Mu Shaoqing looked at Lin Qingyao with some surprise. He hadn't expected that Lin Qingyao would be a loose cultivator.

  Lin Qingyao was sized up by Mu Shaoqing, and she felt a chill run down her spine. Sitting together with a high-ranking cultivator like him made her feel as if she had shouldered a great mountain.

  "At that time, the Huaxia group was chasing a demonic female cultivator and planted wormwood on her body. I happened to be passing by and agreed to help chase her down. Unexpectedly, she threw her storage bag onto your body." Mu Shaoqing suddenly explained.

  Bailixiang? Lin Qingyao thought for a moment, then remembered what it was - a tracking method used by cultivators. If this fragrance was sprinkled on someone's body, the person themselves wouldn't be able to smell it, but there was a type of spiritual insect that could accurately track down the person who had come into contact with this scent.

  Mu Shaoqing finished speaking and stood up to leave, leaving Lin Qingyao alone in a daze.

  It seems like you came to find Lin Qingyao just to clarify this matter.

  Lin Qingyao's nervous heart slowly calmed down, if he could come and explain, it meant that he really wouldn't do anything to her.

  At night, Cao Mei Fen woke up.

  Lin Qingyao and the middle-aged monk looked at Cao Meifen, who had just woken up. Cao Meifen's face was streaked with tears, and when she saw the people in front of her, she stared blankly, unable to utter a word.

  "Lin Dao, she seems to have been greatly stimulated and doesn't know what to say."

  Lin Qingyao raised an eyebrow: "Xu Daoyou, are you still doubting me?"

  Middle-aged Master Xu Cheng hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, we have already investigated and found that you were indeed passing by there. This matter has nothing to do with you."

  "Oh? Then I can leave now?" Although this place is nice, it's not her own home after all. Staying inside would inevitably require some vigilance, which made Lin Qingyao feel uncomfortable all over.

  Xu Kun smiled awkwardly: "That, fellow Taoist, I have an impolite request..."

  "You've also seen it, the Huaxia team is not enough to use, recently there has been such a mess in Chuan City, if Daoist friend is convenient, I'd like to ask Daoist friend to lend a hand and help out." Xu Kun said with a consultative tone.

  Actually, Xu Kun thought that Lin Qingyao's low cultivation level would not be of much help, and Huaxia organization was not a waste collection station. Of course, he did not want to keep Lin Qingyao, but the higher-ups had spoken, saying that no matter what method was used, they should try their best to absorb Lin Qingyao in, so he dared not disobey.

  Xu Kun is in charge of the Huaxia Group's Chuan City district. Naturally, he would be the one to take care of such matters.

  Lin Qingyao refused without hesitation: "My cultivation is low, I won't be of much help. If there's nothing else, then I'll take Cao Meifen and leave."

  "If you're unwilling, you can naturally leave, but this woman can't easily depart. Although her words are unclear, if you want to know something from her mind, there's still a way..." Xǔ Kūn suddenly said in a low voice.

  Lin Qingyao coldly snorted: "Are you planning on using that soul-searching and spirit-snatching technique?"

  Xu Kun didn't say a word, he just looked at Cao Mei Fen with indifference.

  Lin Qingyao's heart skipped a beat. Ah, these ordinary people, in the eyes of cultivators, aren't they nothing? Now they want to investigate the truth, and it's highly likely that they will directly choose to sacrifice Cao Meifen.

  That soul-searching method, can it be used on ordinary people? Even if using Mu Shaoqing's technique that tries not to harm the human spirit and soul, Cao Meifen's spirit and soul would still suffer some damage to a certain extent, very likely resulting in a significant reduction in intelligence.

  If Cao Mei Fen were directly and crudely searched with the soul-searching technique commonly used in the Xiuzhen realm, she would have become a vegetable, and it's likely that even an idiot wouldn't be able to pretend to be one!

  Ts'ao Mei-fen's elder brother had been kind to her; how could she stand by and see Ts'ao Mei-fen undergo such experiences?

  Lin Qingyao said in a low voice: "Are you threatening me?"

  Xu Kun smiled: "I don't dare, I don't dare." How could he really threaten her? Looking at Mu Qian's expression, it seemed like they knew Lin Qingyao, and he didn't want to offend Mu Qian indirectly.

  Of course, having to leave her like this now is also unavoidable. Otherwise, given the nature of this female cultivator, she would likely just pat her butt and leave, so where would he go to find someone for Mu Front then?!

  "Lin Daoyou, just agree to help, and when the time comes, you can naturally take this woman away." Xǔ Kūn said with a smile.

  Finally, Xu Kun added a sentence: "Of course, if you join our Huaxia team, we won't let you lose out. There are many cultivation resources in the team, as long as you accumulate enough contribution points, you can exchange for what you want. If you pay more, even foundation-building pills can be exchanged!"

  Zhū jī dān! Can't help but say that when Lin Qingyao heard these three words, her heart suddenly moved.

  After the big circle of Qi is full, it will necessarily need to build the foundation Dan to sprint during the foundation-building period. Now in the cultivation world, the foundation-building Dan is used one by one, where can you find it so easily?

  She is now practicing the sixth layer of Qi, although it's still far from achieving the Great Perfection of Qi, but she can't help thinking ahead about the foundation-building pill. If there's an opportunity to get it, Lin Qingyao won't let it slip away.

  It has to be said that Xu Kun is a master of manipulating power, and as a cultivator, he was somewhat wasted. He knew very well what the greatest temptation for loose cultivators like Lin Qingyao was.

  Lin Qingyao suddenly asked, "Why me?" There were many people with higher cultivation levels than hers, and there should be many who wanted to join the Huaxia organization. So why did they have to recruit her into the Huaxia organization?

  Xu Kun smiled: "You've already gotten involved, no need for two masters to work on one thing. You can come and lend a hand, why go find someone else?"

  Lin Qingyao thought for a moment, then raised her head and said in a clear voice: "You want me to help you investigate this matter, that's fine, but I won't join the Huaxia team. I don't want to be controlled by you, but benefits... I'm the same as the people of Huaxia!"

  Just now, Xu Kun's explanation was that Lin Qingyao would be foolish to believe it. However, regardless of the reason, they wanted to win her over, and she absolutely couldn't lose out. Did they want her to join the Huaxia group? That was naturally impossible. She would sooner or later revive Yunmen, and it was naturally impossible for her to go running errands for others.

  But if it's just an extramarital affair where both parties benefit mutually, then it can be acceptable.

  Xu Kun nodded after a moment of contemplation, "Alright, let's do as you say." But she was afraid that once she knew the benefits of being in the Huaxia group, she wouldn't want to leave.

  In Xu Kun's view, Lin Qingyao's proposal of so many requirements is simply a slap in the face.

  Xu Kun was dissatisfied in his heart, but when Mu Shaoqing gave orders, he would still be diligent and responsible. He had been crawling and rolling in the Huaxia group for so many years, and he still knew what to do.

  Then, Xu Kun took out a bottle of Nourishing Qi Pills from the storage bag and handed it to Lin Qingyao along with two mid-grade spirit stones: "This is a quarter's worth of allowance, you can take it first."

  Then gave Lin Qingyao a jade symbol representing the Huaxia organization. With this jade symbol, even some disciples of major sects would give a few points of courtesy when traveling outside.

  Lin Qingyao somewhat unexpectedly accepted these things, she hadn't even started working yet and already received her "salary", this was really unexpected, making Lin Qingyao add another layer of caution, could it be that this Huaxia group is lacking cannon fodder or something? Is she being set up to be the cannon fodder this time?

  Lin Qingyao withdrew her thoughts and knew that no matter what lay ahead, she had to move forward and see what was waiting for her.

  Lin Qingyao looked at Cao Meifen and said softly: "Cao Heguang, this time I have returned your favor."

  Since she had already agreed to intervene in this matter, Cao Meifen was naturally someone who could be taken away. Lin Qingyao took a look and saw that Cao Meifen's injury should heal quickly, but as for the mental blow she received, Lin Qingyao couldn't do anything about it.

  She thought it would be better to send Cao Meifen to her family first, which might help her a bit.

  Xu Kun should have known Lin Qingyao's thoughts, and before Lin Qingyao even asked, he told Lin Qingyao Cao Meifen's home address.

  Cao Mei Fen's home is also located in the old city, a place called Shizi Bridge, and Liu Hutong, not far from where we are going. By car, it will only take about an hour to get there.

  Lin Qingyao drove with Cao Meifen, who was a bit silly and foolish, to Shizi Bridge.

  Shizi Bridge is a typical urban village, with all the houses having their own gates and yards. The walls of the yards are somewhat dilapidated, revealing red bricks, but the road surface is relatively clean, much better than where Gu Lao lives.

  Lin Qingyao supported Cao Meifen and came to the door of a household.

  The gate was closed, Lin Qingyao knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"

  "Who is it." A low and calm male voice came from the courtyard.

  Lin Qingyao thought, the person inside should be Cao Meifen's husband, right? Lin Qingyao hesitated a bit, sending such a Cao Meifen back home, her husband would face what kind of blow?

  "I'm a friend of Meifen, I'll take her back." Lin Qingyao replied loudly, sighing in her heart, hoping that her husband wouldn't be a wolf in sheep's clothing and would take care of Cao Meifen's recovery.

  A sound came from inside the courtyard, like something rolling.

  Just as Lin Qingyao thought the door wouldn't open anymore, the sound of it opening suddenly came.

  "My legs and feet are not very convenient, making our guest wait for a long time." The gentle voice continued.

  He looked down and found that it was a man sitting in a wheelchair. The wheelchair was very old, the wheels seemed to be converted from bicycle wheels, and on it sat a thin man.

  The man was quite young, but his mental state seemed not very good, with sunken eye sockets and a hint of fatigue.

  Lin Qingyao was slightly stunned when she saw this man, the man in front of her... seemed... very familiar...

  Lin Qingyao was thinking rapidly in her own thoughts.
