When I went back, my elder brother laughed at me repeatedly, which was really frustrating.”

“This,” Sun Yingying twirled a strand of hair around her fingertip, “is the rule of Wohuan Valley.

The places with ‘drunken’ in their names are contact points.

I am the local Wohuan Valley Leader, and indeed the shopkeeper of this contact point.

My grandmother is under my control too, but she’s in charge of the information trade.

There are many classified messages that I can’t access because I’m too young.

Ultimately, I also conceal some of my cultivation level for self-protection.”

Li Ping’an asked, “What is your true cultivation level?”

“Is this your first question?”

“No.”

“Then you should decide first,” Sun Yingying leaned forward a bit more, her body almost sprawled out, “do you want me to call you Big Brother Wenqing, or Second Brother Mo?”

Li Ping’an: …

“Just call me Wenqing.

I am much younger than you, and my cultivation realm is far inferior to yours.”

“Well,” Sun Yingying blinked, “Big Brother Wenqing…”

“Enough, enough, let’s talk business,” Li Ping’an, with a cold expression, continued, “Last time, the way I secretly tipped off the Wanyun Sect turned out quite well, but when I got back, my brother scolded me.

He actually wanted to use the issue with the Blood Fiend Hall to sell a few favors to the big shots of the Eastern Alliance.”

Sun Yingying nodded repeatedly: “I have reported this matter to the higher-ups, and they want me to fully support you and your brother, trying to maintain a good relationship with the Eastern Alliance.

This is indeed a good thing.”

Li Ping’an asked, “May I ask now?”

“Of course.”

“Any news about the Blood Fiend Hall recently?”

“Yes, there is.

The ‘Fiery Rolling Fiend’ appeared a few days ago, about three thousand miles east from here, under the sea!

There’s a Dark Alley there, not very large, an ancient cave left from the past, and it has already gathered quite a few demon creatures.”

Sun Yingying smiled:

“Big Brother Wenqing, you might not know, but after the Blood Fiend Hall lost two of its Fiends, a Golden Immortal Realm Vice Hall Master even came to settle accounts with me.

“He was quite domineering, threatening to take my life several times.

I haven’t heard of any demon cultivators daring to harm a contact person of Wohuan Valley.

Not to mention, even Azure Sea Pavilion buys batches of information from us.”

“Moreover, this Vice Hall Master was so stingy, he gave me three bundles of Spirit Stones, asked two questions, and then even took the Spirit Stones back!”

Sun Yingying clenched her little fists and huffed, “This Blood Fiend Hall really thinks too highly of itself!

Really, it made me so angry that I didn’t eat for several days!”

Li Ping’an frowned and asked, “You haven’t mastered the art of inedia?”

“Well, I like eating desserts, especially osmanthus cakes and glutinous rice cakes.”

Sun Yingying blinked:

“Is this the second question?

Then it’s my turn to ask.”

“Big Brother Wenqing, how did you deal with that blood-robed old man last time?

“He was of the True Immortal Realm and was adept at using poison, which was quite troublesome.

I heard from those who reported back that you finished him off with just a sidestep, and they didn’t even see how you did it.”

Li Ping’an nodded slightly, feeling truly baffled.

He really couldn’t tell whether Sun Yingying was genuinely interested in Mo Wenqing or deliberately using this to probe him.

This question seemed casual but directly pointed to the secret of his identity.

Li Ping’an spoke slowly, “He had his way with poisons, and I had my divine weapons.

This matter isn’t suitable for discussion with outsiders.”

“Tch,” Sun Yingying sighed softly, “Okay then, I’m still an outsider.”

“What else?” Li Ping’an glared at her with annoyance, “Now it’s my turn to ask.

Besides the whereabouts of the Fiery Rolling Fiend, is there any other news related to Dong’an City?”

“Let me think…

Big Brother Wenqing, you’re good at evading questions, asking such broad ones.”

Sun Yingying pondered briefly, then smiled:

“Three Golden Immortals from the Wanyun Sect are in seclusion.

Yuan Sect’s Golden Immortal Ancestor Xu Sheng has come for reinforcement.

I’ve also heard that the Golden Immortal Ancestor from Tianyuan Gate intends to make a move.

Just two hours ago, he made a statement.

“Daoist Zhan Yuan said if there’s anything Ping’an needs, the old man will rush to your aid.”

“Moreover, when the Wanyun Sect took action against the two Fiends last time, massive cloud-like formations appeared in the backyard of Tuoba Han, which matched the highly talked-about Blast Cloud Pills.

This technique is also very similar to that of Li Ping’an.”

“Li Ping’an is quite capable.

With deep understanding and ability to influence others, according to the information we have, he’s skilled in poisons and formations and has meticulous thoughts.

Perhaps on the night when the double Fiends were taken down, he was hiding in a corner watching.”

On the surface, Li Ping’an remained composed, but he felt puzzled inside.

Was Wohuan Valley’s secret probing technique really that strong?

It seemed that the layers of disguise he used on a daily basis were far from sufficient.

Suddenly, Sun Yingying spoke again, “About this Li Ping’an, there’s been another incident recently.

A few days ago, there was a flurry of messages from the Western Continent, saying…

Hahaha!”

She started laughing again.

Li Ping’an asked, “Saying what?”

“They say Li Ping’an is the illegitimate son of Xuanyuan Huangdi!

Haha!

If the Great Wealth Immortal hears about it, I wonder if he would go and fight those demon creatures desperately!”

“Is that true?” Li Ping’an looked skeptical.

“Of course not!”

Sun Yingying laughed:

“It’s just rumor-mongering by someone with an agenda.

“We in Wohuan Valley investigated; the Great Wealth Immortal and the deep-rooted Immortal-to-be father and son lived by hunting in the mountains.

It was Li Ping’an who encountered the Taoist temple of Chen Gongmin, a Wanyun Sect freelancer, while hunting, and befriended him.

“Ever since then, the father and son gained their opportunity.

With Li Ping’an’s exceptional wit, he managed to grasp the situation to his advantage.

Through Chen Gongmin’s connections, he established a family business in the mundane world.

“Thanks to this, he managed to join the Wanyun Sect as an external disciple at the age of over twenty.

Who would have expected it to take a turn on the day of the talent test?

No one imagined that Li Ping’an’s father, Li Dazhi, would turn out to be the Great Fate Holder of our Human Race for this era, and was taken in as the Wanyun Sect’s founder’s personal disciple.

Since then, the fortunes of father and son soared.”
