Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

"Does the Immortal Venerable have a way to find Cheng Junze?"

Elder Zhan's eyes brightened a little.

If Immortal Venerable Wen Yu had a solution, this matter would be much easier to handle.

"Of course, I once left my spiritual power on him."

Lin Wenyu found something that looked like a conch from the space.

After inputting her spiritual power, the shell lit up and a ray of spiritual power floated out of it, pointing to the west.

Lin Wenyu handed the conch to Dusheng.

"Follow the direction guided by the spiritual power, and you will be able to find where Cheng Junze is."

Du Sheng handed the conch to Elder Ji who was standing beside him.

"This is a serious matter, so let Elder Ji handle it.

After finding their traces, bring them secretly to Xuanling Sect."

The latter sentence was directed to Elder Ji.

Elder Ji took the conch very solemnly.

"Fulfilling the mission."

Elder Zhan looked at Elder Ji and snorted coldly.

"Old man Ji, can you do this?

Don't sacrifice your old bones."

As he spoke, he threw a few paper bags to Elder Ji.

"If you really can't do it, just tell me.

It’s not impossible for me to prepare some poison for you.

You must not lose face like this."

"Hey! Who do you look down on, old man?"

After listening to what Elder Zhan said, Elder Ji stood up angrily and threw the paper bag back.

"Do I still need those poison-breaking tools of yours?

My pills are much more useful than yours."

The two looked like they were about to quarrel again.

Du Sheng coughed twice.

Elder Wen, who was originally sitting aside, stood up at this time.

“Master, now that everything is settled, there are still important matters to be dealt with in the underground palace.

The head of the sect, Immortal Master Wen Yu.

I will take my leave now."

After hearing Elder Wen's words, Elder Zhan and Elder Ji, who were about to quarrel, stopped fighting and said goodbye to Dusheng and Lin Wenyu.

Du Sheng nodded.

The three of them left Hede Hall together.

But before the door of Hede Hall closed, one could still see Elder Zhan and Elder Ji arguing with each other as they left.

Du Sheng looked at the backs of the two elders arguing with each other and sighed helplessly.

"These two are really..."

They are clearly concerned about each other, but why do these words sound so different when they come out of their mouths?

Du Sheng shifted his gaze to Lin Wenyu, who was frowning and saying nothing.

"Uncle Junior Master, what do you think?"

"Hmm?" Lin Wenyu pulled herself out of her thoughts, "Are you asking about the two elders, or..."

"Of course it's about Cheng Anshi."

Du Sheng's eyes flickered slightly.

"It's pretty much what you thought."

Lin Wenyu sighed and asked.

"Can these three be trusted?"

Du Sheng slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Well, I've observed for a long time. These three have no connection with the recent events. They can be trusted."

"It seems you already have a target of suspicion."

Lin Wenyu looked at Du Sheng's appearance and didn't ask any further questions.

She used to practice in seclusion, and only came out in recent years.

Naturally, she didn't know as much about the affairs of the Xuanling Sect as Du Sheng did, so Lin Wenyu felt relieved to leave this matter to Du Sheng.

Lin Wenyu then brought up another matter.

"What do you think about Cheng Anshi's matter?"

Du Sheng put the teacup back in its place, gathered his sleeves, and twisted his fingers unconsciously.

This was a subconscious action when he was lost in his memories.

“Although Cheng Anshi is an old friend of Master, I have only met him a few times.

Every time Cheng Anshi came to Xuanling Sect, he seemed to come quietly.

The two of them usually went directly to the back mountain of Xuanling Sect to drink and chat.

I only met Cheng Anshi a few times when I went to deliver wine to my master.

but……"

At this point, Du Sheng looked thoughtful, as if he was recalling what he had seen at that time.

“However, when Cheng Anshi came to Xuanling Sect for the last time, he and his master seemed to have had an argument.

When I arrived, I only heard the master say to Cheng Anshi, "If you insist on doing this, I will have to collect your body soon."

I didn't take it seriously at the time.

Just think of it as angry words spoken between two people during an argument.

But when I think back on this sentence now, I find it somewhat unusual.

But... we have no way to verify it now."

When Du Sheng mentioned this, there were a myriad of emotions in his eyes.

Now Cheng Anshi's whereabouts are unknown, and Master...

Lin Wenyu understood the implication of Du Sheng's words, and fell silent when she thought of her senior brother.

For a moment, there was silence in the Hede Hall.

There was only the sound of Du Sheng adding more tea.

"By the way, does Junior Master know that Wang Fengming has been to Xuanling Sect?"

Du Sheng changed the subject to ease the overly dull atmosphere.

"Wang Fengming? What is she doing in Xuanling Sect?"

When Lin Wenyu heard Du Sheng mention Wang Fengming, her originally casual look disappeared.

"Don't worry, Junior Master.

I sent someone to follow her.

She didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

I just... handed a paper bag to the disciple who shared the same room with Li Qingwu."

The corners of Du Sheng's mouth rose slightly.

The disciples arranged in the open are just a cover.

The disciples he sent out secretly were the ones he actually sent out to monitor Wang Fengming.

“After Wang Fengming left, I sent Huo Zicheng to quietly retrieve the paper bag.

Got a replacement.”

Lin Wenyu silently mourned for the top tool man Huo Zicheng for three seconds, then asked.

"What's in that paper bag?"

"A very low-level medicinal powder that inhibits spiritual energy from entering the tendons and veins."

When mentioning this Du Sheng, there was a hint of speechlessness on his face.

As soon as he got it, he knew what the powder was.

But because the commotion Wang Fengming caused last time was too big.

Just in case there's something else in there.

He even took the powder to see Elder Zhan.

At that time, Elder Zhan looked at Du Sheng who was coming over with a paper bag in his hand with a serious face.

I thought there was something dangerous inside.
