He Kao hurriedly stepped forward to greet, and Li Xiuyuan asked, "I just received your ssage last night, and now you seek out before dawn. Is there an ergency situation?"
He Kao: "It's not exactly an ergency, but I just confird that a Tier Five Heart Stealer from the Xiao Alliance nad Hillary has arrived in Qi Yuan, secretly spying and investigating , and I have scared her away..."
He explained what had happened just now without withholding any details.
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly and said, "Waking up in the middle of the night just for this? Couldn't you have told during the day... Besides, it's quite normal for soone to investigate you, isn't it? You're quite suspicious yourself!"
He Kao was rendered speechless by Elder Li's words and didn't know how to respond.
Elder Li asked again, "Does it an no one can secretly watch you even for a mont?"
He Kao: "Uh, that's not what I ant, but I feel..."
Li Xiuyuan interrupted him, "Think about it from another angle. What if you are the bad guy?"
This was practically sophistry, and He Kao retorted, "Whose side are you on? How did I beco the bad guy?"
Li Xiuyuan: "I didn't say you are the bad guy, but from an observer's perspective, what if there's a possibility?
Don't forget, you've done a lot of spying on others, uncovering many wrongdoers... But before you thoroughly investigate, how do you know the other party is bad?"
He Kao spread his hands: "If you're going to talk like this, then I have nothing to say."
Li Xiuyuan laughed again: "I'm just telling you, this is nothing unusual. It's sothing you've been facing and will continue to face."
He Kao: "So, are we just going to let it be, allowing Xiao Alliance's experts to keep pulling tricks on in Eastern Country?"
Li Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "Of course not, but to be honest, this is your personal matter, at least temporarily.
Whenever soone encounters this kind of situation, the first thing to do is try to solve it by oneself. If it can't be resolved, you can explain the reason and seek help from the sect.
Also, if you find the situation suspicious, it's more prudent to report promptly to the sect and inform other mbers... That way, if sothing happens, at least there will be clues for the sect to investigate."
He Kao: "Alright, I'm reporting the situation to the sect now. This person's conduct is very suspicious, and the Ancestral Hall should take note."
Li Xiuyuan simply looked at him without speaking.
He Kao: "Why are you looking at like this?"
Li Xiuyuan exaggeratedly said: "Thank you for discovering the situation and promptly informing . A Tier Five Heart Stealer, such a terrifying expert, who will the Ancestral Hall send to Qi Yuan to investigate? Surely it won't be , right?"
He Kao: "How could we trouble you? I'll handle it myself!"
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Hmm, very good! Since you understand, why wake up in the middle of the night?
You must know, there are only seven elders in the Ancestral Hall, Elder Jiang is in seclusion, i Guyu works in Qi Yuan, and another elder must stay in Phoenix Tail Town. At most, four can be spared.
These four people are very busy, so should an elder be dispatched personally to monitor any Tier Five cultivator that appears? Yet we still don't know their intentions, and must an elder watch them during als and sleep?
You're Hidden Moth with Tier Five cultivation, and you are based in Qi Yuan, and they are targeting you. Who should be responsible for this?
If you can't handle it and want help, you can go to i Wenhua, or ask i Guyu; they both live in the sa place as you!"
He Kao said quietly: "I just thought I should inform you, as so situations are difficult to explain to others."
Li Xiuyuan: "Informing is proper, but you don't need to call here in the middle of the night." He pondered and reminded, "Xiao Kao, you must prove sooner or later that you can handle things on your own. We're all watching you."
He Kao returned ho from Dragon Scale Slope, sitting in a daze. The situation earlier was sowhat unexpected, like hitting two soft nails in a row.
According to his judgnt, Hu Weidong should be very concerned about this matter, otherwise, he wouldn't have compiled Hillary's information so quickly.
Therefore, once He Kao confird Hillary's identity, he imdiately inford Hu Weidong, hoping that Hu Weidong would handle this person. Unexpectedly, although Hu Weidong expressed thanks, he had no intention of taking action.
Hu Weidong had already provided intelligence support in consideration of their cooperation.
Then, He Kao sought out Elder Li, only to be t with so stern comnts from the senior. Apparently, he wasn't very satisfied with He Kao's response.
He Kao realized he made a mistake; when soone is weak, they should learn to borrow influence; using stronger forces can better protect oneself.
Several elders have high expectations for him, protecting him with care... Over ti, he unconsciously ford a certain path dependency, imdiately thinking of ways to call for help whenever sothing seed off, always managing to call on elder-level experts.
This is typical weakling thinking, almost like an overgrown infant ntality, always assuming soone more powerful will cover for one in any situation.
He Kao's current cultivation nearly reaches Tier Five Perfection, making him one of the top cultivators below the elders, and he is Hidden Moth with a slew of mysterious divine techniques.
Additionally, he possesses the Rainfall Divine Sword, Four Seasons Flower Screen, Moth Wings, Shadow Mirror, Hidden Moth Gauze, Ten Thousand Woods Rejuvenation Array Plate, a plethora of magical treasures suitable for both offense and defense, capable of fighting, fleeing, disguising, and hiding, being ard to the teeth.
Yet his mindset hasn't adjusted, still marked by habitual weakling thinking, not truly realizing he's now a strong figure expected to stand alone, unable to think of clinging to others when encountering problems. He himself is already a sturdy trunk for others to cling to.
