it. He was a little angry, but when he thought about it again, he realized that he was the one who had agreed to this beforehand. He had agreed to have Yang Qing keep an eye on the situation here at all times. Otherwise, Yang Zhaoqing wouldn't have done this. After thinking about it, he decided to tell Yang Qing about Mei Ji's arrival at Ksitigarbha Temple. However, he still concealed some things. Naturally, he would not tell him about the Nameless Gate ruins, as it involved the secret of the hidden treasure. He only said that Mei Ji might want to avenge herself.
Yang Qing did not know whether or not he believed this reason. In any case, he did not ask any more questions after finding out the reason why they were targeting Ksitigarbha Temple.
Boats come and go in the Ghost City. No one knows how many secrets are hidden under the clear and crystalline surface of the lake.
At the end of the street, a man with a curly beard turned into an alley and walked to the canal at the end. He observed his surroundings for a moment, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he quickly dove into the canal. Through the canal, he quickly entered the lake and moved stealthily.
Halfway through the journey, a figure suddenly leapt out from the hazy water. Before the curly-bearded man could react, he was thrown into confusion.
He waited until his head emerged from the churning water. She had already turned into a beautiful woman with long, wet hair, and a bearded mask floated beside her.
The beautiful woman looked around. She didn't know where the person who had inexplicably attacked her had gone. She suddenly looked down at her chest. More than half of her fair and supple breasts were exposed from the torn lapels of her clothes. He pulled his sleeves up to cover his chest, but when his gaze fell upon his wrist, he was taken aback. He quickly pulled up his sleeves to take a look, only to find that the storage bracelet on his wrist had disappeared.
They were robbed! The beautiful woman angrily punched the water surface.
However, this kind of thing is too common in the Ghost City. Black eating black is very normal. Now, he didn't even know where the people who robbed him went or who they were. What could he do? She was lucky that the other party only robbed her and didn't kill her. Otherwise, it would be normal for a corpse to float on the surface of the Ghost City's lake.
After a moment of anger and helplessness, he grabbed the Dragon Mustache Mask floating on the surface of the water, dived into the water, and quickly escaped.
On the core floor of the Loyalty Pavilion, Qi Jue rushed over and knocked on Cao Man's door.
"Boss!" He greeted as he entered.
Cao Man, who was sitting behind the long table and flipping through the jade archives, grunted in acknowledgement.
Qi Jue approaches the desk and reports: "The origin of the person monitoring the Ghost City's Zhenfu has been clearly investigated. I'm afraid that the boss wouldn't be able to guess who it is."
"Oh!" Cao Man raises her head and says with interest: "Isn't it one of those families that might make a move on Niu Youde?"
Qi Jue shakes his head: "No. It's someone from the Western Paradise. "
"The Western Paradise?" Cao Man is a little surprised. She throws down the jade archive in her hand, "How could it be someone from the Western Paradise? Why would someone from the Western Paradise target Niu Youde? "
Qi Jue: "The reason is unclear. After discovering that 'a group of people' was watching the Zhenfu, we immediately monitored them. Later, we found out that they were in contact with the Ksitigarbha Temple. It was already very surprising that the Western Paradise was involved. Who knew that after confirming it, they were actually people from the Killing Luo Sect. According to the informants from the Ksitigarbha Temple, the Buddhist hall where the Ksitigarbha Temple specially used to accommodate distinguished guests is no longer accessible. Niu Youde has entered it once. From this, it can be seen that the Ksitigarbha Temple must have sent someone with a high status. It could be an important person from the Killing Luo Sect. "
"The Killing Luo Sect has their eyes on Niu Youde?" Cao Man is surprised. She stands up and walks around the long table with her hands behind her back. "Niu Youde did have some conflict with the people from the Killing Luo Sect in the Western Paradise. I wonder which person from the Killing Luo Sect came here? The one who met with Niu Youde was Mei Ji, right? Could it be Mei Ji? "
Qi Jue: "I can't get close, so I can't confirm it. Niu Youde should have met with her. Maybe I can ask Niu Youde, or check with the Western Paradise. "
"We still don't know what's going on between them. It's not appropriate to ask Niu Youde. I'll ask the people from the Western Paradise to help me investigate." Cao Man takes out the Star Bell.
Qi Jue stared at the Star Bell in Cao Man's hand for a moment, then retracted his gaze. It's unknown how many groups of people were in charge of the information from the Western Paradise, just like how Cao Man's group wasn't the only ones in charge of the Heaven Court. The Xiahou Family wouldn't allow their power to be concentrated in the hands of a single person. That would be too dangerous for the entire family. In the Xiahou Family, Cao Man's power is relatively greater. He's in charge of the entire Xiahou Family's underground forces. His identity can be considered as semi-public.
As for the other people in charge, their identities can't be exposed. Other than the core members of the Xiahou Family, no one else would know their identities.
Those people aren't under Cao Man's jurisdiction, so Qi Jue doesn't know who Cao Man is contacting from the Western Paradise.
In short, after contacting him, Cao Man returned to his desk and looked at his things. Qi Jue quietly waited at the side.
After waiting for a while, Cao Man fishes out the Star Bell to receive a message. After Star Bell received it, he nodded slightly and said, "They can't confirm whether Mei Ji has left or not. They say she's in closed-door cultivation. However, some of the people who often travel with Mei Ji are also in closed-door cultivation. That's not normal. It looks like the one hiding in Ksitigarbha Temple might really be Mei Ji. Hehe, what's going on with this woman targeting Niu Youde? "
Qi Jue: "Can you ask the Western Paradise to investigate why they're targeting Niu Youde?"
Cao Man: "I mentioned it before, but this isn't something that can be investigated in a short time. What they mean is that Mei Ji went to see Jade Face Buddha and went into closed-door cultivation after returning."
Qi Jue: "Could it be that she suffered some humiliation at Poison Star's side and wants to settle the score with Niu Youde?"
Cao Man waved his hand. "That's not humiliation. It's not a loss to be oppressed by the Kou Clan. Mei Ji has slept with all kinds of men. Her skin is already extremely thick. It's not that she doesn't even have this bit of magnanimity. The key is that she went into closed-door cultivation after seeing Jade Face Buddha. It actually involves the level of Jade Face Buddha … I don't know what the Old Master thinks. "He turned his hand and took out another Star Bell to contact Xiahou Ta.
After a while, Cao Man, who quietly kept the Star Bell, looked a little serious.
Qi Jue asked tentatively, "Boss, what's wrong?"
Cao Man said in a deep voice, "The Old Master gave me some reminders. That year, the demon monk Nan Bo exterminated Nanwu Clan. Revenge was only one of the reasons. The more important reason was that Nanwu Clan seemed to have something that could restrain the demon monk Nan Bo. There was a vague rumor that Nanwu Clan seemed to have some kind of hidden treasure, but the demon monk Nan Bo couldn't find it no matter how hard he tried. The Xiahou Clan had put in a lot of effort for this, and Jade Face Buddha was very likely a fish that escaped the net of Nanwu Clan. When Niu Youde went against Killing Rakshasa Sect in the Western Paradise, he was involved in some kind of thieving dream dala. Now, Mei Ji is very likely to be ordered by Jade Face Buddha to keep an eye on Niu Youde. When all these things are linked together, the Old Master suspects that it might be related to the rumor of Nanwu Clan's hidden treasure. He wants us to pay close attention to it. "
Qi Jue pondered for a while and said suspiciously, "If Nanwu Clan really had something that could restrain the demon monk Nan Bo, they should have taken it out long ago. Why would they need to exterminate the entire clan? Could it be that there's something wrong with the rumors? "
Cao Man nodded. "It's just as you said. This is also something that the Old Master feels doesn't add up. However, the fact that Killing Rakshasa Sect is keeping an eye on Niu Youde is a little strange. The Old Master can't help but think about it a little more. It's precisely because he can't confirm it that the Old Master only wants us to pay close attention to it."
Qi Jue nodded. "This old servant will make the arrangements immediately."
Cao Man rubbed her chin and chuckled. "Interesting! Even the Buddha Realm is involved. This Niu Youde is getting more and more interesting … "
"Oh! Lord Qi, it's been a long time since I've seen you. "
The ship entered the water tunnel and docked at the shore. As soon as Miao Yi walked out of the cabin and saw Qi Jue personally coming out to greet him, he immediately cupped his fists and greeted him politely.
"This old servant has a busy life. Lord Niu is too kind." Qi Jue cupped his fists and returned the greeting. He took the opportunity to step aside and extend his hand to invite Miao Yi in. He then glanced at Xu Tangran, who was following behind Miao Yi. In the past, Yan Xiu had always been following Miao Yi. Now that it was someone else, Qi Jue couldn't help but take a second look.
It was Xu Tangran's first time following Miao Yi here. Along the way, he kept glancing around. Coupled with his natural appearance, he indeed had a shifty look about him. One look and anyone could tell that he wasn't a good person.
As usual, there were some places that he couldn't enter. He could only wait outside the corridor and watch Miao Yi leave.
Inside the guest hall, the host and guests took their seats. After a round of pleasantries, Cao Man, who was slowly sipping on her tea, tilted her head slightly and gestured to Miao Yi.
Qi Jue stepped forward, took out a jade archive and pushed it to Miao Yi. He smiled and said, "This is the time and location of the last batch of criminals."
Miao Yi picked it up and looked at it. He laughed at himself and said, "Looks like my good days are coming to an end."
"What's there to be afraid of? Milord's reputation is still quite high." Cao Man blew on the steam from the tea and said casually, "For example, Killing Rakshasa Sect has arranged for some people to keep an eye on the outside of the headquarters. Aren't they protecting Milord?"
Miao Yi was startled. His expression changed slightly. Killing Rakshasa Sect had already started keeping an eye on him, but he didn't notice it at all? What were they trying to do? Did they really dare to mess around in the Celestial Court?
Glancing at Miao Yi's reaction, Cao Man smiled and said, "Don't tell me Milord doesn't know? Didn't Milord already go to Ksitigarbha Temple to meet Mei Ji? "
Miao Yi looked up. He didn't expect the other party to know even this. He had seen Silent Void's tight-lipped attitude before. He couldn't help but raise his teacup and smile bitterly. "Is there anything in this world that the Pavilion of Faith and Justice doesn't know?"
