Chapter 41: The Wasted Water Leads to the East
A magnificent golden light shone into the sea of consciousness, and Zhang Yuanqing's hostility dissipated in his heart, breaking free from his spirit-questioning state and seeing the disheveled Li Dongze, while feeling pain all over his body, as if he had suffered an inhumane beating.
"Really, every time I devour the spirit of an evil profession, the Night Traveler will go crazy ......."
Li Dongze threw the voodoo pestle back to Zhang Yuanqing, then straightened his attire and fished out a bag of wet tissues from his coat pocket and handed it over, saying, "Wipe the nosebleed, be graceful at all times."
Zhang Yuanqing took the wet tissue and wiped the nosebleed stains clean, he first opened the attribute panel and took a look at it, increasing his experience value by 5%, his experience value was now 52%.
Next, he combed through the memory fragments.
"The Eastern District Chapter of the Spiritual Energy Society had two vice-presidents, one was the Eerie Eyes Judge, and the other was the superior of the "Extra-legal Maniacs" superior.
The two vice-presidents have been competing for the presidency for many years. After the death of Judge Wry-Eye, the vice-president is trying to get the Holy Grail and the roster to take over his rival's legacy and consolidate the Eastern District Chapter.
So too was the search for Black Impermanence.
The power of the Spiritual Energy Society is huge ah, in the Eastern District Chapter alone, there are two vice presidents, both high level Spirit Realm Walkers ...... Zhang Yuanqing fixed his mind and said, "Shishang, I've found a major clue."
Immediately, he informed Li Dongze of the list he had seen in his memory fragment.
Li Dongze listened while nodding his head, and when he heard the list, his eyes snapped open:
"Very good, very good, with this list, we will be able to target our line of investigation and not be like a headless fly. It is true that the one who knows the enemy best is still the enemy himself."
Zhang Yuanqing mused, "I always feel strange, first it was Ou Xiangrong, then the extrajudicial maniacs, as if someone is sending us clues again."
Li Dongze smiled and said, "You are very thoughtful, let's do it this way, write an analysis report to me, this is a test of your ability."
Elegant Monster, you will lose me this way ....... Zhang Yuanqing's face instantly froze.
"It's cheap for Li Yuanfang, their second team has made a great achievement." Li Dongze lamented a sentence without saying anything more, leaning on his cane towards the door and opened the iron door.
The members of the second team in the corridor immediately flocked up, facing the cold and serious Li Yuanfang with a few moments of anticipation, asking:
"How is it, what are the clues?"
Li Dongze smiled and said, "Got a list of Black Impermanence's subordinates, your second team has taken credit."
Li Yuanfang's cold face crawled with smiles.
The captains of the second team were pleasantly surprised and smiled.
The weight of this list could be imagined, the more important the list was, the more credit they got and the whole team benefited.
Li Dongze said in a deep voice, "But the authenticity of the list is yet to be verified."
Li Yuanfang nodded stoically, then looked at Zhang Yuanqing behind Li Dongze and said:
"When the rewards are handed out, we will set aside ten percent to compensate you, many thanks ......"
The tone was surprisingly gentle.
Then, with an envious expression, he lamented, "Shishang Li is very lucky."
The members of the second team looked at Zhang Yuanqing with gazes full of goodwill and approval.
No one objected to the Shishang's idea of compensation, believing that this was what Zhang Yuanqing deserved.
........
Dinner.
Zhang Yuanqing sat at the dining table, enjoying the meal cooked by his grandmother.
Jiang Yu Bait was eating while swiping a short video, she was wearing a pink sweater with two big fluffy ears on her hoodie.
I remember when my sister-in-law was eighteen or nineteen years old, she liked to collect black silk and short skirts to show off her mature charm.
After her 25th birthday, she began to dress in a girlish style and boasted that she was a little girl and a fairy.
The older you get, the more you love to act young.
"Don't play with your cell phone at dinner." Grandma disciplined.
"Play for a while. ....." The sister-in-law pampered, she chewed her rice and said:
"Yuanzi ah, I saw a mixed-race girl in the hospital today, the body of a great, long and beautiful, do you know how old their husbands."
That mixed blood chick not only has a great body, but is also very good at driving ....... Zhang Yuanqing cooperated and asked:
"How old?"
"Still a college student." The sister-in-law looked disgusted and said, "And then look at you, single until now, no interest at all."
"You yourself are not also single? Who are you to talk about me." Zhang Yuanqing slanted her a glance.
"What do you know, sister-in-law I am single is clean, you are single, is no interest."
"You can't even take a punch from the King of West Chu."
Grandma heard in her ears, reprimanded her daughter, "You still have the face to say Yuanzi, he is now focusing on his studies, what's wrong with that? He's still clean, are you going to be a saintly maiden. Next week continue to give me a blind date to go, did not let you get married immediately, at least first find a boyfriend to get along."
The sister-in-law's scourge led to her nephew: "Then I haven't turned yet, I also have to prioritize my career, your grandson is thirty years old, and he doesn't have a boyfriend either."
Grandma heard this and thought it made sense, looked at Chen Yuanjun and mused:
"Yuanjun ah, grandma will arrange another blind date for you, last time I gave your photo to the woman, they told me that they don't look for older ones, so grandma thinks that their family doesn't have a vision ...... I'll have Yu'er fix your photo to be younger."
The corners of his cousin's mouth twitched, habitually wrinkling his Sichuan lines, and he said in a deep voice:
"It's good that Grandma is happy, but I think that Yuanzi always sleeps during the day and plays games at night these days, and doesn't take his studies seriously at all. College is not the end of study, but the starting point for entering society, with Great Aunt being abroad, Grandma, it's all the more important for you to supervise Yuanzi, and the PS5 should still be smashed."
Grandmother heard, feel justified, angry and reprimanded: "All day just know play games, you this do not grow up things, must force me to smash your game console."
No, brother you are also too doggy ....... Zhang Yuanqing's scalp was numb, seeing his grandmother chattering away, he quietly summoned the little teaser and instructed him to climb up to Grandpa's head before settling his emotions and personally maneuvering to replace Grandpa's hearing.
"Grandma, look at Grandpa, he doesn't care about anything, it's not fair to let you run the house all by yourself."
Auntie and Cousin gave him a surprised look, this kid has a lot of guts today.
Grandma heard, immediately looked at Grandpa, frowned: "Old Chen, you also say a few words ..... Old Chen, Old Chen?"
Grandpa, with the round and cute baby lying on top of his head, ignored it and ate in silence.
Zhang Yuanqing quietly retrieved the little teaser, and Grandpa jerked his head up, as if he had only just heard someone call out to him, frowning, "What?"
"Talking to you." Grandmother said angrily.
"I didn't hear you."
"What do you mean, pretending to be deaf with me? All day long you know to walk and play chess and watch TV, am I your Chen family's maid, your own daughter doesn't care, your grandchildren don't care, your grandchildren don't care, I'm kind of aware of who that family scum inherited from ......" Grandmother's violent temper was out of control.
Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and ate, and deeply hid his work and name.
.......
Moss Pet Cafe.
The roller shutter door was half drawn, the store was dimly lit, and the orange halo and elm flooring blended to create a soothing and sedate atmosphere.
The deacon level figures of the Fenghui, Kangyang, Jinjiang, and Puning districts were gathered together, eleven in total, and they were gathered around the round table with steaming coffee at hand.
There was no doubt that this was a high-level meeting, and those who could summon deacons over for a meeting must be elder-level figures.
Under the orange chandelier, right in the center of the round table, a curly-haired teddy sat crouched majestically, spitting out a human voice:
"The personnel have all arrived, I'll make it short, the matter of the Deceitful Eye Judge's perishing involves a great deal, what have you guys gained in the past few days."
This was the elder of the Hundred Flowers Society, one of the people in charge of the Guile Eyed Judge incident, he managed all the Spirit Realm Walker teams in the above four major districts, and was a powerful figure who could report matters directly to the alliance master.
The other deacons didn't speak, and the deacon of the Feng Hui District raised his hand and said in a low voice:
"The people under my hand, today, killed a sorcerer-companion master, confirmed that it was one of the Compassion King's people, and obtained a list of names from the memories of the spirit body ......."
He then announced the contents of the list.
Curly Teddy's beady eyes revealed a look of approval:
"Well done. Well, the spirit body of the Witchmaster is manic and abnormal, and the Taiyi Sect's Night Wanderer Asking Spirit needs to pay a not-so-small price, so turn around and offer compensation."
The deacon of the Feng Hui District nodded as he added:
"I don't think the Ou Xiangrong incident was a coincidence, he was the bait put out by the Compassion King to let us know about the Deceitful Eye Judge Perishing incident. The sorcerer killed today was also one of the Compulsion King's men, and he wanted to use our official power to find out about Black Impermanence."
The Compulsion King was the other vice president of the Spiritual Energy Society's Eastern Region, and he and the Guile Eyed Judge had not been competing for the presidency for a day or two.
Both sides were like water and fire.
"When the goals are the same, anyone can be a friend. But the Fallen Holy Grail is harmful and must be kept by our officials, and must not fall into the hands of the Compass King." Curly Teddy's beady eyes looked around the crowd and said:
"What do the others have to add."
The deacons silently jotted down the list, and a female deacon frowned:
"Zhao Yingjun's example is worthy of our vigilance, I suggest that we do a screening of the Songhai branch, all its members, including the Taiyi Sect's night wanderers, there may be a Spiritual Energy Society's pawn lurking inside."
Curly-haired Teddy pondered for a few seconds and slowly nodded, "In that case, we'll have to use the 'Tiger Talisman', I'll submit a request to the Marshal."
After finishing the business, Teddy turned his head and looked at Fu Qingyang who was dressed in a white suit and silent, saying:
"I heard that you have recently recruited a night wanderer with good potential to pass the She Spirit Tunnel?"
Fu Qingyang nodded slightly, then added: "Ou Xiangrong was also killed by him."
Curly-haired Teddy said:
"A few days ago, Elder Red Tassel of the Taiyi Sect contacted me, hoping to ask that Night Wanderer over. I know that Elder Sun said he didn't want that little guy, but the Five Elements Alliance and the Taiyi Sect signed an agreement after all.
"Personnel is under the control of Elder Red Tassel, Elder Sun's word doesn't count ...... Qing Yang what is your opinion."
Fu Qingyang faintly said:
"Just rebuff her, if it's inconvenient for you, Elder, I'll call myself."
A deacon from the Hundred Flowers Society immediately laughed:
"It's not a big deal, so it's just a Night Wanderer, there's no harm in giving it to the Taiyi Sect, isn't Elder Red Tassel's favor worth more? Moreover, each of our districts has a Night Wanderer from the Taiyi Sect, so when we need them to work, they will actively cooperate with us, right, Old Zhang."
Old Zhang was the deacon of Feng Hui District.
The other deacons remained silent, not commenting on such a sensitive issue.
Seeing the crowd looking at him, Old Zhang frowned and said:
"Since they are Centurion Fu's people, I won't comment on personnel mobilization, but I want to give feedback on the Taichi Sect's Night Wanderer's work ethic. The sorcerer that was killed today was not the one that Taiyi Sect Night Voyager asked for the spirit, and he refused to cooperate on the grounds that he was in poor condition.
"The shikai under my hand had no choice, so he begged to the second team of Kang Yang District, heh, people came with one phone call without any complaints, and he's still only a level 1 Night Wanderer.
"Personally, I think that there's still a difference between my own night wandering god and someone else's."
Fu Qingyang froze for a moment, he didn't know about this.
After hearing Old Zhang's words, several deacons each expressed their opinions:
"I think it's better to stay, Taiyi Sect doesn't lack a Night Wanderer."
"It's the period when we are using people, our own people are more trustworthy."
The Hundred Flowers Society's deacon had an embarrassed look on his face and didn't say anything else.
Curly Teddy nodded:
"Then stay, on Elder Red Tassel's side, I'll return the favor. Qingyang, Taiyi Sect's Lingjun, will lead a team to arrive at Songhai in a few days, to assist us in searching for Black Impermanence, you two are of the same generation, you're usually close, and you're also one of the four dukes, you go and receive them."
Fu Qingyang gave a "hmm".
