Chu Li smiled. "Is he holding a grudge just because I didn't remind him?"
"Almsgiver Jing Ang is not a broad-minded person. He achieved success at a young age and naturally thinks that the world should revolve around him. Everyone should help him," Ding Shi said.
Chu Li smiled and looked at Ding Shi in admiration.
This Second Senior Brother was able to see through people's hearts. Jing Ang was indeed like that.
However, the good thing was that Jing Ang was not a bad person. It was just that his character was not likable due to his success at a young age. He was strong and overbearing, but he could also be tough and soft. He was able to let go of his identity and was very likable in front of the seniors.
This kind of person was not easy to deal with. Moreover, his cultivation level was high and could not be crushed by martial arts.
He could feel Jing Ang's concern for Xiao Qi. Fortunately, this concern was not romantic. It was just a senior brother taking care of his junior sister. He felt that he was not good enough for Xiao Qi, so he felt wronged for her.
"This time, the traitor incident is very troublesome." Ding Jian put down his teacup and said seriously, "It made everyone feel insecure. The last time Huang Jishi impersonated the governor, there was an even stricter investigation. However, right after the investigation, this incident happened again. Everyone's face is swollen from the slap!"
Chu Li said, "It's impossible to guard against it. The islands on the sea have infiltrated Sea Garrison Town too much."
"Third Junior Brother, you do it." Ding Jian said, "The previous two investigations were led by Five Thunder Peak. They are experts in disguise and are best at finding traitors. Now, it seems like they can't do it."
Ding Shi said, "Eldest Senior Brother, can Third Junior Brother do it?"
"What disguise can hide from the Eye of Insight?" Ding Jian scoffed. "If we don't get rid of these rats and make everyone anxious, Sea Garrison Town of Tai Dong won't need to be attacked by the sea. The internal structure will collapse on its own!"
"Sigh …" Ding Shi sighed and nodded in agreement.
Chu Li nodded without hesitation. "Alright, I'll do it."
Seeing him accept it so readily, Ding Jian was a little hesitant. "What about the karma …"
Chu Li said, "Negative karma is not that easy to generate. Without reversing life and death, the negative karma is limited. I can handle it!"
"Can you really handle it?" Ding Jian asked.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Ding Shi said, "Third Junior Apprentice-Brother, you mustn't force yourself. Your health is more important. The situation in Oceanfront City is complicated and involves many sects. It's not just a matter between us and the Five Thunder Peak. There's also the Vital Energy Hall, the War God Temple, the Golden Spear Sect, and the Heart's Spirit Sect. It's just that our two sects are the main ones and the others are just assistants."
Chu Li asked, "Logically speaking, the other sects aren't that bad, right? Why are we the main ones?"
Ding Shi said, "Of the four major Zhenhai cities, our Great Mercy's Temple is in charge of Tai Dong, the rest are also auxiliary."
Chu Li had a sudden realization.
It turned out that the sphere of influence and also the area of responsibility had already been delineated. The Great Mercy Temple and the Five Thunder Peak were the main forces in Sea Suppressing Tai Dong City. If there were any problems, these two sects would be the ones to solve the problem. The masters of the other sects were only there to help.
"Alright, then let's clean up the entire Sea Garrison Town!" Chu Li puffed out his chest and smiled proudly.
When it came to the ability to identify spies, he believed that no one could compare to him. This was his old profession. Back when he was in the Glory's Will Courtyard, he was later in the Secret Guardians Hall, both of which allowed him to reach the pinnacle. It was the same here.
With the Omniscient Mirror and the Eye of the Sky combined, no one could hide from him!
"There's no hurry, let's go see Almsgiver Jing first," Ding Jian said hurriedly.
Chu Li smiled.
The three of them came to a courtyard and were brought into the bedroom by a master from the Five Thunder Peak. There, they saw Jing Ang lying on the bed with a pale face.
Chu Li followed behind Ding Jian and Ding Shi, trying his best to reduce his presence. However, Jing Ang's gaze immediately fell on him and he sneered. "Master Ding Ru, you're here to watch the show, aren't you?"
Chu Li pressed his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha.
"Alright, Junior Nephew!" He Jin helped Chu Li out of the predicament and said gently, "The Eye of the Sky can't be used at will."
"He must've seen it, but he didn't tell me!" Jing Ang was unconvinced.
Chu Li smiled. "A monk doesn't lie. I did see what happened to Almsgiver Jing, but it wasn't life-threatening, so it's not a big deal. Instead, it alerted everyone, which is a good thing. If I had warned you in advance, it would've been bad."
"Hmm, that's true." He Jin nodded. "If you had told us in advance, we wouldn't have been determined to investigate the traitor again!"
Great East Sea Garrison Town had already been shaken by several investigations. If they investigated again, it would inevitably provoke public anger, so they wouldn't easily start an investigation again. However, the assassination this time gave them an excuse.
However, this was already the last time, and they were probably at their limit. If they couldn't get the traitor out this time, the major sects would lose all their face. It would also cause the residents of Sea Garrison Town to lose confidence, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
He Jin looked at Ding Jian.
Ding Jian said slowly, "Senior He, let Third Junior Brother be the person in charge this time!"
"Good!" He Jin clapped his hands and praised, "Master Ding Ru, thank you!"
Chu Li pressed his palms together.
Jing Ang hurriedly said, "Master's Junior He!"
He Jin looked at Jing Ang.
Jing Ang struggled to prop himself up and sat up. He said seriously, "I feel that this matter is of great importance. It concerns the reputation of our major sects, so we have to be careful!"
"Then do you have a good candidate in mind?" He Jin asked.
Jing Ang said, "Junior Brother Qin is worthy of a great responsibility."
He Jin frowned.
Jing Ang hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Qin has already cultivated the Dongxuan Scripture. His eyes can see through the darkness, and no one can hide from him. If he comes out to help, he will definitely be able to clean up Great East Sea Garrison Town!"
"Dongxuan Scripture?" Ding Jian was shocked. "There's really someone who has cultivated the Dongxuan Scripture?"
"Junior Brother Qin is a genius, far better than me," Jing Ang said.
His face was filled with pride and admiration as he praised, "It's a genius that only appears once in ten thousand years!"
"Then where is he now?" Ding Jian asked.
Jing Ang said, "Junior Brother Qin has no interest in worldly affairs. He is focused on cultivation and pursuing the ultimate path. As long as Master's Junior He sends a letter, he will come. By then, none of the traitors in Sea Garrison Town will be able to escape!"
"That's great!" Ding Jian quickly nodded. "Then let's invite Almsgiver Qin!"
He Jin frowned and glared at Jing Ang.
Jing Ang pretended not to see. "Master Ding Ru can also participate. Let's compete and see who is better."
Chu Li broke into laughter and shook his head. "There's no need to compete. I'm willing to lose."
"As expected of a monk, you have no desire for fame and fortune." Jing Ang nodded and pretended to be impressed. "If that's the case, then let's invite Junior Brother Qin."
Ding Shi took a deep breath and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled and pressed his palms together. He lowered his eyebrows and did not speak.
Ding Jian said, "Alright, then we'll leave it to Almsgiver Qin. Senior He, we'll wait for the good news!"
He Jin scoffed. "Alright."
He glared at Jing Ang.
After Chu Li and Ding Shi left, He Jin stared at Jing Ang and said, "You … you only know how to cause trouble!"
"Master's Junior He, let Junior Brother Qin come. We can trust him. As for the Great Mercy Temple …" He shook his head.
He Jin said, "Even if Qin Xiao comes, he might not be able to defeat Master Ding Ru. You're just messing around. This matter is of great importance. You can't be impulsive!"
