Chapter 24: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 10

Moreover, in recent days, the Sanyi Sect's "traitor" Li Muxuan had caused such a commotion that it reached Zuo Ruotong's very doorstep, ultimately costing a life.

Thus, this Great Ying Immortal had some understanding of the Quanxing Sect's campaign against the Sanyi Sect.

Or rather, it was not the Quanxing Sect, but Li Muxuan himself targeting the Sanyi Sect.

At this moment, as Li Ang spoke, the hall fell into absolute silence.

After a long while, Zuo Ruotong spoke in a voice devoid of emotion: "I understand. Return now."

Hearing this, Li Ang said nothing more, merely bowed and withdrew.

Outside the hall, gazing at the star-strewn night sky, he silently thought: "I wonder what Master really thinks."

"Aren't my hints obvious enough?"

The Sanyi Sect had long been searching for Li Muxuan's whereabouts; Li Ang was now just one step short of outright declaring one of the Yun brothers was Li Muxuan in disguise.

Breathing the slightly chilly night wind, he walked back toward the disciples' dormitory.

The next morning.

After morning cultivation, Li Ang followed Lu Jin as usual for daily practice, but the simple standing posture now did nothing for him.

After instructing Wu Gensheng and the other to rest if they could no longer endure, Lu Jin walked up to him: "Li Shidi, stop standing."

"Just circulate qi."

Li Ang readily accepted the white-haired youth's suggestion.

If he were merely an ordinary person, standing posture might still have strengthened his physique.

But Li Ang's physical strength had already reached 1.9—he could no longer gain attributes from such simple activities.

He wasn't some bald demon king.

Just as Li Ang was about to circulate qi, a white-haired figure in a wide Daoist robe appeared before the group of brothers.

It was Zuo Ruotong.

Seeing their Master arrive, everyone straightened their postures: "Master."

Zuo Ruotong gave a slight nod in response, then walked to Wu Gensheng and the other, who were posing as the Yun brothers, and placed his right hand on Wu Gensheng's head.

Li Muxuan beside Wu Gensheng, upon seeing this, could not help but flash a look of envy and anticipation.

Only Li Ang knew this was likely his Master probing their true identities.

'Is Master about to act?'

Though different from his original plan of quietly eliminating Wu Gensheng and the other, it was still better than acting during the Transmission Ritual before so many eyes.

Moments later, Zuo Ruotong withdrew his hand and casually said: "Continue."

With that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Li Ang froze—events had not unfolded as he expected.

'Is Master not acting?'

But quickly, scenes from the original novel flashed through his mind.

In the original novel, Zuo Ruotong had indeed seen through Wu Gensheng and the other's identities, but he wished to convey certain words to Li Muxuan during the Transmission Ritual, so he chose not to expose them.

Of course, Wu Gensheng's later help in breaking through to Birth of the Third Layer was entirely beyond this Great Ying Immortal's expectations.

Thinking of this, Li Ang was overcome with a sense of helplessness.

He was still far too weak—even with his professional panel, even though he now replaced sleep with nightly qi circulation, time was still too short.

Too short for him to have grown strong enough.

Otherwise, Li Ang would have dealt with the two himself.

'Forget it. Since Master has made a decision, I must now consider what to do during the Transmission Ritual.'

With this thought, he closed his eyes.
