Chapter 385 Yi Xuan and his recent activities
"I am Yi Xuan, the thirteenth generation sect leader of Yun Kui Mountain. May I ask who this young lady is?"
"Hello, I'm Xiaoshi's friend. You can just call me Morning Star."
Kiana stepped forward and extended her right hand to shake hands with Yi Xuan in a friendly manner. Yi Xuan keenly sensed that the green-haired woman who was greeting him had a huge amount of etheric energy within her.
For a fleeting moment, Yi Xuan almost mistook her for Kiana Kaslana, who had now disappeared, but she quickly dismissed the thought.
Her hair color was fine, but she had never heard of a way to change her entire appearance in a short period of time.
With some doubt, Yi Xuan also extended his hand and shook hands with the woman who claimed to be a friend of the Immortal of Talisman Knowledge.
Yes, an immortal. As the sect leader of Yunkui Mountain, Yi Xuan naturally knew that the Crimson Kite Immortal of Foyun Temple was real. However, that one was now working in the Public Security Bureau, while the one in front of him was a magical artifact that the Crimson Kite Immortal had once used, which had come to life.
Since it is a celestial spirit transformed from a celestial artifact and possesses all the skills of a celestial being, it can naturally be called a celestial being.
Moreover, the techniques of Yun Kui Mountain were originally taught by the Immortal Chi Yuan, and even that is an exaggeration. The first sect leader was just an ordinary cultivator who happened to encounter the immortal while passing through Wei Fei Land and received a few pointers from him.
Even a few words of guidance are enough to greatly benefit a cultivator and enable them to establish their own sect. This is why that senior came here to establish a Taoist temple.
Firstly, he wanted to repay the immortals for their kindness to Yunkui Mountain; secondly, he wanted to try and see if he could grant Yunkui Mountain another chance to be blessed by the immortals.
However, considering that Yi Xuan has now become friends with Fu Hua, the Herrscher of Knowledge, and the Book of Azure, she has certainly made many connections with the immortals.
Yi Xuan then noticed a large amount of ingredients in the hands of Pan Yinhu and Ju Fufu. After asking them, Yi Xuan learned that Pan Yinhu had invited the Herrscher of Knowledge and the others to have lunch at Suibian Temple. In other words, they were having a big meal at noon today!
Hearing this, Yi Xuan's mood improved considerably. After all, since Pan Yinhu had taken full charge of Yun Kui Mountain's finances, even her food expenses had been strictly controlled, making it impossible for Yi Xuan to have lavish meals every day.
Of course, if Yi Xuan were willing to go out and earn extra money, he could afford these conditions.
The premise was that Yi Xuan was willing to earn extra money. In fact, just handling the tasks issued by the mayor and other high-level officials took up a lot of Yi Xuan's energy, and most of the rewards he received were used to operate Yun Kui Mountain.
Moreover, once divination is set up in one place, it becomes troublesome. As the saying goes, spilled water cannot be gathered up again. Even without the identity of the sect leader, as long as Yi Xuan reveals his identity as a cultivator from Yun Kui Mountain, people will flock to him for divination.
To be honest, Yi Xuan didn't want to be trapped there by a group of people asking for divination and fortune telling. It was too much trouble! He would rather spend that time reading books and increasing his knowledge.
So when Yi Xuan heard about the big meal, he couldn't help but be tempted. Moreover, the atmosphere would be different with more people. In addition, with the Law Enforcer and the Book of Cangxuan present, Yi Xuan could easily entrust his disciples with their questions to them for help, right?
You should know that the opportunity to receive guidance from an immortal is not very common; even Yi Xuan himself has not received guidance many times.
However, when it comes to the Book of Azure Mystery, Yi Xuan also recalled its origins. According to the Crimson Crow Immortal, who is Fu Hua herself, the Book of Azure Mystery was a magical artifact created by her two friends before they left this world. It was used to accompany and take care of Fu Hua's daily life. In modern terms, it was a highly intelligent butler robot.
"Speaking of which, where is Master Xiao Xuan?" Yi Xuan asked.
"You mean her? She's probably still having morning tea at Yinchaxian right now."
The Lawbringer waved his hand and continued, "I don't know what's so special about this morning tea that makes her sit there for an entire morning."
"After all, we're getting older and not as lively and energetic as you are anymore."
The one who spoke was Cang Xuanzhi, who had packed up the food she hadn't finished eating. She went up to Ju Fufu and handed the food she had packed to Ju Fufu.
"Fu Fu, it must have been hard work for you disciples to clean up this temple. There's still some time before lunch, and I don't have anything good here, so I'll give you these packed meals. Quickly call your junior brothers and sisters over and share them, just to fill your stomachs."
Originally, Ju Fufu wanted to reach out and take it directly, but with a lot of ingredients in her hands, she couldn't free her hands to take it. In the end, Ye Shiyuan, who came out from inside, took the food from Cangxuan Zhishu's hands.
After thanking them, Ye Shiyuan took the food inside. The hot char siu bao and xiao long bao were filling, but there weren't enough to go around when there were many people.
However, this also made everyone look forward to the lunch feast even more. Yi Xuan saw that it was not good to just stand at the gate, so he invited everyone to go inside and talk.
Inside the main hall of the temple, Yi Xuan invited the three to sit down. Soon after, Ju Fufu brought tea and filled their cups before leaving.
"Speaking of which, what made you decide to move back to Suibian Temple?" Cangxuan asked curiously.
Cang Xuanzhi picked up the tea in front of him, blew on it lightly, and then took a sip. A refreshing fragrance wafted over him, and he sighed inwardly at how good the tea was.
Yi Xuan seemed to have anticipated this question, and then sighed softly as she began to explain.
It turns out that the whole thing started with the hollow disaster in Port Epsilon. The expansion of the hollow reminded many citizens of that incident. Although it has been resolved by the Anti-Air Section 6 and its members, the subsequent developments are somewhat intriguing.
Blinger, the mastermind behind it all, was killed on the spot, and the police department was subsequently affected, its reputation greatly diminished. Up to this point, everything was still within expectations, but then, with the announcement of Kiana's departure from HAND headquarters, the whole thing started to go wrong.
Some say that Kiana was seriously injured in the operation and could no longer fight on the front lines, which is why she chose to leave.
However, some people say that they did not see Kiana in the team at the time, and it is very likely that Kiana was one of the culprits who caused the incident. That's why she was fired by the HAND headquarters after the truth was found out. Resignation is just a polite way of saying it.
Immediately, some people objected, after all, Kiana is a member of the Kaslana family, how could she do such a heinous thing?
In short, various rumors circulated online, but even so, the higher-ups still did not come forward to give an explanation, only repeatedly emphasizing that Kiana had simply resigned normally.
But now no one believes this claim, after all, not long ago there was the case of Bollinger, a corrupt official in the high ranks of the sheriff's office, and now citizens are skeptical of every word that politicians say.
To prove that Kiana resigned normally, she herself must come forward and explain.
But now Kiana has disappeared, so let alone asking her to clarify those rumors, those politicians don't even know where she is.
However, there are rumors that Kiana has appeared in Weifei, so the mayor specifically asked Yixuan to keep an eye out and see if the news is true.
Anyway, recently, because the Lemnian Void has been acting strangely, the mayor asked Yi Xuan to keep a close eye on the situation here. Also, because someone often tricks them, TOPS's Huijing Meike had to ask Yun Kuishan for help.
They were the ones who forced Yun Kui Shan to withdraw from Wei Fei Di in the past, but now, for various reasons, they have to personally invite Yun Kui Shan back.
At this point, Yi Xuan glanced subtly at the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was currently playing with the tea set, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
After all, whenever Yi Xuan recalled the expression on the face of the Huijing Meike employee who was responsible for contacting him, he couldn't help but laugh. This feeling of fortunes changing every thirty years was just too satisfying.
"Just say it, why are you looking at me?"
It was obvious that the Herald of Knowledge noticed that Yi Xuan was looking at him, so he put down the tea set in his hand and glared at Yi Xuan in displeasure.
Yi Xuan simply smiled and continued speaking.
In short, such opportunities are rare, so Yi Xuan used this opportunity to formally return Yun Kui Mountain to Wei Fei. Although Damian was dissatisfied with this, it was at least much cheaper than the cost of hiring a Herald of Knowledge.
"...That's how it is. In a way, it seems we've become business rivals."
"That's it?" the Herald of Knowledge said. "If you want to take on the residents' requests, go ahead, I don't care. If they don't let you take them, just say I told you to."
"…ah?"
Yi Xuan looked at the Herald of Knowledge with great confusion. She never expected the Herald of Knowledge to be so open-minded. Then the Book of Azure Profound answered her question.
"After all, the reason we took the commission in the first place was not only because we couldn't stand seeing them suffer, but also because we wanted to earn some money so we wouldn't starve to death."
Now that Xiaoshi has become a livestreamer, her basic needs are met, and all that's left is to fulfill our own good intentions. Therefore, we don't care that you're competing with us for residents' entrustment; on the contrary, we feel more at ease with you around. After all, it's impossible for just the two of us to be able to attend to every single detail.
"senior…"
Yi Xuan shook her head with a wry smile. She understood that Cang Xuan Zhi Zhi's words were merely meant to ease her and her disciples' psychological burdens. She also knew that the Herrscher of Knowledge had become a livestreamer; after all, the Herrscher of Knowledge was a celebrity in Wei Fei, and whatever she did couldn't be kept secret from the residents. Of course, she had watched all of the Herrscher of Knowledge's livestreams, without missing a single one.
Although the Herrscher of Knowledge was originally supposed to be a virtual streamer, she simply didn't have any sense of confidentiality regarding this.
Getting back to the main point, the Yun Kui Shan team's return has two objectives: one is to figure out why the Lemnian Void suddenly became active, and the other is to find clues related to Kiana. Yi Xuan also hopes that the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Book of Azure can help keep an eye out for information in this area, as she knows that these two actually know Kiana.
It's even possible that Kiana was hidden away by the two of them; the Herrscher of Knowledge felt a little guilty under Yi Xuan's interrogative gaze.
Turning around, she whistled and promised to keep an eye out, then ran outside as if fleeing to give Ju Fufu some special treatment.
Seeing the Lawyer's reaction, Yi Xuan understood what was going on, but due to the other party's status, Yi Xuan couldn't say much. He could only carefully hint to the composed Cang Xuan Zhi Shu beside him.
However, Cangxuan's Book is not like the Law of Knowledge, who cannot hide his thoughts. Although he may cause a bit of trouble at times, he usually shows his reliable side as an elder.
In response to Yi Xuan's hints, Cang Xuan Zhi Shu maintained an attitude of complete ignorance, unawareness, and urging others not to come looking for him, clearly trying to cover up his misunderstanding.
But Yi Xuan could tell that the two of them definitely knew something, but they just wouldn't say it.
Yi Xuan shook his head helplessly. Although he couldn't get anything out of her, he could at least confirm that Kiana herself might indeed be in Weifei, at least for now.
Moreover, Ju Fufu also received guidance from the immortal, which was definitely a good deal. Looking at Ju Fufu's blank expression outside the door, Yi Xuan smiled bitterly, and then slowly sipped tea with Cang Xuan Zhi Shu.
As for Kiana, after realizing that there was nothing for her to do, she made an excuse and left the main hall.
Kiana is currently chatting on the phone with the captain in some random corner, and the sweet words she utters cause the occasional Yunkui Mountain disciple who happens to pass by to shiver involuntarily.
However, since it was someone else's private conversation, they felt embarrassed to stand there and listen, so they lowered their heads and quickly left.
Little did they know that those sweet words were actually spoken by Kiana specifically for them to hear. When no one was around, Kiana was actually checking in with the captain to see what was going on his side.
In general, a new void has recently appeared. It is probably due to the influence of the previous Epsilon Void incident. The strength of this new void is not low, and the Anti-Air Section 6 can be said to have mobilized all its members.
This led to a shortage of rope craftsmen, so Hoshimi Miyabi suggested that Phaethon serve as the rope craftsman for her team.
After investigation, it was found that Tetsuya and Rei met Hoshimi Miyako, who was also there to remember her relatives, at the memorial. After revealing their identities and purposes, the three of them developed a deep relationship.
After all, Hoshimi Miya gave her most cherished hair ornament to the brother and sister. Moreover, it is said that Hoshimi Miya noticed Ies as soon as he entered the void, and then Hoshimi Miya left the group at an astonishing speed to pick up Tetsuya, who had synchronized with Iesya.
It's hard to say that Hoshimi Miyako didn't have other feelings for Tetsuya. What's even more intriguing is that Rei and Hoshimi Miyako bumped into each other on the street one day, and then Rei suddenly said that Hoshimi Miyako was already engaged to Tetsuya.
Hoshimi Miyabi herself did not refute this on the spot, nor did Hoshimi Miyabi's father, Hoshimi Soichiro, the head of the Hoshimi family, react in any way.
It's as if he tacitly approved of the possibility that Hoshimi Miyabi and Tetsuya might have feelings that go beyond friendship. However, considering that Hoshimi Souichirou himself dotes on Hoshimi Miyabi and has even publicly declared that he would not interfere with his daughter's marriage, this is not entirely unreasonable.
There were many other things that could not be discussed for long on the phone, so they had to be left for another time.
However, should we go back and investigate the new void? We're also concerned about the situation on Wei Feidi's side.
Kiana began to struggle with her decision.
