"Taoran! Does this matter really have nothing to do with you? Others may not know how that child's father went missing, but we do!"
"I have emphasized this many tis! I have no clue about this matter either! Furthermore, you have always known about my experints, and you are well aware of any results and progress. If I had really researched sothing, do you think I am the type of person to hide it? Why would I hide sothing that concerns the entire Vidyadhara?"
"As for the only successful unique specin currently in existence, it's not like you don't know where it is! If I had really managed to successfully replicate it, how could you not know?"
"We have already compared it with the Luofu DNA database together with the Balance Commission, and we didn't find the maternal genetic map."
"The bounty we posted has only yielded so ambiguous news so far. There isn't a single accurate lead. If this continues, all clues will only be lost as ti passes."
"What about the people from the Garden of Recollection?! How could they miss sothing that involves the rise and fall of a race, and even concerns the mories of the already vanished Permanence? Where are these mokeepers?"
"I don't know. So far, there is no news in this regard. However, there is a traveler on the Path of Rembrance in the Luofu recently, who is said to be a chef who can use emotions in cooking."
"A chef? Is he reliable?"
"Do you think any Pathstrider with so ability, walking on a Path, is normal?"
"...Fine. Does this chef have any background? If he's just a Pathstrider with so minor skills, can we silence him after we learn everything we need to know?"
"Not really. He has a very good relationship with the Divination Commission, and he's likely still at the Alchemy Commission treating the Master Diviner right now. Although there are rumors that his relationship with the General is sowhat subtle, it's really not feasible to silence him right now."
"Then use an official invitation, offer a reward, and have him co to check the origin of this child."
"Next, now that the Vidyadhara may have found new hope, should we continue to contact the people from the Disciples of Sanctus dicus? Or should we go directly to the General and explain everything?"
"It's too hasty right now. Let's first find a way to determine the specifics of this child's situation. If the miracle that happened to this child can be replicated, then the Disciples of Sanctus dicus have no value, and we need to make a clean break with them."
"I have led this matter the most. My traces are everywhere, and the experints were basically all led by . If the Vidyadhara truly usher in a new tomorrow, then let take all the sins and darkness to the grave."
"...Taoran, you've worked hard all these years."
Caelus looked at Jing Yuan, who was smiling obsequiously in front of him, said nothing, stepped aside to make room, allowed him to enter the house, and then closed the door.
"Mr. Caelus, I apologize again for my previous inappropriate remarks, as well as my groundless questioning and suspicion."
"Hmm."
"Very well. I have co to you in secret because I want to understand what exactly happened last night. I wonder what Mr. Caelus requires to pay in order to be willing to tell ?"
As he spoke, Jing Yuan laid out various docunts and files from his hand onto the table. Inside were various materials, all peripheral and minor things, yet they were just enough to lead Caelus into a position worthy of suspicion.
"Mr. Caelus, although the source of these materials has been sowhat obscured, it is certain that they basically co from the Alchemy Commission. Have you offended the Alchemy Commission, Mr. Caelus? Or do you have a conflict with the Vidyadhara?"
Caelus glanced briefly at those docunts and files, then nodded. He already knew Dan Shu's attitude.
Then, Caelus recounted the matter regarding Dan Shu exactly as it had happened. After finishing, he said to Jing Yuan in front of him, "Including last night's incident, it was her doing, only I stopped it. Whether you believe what I say or not is up to you. I don't have any evidence, nor will I debate with you. As for what to do next? You decide for yourself."
Jing Yuan sat there, frowning. After thinking for a long while, he sighed. Having learned about the special dicinal pills containing the Luminflux Marrow, and knowing that the headquarters of the Disciples of Sanctus dicus was the Alchemy Commission, he already knew whose shadow was behind this. However, regarding the news about the Stellaron, he had no leads at all right now.
Those guys had gone to great lengths to transport the Stellaron into the Luofu. There must be a reason. After all, although they could use the Stellaron to cause a temporary disturbance, that would ultimately only subject the Luofu to so unrest, not cause any huge losses, and would also completely expose their existence as a result.
These dark figures hiding in the shadows would absolutely not expose themselves so easily. They must have made preparations to destroy the entire Xianzhou Luofu before gradually revealing themselves, and the Stellaron must be the key to it.
"Thank you for informing , sir. However, before we part ways, I still have one question I would like to ask."
Jing Yuan looked at the young man before him, who seed to have rather detached emotions and no expression on his face, and said, "In fact, the reason I have always been filled with a certain wariness and probing toward you, sir, is because I have always faintly sensed a kind of danger from you that even makes uneasy. Although it is very faint, it does exist, which is why I have always been on guard. You shouldn't just be a simple follower of the Path of Rembrance, should you?"
"Hmm, I also have the powers of four other Paths: Nihility, The Finality, Abundance, and Equilibrium."
The smile on Jing Yuan's face vanished.
He looked at the young man before him, who, despite his detached emotions, appeared in every respect to be a normal person.
"Moreover, in a sense, I can be considered to have crawled out of Nihility. Whether I should be classified as a Sanguine Sin-Spirit or a Self-Annihilator, I am not even sure myself."
"Hmm? General Jing Yuan, why are you sweating?"
"Ah! Um, I still have official business to attend to, so it's not convenient to continue our chat. Regarding the later compensation and the reward for the information provided, they will be delivered one by one. Inside, there are many past events unknown to ordinary people, as well as so Light Cones from the Garden of Recollection. Additionally, if there are any difficulties on the Xianzhou later on, please make sure to co to , sir. Please, this can also be considered my apology for what I have done in the past. If you encounter any trouble, please do co to ."
After saying this, Jing Yuan left quickly without looking back, unable to help wiping the sweat from his forehead as he walked.
A person walking on the Path of Nihility was not actually terrifying.
But a Pathstrider who claid to have crawled out of Nihility, possessed five Paths, and acted just like a normal person in daily life...
Jing Yuan felt that a danger greater than a Stellaron had appeared.
