Chapter 165: Is there someone behind the scenes?
Seeing this, Chen Min and the other three were all stunned.

"Judging from this, these demons don't seem to treat Shen Wanrou that well. Judging from their expressions, they've probably already mentally rehearsed 108 ways to kill her!" Mo Qianxun sighed as she looked at the demon's expression.

"The demons have always been profit-driven. They probably only serve Shen Wanrou because she's still useful to them. Once she's no longer useful, she'll be the next one to suffer. If you're going to negotiate with a tiger, you have to be prepared to face the backlash," Qingfeng sneered.

"But overall, today was pretty good. With this video, we've completed 50% of our mission. It seems that just having this one video isn't enough." Mo Qianxun stroked his chin.

When will your master and the others come out?

"The Golden Sands Secret Realm only lasts for two days, so I estimate we'll be out by tomorrow evening," Qingfeng calculated the time.

"That should be soon. I remember Shen Wanrou obtained a secret manual of evil arts. If we find the manual, wouldn't that mean we've completed half of our mission?"

"It should be possible," Chen Min nodded.

Ling Feng stroked his chin: "I remember you said that Shen Wanrou had killed someone before joining the sect. If someone who knew about this came forward to identify her, wouldn't that be considered evidence to kill her?"

Mo Qianxun nodded: "I think it's possible, but the Qingfeng Ruyi inside her body is always a big problem. As long as the Qingfeng Ruyi exists, Shen Wanrou cannot be killed."

At that moment, 008 suddenly appeared. Seeing the somewhat tense atmosphere in the room, he asked with a puzzled look, "I'm just going out for a bit, what's wrong?"

"The Qingfeng Ruyi within her body has always been a major hidden danger." Mo Qianxun sat in a chair, resting her chin on her hands, looking deep in thought.

[Oh, it's no big deal. Although Qingfeng Ruyi can keep Shen Wanrou immortal, I reckon if it were attracted by the power of the Heavenly Dao, it would willingly abandon this host!]

Mo Qianxun's eyes brightened slightly: "Tell me in detail."

[Unless the host consents, Qingfeng Ruyi cannot be retrieved even if the host is killed. This condition actually has two layers of meaning. On the surface, it means the host consents; on a slightly deeper level, it means Qingfeng Ruyi consents.]

"It...was willing? It has intelligence?"

You don't actually think that something called a sacred object lacks even the most basic sentience, do you?

"But if it has intelligence, wouldn't it know its mission?"

Sometimes, things aren't as they seem. Wait, I'll go find the Heavenly Dao again and borrow something. 008 said, about to leave.

"Wait a minute, can you give me an answer to your question now? What's the situation with Xuanmo?"

[Oh, I almost forgot. It's true that you can't replicate Xuan Mo in that secret realm. Xuan Mo's cultivation is similar to Yuan Jinyue's; he's just one step away from crossing the Dragon Gate and transforming into a golden dragon. If you were to replicate him, the Heavenly Dao would have to expend a lot of its power, gradually draining its own. Naturally, it will conserve its power wherever possible. So, sometimes you should let Xuan Mo come home to visit more often.]

008 can understand the way of Heaven very well; everyone has a period of low energy.

"Sigh, you guys! Fine!" She'll talk to Xuanmo about it later.

008 vanished again with a whoosh.

Seeing this, Ling Feng and Chen Min both thought to themselves that they would definitely award 008 a Best System Award when they got back; they had never seen any other system as busy as it. But in reality, Tiandao, who had just finished cleaning up the mess, felt uneasy seeing 008 approaching again.

"Didn't you just leave? Why are you here again?"

"What's wrong? I came here specifically to chat with you, so you wouldn't get bored and upset." 008 raised an eyebrow and sat down next to it quite naturally.

Tiandao:......

After Mo Qianxun explained the deeper meaning of Qingfeng Ruyi to Qingfeng, Qingfeng paused for two seconds and said, "So, it's actually possible that Shen Wanrou's willingness isn't even necessary. As long as Qingfeng Ruyi is willing to follow my master, it can still break free from Shen Wanrou on its own?"

Mo Qianxun nodded: "That's true."

"But Shen Wanrou has been by my master's side for quite some time. If Qingfeng Ruyi really was originally my master's magic weapon, why is it still in Shen Wanrou's body? Could it be that Qingfeng Ruyi has betrayed us?" Qingfeng clenched his fists. If that's the case, then he might as well not have Qingfeng Ruyi. Anyway, he would protect his master himself.

Seeing the anger on Qingfeng's face, Mo Qianxun was speechless. How come she had never noticed before that Qingfeng was such an easily angered person?

"Relax, there must be some hidden story we don't know about. For example, how did Shen Wanrou's father find Qingfeng Ruyi and how did he obtain it? These things need to be verified, so don't jump to conclusions so early."

"...Chihiro, do you think it's possible that it's because of that person in the mortal palace..." Chen Min stroked her chin.

"You mean her?" The time-traveling woman?

Chen Min nodded: "Actually, I once read a hypothesis in a book that, in the eyes of someone from a higher dimension than me, perhaps the world we live in is a book, or a movie or TV series. That's why there are novels about transmigrating into books or TV series. Perhaps, in her eyes, this world is also a novel."

Mo Qianxun thought of the matter concerning the Jin Dynasty and suddenly felt that Chen Min's guess was somewhat plausible.

"But why would she suddenly interfere in these matters when she has always been the emperor's favorite concubine in the palace?"

"Do you think that if the other person were an ambitious individual, would they really be willing to become a favored empress in a mortal emperor's harem, vying for the attention of a man with many other women, after knowing that there are immortals, demons, and immortality in this world?" In any case, if it were her, she would not be willing.

Mo Qianxun stroked her chin and pondered for a moment: "It seems that we also need to go and meet this favored empress. Wait..." Mo Qianxun suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong? Why are you so startled? What came to mind?"

“Mei’er’s enemy has now entered the palace and become the Imperial Advisor. If the person behind this is really that time-traveling woman, then if the two of them join forces… even with Lou Ye’s help, Mei’er might not be able to outmaneuver them.”

"Sister Mei'er?" Qingfeng looked at her with some confusion. "So, besides my master, you have other customers in this world."

"It's all about survival!"

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about, but if that woman really is behind my master's affair, I will definitely not let her get away with it."
