Hidden moth

Chapter 210: Tears of Joy Before the Spring

Why did He Kao go to Gu Chun for this matter instead of Jiang Daozhen or Li Xiuyuan? Because it was Gu Chun who first discovered Lan Jiuwan and then reminded He Kao.

The last time I met Gu Chun at Qihuang Lingyuan, he mainly gave He Kao advice on three things.

One of them is how to break through the fourth level. Elder Gu also suggested that He Kao ask Wei Luo for advice.

Secondly, he suggested to He Kao that he could accept Ye Liangcheng into the Yin'e Sect, so that he would not have to be a lone leader in the future.

The third was to remind He Kao that he had discovered that a girl had murderous intentions and was spying on Ye Liangcheng, and asked He Kao to handle the matter with caution and to get to the bottom of it.

The last sentence is quite interesting. It is clearly a hint to He Kao - this girl's matter is a bit complicated and cannot be handled simply. This person is also worthy of attention.

Since Gu Chun had already discovered Lan Jiuwan, with his ability, he must have found out something, but he did not do anything personally. Instead, he deliberately left Lan Jiuwan to He Kao.

So He Kao came here today to "report on his work". He talked about how he met Lan Jiuwan and accepted him into the Yin'e Sect. He also flattered him and praised him for his unique vision and for recommending such an outstanding talent.

Gu Chun nodded slightly and said, "Having the heart to punish evil and eliminate evil is very good, and having the desire to save people is even more rare! Speaking of which, I owe her a favor this time."

He Kao: "She owes you a big favor, so why would you owe her a favor?"

Gu Chun: “During that time, I happened to be in Nanhua on business and personally met every sorcerer of the Huiming Shi family, including Shi Yunlu, with my own eyes. My purpose was to verify the situation, but I didn’t realize that he was secretly plotting this.

What did you praise me for just now, "a discerning eye"? I feel so embarrassed just listening to it! If something like this really happens and Shi Yunlu succeeds in his plot, where will I put my face?"

For the past six months, Gu Chun has been primarily focused on verifying the actual status of the disciples of the various sects. Last year's census of disciples was primarily conducted online, and the registration materials for the disciples of each sect were submitted to the Zongfa Hall.

According to the requirements of the clan hall, the information needs to be filled out in person by the sorcerer and be verified by his direct descendants, because what the clan hall wants to know is the accurate and true situation.

But anyone who has worked in a unit knows that when it comes to filling out documents, most of the time it is enough to report to the superiors, so many people just fill out the documents casually, or even have their direct descendants or fellow disciples fill them out on their behalf.

No one would have thought in advance that Elder Gu Chun would actually come to verify. With nearly 5,000 disciples enrolled in the seven major sects, this is a huge and arduous task!
But Elder Gu's verification behavior was not a secret. He publicly stated what he was doing, so many people hurried to report additional or revised information to the clan hall.

Many disciples of the sect didn't even know whether Elder Gu had been there... Elder Gu also went to Nanhua and verified the situation of Shi Yunlu and others. It was during that time that he discovered Lan Jiuwan.
Hearing the old man say this, He Kao knew that his flattery had backfired, and he quickly said, "It's impossible that Shi Yunlu and his son are plotting every day and just happened to be caught by you.

You have to personally see every one of these many disciples, it's really too much work!"

Gu Chun: "It's not that hard. My training requires me to travel around the world, and there's no time limit. It's just a side job."

He Kao: "So, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Gu Chun asked in return, "What's the point? If you were asked to decide, which would you choose first, saving someone or finding someone else?"

He Kao: "Of course, we have to save them! After ensuring the safety of Shi Haotu and his wife, we can try to find that person. For example, we can arrange for Shi Haotu and his wife to fake their deaths, so that Shi Yunlu will think he has succeeded..."

Gu Chun shook his head and said, "Don't overthink it. The more variables there are, the more likely it is that something will go wrong. Shi Yunlu is not a fool, and faking his death is unlikely to work... Just rescue him and then interrogate Shi Yunlu."

In fact, from the perspective of the clan hall, it is more important to find out who secretly lifted the ban on Shi Yunlu. Of course, the safety of Shi Haotu and his wife must also be protected, but the former is the focus.

He Kao understood this logic, but he was more worried about the safety of Shi Haotu and his wife, so he emphasized saving lives first and also made suggestions.

He thought he had considered things carefully, but was unexpectedly rejected directly by Elder Gu. Gu Chun thought there was no need to make things so complicated.

He Kao: "If that's the case, the easiest way is to arrest Shi Yunlu and interrogate him now."

Gu Chun pondered, "If we arrest him now, we won't get any evidence. He hasn't done anything yet. He could claim that there was a problem with the original sealing spell, so he was released early... It's better to wait and catch him in the act."

He Kao: "What about Shi Haotu and his wife?"

Gu Chun: "Protect the safety of Shi Haotu and his wife, and catch Shi Yunlu in the act. This matter is left to you."

He Kao hesitated and said, "Me? What if something goes wrong?"

Gu Chun: "What could go wrong? I've never met anyone more cautious than you. I'd rather leave it to you than to someone else."

He Kao: "I can't keep a close eye on the couple."

Gu Chun: "Why not? Find an excuse to go to Nanhua and work at their company. Don't you know Qian Guran? Let him arrange it! Also, since Lan Jiuwan discovered the situation, you can let her participate.

No one is omniscient and omnipotent. If anything unexpected happens, it's not your responsibility. Just do your best. Do what you think should be done!

He Kao: "I think we should warn Shi Haotu and his wife first, so that they will know how to cooperate no matter what arrangements are made."

Gu Chun smiled and said, "Then go and remind them. Either you go, or let Lan Jiuwan go. This will also let Shi Haotu and his wife know who saved them and how much effort they put into it."

He Kao: "Since you said so, I will let Lan Jiuwan go and remind them personally... Also, can I ask you for a favor?"

Gu Chun: "Go ahead."

He Kao: "Give Lan Jiuwan the identity of a Xinpan Sect disciple, as long as he is enrolled.

Although she has not practiced the Heart Plate Technique, she has practiced the applied techniques of the Heart Plate Sect, such as the Ren Di Ban Xing Technique, which she has mastered very well and can conceal her tracks."

What does this mean? Since Lan Jiuwan is being allowed to appear publicly, she must be given a clear identity and background. In other words, her staffing problem must be solved, or at least a supporting unit must be found.

The identity of a disciple of the Yin Mo Sect is not suitable for public disclosure. Just like the staff of secular secret agencies, they usually have other identities to cover up.

However, matters like this must be communicated clearly in advance, and only the elders have the authority to handle and be aware of them.

Gu Chun smiled: "You are waiting for me here! Have you been planning to take advantage of me for a long time?"

He Kao: "She is the person you recommended to me, is that okay?"

Gu Chun: "Of course it is possible. It is a matter of fate and does not violate the sect's rules. In fact, thousands of years ago, the identities of most of the disciples of the Yin Mo Sect were not made public, otherwise many things would be difficult to do."

He Kao: "Thank you very much!" Gu Chun looked at He Kao and said with a half-smile: "Actually, there's no need to beat around the bush. I can just take her into the Xinpan Sect directly."

He Kao: "You are the elder, how can you snatch someone from me? Besides, even if she is a disciple of the Yin E Sect, she can still respect you as her master!" After thinking for a moment, he added, "Just like me!"

Gu Chun laughed out loud: "I was just joking with you, and you're actually nervous."

He Kao: "Of course I'm nervous. I only have two people under me now, and she's the most capable... Oh, by the way, since Lan Jiuwan can make the arrangements, why don't you make arrangements for Ye Liangcheng as well?"

Gu Chun glared and said, "You kid really knows how to take advantage of others! Even if I agree, he has to act like it and learn a few practical techniques of the Palm Pan Sect first."

He Kao: "I will supervise him."

Gu Chun: "Why don't you look for Lao Li and Lao Jiang?"

He Kao: "Let's forget about Lingxi Sect and Xingshen Sect. I'm worried that kid won't be able to learn them."

Gu Chun: "It really doesn't match his temperament... Sect Leader He, I promised you something, but have you forgotten what you promised me?"

He Kao: "What's the matter?"

Gu Chun: "Last time I asked you to help me steal a coral tent at Qihuang Spiritual Garden. Now that you've broken through to the fourth level of cultivation, isn't it time to fulfill your promise?"

He Kao was slightly surprised: "How did you know? I haven't told anyone!"

Gu Chun smiled without saying anything, and didn't explain how he saw it. He Kao could only say awkwardly, "Wait a moment, old man. Retract your consciousness and don't look at me."

Gu Chun rolled his eyes at him and drank his tea without saying anything. He Kao turned and went into the inner room. In less than a minute, he came back with a plant over two feet long, with its roots still attached.

Coral Tent is a magical herb that is particularly demanding on its growing environment. It is very rare in the wild and difficult to cultivate in medicinal fields. Its branches are red, like coral, and the leaves at the top are spread out like a layer of gauze.

In the Qihuang Spiritual Garden, there was a carefully planted coral tent, about ten or so, of which only three reached two feet tall, protected by a magic circle in the center. Unexpectedly, He Kao had already taken one of the corals after entering the house.

Gu Chun asked with interest, "Did you alarm anyone else?"

He Kao: "That formation should be a simplified version of the Ten Thousand Trees Rejuvenation Formation you set up in Pugang Town, mainly retaining the spirit gathering effect. You have already passed the formation method to me, so I can avoid alerting anyone."

Gu Chun took the coral tent and said without comment, "Okay, you've become more capable now. You have the confidence to speak now."

He Kao smiled and said, "How can I be so confident in front of you? I just learned a little trick, and I would like to ask you for your guidance to see if there is anything I can do."

Gu Chun waved his hand: "Okay, just show off to me."

He Kao just reached out and wiped his face. Gu Chun put down the teacup and stood up, staring at him up and down - because he had turned into Huang Xiaopang.

It’s not that He Kao doesn’t want to change into another appearance, but the Yin E Sha needs to be refined. With his current cultivation level, every time he changes to a new image, he has to refine it again. He can’t do it as he pleases, so for now he can only change into Huang Xiaopang.

He Kao chuckled and said, "This is the wonderful use of the invisible vessel, the hidden moth yarn. Elder Li gave it to me last time..."

Gu Chun interrupted him and said, "I know about this, but I've never seen anyone use it. Its magical use is very taboo. I can give you a suggestion."

He Kao: "I just want to hear your advice."

Gu Chun: "Don't easily change into someone you know, whether it's someone you know or someone everyone knows. If you want to switch identities to make things easier, it's best to become someone who doesn't exist."

He Kao: "Can you tell that this is not my true face right now?"

Gu Chun: "With my level of cultivation, I've noticed it. Of course I can tell. And you're still not very skilled. Changing your face requires continuous casting. I can feel the fluctuations of your magic power."

He Kao: "What other flaws are there?"

Gu Chun: "Not only have you changed your appearance, you are also interfering with my consciousness and senses.

This is very effective for ordinary people, but as long as one has the third-level cultivation, even if they cannot see through your true face, they can still sense that your spiritual consciousness has been disturbed. Isn't this obviously a flaw?
So I suggest that you transform into someone of similar stature, and practice until you are proficient... The more proficient you are in casting spells, the less likely it is that someone will discover your flaws."

He Kao: "Is it possible to deceive you like that?"

Gu Chun: "If you reach that level, you should be able to fool most warlocks below level 6, but you can't let people get too close, let alone touch your face, and try not to perform in front of acquaintances.

As for me, an old man, if I’m not paying attention, you might get away with it.”

He Kao put away the hidden moth veil and said, "I understand. Thank you for your guidance!"

Gu Chun weighed the elixir in his hand and said, "You can't thank me empty-handed. I just happened to need this coral tent, so I took it. Go explain to Lin Qingshuang. Whether she pays with money or something else, the bill will be on you anyway."

……

Lan Jiuwan waited for the reply email from the head senior brother. When she read it, her expression was very solemn at first, but gradually her brows relaxed, and then she showed an uncontrollable surprise, and she couldn't help but take out a tissue to wipe away her tears.

It's not sadness, but excitement, but I try my best to stay calm.

The head senior brother asked him to go directly to Li Yu and tell him about his discovery... None of this is important. What is important is that he should use his real name and real face this time.

If Li Yu asked her who she was, she could answer, "I am Lan Jiuwan, a disciple of Xinpan Sect and a third-level traveler."

If anyone is qualified to verify with the Xinpan Sect, Lan Jiuwan is indeed on the disciple list of the Xinpan Sect. It was recorded personally by the Sect Leader Gu Chun when he traveled around the world and verified the information of the disciples of the sect.

If she had appeared openly in this identity, no one would have gone out of their way to look up the disciple list of Xinpanmen, but the meaning was completely different, and her mentality was also completely different.

What does this mean? It means that she can walk in the sunshine with her true identity as Lan Jiuwan, not only can she live a life like an ordinary person, but she can also participate in the affairs of the sorcerer normally.

As for privacy, who doesn’t have some privacy?
