Zhou Qing was taken aback, his Divine Sense gently extending outward, only then he saw a middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back outside the courtyard.
Li Bin, Mid-stage Divinity Transformation Realm, Director of the Spirit Field Departnt.
He rembered back when he was still in Foundation Establishnt, the Deputy Director Cao Wei of the Spirit Field Departnt almost assassinated him and Yan within the sect.
Fortunately, Elder Gao Xuan appeared just in ti and saved them.
As for Gu Tao, he was the Cangyan Daoist Palace's spy, acting because, after the Five Sects Treasure Exchange Gathering, core disciples from the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect and others went missing.
He and others were ordered to go out searching, and during the night, they recognized Sister Shi Zhen, which thwarted Cangyan Daoist Palace's plans, thus bearing them a grudge.
Zhou Qing imdiately opened the courtyard door, paid his respects, and asked, "Uncle Li, may I ask why you are looking for ?"
Li Bin glanced around, lowered his voice, and said, "Junior Sect Leader, there's sothing I'm not sure whether to say or not?"
Zhou Qing replied calmly, "Uncle Li, there's nothing that shouldn't be said."
Li Bin showed hesitation, then gritted his teeth, saying, "You know my duties involve feeding all the disciples of Taiqing Sect. I've just returned from Cyan Wood City this ti."
"But just this afternoon, when passing Fla Dragon City, I saw soone who looked extrely like Luo Lingling, your Second Sister."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's face showed joy: "Second Sister is back? But wait, Fla Dragon City is right at the foot of our Taiqing Sect, why didn't she contact ?"
Half a day's journey, the core disciple's Communication Token should suffice.
Seeing this, Li Bin hurriedly explained: "I rely found her similar. She was wearing rags like a beggar, and seed to have a la leg."
"I intended to approach and identify her better, but just after turning a corner, she vanished."
Zhou Qing's expression instantly darkened.
Li Bin continued, "Further, I felt soone might be secretly watching her. Perhaps her Storage Bag was taken, or she might have unspeakable troubles, not daring to contact us."
Instantly, a palpable killing intent emanated from Zhou Qing, his eyes becoming grim and cold, staring straight at Li Bin.
Li Bin sensed danger and quickly waved his hands to soothe him: "Perhaps I was mistaken."
"I initially wanted to discuss with Peak Master Mo, but he has been in a retreat for over a year, and Sect Leader is busy with affairs. Thinking it through, I decided to inform you."
"I understand your intentions. Uncle Li, do you rember exactly where you saw her?" Zhou Qing suppressed his anger and spoke coldly.
Seeing this, Li Bin quickly said: "Near the marketplace on the west street of Fla Dragon City. I was passing through there. How about I take you there?"
"Thank you!" Zhou Qing said.
Without notifying others, since the authenticity still needed investigation, the two promptly left.
...
Half an hour later, Zhou Qing, who was initially hurrying, suddenly cald down, feeling sothing was off.
Second Sister is in the Divinity Transformation Realm, not just any ordinary recluse, with a genuinely kind White Crane accompanying her.
Besides, she has various life-saving ans like the Life Replacent Talisman, Paperman Avatar, and others, how could she be at the doorstep of their mountain gate, yet have no chance to call for help?
In truth, Second Sister holds a special place in his heart, like a real sister, hence he lost his composure montarily.
Just as he planned to ask Li Bin for more detailed information, he inadvertently noticed Li Bin's slightly nervous deanor, even sneaking glances at him occasionally.
Zhou Qing suddenly beca alert, imdiately halting his steps, his expression filled with suspicion, tightly staring at Li Bin, his Spiritual Power quietly circulating to prevent unexpected events.
"Junior Sect Leader, what's wrong? With our pace, we're almost there!"
Under the moonlight, seeing Zhou Qing suddenly stop, Li Bin's face flashed an imperceptible hint of panic, but quickly replaced it with a concerned expression, querying.
Zhou Qing didn't answer, his eyes like cold stars, intently fixed on Li Bin.
Under this gaze, Li Bin inexplicably felt a mistaken impression.
In a trance, the person before him was no longer the usually gentle Junior Sect Leader, but rather seed like facing the imposing Sect Leader, causing a chill to rise in his heart.
"Almost there."
Li Bin felt uneasy being stared at, his eyes dodging, attempting to pull at the corners of his mouth, forcing a smile.
Zhou Qing seed oblivious, slowly speaking: "Uncle Li, ever since I joined Taiqing Sect, I've heard you toil for sect's affairs, how long have you actually been in Taiqing Sect?"
"Wha- what do you an?" Li Bin reflexively asked, his voice unconsciously rising.
Yet Zhou Qing noticed sweat unexpectedly forming on his forehead.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing felt a surge of disappointnt inside.
"Who is your master? Like the forr Deputy Director Gu Tao, serving Sikong Yan?" Zhou Qing asked coldly.
Li Bin stood dumbfounded on the Flying Sword, staring at Zhou Qing, his expression instantly freezing.
Whizz Whizz Whizz!
At the next mont, four sudden gusts sounded.
Subsequently, four white-haired elderly won, wrapped in imposing Spiritual Power, stepped out from void.
"I told you, Taiqing Sect's future Junior Sect Leader isn't easily fooled, yet you refused to believe."
One elderly woman sized up Zhou Qing, her eyes flashing with admiration, first speaking.
Zhou Qing's heart tightened, instantly wielding Tetanus, its sword hum resonant, Thunder Arc sparkling.
Afterward, his vigilant gaze turned to the four elderly won, clasping his hands in salute: "So it's the four seniors from Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, if seniors have dispatches, simply notifying would suffice, why bother with such trouble."
