Chapter 68

In a small building in Ningcheng County, Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi had already received the news that the Lingjian Mountain disciples had withdrawn.

But she did not yet know whether the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, including him, had withdrawn.

At this time, the little Inspector was standing on the high building, looking at the immortal light surging for the third time in the distance, thinking about the previous communication with Zhuo Wanting.

【He said the Lingjian Mountain disciples want to save them】

【I don't know why, he showed mercy】

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi remained silent for a long time, looked around, and finding no one there, raised her hand to slowly pinch her cheeks, squinting her eyes slightly.

Soon, footsteps sounded downstairs, and the little Inspector quickly put down her hand, resuming her cold expression.

Turning her head to look, Zhuo Wanqiu had already walked upstairs quickly.

"Inspector."

"Mm, how did the matter go?"

Zhuo Wanqiu bowed and said: "The disciples of the Profound Jianfeng lineage have all withdrawn, but there are still disciples of the Heavenly Jianfeng lineage who did not obey the order."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi did not have any emotional fluctuations after hearing this, just nodded lightly, indicating that she already knew.

Since she took charge of the Spirit Mirror, the Profound Jianfeng had become the ruling lineage of Lingjian Mountain.

And the Heavenly Jianfeng, which had held the orthodoxy for hundreds of years, was naturally unconvinced.

The overflowing immortal fate in the ruins this time was an opportunity for them; even if some disciples were lost, they had to seize what they should seize.

This was perhaps also the reason why other immortal sects knew there were ghosts in the mountain but still wanted their disciples to go and die.

Because it was said that the immortal fate in that mountain was even more vast than the resonance of heaven and earth during ascension.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi withdrawing the disciples was a bit risky, because crisis and wealth always coexist; if the Heavenly Jianfeng really found an immortal fate that could change the orthodoxy, the Profound Jianfeng might decline because of this.

But she didn't want the disciples under her sect to die; she couldn't do such a thing.

She had been like this since she was a child; things she determined were hers, she had to protect well.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi turned her head to look at Zhuo Wanqiu: "What about the people from the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan?"

"Reporting to the Inspector, I have already gone to notify them; currently, the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples have withdrawn, but... Ji You is still in the mountain."

When Zhuo Wanqiu spoke, he quietly raised his eyes to observe the expression of his own Inspector, seemingly wanting to get some clues from it.

It shouldn't be what I'm thinking, right...

Their own little Inspector is the next Abbot of Lingjian Mountain, with a high status, and even other immortal sects dare not look down on her.

And Ji You is just an outer sect disciple of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, and it is said that he is a rural private practitioner, without even an aristocratic family behind him.

Originally, he had the opportunity to enter the inner sect after cultivating to the perfection of the Lower Three Realms, and maybe he could go further, but he encountered the stunning Chu family and was thrown here as an abandoned piece.

How could such two people produce something inexplicable?

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi did not know that Zhuo Wanqiu's psychological activity was so complex, and opened her mouth to say: "Why is he still in the mountain?"

"According to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, he seems to have gone into the mountain to save someone."

"Haven't all the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples come out? Who else does he want to save?"

Zhuo Wanqiu pursed her lips: "I don't know either, in short, they said he went to save someone."

Yan Shuyi looked at her, and after a long while, squinted her eyes: "Our Lingjian Mountain cultivates the sword Way, walking the path of being straightforward, but your sword heart seems to have some hesitation; Wanqiu, are you hiding something from me?"

"Inspector, please forgive me..."

Zhuo Wanqiu panicked and immediately knelt on the ground: "According to his fellow disciples, the person he wants to save is his own fiancée."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi was stunned upon hearing this: "He has a fiancée?"

"It is said... there is more than one."

"A mere perfection of the Lower Three Realms, yet his mind is quite cluttered; no wonder there was thick yellow smoke when I first saw him."

Zhuo Wanqiu looked up: "Inspector, what exactly is your relationship with him...?"

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi looked at the high mountain where immortal fate was surging with cold eyes: "Just a stranger I met by chance while traveling down the mountain, and only met once."

"So that's how it is."

Zhuo Wanqiu patted her chest, thinking to herself that it really was my misunderstanding: "Inspector, since the Profound Jianfeng disciples have already withdrawn, shall we set off back to the mountain?"

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi sat on the long chair and shook her head: "Wait."

"Is there still something to do? Inspector, please feel free to order your disciple."

"There is nothing to do, just waiting for the people inside to come out, to see what kind of situation can create such a big scene, to see if the Heavenly Jianfeng disciples can get what they want, and by the way, see what his fiancée looks like."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi leaned on the railing, speaking softly, and the feet that were swinging just now had already stopped.

When Zhuo Wanqiu heard the first few sentences, she still felt that the Inspector was indeed far-sighted.

Although she was unwilling to take risks, as the next Abbot of Lingjian Mountain, she had to see clearly what was behind this matter.

And whether the Heavenly Jianfeng could gain anything was related to the power of Lingjian Mountain, which were all very important matters.

But when she heard the last sentence, Zhuo Wanqiu froze in place.

The first two things were very important, but if the third thing could be placed side by side with these two, it meant that this matter was also particularly important in the Inspector's heart.

Oh no, I seem to have guessed right at the beginning, but now I've guessed wrong again.

Ji You, after all, had done her a favor, and she didn't want to see him have his head cut off as soon as he came out of the mountain.

"Inspector..."

"Mm?"

"If you see her... what will happen?"

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi was slightly stunned after hearing this question, feeling that her question was a bit strange.

Seeing the final situation and whether the Heavenly Jianfeng disciples had gained anything was naturally for the sake of future precautions.

As for seeing Ji You and his fiancée, that wouldn't be anything either, just satisfying some curiosity.

Seeing is seeing; anyway, it was just a whim, and the person I met once just happened to roast sweet potatoes quite well.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi hummed a local Lingzhou tune, thinking to herself that it's fine as long as he's not dead, what else could happen.

Zhuo Wanqiu stared at their little Inspector for a long time, and finally, after remaining silent, took her leave and went downstairs to wait.

At this time, Ding Yao and the others also rushed to Ningcheng County, came to the tavern where they were staying, and immediately wanted to go upstairs to pay their respects.

In fact, the reason Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi notified Zhuo Wanqiu and not her personal maid Ding Yao was because she knew her personal maid was related to the Dao-Seeking Sect.

She didn't want idle people to come and bother her.

But Ding Yao was not dead either; seeing Zhuo Wanqiu leave secretly, she concluded that the Inspector was here, so she followed secretly.

At this time, Zhuo Wanqiu happened to be going downstairs and bumped into them coming head-on.

"Junior sister Zhuo, where is the Inspector? I have something to report!"

"The Inspector is upstairs."

Zhuo Wanqiu added after finishing: "Senior sister Ding had better wait a while before going up to pay respects."

Ding Yao was just about to step upstairs, and upon hearing this, she looked at her: "Why is that?"

"I feel that the Inspector is not in a very good mood right now..."
