Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 28: Those seeking promotion and wealth, please seek elsewhere; those who fear death, do not enter this gate.
Lian Shanxin could hardly believe it.

He felt that there weren't that many demon cultists, and that Qi Wenbin was likely lying about the situation to exonerate himself.

After all, what Qi Wenbin and Du Jiu said was all speculation, and there was no substantial evidence to prove that the Dai family were members of the Demonic Sect.

Of course, people in the "Nine Heavens" are accustomed to presuming guilt, which is not a problem.

This is, after all, the Great Yu, not his previous life, so even Shanxin was able to adapt to local customs.

So he didn't voice his thoughts, but instead nodded: "In that case, Brother Qi, Ninth Brother, let's go to the Dai family together again."

"Okay, I'll lead the way."

Qi Wenbin took the lead and dared not slack off at all.

His ability has already been questioned because he lost track of Dai Yueying.

If he makes another mistake this time, Qi Wenbin feels his future is in jeopardy.

"Wait, we'd better warn the others first. What if the Dai family, like the Qu family, is also a hidden stronghold of a demonic sect? I'm afraid the three of us will be walking into the lion's den," Du Jiu warned.

Lian Shanxin glanced at Du Jiu and once again marveled at Qi Shiyun's accurate judgment.

Du Jiu is indeed more useful than Qi Wenbin.

Not only is he more talented in martial arts, but he is also more meticulous and quick-witted.

But Qi Wenbin also has his uses.

At present, Qi Wenbin seems to be more dull-witted. But as long as he can be loyal in terms of speaking, imitating, teasing, and singing, he can stand firmly by my side.

Only children think that they can get ahead just by being capable.

Adults understand how important the word "loyalty" is.

Before Lian Shanxin could speak, Qi Wenbin said, "No need. I'm certain the Dai family didn't lay an ambush."

Du Jiu thought to himself, "How can you be so sure? If someone is stronger than you and hiding in the shadows, how can you possibly find them?"

However, Lian Shanxin supported Qi Wenbin's view: "Brother Qi is right. The demonic cultists are still in hiding and dare not confront our 'Nine Heavens' head-on. Even if they discover us, they will only run for their lives. Of course, more importantly, if we call too many people, and we end up finding nothing, you and Brother Qi will be in a difficult position. Even if we do discover traces of the demonic cult, if they are just small fry, the credit won't be enough to go around."

Since even Shanxin had said so, Du Jiu naturally couldn't refute it: "Then let's do as you say, sir."

Lian Shanxin nodded.

In fact, he didn't care that much whether Master Dai was a member of a demonic sect or not.

The most important person is Dai Yueying.

As for ambushes...

To achieve great things, you always have to take some risks.

Whether it's marrying the princess or killing her, it's not appropriate for too many people to know beforehand.

Moreover, he had been taking classes with Master Dai for several years and was not only intimately familiar with the Dai family, but also quite familiar with them, so it was indeed difficult for him to feel a great sense of crisis.

However, Lian Shanxin soon realized that he was still too young.

"Master Dai is not at home."

"Dai Yueying isn't home either."

“Perfect timing. Let’s thoroughly search the Dai family’s backyard, paying particular attention to any hidden rooms and checking the cellar as well.”

"And letters, especially on blank paper."

"White paper?"

Lian Shanxin quickly realized the gap between himself, an amateur enthusiast, and a professional player.

Du Jiu quickly showed off his skills in front of him.

In Dai Fuzi's bedroom, Du Jiu found an envelope.

I also saw several blank sheets of paper on the table, with no words on them.

Du Jiu held the white paper in front of him, his nose twitched, and he smelled a peculiar scent. Then he smiled knowingly.

"My lord, it's confirmed. The Dai family is indeed connected to the Demonic Sect." "How are you certain? Is there something on the blank paper?"

Lian Shanxin discerned some clues from Du Jiu's actions.

"Sir, smell this piece of white paper. Do you detect a peculiar smell?"

Lian Shanxin did indeed smell a foul and pungent odor.

And surprisingly, the taste was somewhat familiar to him.

Once he found that familiar feeling, his expression turned strange.

"This seems to be..."

"My lord, your guess is correct. It is indeed the essence of our men's special product. When a secret message is written with the essence of men's special product, it will disappear automatically when written on paper. Only after being heated and roasted can the text gradually appear, and the text that appears will be brown."

Du Jiu lit a tinderbox, placed the white paper on top to heat it, and explained to Lian Shanxin at the same time.

"This is a method invented by the demonic cultists. When it first came out, it caught us off guard. Fortunately, we in 'Nine Heavens' also have experts who, by chance, invented this communication method as well, and through this method, they uncovered several hidden demonic cult spies."

Lianshanxin: "..."

He didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

And then he remembered seeing similar news in his past life, something about how it was invented by MI6? Because of this, many people in MI6 eventually became apprehensive…

Different worlds, same perversion.

There are experts among them.

Master Dai was actually quite a "master".

Looking back, it's been quite an achievement to have managed to stay afloat for the past eighteen years!
While Lian Shan was still feeling apprehensive, Du Jiu had already revealed the words on the white paper.

Then, Du Jiu's expression also turned strange.

"It is so."

"what happened?"

Du Jiu handed the blank paper to Lian Shanxin.

However, Lianshan did not answer.

"Ninth Brother, you can take it. My eyesight is very good."

He was afraid of getting his hands dirty.

He may not dislike his own descendants, but he will find other people's descendants extremely distasteful.

Lian Shanxin stared intently, and then his own expression turned strange.

The letter read as follows:

Your letter has been received.

Dai Yongzhen, don't always ask what the Holy Church has given you, ask what you have done for the Holy Church.
If you're looking for promotion and wealth, go elsewhere; if you're afraid of death, don't enter this gate. This is the lesson you heard on your very first day in the Holy Church. How come you're going back to your old ways as you get older?

Has he turned his back on the Lord for personal gain?

If you truly have many grievances against the Holy Church, the Holy Church will not stop you. The gates of the Jiangzhou Prefectural Governor's Office are always open for you; just go and report to the authorities.

If you still have any loyalty to the Holy Church, then don't bring up the matter of increasing your allowance again. At this difficult time for the Holy Church, everyone must work together to overcome these challenges. You have so much discontent over just a six-month delay in your allowance; Dai Yongzhen, you are a disgrace to our Holy Church.

The Holy Church has given you a place to stand and hasn't asked you to offer tribute; you should be grateful for that. As a disciple of the Holy Church, can't you even support yourself?
Wealth is merely an external thing. As disciples of the Holy Church, we should prioritize the greater good of the Church. We must bide our time and wait for the opportune moment to act!

Also: Take good care of Yueying. If anything happens to her, I will hold you responsible. Don't emphasize the difficulties; I only care about the results.

……

Du Jiu sighed sincerely, "The Demonic Sect truly lives up to its name. They treat people like humans with utter contempt, not even considering disciples like Dai Yongzhen as human beings."

Lian Shanxin also sincerely remarked, "Fortunately, I knew from the beginning that getting promoted and making a fortune required entering the imperial court."
