I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

His affectionate little chuckle sent shivers down Ye Qinghan and the others' spines. Their Fifth Elder was a smiling tiger, and compared to the Third Elder, who could beat them up in a heartbeat when he got angry, they actually preferred to deal with the seemingly gentle Fifth Elder.

Ye Qinghan and the others have been in the sect for so long, but they have never heard the Fifth Elder call them "Little Han" or "Little Yi" so warmly.

"What kind of bewitching potion did Ye Qiao give the elder?" Xia Qing rubbed his arms.

Ye Qiao obtained the Fifth Elder's permission, hugged the secret book to her chest, waved, and said, "See you later."

She walked quickly, and she could feel several elders scrutinizing her from behind.

Ye Qiao remained calm and composed, walking steadily towards the edge of the forbidden area. The next step was to reach the forbidden area of ​​his own sect.

"You'd better pray that the secret book she took will be useful." The Third Elder couldn't understand what the Fifth Elder was thinking, actually asking a Nascent Soul cultivator for such a guarantee.

He wore a mocking smile. "Otherwise, given the current precarious state of the sect, her audacious actions would certainly not be tolerated by the other peak masters once they find out."

The Fifth Elder replied casually, "Oh."

Hey, I have to say, learning this tone from Ye Qiao actually works quite well; it made the Third Elder so angry he almost fainted.

"Ye Qinghan, what were you thinking, fooling around with her? Have you all gone through your rebellious phase?" the Fifth Elder asked slowly. Five of them are rebelling; what will become of the sect in the future?

"No," Ye Qinghan said calmly. "I acted on impulse and did it."

He had never been to the forbidden area before, so he was naturally driven by some curiosity. Moreover, that person was Ye Qiao, so following Ye Qiao into the forbidden area was like having a guarantee. So why not go in and have some fun?

"Our forbidden area seems to be alright." Zuo Yi looked at his unharmed senior brother. "Two Nascent Soul cultivators broke in without even getting a scratch. No wonder Ye Qiao and the others can enter the forbidden area like it's home."

Hearing his relaxed and fresh tone, the First Elder's voice was like a bucket of cold water being poured on him, "It's not a problem with the Nascent Soul stage. There are hidden books spying on you, and there's also the threat of restrictions. Even if you send four Nascent Soul stage cultivators, it will still be suicide."

Ye Qiao's ease in this situation stemmed from the fact that she initially possessed the Moon Arrow, and then her concealment skills reached a level that was almost nonexistent.

This made An Shu lower his guard and shift his focus to Ye Qinghan.

"Can you evade the spying of the Dark Book? With so many restrictions, can you ensure you won't be controlled?"

"With your spirit artifact and companions under control, can you precisely sever the medium controlling them?"

Three consecutive soul-searching questions made Zuo Yi completely give up the idea of ​​trying to enter the forbidden area again.

It was precisely because the Grand Elder understood this point that he came to the conclusion that "An Shu's death was not unjust."

……

Ye Qiao walked out of the Sword Inquiry Sect with a flourish, then quickly slipped away like a thief, clutching the Dark Book in her arms. After she came out, she kept clutching her stomach.

The image of Mu Li in his mind caught her reaction: "Does your stomach hurt?"

"No." Ye Qiao clutched her stomach for a moment before replying, "After I came out, I suddenly realized that I had overdone it by showing off."

"Oh, you mean what you said to those old men earlier?" Mu Li said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if you can't bring them out. That smiling tiger was just teasing you."

Few people would expect a group of children to do anything.

Mu Li: "Are you worried about them?"

Ye Qiao: "My master is still with the Demon Clan."

Mu Li was stunned. He didn't expect her to worry about his master's situation. In the months he spent with Ye Qiao, he realized that Ye Qiao was the type who would not do anything without a reason. When there was no interest involved, she only treated him as a tool to be used and discarded.

Then Ye Qiao quickly gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, they had a good time in the Demon Realm and completely dumped the mess on us."

The Changming Sect is short-handed, so it needs its disciples to help handle various matters within the sect.

Because there is no sect leader in the sect, they are sometimes provoked by other sects and have to deal with various emergencies. The First Sect has even more things to do. Occasionally, there will be invasions by the demon and monster races, which require them to assign internal and external disciples to assist them. If the internal and external disciples cannot solve the problem, they will personally take action.

Just thinking about it is enough to make one's heart ache.

These days, who would be a good person to become a disciple? It's even more miserable than when she was working in modern times. At least working in a regular job had days off.

Damn, it's now a perpetual motion machine.

Capitalism would weep at this.

Ye Qiao was overwhelmed with various thoughts, while Mu Li remained silent.

He looked at Ye Qiao, whose resentment seemed to have materialized, and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Then what do you want to do?"

Sometimes you can't use normal logic when communicating with Ye Qiao.

Ye Qiao: "Bring them back from the Demon Realm. If they don't come back, we'll have to handle these things for them."

This kind of happy life without the sect leader is bearable for a few months, but who can endure it for longer?

"Then help me find a body. Preferably one that's easy to control." He muttered to himself twice, his tone somewhat enigmatic. "Speaking of which, you all desperately need the help of a demonic cultivator right now, don't you? As long as you help me find a body, I'll tell you what's inside the demon race. If you want to successfully counter the demon race, you need to dismantle them from within. And right now, no one understands the demon race better than me."

Ye Qiao initially intended to give him a perfunctory answer about next time, but upon hearing his condition, she swallowed the words she was about to say. "You want to find a body?"

Mu Li was speechless: "I remember telling you this a long time ago."

However, she selectively filtered out the fact that the two of them had their own ulterior motives and were each using each other. Ye Qiao kept him around largely because she wanted to get some information out of him, as well as methods for dealing with the demons.

"Just looking for a body," Ye Qiao said readily. "Of course, no problem. After all, I'm the kind of person who likes to help others."

Ye Qiao, who is always ready to help others?

Mu Li's lips twitched violently, then she remained silent.

……

Ye Qiao returned to the sect overnight. The sect was still brightly lit, and the entire Changming Sect was exceptionally strict. Ye Qiao concealed her aura and lightly stepped into the sect. Thinking that she still had to find the traitor hidden among the elders, she simply kept watch on each one.

During the trial, Ye Qiao mastered the art of concealment most skillfully among the Half-Moon Spirit Clan.

After attaching an invisibility talisman, he circled around each of the peaks.

After a whole night of searching and eavesdropping at several peaks, she still hadn't heard any useful information. When she finally arrived at Elder Zhao's residence, she was so tired that she hooked her feet on the door and hung upside down at Elder Zhao's doorway.

A chilly wind blew up the main peak, almost scaring Elder Zhao, an old man, to death.

"Ye Qiao!!!"

He thought it was some inner disciple who had finally lost all patience with the oppressive atmosphere in the sect caused by the demons and had hanged himself at his door.

His breath hitched, and he snapped angrily, "When did you get back?"

Not only did she not inform him of her return beforehand, but she also pretended to be a ghost to scare him; her intentions are truly despicable.

Ye Qiao was jolted awake by his loud, shrewish roar. Seeing that Elder Zhao was about to hit her, she immediately did a nimble somersault and jumped off the door, then slipped away, saying, "Just got back, wrong door."

Watching Ye Qiao move with the agility of a rabbit, Elder Zhao stroked his beard, feeling that his peaceful days were completely over.

Ye Qiao arrived at the main peak just as dawn was breaking. After wandering around the courtyard without finding Zhou Xingyun and the others, she went directly to the back mountain. They liked to hold gatherings there, and they always discussed matters either in the courtyard or on the back mountain.

She quickly found the group of four on the back mountain.
