It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

After a short two-day rest, once everyone had recovered, they walked up the mountain. The Shaoshi Mountain was bustling with activity!

People coming and going were all swordsmen with knives and swords, and their appearances were all strange and varied.

"This trip was really worthwhile. Putting everything else aside, just look at these people, they've all hit the jackpot. Tell me, how did those guys even grow up to look like that?"

Huang Rong was extremely annoyed and pushed him to Yaoyue's side: "I followed you as soon as I left the island, how would I know? Go ask Sister Yueyue."

"Sister Yueyue" is Huang Rong's nickname for Yaoyue, while Lianxing naturally becomes "Sister Xingxing" in her mouth.

Looking at Zhou Ye who was approaching, Yao Yue also had a look of disgust on her face, but she did not push Zhou Ye away. Instead, she said, "The path of martial arts is profound and unfathomable..."

Zhou Ye interrupted her: "I'm talking to you about looks, what are you talking about martial arts for?"

"Shut up!"

Enraged, Yaoyue reached out and pinched Zhou Ye's mouth shut, physically silencing him, and said, "Martial artists who look strange are either born that way or it's due to the influence of their cultivation methods, so be careful when you encounter people with strange appearances."

"I see."

Zhou Ye nodded in realization. He was a cautious person and also someone who valued his life. In terms of experience in the martial world, Yao Yue was definitely far superior to him. Based on the principle of listening to advice and eating well, he decided that if he ever made an enemy of someone with a strange appearance, he would have to strike first!

Yes! We must take the initiative!

Shaolin is a prestigious sect, and now that a theft has occurred, its management has become even stricter. Not just anyone can enter. As a result, a large number of martial arts practitioners have gathered outside the gates of Shaolin. If you didn't know better, you might think that these people were there to attack Shaolin, rather than to curry favor with it.

"Hey, tell me, how do these people deal with urination and defecation?"

Yaoyue was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhou Ye with a complicated expression. She still couldn't keep up with Zhou Ye's train of thought. It seemed that what this person was focused on was never the main point, but rather some unexpected things.

"Aren't you afraid someone will find out about us?"

Zhou Ye smiled confidently: "Don't worry, it'll remain a mystery."

There were no footprints, no fingerprints, and he even used the convenience of moonwalking to have someone testify that he was in another place when the crime occurred. If someone could still trace this back to him, he couldn't think of any other possibility besides the fact that he had been sexually assaulted.

"My benefactor...should we build a pavilion in a less crowded area?"

Di Yun's legs felt weak. He wouldn't have cared if he didn't know, but now that he did, and even after taking a Great Rejuvenation Pill, he felt incredibly uneasy.

Zhou Ye chuckled: "Ah Yun, today I'll teach you a lesson: if you don't go to the front lines to enjoy the gossip, you'll get no enjoyment at all. Come on, follow me!"

After saying that, Zhou Ye took the lead and walked towards the gate of Shaolin Temple. When the gatekeeper saw them, he bowed and said, "Benefactor, the temple..."

"Master, I am Zhao Yu from the Lingyun Sect. I heard that some thieves dared to break into Shaolin Temple to steal. My master specially sent me here to see if there is anything I can do to help. At least, in terms of lightness skills, our Lingyun Sect is very confident."

After saying that, Zhou Ye gave a wink, and Huang Rong appeared beside him in a flash, like a ghost, and said with a charming smile, "Great monk, we're here to help!"

The monks and the onlookers were all taken aback by that incredible lightness skill...

"Master..." Zhou Ye lowered his voice, so that only he and the head monk could hear him: "I heard about what happened at Shaolin. My master is afraid it was done by a traitor within the sect, which is why he sent me to investigate. If it really is that person, we might be able to help."

The monk nodded after hearing this: "Please wait a moment, benefactor, while I go and inform the abbot."

"Please, Master."

"Are you really not afraid?"

Zhou Ye turned around and smiled slightly at Yao Yue and the others. What did it matter to him, Zhou Ye, what Zhao Yu of Lingyun Sect was like?

When you're out in the world, your identity is something you give yourself; outsiders shouldn't concern themselves with whether that identity is real or fake.

Before long, the monk returned and politely gestured for them to come in, saying, "Please come in, esteemed benefactors."

The claim that Shaolin Temple doesn't accept female guests is complete nonsense. If there hadn't been the theft, then the biggest beneficiaries of Shaolin's incense offerings would be women, and female worshippers are the most generous!

If it weren't for the existence of the system, Zhou Ye might have found a nice place, built a temple, and become a fake monk there. Moreover, the temple would only enshrine Guanyin Bodhisattva. Just for the sake of the four words "Guanyin who grants children," he could have lived a life of ease.

With his mind wandering to random, nonsensical thoughts, Zhou Ye soon arrived at the main hall. Besides the monks, there were people from many other sects present. Ignoring their stares, Zhou Ye walked confidently to the old monk holding a staff: "Master, please take me to the scene of the theft. I want to examine whether it was the work of a traitor from our sect. Also, it would be best if a master could explain the defenses in place that night..."

What is meant by "professional"?

That means getting straight to the point. Not only do you need to check the scene, but you also need to check the defenses. Then, combine the two to find out exactly how the thief entered and how he left, so that you can find clues. Even if you can't confirm the thief's identity, you can at least know which direction he ran in.

Believe it or not, even the old monk's usually placid face was moved after hearing Zhou Ye's words!

It's been so many days. How much Shaolin food have these people in the main hall eaten since they arrived? Before Zhou Ye came, they just kept talking and sometimes even chatted about other things, but not a single one of them has been of any help to the case.

Now a junior has arrived. Although I've never heard of his sect, his attitude is impeccable, and he hit the nail on the head right away!

"Young hero, you're too kind. Why don't you eat first..."

"Don't rush to eat, Master. The longer time goes by, the harder it will be to find clues. Let's get down to business first."

"Alright, alright, alright, young hero, this way please..."

Shang personally led them away because he really didn't want to stay with other people anymore; it was too annoying!

Their brief conversation actually slapped many people in the face, but as a prestigious sect, they didn't show their anger on their faces. They only remembered one name: Lingyun Sect!

Although it was the first time I had heard of such a sect, it didn't matter. As long as it made a name for itself in the martial arts world, I could find out about it with a simple investigation. Then, I could regain my face through other means, and I could also take the opportunity to frame a few enemies, make them take the blame, and then go and eliminate them.

Win-win!

I won twice!

That's what you call upright!

Of course, some people had their own agendas, while others remained silent in deep thought. Although these people didn't know anything about Lingyun Sect, they did know Yaoyue and Lianxing!

In the martial arts world, the Yihua Palace is neither righteous nor evil, and its position is very ambiguous. So far, no one has set their sights on the Yihua Palace, which means that the two palace masters are very powerful.

But now, the two of them are following behind this unknown young man like timid wives. There's something to say about the Lingyun Sect!

Could it be that Yihua Palace has already been acquired?

The minds of righteous sects are definitely more sophisticated than those of heretics. If they were truly willing to fight, let alone other sects, even Shaolin might not have survived for so long...
