Shang Ke was chased away, stumbling as he ran out. When An Xiaolang saw that the multicolored clothed girl had chased him away, he turned around and asked, "You're letting him go just like that?"
The multicolored clothed girl said unhappily, "What else can I do? He's a Master Craftsman, and I can't search his memories. Even if I did, I'm afraid I wouldn't find anything. He's also been bewitched. "
The weight of a Master Craftsman was still quite heavy. Without sufficient evidence, she couldn't directly arrest him. Even if she convicted him, she couldn't use methods like searching his memories. Thus, she could only let him go now.
An Xiaolang didn't understand. "Can't you be bewitched as well?"
The multicolored clothed girl was startled by his words. She glanced at An Xiaolang and said, "You're quite open-minded. As expected of someone who almost became a Master Craftsman."
An Xiaolang looked at her suspiciously. He suspected that this paper doll was insulting him.
The multicolored clothed girl waved her hand and said, "Alright, I should go. When the people from the Tenki-in Hall come, you can explain yourself to them. That's right, I've dispelled the illusion technique on your two subordinates. Be careful when you come down. This group of people isn't simple. Perhaps they'll come after you. "
An Xiaolang said seriously, "Thank you, Senior Sister. However, they're not my subordinates. They're only in charge of protecting me. "
When the multicolored clothed girl heard this, she looked straight at him and said, "Alright. Be careful. "As she said this, a ray of light rose up from beneath her feet.
An Xiaolang said, "I'll have to ask Senior Sister to thank Martial Uncle for me."
The multicolored clothed girl turned into a gust of wind and left. She only left behind a sentence, "I'll help you pass it on."
She rode this gust of wind and directly flew back to Baizhen Mountain in the Spirit Mystery Realm. Her body lightly floated with the wind towards a pavilion. She passed through the door and into a room, landing in a copper basin and transforming into a talisman of a woman's drawing.
The figure drawn on the paper broke away from the talisman and flew up unsteadily. It landed on a young girl sitting cross-legged there. It could be seen that she had the same appearance as the multicolored clothed girl from before.
She opened her eyes and picked up the painting. With a swipe of her hand, the two cultivators from earlier appeared on the painting. She thought to herself, "This Glazed Jade Heavenly Palace's Wall Painting Technique is quite useful when paired with my White True Mountain's Void Seizing Technique."
She took the talisman and left her attic. Following the sound of a zither, she came to the Cloud Residence in the depths of the white clouds. She walked into a perfumed hall and bowed to Nie Xinying, who was sitting behind the table, and said, "Senior Sister, it's done."
On the table in front of Nie Xinying was a map of Yujing. Apart from the original Shangtai, the other two families, and a few secret locations, most of the other territories were under her supervision.
The Baizhen Mountain branch was the most powerful of the three Yujing families. After she took over the secular affairs, they became even more powerful.
Blazing Sun Peak's lineage hadn't been stationed in Jade Capital for long. Even though there were some talents under Jade Sailing Daoist's lineage, most of them believed that the less trouble there was, the better. They would turn a blind eye to their actions. Among the younger generation of the Glazed Jade Heavenly Palace, Meng Yingzhen was the most outstanding. However, she was more gentle and rarely offended people.
Nie Xinying, on the other hand, never liked people who were repeat offenders. If others did not dare to interfere, she would interfere. If others were not willing to interfere, she would interfere. Therefore, in the past few years, she was mainly in charge of the surveillance. She also often cooperated with the Tenki-in Hall in Jikong's Upper Continent to arrest people.
She raised her head and said, "Have you brought them back?"
The woman in colorful clothes said, "Yes." She took out the talisman paper and gently brushed it over. With a flash of light, the figures of the two cultivators fell from the ground, unconscious.
Nie Xinying glanced at them and said, "These two were also bewitched by the mystical technique."
"Ah? They were also bewitched by the technique? "
The woman in colorful clothes widened her eyes and looked at the two. For a moment, she did not know what to say. Were they playing around here? The person behind this was too good at using tricks.
She felt very unhappy and said, "Then we can't punish these two?"
Nie Xinying said, "We can't punish them for this crime, but we can punish them for other crimes. Both of them are cultivators who aren't recorded in the records. "
The woman in colorful clothes reacted. "That's right, Loose Cultivators!"
"Loose Cultivators" was an old name. In fact, they were a group of cultivators who cultivated Dao but did not want to stay in Tianxia. They also did not want to serve Tianxia. They wandered around the borders of Tianxia or simply left.
According to Tianxia's rules, if you did not want to serve, you could leave. No one would force you. However, you could not participate in any activities that harmed Tianxia. As long as you were involved, regardless of whether you were used or for other reasons, you would be punished. Therefore, this person alone could be punished.
However, the goal was not to punish these two, but to find out who was behind this. These two did not have any records and could not go to many places. If it was not for someone cooperating, how could they enter Yujing without any records? How could they enter an important place like the Tenki-in Hall?
Nie Xinying said indifferently, "Yujing is too big. The various powers intersect and come into contact with each other. It's not strange that there are some filthy people hiding in the cracks. It's time to clean up. Especially the Tenki-in Hall. It seems that some people have been sneaking in recently. Since there are cultivators who have been bewitched in the Tenki-in Hall, we can use this as an excuse to investigate them. "
The woman in colorful clothes said excitedly, "Yes, we should investigate them. The Tenki-in Hall even tricked Junior Apprentice-Brother An. If it was not for Senior Apprentice-Sister's care, wouldn't Martial Nephew An have been harmed? Why don't we get Martial Nephew An out?"
Nie Xinying shook her head. "I won't interfere. Martial Nephew An will be fine. If we leave Martial Nephew An there, the person who has been watching him will eventually reveal some clues."
The woman in colorful clothes widened her eyes. "Senior Apprentice-Sister, is it really okay to use Martial Nephew An like this? What if … "
Nie Xinying looked at her and said, "You're talking nonsense again. There are no 'what if's. Even if I don't interfere, do you think his teacher won't have any tricks up his sleeve? I'm only helping Martial Nephew An in passing. Investigating the Tenki-in Hall's internal affairs is what we should be doing now. "
The woman in colorful clothes thought for a moment and said, "Then Senior Apprentice-Sister, how should we investigate the Tenki-in Hall? I've long disliked them. All of them have their eyes on the top of their heads. It's as if all the good things are done by them. It's as if we cultivators are oppressing them. Why don't they think about it? Without us cultivators, would they be able to live peacefully until now? "
Nie Xinying said, "The Tenki-in Hall has made great contributions. At least in terms of the people's livelihood, they've done much more than us."
The woman in colorful clothes said unhappily, "Hey, Senior Apprentice-Sister, whose side are you on?"
Nie Xinying said indifferently, "We can't deny the truth. The Tenki-in Hall has done a lot and made a lot of mistakes. What we need to do is to help correct their mistakes."
The woman in colorful clothes said, "Senior Apprentice-Sister, you've said all the good things. No wonder Teacher only values you among all the disciples. I'm jealous."
At this time, Nie Xinying took a scroll and flipped through the background of the two rogue cultivators. She said without raising her head, "If someone is jealous of you, then it means you're doing the right thing. Is there anyone who's jealous of you?"
The woman in colorful clothes rolled her eyes and said, "Senior Apprentice-Sister, you're really blunt." At this time, she rolled her eyes and sneakily said, "Senior Apprentice-Sister, tell me the truth. Is Teacher going there …" She pointed upwards and said with shining eyes, "to be a court administrator?"
Nie Xinying frowned and said, "Where did you hear this from?"
The woman in colorful clothes spat and said, "Is there a need to hear it? There are thirteen continents and four prefectures. Which one of them has a higher cultivation than Teacher and made more contributions? If we're going to choose a court administrator, who else can we choose but Teacher? "She looked up and said with yearning," When a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven … "
Nie Xinying interrupted her daydream and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Back to the Tenki-in Hall, Martial Nephew An is there. As long as those who have designs on him are still there, they won't let him go so easily. We'll keep an eye on him, there should be some clues. And that Shang Ke, you should also keep a close eye on him."
The woman in colorful clothes said, "But Senior Apprentice-Sister, isn't it too passive to just wait for others to make a move?"
Nie Xinying said, "I'll go see Wei Shan personally. Shang Ke is his disciple. With his cooperation, things will go much smoother."
The woman in colorful clothes said doubtfully, "Can Wei Shan be trusted?"
Nie Xinying said, "Wei Shan is a grandmaster, just like Yuan Shangtai and the others. He has the protection of Xuanting. If he doesn't want to, no one can do anything to him. He can still be trusted." She paused and said, "You go and do what I told you to do. I'll arrange the rest."
"Okay, Senior Apprentice-Sister, I'll do it right away." The woman in colorful clothes stopped joking. Her expression was solemn. After a bow, she turned into a gust of Qi and left.
On the other side, Shang Ke returned to his residence in a state of shock. But even now, he was still in a daze. He didn't know what had happened today.
He sat for a while and was about to get up and wipe his face to clear his head. Suddenly, he looked up and saw the silver-robed elder standing there. He was shocked, then delighted, and said, "Sir, why are you here?"
The silver-robed elder pointed at him.
Shang Ke was slightly dazed. Countless memories that he had lost seemed to surface from the bottom of the water. Then, cold sweat broke out on his back.
This time, his mind was confused. This wasn't his idea, but the two Daoist cultivators who took the initiative to do so. It was to prevent him from being captured in one fell swoop if they didn't succeed. It was fine when he didn't know, but now that he knew, he couldn't help but panic. This was because he wasn't sure if the people from Baizhen Mountain would come looking for him again.
The silver-robed elder said in a deep voice, "You don't have to be afraid. Baizhen Mountain didn't catch you just now, which means they don't have evidence to punish you. With your identity as a master craftsman, what are you afraid of? I'll help you erase any mistakes. Besides, you were confused and didn't know about this in advance, right?"
Shang Ke said, "Yes, yes, I didn't do it. What am I afraid of?" After comforting himself, he said regretfully, "It's just that Little An has people protecting him. It seems like I won't be able to get these things."
The silver-robed elder said, "You don't have to worry about this. As long as he's still in Yujing, we still have a chance without the protection of the upper class."
Shang Ke said, "We asked him to come in Guo Ying's name. I'm afraid he'll leave in a few days."
The silver-robed elder said, "If Guo Ying doesn't see him, he won't leave. I'll arrange things here. You just do your own things and try not to show your face. When I need you, I'll come look for you. "
Shang Ke said gratefully, "Yes, thank you for your consideration." But at this moment, when he was saying these words, if there was another person beside him, they could see that he was still talking to himself.
