Not long after.

Li Dehua pushed open the door to the reception room, where a young man with a righteous face and slightly dark skin stood up to greet him.

"I am Bao Rui, a disciple of the Enforcement Hall of the Yunxia Sect. I greet you, fellow Daoist."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Li Chengxuan, and I greet Fellow Daoist Bao."

The two exchanged greetings and then sat down.

Instead of explaining his purpose, Bao Rui took out a letter and said, "This was written by my aunt, who is also my senior sister, Li Xiyue."

"aunt?"

Li Chengxuan was slightly surprised, then took the letter and began to read it.

The handwriting is elegant and graceful, revealing the person as a person of refined character and gentle heart.

"Nephew Chengxuan, are you well? It's been a long time. I wonder... Junior Brother Bao Rui is an upright man who is investigating the case of missing rogue cultivators in Qinghefang Market. If you have the ability, you can help him out... But remember to act within your means. If you encounter difficulties, you should prioritize your own safety."

Finally, if you have some free time, you can visit the Cloud Mist Sect; it's been a long time since we last met.

"So it's Aunt Xiyue," Li Chengxuan thought to himself.

This is a long story. Several decades ago, a member of the Li family, whose generation was called "Chang," joined the Yunxia Sect. Before his death, he adopted an orphan girl, who was Li Xiyue.

In terms of seniority, Li Xiyue belongs to the De generation of the clan, so it's not wrong for him to call her aunt.

However, this woman had been cultivating at the Yunxia Sect for a long time and had not visited the Li family often. In his memory, he had only seen her two or three times, so he did not react immediately.

"What does Fellow Daoist Bao want to know?"

Lee Seung-hyun put the letter away and asked.

Since this relationship exists, there's nothing wrong with helping the other party appropriately; of course, it should be appropriate.

Bao Rui remained in no hurry to explain his purpose, simply chuckling, "Fellow Daoist, are you aware that on my way to the market, I happened to encounter a robbery where cultivators were killing and robbing? I happened to rescue the cultivator who was being robbed."

"These two people are a man and a woman, one named Huang Zicheng and the other named Zhao Caiwei. The cultivator who attacked them was masked, but I was able to deduce his information based on the sect's records. This cultivator is named Dai Dalong."

At this point, Bao Rui's expression became slightly serious. "It just so happens that Fellow Daoist Li knows all three of these people."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengxuan's mind raced, and he vaguely guessed the other party's intentions, but he feigned doubt and asked, "I don't quite understand what Fellow Daoist Bao means?"

"Then I'll be frank. Bao came to Qinghe Market for two reasons: first, to arrest those who robbed and repaired the goods, and second, to arrest the 'market's moles' who colluded with them."

"According to the information I have, Huang Zicheng should be Dai Dalong's mole. This attack was not an accident. It was Huang Zicheng who lured Zhao Caiwei and the others out of the city, and then killed them and stole their treasure."

"It's just that I arrived in time and saved Zhao Caiwei. Of course, you could also say that Zhao Caiwei was deliberately left behind by Huang Zicheng, since he couldn't be the only one returning to the city after leaving the market."

Bao Rui paused here, giving Li Chengxuan time to react.

"Oh, so Fellow Daoist Huang actually colluded with Tribulation Cultivators? That's truly unbelievable!"

Li Chengxuan feigned surprise.

"You already knew, didn't you?"

Bao Rui smiled faintly and asked in return.

"Fellow Daoist Li, let's be frank. I'm going to arrest Dai and Huang and bring them to justice. That way, you can finally get your revenge."

"You should know that Dai Dalong was one of the robbers who attacked two merchant caravans in Huangfeng Valley. It was probably around that time that Dai and Huang made contact."

"However, I won't lie to you, Dai Dalong probably only killed members of the Huang family, and no one from your Li family died at his hands."

At this point, Li Chengxuan understood completely, and said, "So, fellow Daoist hopes that I will approach Huang Zicheng and then lure Dai Dalong out."

"Exactly! If we don't catch him in the act, how can we punish Wong Tze-shing?"

Bao Rui affirmed.

"I heard that Huang Zicheng's uncle, the head of the Huang family, recently broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. I imagine such a person is no small figure in the Yunxia Sect."

Li Chengxuan deliberately frowned.

"So what? Even if they are juniors of Core Formation cultivators, I've arrested them before," Bao Rui said frankly.

"Brother Bao, I'm sorry, but I cannot agree to your plan under the current circumstances," Li Chengxuan said frankly.

"Two years ago, Huang Zicheng invited you to go out of the market. If you had gone then, what would have happened? Don't you want revenge?" he asked seriously.

"I have my own way," Li Chengxuan shook his head.

He knew that Huang Zicheng had ulterior motives towards him, and he would definitely get his revenge when he found an opportunity, preferably by killing him. But he had to do it secretly and make sure no one knew.

He doesn't care about anything else; he just wants to bring them to justice, punish them according to the law, identify them, and then kill them.

"Alright then, if you change your mind, please contact me immediately."

Bao Rui sighed and turned to leave.

Watching the other person's retreating figure, Li Chengxuan murmured to himself, "He's a remarkable person."

......

That night.

Within the residence.

"thump!"

A tall, slender female cultivator in a long pink dress knelt on one knee, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Thank you so much, young master, for saving my life."

This woman was Chun Tao, a maidservant from the Five Blessings Merchant Guild. After Manager Xue returned home during the day, he informed her that Li Chengxuan had pleaded for her.

"No need for that. Just do your job well in the future."

Li Chengxuan said calmly.

This is a complicated matter. If it weren't for him, Manager Xue wouldn't have planned to kill Chun Tao. But it was also he who spoke up and saved Chun Tao, while also elevating her status.

To everyone's surprise, Chun Tao shook her head. Her logic was different from Li Chengxuan's. After all, as a lowly cultivator, she was used to seeing the high and mighty young masters of noble families.

She once had a close friend, but because of a trivial matter, she offended a core member of the Liu family and was eventually raped and murdered by him.

Even with her limited understanding, she could tell that Li Chengxuan was now of a higher status than that Liu family member from before.

Therefore, in her opinion, it would be normal for Li Chengxuan to watch her die without saying anything. But she never expected that Li Chengxuan would actually plead for Manager Xue for her sake.

After all, the cultivation world has no shortage of low-level rogue cultivators, and her life has never been worth much.

"Young master, I have nothing to repay you with, except that my appearance is still somewhat outstanding. I hope you will not find it offensive."

Spring peach and pear blossoms, glistening with rain, slowly shed their finery.

"I only said this to ask you to run errands between the two sides; I had no other intention."

Lee Seung-hyun spoke frankly.

"I know, but I am willing to offer myself to you, young master. You can rest assured that I am finished. This time, I only offer myself and dare not ask for anything else."

"If you need me in the future, please feel free to call me over."

Chuntao slowly approached, her eyes sparkling.

Now that they've come this far, what else can Li Chengxuan say? Anyway, he always adheres to the three no's principle, which suits him perfectly at this moment.

That night.

The moon sways, the bed sways, and I sway.

Sometimes joyful sounds could be heard, and sometimes pleas for mercy could be heard.

A night of springtime bliss, how delightful! The pleasures of it all are too numerous to describe.
