"He's gone again."
Kou Beiyue shrugged and said, "That guy is mysterious. I'm not familiar with him. Last time I was eating pickled cabbage instant noodles in front of the convenience store, he suddenly came to me and said he wanted to take me back north..."
Zhang Yuanqing listened to his endless chatter about how he met the Devil's Eye Heavenly King, and suddenly realized that this cool-looking teenager was actually a chatterbox.
After listening, Zhang Yuanqing commented, "You really have courage."
Kou Beiyue heard this, raised his chin, and concealed his pride: "I know he's strong, probably a Saint-level Temptation Demon, but my belief is that the strong can make me afraid, but they can't make me submit."
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at him: "I was referring to your courage in eating pickled cabbage noodles. I suggest you buy a tube of Daktarin ointment to apply."
The proud expression on Kou Beiyue's face froze.
Zhang Yuanqing then asked, "We were interrupted by that guy just now. Let's continue. After you became a Temptation Demon, you should have investigated the person who killed your sister, right? Tell me about it in detail."
The hatred on Kou Beiyue's face resurfaced:
"That beast is called Chi Yuean, a deacon in the Shakou District, a level 4 Fire Master. I heard he was arranged in the Five Elements Alliance by the Zhu family, one of the three families of life. He was originally a Zhu family...
...son-in-law, then divorced and joined the Five Elements Alliance."
Zhang Yuanqing listened silently, gaining a preliminary understanding of the deacon he had just fought. Kou Beiyue didn't continue speaking.
"And then?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
"What then?" the rebellious teenager retorted.
"Why did he kill your sister? Judging from your sister's state before she died, she was obviously imprisoned, abused, and sexually assaulted. For a high-ranking deacon, it's not very reasonable. I can't think of a low-down reason for him to do that. What exactly happened to your sister before she disappeared, and where was she imprisoned after she disappeared? Did you investigate any of this?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
Kou Beiyue shook his head.
Zhang Yuanqing was incredulous: "In two years, you only found out Chi Yuean's identity and background?" Kou Beiyue noticed the other's strange gaze and explained unhappily:
"I'm not an official member, so I lack channels for investigation, and I haven't written about these ins and outs. I'm better at fighting. Also, Temptation Demons lack skills in this area.
"Besides, Chi Yuean is an official, and he's been covering up these things. Isn't it normal that I can't find anything?"
Isn't it just that you're stupid? Zhang Yuanqing pondered: "What if there was a possibility that you could constantly tempt a police officer in the Public Security Bureau to investigate for you?" "!!!" Kou Beiyue was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he forcefully explained: "Master Wuhen has set a rule that you can't use your abilities on ordinary people. If something is found out and they get silenced, wouldn't that harm innocent people?"
I didn't expect that helping to save someone would lead to these troubles. I have to report it to the Centurion. Zhang Yuanqing said:
"What are your plans next? You'd better tell Xiaoyuan about being marked, because that psychopath can track your location in real time."
At this moment, Kou Beiyue's phone rang. Seeing that it was Xiaoyuan calling, he was overjoyed, but after answering the phone, his tone was deliberately impatient:
"What is it, Xiaoyuan? Are you never going to stop? I'm very tired now and need to rest. Save your scolding for when I get back to the hotel."
"No need to come back!" Xiaoyuan said calmly:
"You've been expelled from the team by Master Wuhen. You don't need to come back anymore."
Kou Beiyue's expression suddenly froze, and his face seemed to turn even paler. He took a deep breath and sneered:
"If I don't go, I don't go. I've always been a loner. If you hadn't been nosy, I don't know where I'd be living it up now. Who wants to go to that crappy hotel? Hanging up!"
Kou Beiyue squatted on the ground dejectedly. He gritted his teeth, his expression was fierce, but his eyes were full of sadness and loneliness. Like an abandoned dog.
In Wuhen Hotel, Xiaoyuan hung up the phone, put the phone on the bedside table, pinched the space between her eyebrows, and muttered, "Finally, someone has stepped in to deal with that messed-up situation."
She tidied her long hair, snuggled into the quilt, and fell asleep peacefully.
"Well, there's no need to talk about the mark." Zhang Yuanqing said:
"Let me point you in the right direction. If you want to get revenge, you can report it to that psychopath from earlier. With you as a witness, he should take action." "My own business, I don't need anyone else's help. If he helps me, and then wants to take me to the north, I can't refuse, but I don't want to go north." Kou Beiyue snorted:
"I don't like the northern climate. I'd rather shiver in the winter in the south."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "Then listen to my arrangement. It's a serious crime for official members to harm ordinary people. As a Night Wanderer of the Taiyi Sect, I have the right to investigate this matter." Kou Beiyue raised an eyebrow, seeming a little surprised: "You're going to help me?"
"It's not helping you, it's fulfilling my duty, doing things for wages, it's a matter of course." Zhang Yuanqing opened his inventory and summoned the Demon Subduing Pestle:
"Before that, let's purify the mark in your body first. This item has the power of purification. The price for using it is sacrificing essence and blood. Stab yourself in the leg."
After speaking, he threw the Demon Subduing Pestle over.
Kou Beiyue took the brass pestle and stabbed it into his thigh without thinking, piercing it deeply.
The blood seemed to encounter a sponge, and was completely absorbed by the Demon Subduing Pestle. The next moment, a clear and pure golden light burst out, enveloping the rebellious teenager.
Kou Beiyue bathed in the golden light, feeling a burst of heat. Immediately, the grievances, anger, and helplessness that had been suppressed in his heart dissipated a lot, and his thoughts were much clearer.
It can even purify emotions to a certain extent? While checking the item information, he grimaced, "Good stuff, but the cost is too high. It's not suitable for use in battle. Hiss, it hurts so much. It's not that you're too honest, I told you to stab it once, not to stab it so deep, you idiot..." Zhang Yuanqing nodded steadily, playing the role of a calm otaku, and said, "Give me back the thing."
Kou Beiyue didn't hesitate and threw the powerful item back.
After taking the item, Zhang Yuanqing was about to put it back into the inventory when he suddenly thought, if I were the Devil's Eye Heavenly King, wouldn't I conveniently place a mark in the body of a Night Wanderer of the Taiyi Sect?
Although this guy claims that he needs evidence to kill people, evil professions are, after all, evil professions. They are inherently opposed to the Lawful Good faction. If there is an opportunity, marking a captain-level official member and controlling their location in real time, what's not to like?
So, Zhang Yuanqing held the Demon Subduing Pestle in reverse and gently pierced the skin of his thigh.
The Demon Subduing Pestle automatically absorbed essence and blood, feeding back the power of the sun god to the holder, purifying all foreign influences in the body. Kou Beiyue looked at the small wound on the other's leg, and then looked at his own wound that almost reached the bone, and murmured, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Zhang Yuanqing grinned: "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless to yourself. Okay, let's leave here quickly. Our purification of the mark should have been sensed by the other party."
Far away from Kangyang District, on a certain rooftop, the Devil's Eye Heavenly King, who was scanning this area with his devil's eye, suddenly said "Huh".
He tilted his head and looked in the direction he had come from.
"My mark has been purified? A level 3 Night Wanderer actually has such methods..." The Devil's Eye Heavenly King closed his vertical eye, put on his headband, and dialed a subordinate's number.
"Help me check if the captain of the Taiyi Sect stationed in Kangyang District is called Yuan Ting. Find his relevant information and send it to me after you're done."
"Yes, Heavenly King!"
"How is the collection of information on Yuanshi Tianzun? Has anyone on the black market given him evidence of crimes?" the Devil's Eye Heavenly King asked. "Whether it's clues about the members of the Never-Killing Palace, or Yuanshi Tianzun's criminal information, there is none."
Finding people is difficult, especially finding The Way of the Extraordinary. This result was not unexpected. The Devil's Eye Heavenly King clicked his tongue and said, "Is this Yuanshi Tianzun really a paragon of morality?"
The subordinate was stunned and said, "Heavenly King, according to the information, I think, maybe, um, he just hasn't had time to commit a crime."
After all, it has only been two months since Yuanshi Tianzun joined the official organization. Kangyang District, a Express Hotel.
Zhang Yuanqing stood at the end of the corridor and dialed Fu Qingyang's number.
"It's 1:30 in the morning. Calling me at this time, there must be something important, right?" Fu Qingyang said in a cold and emotionless tone.
"Yes, I have a major event to report."
Zhang Yuanqing immediately told the Centurion about the grievances between Kou Beiyue and Chi Yuean.
"Investigating a deacon requires the permission of an elder. Chi Yuean is the deacon of Shakou District, not a direct subordinate of Dog Elder. He won't care." Fu Qingyang said: "If you want to interfere in this matter, then collect evidence and report him to the higher-ups of the branch."
"I understand. Does the Centurion have any suggestions?" He wanted to hear Fu Qingyang's attitude.
Fu Qingyang said lightly, "It's a good thing to have a sense of justice, but it's not advisable for you to be active outside right now. Investigating a deacon-level member is a major event. If it causes a stir, it will definitely be discovered by Devil's Eye. My suggestion is,
don't get involved for now."
I can completely disguise myself and investigate secretly. It's not a big problem. Zhang Yuanqing said, "The second thing, I just saw the Devil's Eye Heavenly King."
"You've seen Devil's Eye?" Fu Qingyang's tone sank. Zhang Yuanqing then told the whole story.
Fu Qingyang was silent for a long time and analyzed:
"Yuan Ting is very well-known in the Taiyi Sect. If Devil's Eye wants to investigate, he can quickly find out that Yuan Ting is in Beijing and couldn't possibly meet him in Songhai. However, he couldn't possibly associate you with Yuanshi Tianzun because of this.
"Just continue to lie low. Don't participate in this matter. The elders of the branch will be taking action soon. However, this person is very cautious, and it's a bit difficult to find him."
Zhang Yuanqing immediately said, "I have the Devil's Eye Heavenly King's friend. I can find him through cell phone location." "Friend? You actually added him as a friend?" Fu Qingyang was taken aback, then snorted:
"Foolish, who knows if it's the other party's plan to lure the snake out of the hole. He knows that you are an official Night Wanderer, and he still dares to add you as a friend. This is enough to explain the problem."
"What the Centurion said is right. I didn't think it through."
Fu Qingyang gave a "hmm" sound and said, "Also, in a few days, I will convene an online meeting of the White Tiger Guards to announce the plan to recruit you. After everyone passes it, I will send you the recruitment information."
That means I have to wait a few more days. Centurion, I can't wait for the tens of millions of houses. Zhang Yuanqing said, "Okay!"
The two ended the call.
Zhang Yuanqing immediately entered the room and exchanged contact information with Kou Beiyue. Because he was considering that he might need help if he investigated secretly, he asked Kou Beiyue to wait for notification in the hotel.
The next day, after Zhang Yuanqing had breakfast, he watched his little aunt leave for work and told his grandmother that he didn't have class in the morning. He went back to his bedroom with peace of mind.
He didn't have to go to work during this time and couldn't see Old Driver Ji and Li Dongze. He was bored at home. Since he was idle anyway, he might as well investigate the Chi deacon.
But before that, let Xiaoyuan join the gang first, so that this matter can be settled.
Zhang Yuanqing opened the gang warehouse, clicked on the search in the upper right corner, and used his fingers as a pen to enter: Xiaoyuan. Sent an invitation command.
A few minutes later, the The Way of the Extraordinary prompt sounded: [Ding, Xiaoyuan has joined your gang.] Actually, it would be nice to bring Guan Ya in as well, and also the Master of the Never-Killing Palace. In this way, my gang would be full of beauties. This gang leader commands all the beauties and becomes famous in the Jianghu... Zhang Yuanqing sent Xiaoyuan a message:
"I've settled Kou Beiyue down. I'll try to investigate his matter." Xiaoyuan replied with an "um" sound.
Xiaoyuan is probably eager for me to take over Kou Beiyue's matter. Zhang Yuanqing typed in the message: "I also have something I want to ask Aunt Xiaoyuan to help with."
Xiaoyuan: "What is it."
Zhang Yuanqing: "I want to hunt down a level 3 Temptation Demon and refine it into a Yin corpse. But you also know that evil professions are like rats in a sewer. I can't find them."
Xiaoyuan: "So you need another rat in the sewer to help?" Zhang Yuanqing: "Oh, you're being too modest."
Xiaoyuan: "Heh, just wait."
As he was talking, Zhang Yuanqing saw a new message coming into his phone. It was sent by Xie Lingxi. "Yuan Shi gege, do we have a new member? Who is Xiaoyuan, a magical girl?" Xie Lingxi, as one of the gang members, also received a The Way of the Extraordinary prompt.
No, she's a magical aunt! Zhang Yuanqing typed in the message: "You've seen her."
Xie Lingxi: "Huh? But I don't know her. I've never even heard of this name."
He replied "Thank you" to Xiaoyuan, ended the chat, and then replied to Little Green Tea: "The front desk of Wuhen Hotel."
"Ah?! How could you pull an evil profession into the gang? Isn't that bad? That aunt looks fierce. Is it really okay for her to join the gang? Is she trustworthy?"
Xie Lingxi's impression of Xiaoyuan was from when they first met. She only felt that she was a very beautiful and sexy woman, but her temper was very cold and stinky.
"Don't worry, she is a companion who is ashamed to be a father. There is nothing wrong with her character."
Zhang Yuanqing enlightened Little Green Tea a few words and unexpectedly received a call from his mother. Her? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned and quickly answered the call, scolding:
"You are so busy every day. You actually have time to call me. Aren't you in a meeting? Aren't you running business?" His mother didn't seem to hear his sarcasm and said:
"I contacted that business partner you mentioned last time. He's free today and can arrange for you to meet."
