After arriving at a discreet, quiet location, Mo Lin’s appearance rippled and shifted revealing Yu Xuan once more.
"So," Fairy Luo said coldly, folding her arms as much as the restraints allowed, "are you still continuing this farce?"
One by one, the figures hidden in Yu Xuan’s shadow stepped out.
Number One glanced at Fairy Luo, then sighed.
"She’s pitiful."
" 1."
" 1."
" 1."
Numbers Two, Three, and Four nodded in perfect synchronization.
Fairy Luo nearly choked.
Yu Xuan rubbed his temples, exhaustion creeping into his voice.
"...This play turned out stranger than I expected."
Sotis, reality truly felt like a child’s prank – illogical, ssy, and cruelly ironic.
"What are you even talking about?!" Fairy Luo snapped, utterly lost.
Monts ago, the enforcer who cracked down on the Twin Fairy Pavilion had worn the face of her sworn enemy.
Now that sa man stood before her openly, casually discussing shares and loot.
Her confusion quickly turned into fury.
"You! What exactly are you trying to do?!" she shouted.
"I will report this to the Cultivation Court!"
Yu Xuan waved a hand dismissively.
"Haa... Number Four, explain it to her."
"Yes, Boss."
As they continued walking toward the Discipline Committee Pagoda, Number Four calmly began laying out the situation.
From Yu Xuan’s presence at the pavilion, to Fairy Luo’s impulsive attack, to how a covert operation had accidentally beco an official crackdown.
He really emphasised that they were on a covert operation, not just to watch her show!
Sotis, a hundred lies beca truth.
And sotis, a single truth shattered into a hundred lies.
This was one of those monts.
By the ti the explanation ended, Fairy Luo’s face had turned pale, then red, then dangerously livid.
"So you’re telling ," she hissed, glaring at Yu Xuan, "that you, the real Demon Xuan ca to watch my performance... and everything that happened after was because I lost my temper?!"
Yu Xuan shrugged.
She trembled with rage.
"But why are you even in the Discipline Committee?!" she practically scread.
Yu Xuan thought about it for a second.
"...Who knows?"
That answer nearly broke her Dao heart.
"Boss," Number Three suddenly said, eyes shining, "what about our shares?"
Yu Xuan snorted.
"Hah. Aren’t you being greedy? I’ll give you your portion before I’m deported to the lower realms again."
Number Three imdiately leaned closer.
"Boss... we really need cultivation resources. Maybe an advance on the share—"
"I personally watched you loot every single spirit stone that even faintly shimred. You didn’t even leave scraps for the hamster." Yu Xuan cut in flatly.
"...."
Number Three froze.
For once, he had no rebuttal.
But Yu Xuan had already built an image of absolute credibility, so Number Three could only swallow his grievance and trust him.
After all, money made in Black can’t be bothered to co in Light.
anwhile, Fairy Luo listened to their conversation in stunned silence.
First, they frad her pavilion.
Then they abused authority.
And now—
They even robbed a hamster?!
Her fury reached a brand-new height.
At this point, she wasn’t sure who to hate more.
Yu Xuan... Or the world that kept letting him get away with it.
After traveling for so ti, Yu Xuan and the others finally arrived before the Discipline Committee Pagoda.
Along the way, they had made a brief stop at a nearby UFC outlet and, quite responsibly ate fried chicken.
Now that Yu Xuan thought about it, the girl featured on the UFC banner looked... strangely similar to Bing Xin.
He frowned for half a second, then decisively dismissed the thought.
’Coincidence. Definitely coincidence.’
He decided he would check his quest rewards after dealing with Fairy Luo’s situation.
During their journey, no one dared to bother them.
Yu Xuan had discreetly disguised Fairy Luo’s appearance into that of a frail, ragged old beggar.
As a result, disciples along the way either avoided them or looked away.
Not a single admirer stepped forward.
Because the admirers didn’t know that this fragile criminal was Fairy Luo.
And Yu Xuan didn’t know that doing this avoided quite a lot of the plot. Or... maybe he knew?
But this unsettled Fairy Luo far more than she expected.
Her mind spiraled with increasingly negative thoughts.
Why didn’t anyone stop them?
Where were the people who swore devotion?
Was I... really this insignificant once stripped of status?
Wh Questions flooded her mind.
By the ti they reached the pagoda, her heart had already suffered several invisible cracks.
After dispersing the Numbers, Yu Xuan activated his dallion and sent a ssage.
Receiving confirmation that Bing Xin was free, he headed straight for her office with Fairy Luo.
Inside, Bing Xin sat behind her desk, posture relaxed yet radiating unquestionable authority.
Her gaze flicked once toward Fairy Luo.
Then she spoke calmly.
"First, remove her disguise." Bing Xin said.
Yu Xuan sat in front of her and removed Fairy Luo’s beggar disguise. He was sure that even if he hadn’t removed it, she would have known anyway.
"So what happened this ti for you to seek advice from directly?" Bing Xin asked.
"Committee Head, I wish to lodge an official protest on behalf of the Twin Fairy Pavilion!" Fairy Luo said.
Bing Xin sighed and made a motion for Fairy Luo to be quiet.
Fairy Luo, seeing that cold expression, felt her blood run cold as well. She nodded silently.
"Explain everything in full detail, do not leave out a single thing. I want to know what really happened, not what you wanted to happen," Bing Xin said to Yu Xuan, her tone cold.
Yu Xuan sighed as he began to recall the grudge between himself and Fairy Luo.
After listening to the story, Bing Xin tapped her fingers on the table like a final boss for so ti.
"Crackdown ha..." she said looking at Fairy Luo.
She instinctively knew that, Yu Xuan didn’t do this out of goodwill and sothing important was missing from the story.
So she narrowed her eyes and looked at Yu Xuan for quite so ti.
Because the Idea of crackdown sounded quite pleasing to her ears.
