I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

"In order to perfectly transfer a mysterious pearl."

"Two lives were lost..."

Cheng Laiyun felt a chill run down his spine, and he said in a low voice:

"Such methods... are truly unheard of."

Looking at the two beautiful female lay Buddhists in front of me, their faces lost in thought.

He breathed a silent sigh of relief.

At the same time, an undisguised gratitude towards the founding master arose in my heart.

"Our ancestor was awesome!"

Right now, he wished he could hug Gao Jue on the [Divine Invocation Altar] and give him a kiss.

powerful!

too strong!

If the supernatural ability of "hearing the wind" only involves "listening" and does not have the function of "processing information", then...

Even if he manages to escape the death crisis caused by the framing of a minor official today, he certainly won't be able to get past this hurdle.

Although he could have easily fabricated a story based on the "three days" his predecessor spent on Qinglong Mountain to cover up the Xuanzhu case.

However, he still chose to deduce the truth for Gao Heyun.

Because he had his own considerations.

Xu Jiayin's large eyes showed surprise and doubt, and she subconsciously looked up at Gao Heyun:

"Sister Gao...this method sounds just like the madmen from the Evil Court!"

Evil Court?

Upon hearing those two words, Cheng Laiyun keenly searched his memory.

Honestly, such methods are truly chilling.

What makes people so willing to risk their lives to complete a "mission"?

How is this any different from a cult?

But after searching for a while, he found that his predecessor had zero memory of the words "Evil Court".

*Whoosh!*

As soon as Xu Jiayin finished speaking, she sprang up from her seat, her voice urgent:

"Right now, we must find Zhu Li as soon as possible, or things may change!"

"We can't go!" Cheng Laiyun and Gao Heyun said almost at the same time.

Ok?

The two looked at each other.

Gao Heyun looked at Cheng Laiyun with great interest.

"What? What if Zhu Li runs away later?" Xu Jiayin stopped and looked over, slightly bewildered.

A pair of big, innocent eyes stared blankly at the two perfectly in sync partners in front of her.

Cheng Laiyun took a deep breath, his expression solemn:

"What I mean is, we can't just go like this with such a big fuss."

"The Xuanzhu case has far-reaching implications. There must be someone else behind Zhu Li. If we go looking for him now, we will only alert him."

As he spoke, he turned around, looked at Gao Heyun with a sharp gaze, and slowly bowed to her:

"In my opinion, the best course of action would be for Lord Gao to secretly investigate Zhu Li. If he can find Xuan Zhu without anyone noticing, and then use Zhu Li to lure out the person behind him, that would be the best strategy."

Moreover, this way, I myself won't be so easily exposed.

Cheng Laiyun understood the situation very well.

The Xuanzhu case was definitely not something an ordinary person could plan.

It could even be a joint effort by multiple forces.

He, a nobody with no connections, no power, and no resources, was caught in this vortex, his fate uncertain.

This is a very real problem.

Moreover, there is only one path in front of him now.

That means clinging to the thighs of these two women in front of you.

These two women came from the capital, and they seemed to wield considerable power.

For him now, he is undoubtedly the one who reaches the heavens.

As for running?

The Taoist priest may run away, but the Taoist temple cannot.

They genuinely want to protect themselves in this world.

It must be cultivating the extraordinary system of this world.

Furthermore, he also needs "mana" to unleash his "supernatural powers"...

We can't rely on our own limited energy every time, can we?

So… here comes the important part.

There is one major hurdle he cannot overcome if he wants to cultivate.

In the memories of the previous owner, the Mo Sect, the Agricultural Bureau, and the Medical Cultivation Sect were all extraordinary systems where "immortals" were rarely seen, and it must have required very strong talent.

As for the relatively easy martial arts, they require a large amount of "spiritual rice".

Those who practice martial arts do not eat ordinary rice, but "spiritual rice" grown by agricultural cultivators.

As far as I can remember, my cousin's son, Xiaohu, started practicing martial arts at the beginning of this year and has already spent nearly forty taels of silver!

Forty taels! An ordinary person could only save up twenty taels at most in a year if they didn't eat or drink.

This is less than a year...

It can be said that my cousin's family is now working together to support Xiaohu's martial arts journey.

He was an apprentice who had been dismissed from Xu's Cloth Shop.

Without extraordinary opportunities, it would be impossible to embark on the path to the extraordinary.

Therefore, he must seize every opportunity.

The two women before him were a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

He knew very well that if it weren't for the Xuanzhu case...

As a mere commoner from the lowest rungs of society, his chances of having any contact with these two people were zero.

While the two women were pondering, Cheng Laiyun solemnly looked at Gao Heyun and said:

"My lord, I have devoted myself to helping you find clues to the Mysterious Pearl today. It is only right that I do so, and I should not ask for anything in return."

"But if someone with malicious intent discovers our conversation in the room today, I fear I will not escape death..."

As he spoke.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Then Gao Heyun looked at him with a half-smile, her red lips slightly parted:

"indeed."

Her voice was calm.

Oh? ?

Cheng Laiyun was perceptive, and he sensed a hint of agreement in those words.

Without further hesitation, he immediately knelt down, revealing a hint of caution:

"What I have said today is all thanks to a bit of quick wit and luck."

"If we do not have the opportunity to lay a solid foundation, we may not be able to share your burdens again when we encounter similar predicaments in the future."

See the picture poorly.

He didn't know whether his performance today would be considered "excellent" in Gao Heyun's eyes.

But he has done his best.

Gao Heyun clearly understood Cheng Laiyun's offer of the map and the search for the horse.

The boy's performance and conversation today were enough to make her look at him in a new light.

She didn't mind.

The boy in front of me was covered in filth and smelled of an unpleasant sour odor because he was in prison.

He was thin, and even by martial arts standards, he looked somewhat frail.

Despite his rustic appearance, his eyes shone with an unforgettable light.

She pondered for a moment, then gently shook her head under Cheng Laiyun's expectant gaze:

"The cultivation method I practice has very strict conditions."

"You are listless and lack energy; forcing yourself to practice martial arts will only backfire."

Cheng Laiyun opened his mouth.

Sister, my "mental exhaustion" is a side effect of using supernatural powers. I can recover with some rest.

But he could only keep these words to himself.

He blurted out instinctively, "What I seek is not a gift, but a 'possibility' to continue serving you, sir."

Gao Heyun paused slightly on the hilt of the knife, her brows furrowing slightly.

Xu Jiayin, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Can't you understand? Sister Gao is rejecting you because she doesn't think you have the talent for martial arts."

Cheng Laiyun looked at Gao Heyun's somewhat displeased face, his gaze darkening for a moment, but he quickly masked it with a smile.

"I apologize for my abruptness..."

Right.

The law is not easily passed on; in the extraordinary world, prejudice based on social status will only be more pronounced.

Gao Heyun's expression softened slightly, then she looked at Xu Jiayin, her voice as usual, but her eyes held an undeniable hint:

"Didn't you return from the Ministry of Works precisely to find your mentor?"

He then glanced at Cheng Laiyun and said softly:

"This child is quick-witted, and in my opinion, he meets the criteria for your Mo Sect to accept disciples."

Xu Jiayin was stunned for a moment when she met Gao Heyun's undeniable gaze.
