Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 28

"Xianren ruins? Yuanqing's cave residence?"

Yuan Yi's expression was serious, sensing something unusual.

"Indeed." Bu Donghou nodded. "When Jian Cheng returned, he heard rumors about it in the market, so he brought the news back. What do you all think?"

Yuan Yi Xianzun did not answer. It was Dao Ling Xianzun, sitting opposite him, who spoke first: "Whether this is true or not, since it concerns Yuanqing, our Fuyun Sect should send someone to check it out. Otherwise, other sects might see us as a joke."

Three hundred years ago, this was a blemish for the Fuyun Sect, and everyone present understood this unspoken.

"Xianzun's words are reasonable." Bu Donghou tapped the armrest of his chair and then asked, "So, who among you is willing to go?"

The sect leaders exchanged glances. Dao Ling Xianzun's gaze was slightly askew towards Yuan Yi Xianzun. Seeing him distracted, he recommended: "In my opinion, among those present, Yuan Yi Xianzun is the most suitable for this task."

Yuan Yi Xianzun frowned and coldly glared at him: "What do you mean by that?"

Dao Ling Xianzun had a smile on his face, appearing kind: "Yuanqing Xianzun is your sister. Naturally, it is only fitting that you go to her cave residence."

Yuan Yi Xianzun wanted to retort, but Dao Ling Xianzun did not give him the chance to speak, smiling and saying, "Anyway, Tianzhu Peak has nothing much to do. It's just a visit. If the rumors are false, the sect master need not take action."

Bu Donghou nodded: "I think it's acceptable. No matter how Yuanqing Xianzun is, she is still a member of the Fuyun Sect. Her relics should be returned to the sect for safekeeping. It's settled then. Yuan Yi, you should take Jian Cheng and You Ying to Yuliang Mountain and check it out."

Yuan Yi Xianzun was left speechless and had to agree.

Seeing that he did not protest and feeling bored, Dao Ling Xianzun changed the topic: "About the incident in Zhuang'an Village, did Jian Cheng find any leads that the sect master asked him to investigate?"

Bu Donghou replied: "Jian Cheng brought back a corpse puppet. According to the clues provided by a disciple of Tianzhu Peak, the village head of Zhuang'an Village and the villager Pang Da died at the hands of the corpse puppet."

"Corpse puppet?" Dao Ling Xianzun raised an objection, "Did you find out who was controlling the corpse puppet?"

"It was the village head of Zhuang'an Village himself."

Bu Donghou revealed the conclusion Jian Cheng brought back: "This person was refining corpse puppets in his courtyard. Unfortunately, that night was the full moon, and the Yin energy was extremely strong. For some reason, the corpse puppet went out of control and went berserk, killing the village head and Pang Da who were in the courtyard at that time."

Dao Ling Xianzun seemed thoughtful: "I see."

After the meeting, people left the sect affairs hall one after another.

Yuan Yi Xianzun was the last to leave. Dao Ling Xianzun deliberately slowed his pace until Yuan Yi Xianzun approached.

Yuan Yi just ignored him and was about to pass him by when he heard a voice transmission in his ear.

"Since Yuan Yi Xianzun wants to start this game, I will naturally accompany you to the end."

Yuan Yi kept his eyes straight and walked past him.

Ling Jiancheng had just returned to the sect and soon received a dispatch mission.

Hearing that it involved investigating the xianren ruins with Yuan Yi Xianzun, Ling Jiancheng was pleased and immediately packed his things. He called You Ying to join him and went to wait for Yuan Yi Xianzun outside the mountain gate.
