All that could be heard was Chen Duo saying calmly, "That one is also..."

Ma Xianhong burst into laughter: "Hahaha, so Chen Duo can joke too. You were right to leave the company."

"You're just an ordinary girl, and you have the right to choose whatever you want."

"People from Qinghe Village, are they leaving the company?"

Xia Linyuan looked at Ma Xianhong: "What's your explanation?"

Ma Xianhong shook his head, his voice as cold as a late spring chill: "She's not from Qinghe Village, but a pitiful person who was imprisoned, brainwashed, used, and then abandoned by the company..."

Xia Linyuan knew Ma Xianhong wasn't lying. He chewed the durian candy a few times and swallowed it. He waited for Ma Xianhong to continue.

"This is not the place to talk."

Ma Xianhong pointed behind him: "My car is deep in the jungle. Would you like to come with me to Biyou Village? It's safer there..."

Xia Linyuan gave Ma Xianhong a deep look but didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Chen Duo, "Since you're not from Qinghe Village, are you aware of the death of Liao Zhong in South China?"

Perhaps because she had eaten durian candy, Chen Duo sniffed the air and turned slightly to the side: "I know."

"Is it related to you?"

"Ah."

After hearing Chen Duo's words, Xia Linyuan gradually formed his own judgment.

He was not from Qinghe Village, but belonged to the Gu poison master in South China, and was related to the death of the person in charge of South China.

Miss Chen Duo, you're not a temporary worker, are you...?

"You...you killed him?"

"I have no idea."

Chen Duo stood in the shadows of the dense forest, his expression calm, as if he were talking about something trivial. However, his slightly trembling pupils revealed that his emotions were far from calm.

do not know?

That means they've done something.

Accidental killing or manslaughter?

Chen Duo's Gu poison skills were already highly refined three years ago, so is it really possible that she accidentally killed someone? Could there be more to Liao Zhong's death than meets the eye?

The situation in South China involves all six major regions, and since it concerns Master's future, we can't afford to make any mistakes on minor details.

Xia Linyuan took a deep breath and looked at Ma Xianhong: "You know the whole story, right..."

“I’ll go with you, and you can tell me everything that happened.”

Ma Xianhong made an inviting gesture: "Biyou Village, welcome."

“Biyou Village is quite far from here; it's a three-day journey without a plane. You and Chen Duo can leave first; I need to pick up two more people…”

Xia Linyuan nodded slowly: "I need to talk to my family so they won't worry."

"can."

Ma Xianhong smiled and said very generously.

It's frighteningly frank.

"..."

Xia Linyuan fumbled for his phone and finally sent a message to Xiao Zizai: "Master, I met a friend who invited me on a trip. Please bear with me these next few days."

It didn't take long.

Xiao Zizai replied to the message: "Okay, I'll stay a few more days. There's not much work to do lately."

Xia Linyuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Xiao Zizai's message. People related to Liao Zhong had all come to Beijing, yet he said there was no work.

'Master, you're not being honest...'

"How long will it take for the person you're inviting to arrive? If it's not long, I can wait."

Xia Linyuan put his phone away and looked up at Ma Xianhong.

Ma Xianhong stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, "I sent two people. Given their level, they should be able to get here by tonight."

"You're right here. Why don't you go yourself?"

Xia Linyuan asked in confusion.

Ma Xianhong said matter-of-factly, "As the leader of a sect, how can I simply show myself? So, shall we wait together?"

Xia Linyuan glanced at the time and said without hesitation, "Never mind, let's not wait. Chen Duo, let's go first."

Ma Xianhong opened his mouth and uttered the number "6".

"But it's better to leave sooner."

"Chen Duo, go and help out with Kui'er's situation. After all, he's a renowned figure in the Quanxing Sect."

Chen Duo nodded. "Yes, Master."

After saying that, he walked into the depths of the jungle. Xia Linyuan stood there waiting for the car to start, and looked at Ma Xianhong: "Do you still have a mission?"

"Of course. After all, it's a 'religion,' so it still has its mission and purpose."

Ma Xianhong said very seriously.

Xia Linyuan's eyes flickered, and just from the name 'Xin Jie', he could roughly guess the tenets of Ma Xianhong's sect.

The Yin-Shang period.

The Chan sect, founded by Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, emphasizes acting in accordance with Heaven and expounding the Way of Heaven. Disciples are rigorously selected, prioritizing quality over quantity, and preferring to have fewer rather than fewer disciples. This selection method is still used by extraordinary individuals to recruit disciples today.

The Jie Sect, founded by the Tongtian Sect Leader, believed that the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and the one that is hidden is the true life force for cultivators. It emphasizes seizing a single thread of life force between heaven and earth to achieve one's own Great Dao.

The method of selecting disciples is completely opposite to that of the Chan sect. It recruits disciples entirely based on chance, and all creatures born from moisture or eggs can be taught. It emphasizes teaching without discrimination.

The new Jie Sect, a name that signifies great ambition. Neither seizing the last vestige of life in the world nor advocating for universal education are easily accomplished.

Buzz

The sound of a car approached from afar, and a pickup truck with its cargo bed covered by a canopy drove up to Xia Linyuan's side.

See you at Biyou Village.

Ma Xianhong smiled slightly.

Xia Linyuan nodded: "See you in Biyou Village."

He immediately sat in the passenger seat and said to Chen Duo, "It's a three-day journey. If you get tired, you can switch with me."

Chen Duo shook her head: "No need. Just sit still."

After saying that, a hint of stubbornness appeared between his brows, and he stepped on the gas, speeding out of the jungle.

Chapter 176 Wooden House

"Miss Chen Duo, what is our mission?"

Xia Linyuan slowly fastened his seatbelt, fiddled with his phone for a while, and then asked a question.

"That's my mission."

Chen Duo drove without looking to the side.

Xia Linyuan raised an eyebrow: "Can't you tell me? Maybe I can help."

“You haven’t officially joined Biyou Village yet, so taking action might cause some trouble. Just stay in the car.”

"profound."

Seeing that Chen Duo was tight-lipped and he couldn't get any information out of her, Xia Linyuan gave up on the idea and thought that meeting other people in Biyou Village might yield more clues.

After replying to Xia Linyuan's message, Xiao Zizai sat in the living room staring blankly at the TV, his fingertips lightly tapping the back of the chair, as if waiting for something.

bang bang

The doorbell rang, and a person from Nadutong Company stood outside the door, holding a bundle in his hand.

Xiao Zizai's lips curled into a slight smile. It had finally arrived.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Xia Linyuan's address?"

"Yes."

Xiao Zizai said decisively, signed for the package with great skill, and then said gently to the deliveryman, "Thank you."

"Haha...you're welcome, it's what I should do."

The deliveryman was stunned by Xiao Zizai's smile. After saying that, he ran away without looking back, forgetting even to give a five-star review.

The bundle was opened, revealing a bank card and an encrypted satellite phone.

Xiao Zizai weighed the satellite phone in his hand and dialed a number: "Hey, Lao Dou. I received the stuff. The temporary worker information for South China... we can't just arrest Zhao Guizhen from six regions..."

"Hey, don't tell anyone about this. I was told this secretly from above. The other temporary workers don't even know about Biyou Village yet, so don't let it slip."
