There is no such person in our Tai Xuan Holy Land!
"Fairy Xiao."
Qi Yuan gave a faint smile and was just about to go forward to greet her when a streak of light suddenly flew across the distant sky and landed in front of the Sunset Glow Courtyard.
The light faded, revealing a female Cultivator in a colorful dress with high-piled hair and flowing sleeves.
The female Cultivator had rosy lips and a fair face, with a straight nose. Her eyes were full of heroic spirit, and the aura around her was surging and cold; she was clearly a Cultivator at the Peak of Soul Transformation.
Most notably, she was carrying a young man who was tied up securely. At this moment, the man wore a green hood on his head, making it difficult to see his appearance... Upon seeing the female Cultivator, Xiao Yueni was first stunned, then asked in confusion:
"Junior Martial Uncle Huo, what is going on?"
Bang!
The female Cultivator surnamed Huo casually threw the man in her hand onto the ground and respectfully replied to Xiao Yueni:
"Saintess, your Subordinate discovered this fellow acting suspiciously while patrolling the outskirts of the mountain gate. He turned and fled upon seeing me; he is clearly a lecher with ulterior motives."
"After capturing him, I found he didn't have an invitation for the celebration. I intended to send this thief to the Law Enforcement Hall for interrogation, but he claimed to be the Senior Brother of the Taixuan Holy Land Dao Child."
"To avoid a misunderstanding, I brought him here for the Fellow Daoists of the Taixuan Holy Land to identify him."
Hearing this, the many Taixuan Holy Land Disciples present looked at each other and turned their gazes toward the captured man.
Damn, it couldn't really be that fellow Lu Changfeng, could it?
Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Taking a closer look, he indeed found that the dusty figure on the ground looked somewhat familiar.
As the Personal Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land's Sect Leader, getting caught red-handed sneaking into someone else's mountain gate would be truly humiliating if word got out... Under the burning gazes of those around him, Lu Changfeng wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and said with an awkward expression:
"Fairy Xiao, what a coincidence that you're here too..."
Xiao Yueni sighed helplessly and waved her hand, saying:
"Junior Martial Uncle Huo, thank you for your hard work this time. Please release him first."
"Alright."
The female Cultivator surnamed Huo flicked her sleeves, releasing the restraints on Lu Changfeng. She then took out a shadow recording talisman from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yueni:
"Saintess, your Subordinate believes this fellow clearly harbors ill intentions toward you. Look, this is what I searched and found on him earlier..."
Holy crap, isn't this the [Linglong Saintess Private Photoshoot] bought at the Hehuan Teahouse?!
Seeing this familiar shadow recording talisman, Qi Yuan was momentarily stunned, and his gaze toward Lu Changfeng became extremely strange.
Good heavens!
This fellow Lu Changfeng is too brave!
To dare carry such a thing with him, and now it had fallen into the hands of the real Linglong Saintess—the scene was simply too "beautiful" to behold... Qi Yuan didn't even dare imagine what would happen next.
Seeing Xiao Yueni take the shadow recording talisman, Lu Changfeng's face twitched violently. He wanted to step forward and snatch it but didn't have the courage, so he could only explain dryly:
"Fairy Xiao, let me explain. It's not what you think. I'm innocent..."
Xiao Yueni ignored him and directly sent a thread of Divine Sense into the shadow recording talisman.
In the next moment, her delicate body suddenly trembled, and her face turned red at a visible speed... It's over!
Everything is freaking ruined!
Seeing this scene, Lu Changfeng went completely numb, his face filled with despair.
After a long silence, Xiao Yueni's Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold, cruel arc formed at the corners of her lips. Her voice was as bone-chillingly cold as the pool of the Nine Serenities:
"Lu. Chang. Feng. Where did you get this shadow recording talisman?"
As she spoke, she raised her slender hand, and the shadow recording talisman in her palm instantly turned into fly ash, disappearing into the air.
Hearing Xiao Yueni's voice through gritted teeth, Lu Changfeng knew he was completely finished this time. He lowered his head and confessed honestly:
"I bought it at the Hehuan Teahouse, but my purpose in buying it then was to keep it as evidence to report it later."
"Fairy Xiao, I can swear to the heavens that I have never carefully looked at the contents of the shadow recording talisman, nor have I done anything inappropriate with the images inside..."
"Joyful Union Sect... Good, very good."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yueni's jade-like face was covered in frost, and the Evil Qi in her words almost solidified.
Just then, the female Cultivator surnamed Huo standing nearby looked at Qi Yuan suspiciously and asked:
"Is this person really a Disciple of your Taixuan Holy Land or not?"
This woman really had to bring up the most awkward subject; if you don't know how to talk, then don't!
Facing this question, Qi Yuan coughed awkwardly and then said with a serious face:
"I've checked; there is absolutely no such person in our Taixuan Holy Land!"
Then, he gave Hall Master Song behind him a look. "Hall Master Song, this person is impersonating a Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land and must have ulterior motives. Take him to the backyard for a thorough interrogation, and do not miss a single clue!"
Song Cheng was first taken aback, but then he immediately understood and nodded. He went up and pinned down the still-dazed Lu Changfeng:
"Little Thief, you actually dare to ruin the reputation of the Taixuan Holy Land. There's definitely someone behind this. Come with me!"
"Hall Master Song, it's me! Don't you recognize me?"
Lu Changfeng still wanted to explain to Xiao Yueni and was naturally unwilling to leave, but facing Song Cheng, who was at the Peak of Void Refining, he had no power to resist and was carried to the backyard.
After a long while, Xiao Yueni slightly regained her composure. She turned to look at the female Cultivator surnamed Huo nearby:
"Junior Martial Uncle Huo, you go back first. Remember not to mention this matter to anyone else."
"Your Subordinate obeys."
The female Cultivator surnamed Huo quickly replied and bowed before retreating.
After she left, Xiao Yueni slowly walked up to Qi Yuan and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Qi, didn't you have something you wanted to discuss with me?"
Qi Yuan nodded quickly and gestured with his hand:
"Let's go inside to talk. Fairy, please."
Xiao Yueni nodded slightly, and then she walked into the main building of the courtyard with Qi Yuan.
As soon as the two were seated, Qi Yuan's expression turned solemn as he slowly said, "Fairy Xiao, it's like this. I have a friend..."
