Back within the domain of the Nan Hong Seven Sons, even the matter involving the slaying of Dragon Descendants seemed no longer a cause for concern.
Moreover, they couldn’t show any signs of being overly anxious.
They needed to avoid giving away any hints to certain individuals.
Just as the treasure ship had barely entered the Qingyue Bas-relief, it came to a halt again.
Liu Shiqian shifted his gaze to the side, while Liu Qianyun timidly buried her head.
Chi Yang squeezed out a slightly awkward smile, "Ha."
The person clad in a snowy white robe threaded with Golden Thread, adorned with the Qingyue patterns, had his identity revealed through his attire.
Qingyue Daozi Bai Wu was a youth who appeared somewhat feminine and not as upright as Wei Yuanzhou, nor as unbending as Su Hongxiu.
He seemed extremely mild, giving off the impression of being easy to talk to.
His lips parted slightly, his voice soft and gentle, "Elder Chi, Elder Liu, could you tell Bai Wu what you are up to? Of course, I’m just inquiring—if it’s inconvenient for you, you don’t have to say."
"Chi Yang greets Daozi."
Chi Yang nodded genially and discreetly sent a message to Liu Shiqian through their Dao Plates, "This sissy is still so annoyingly wishy-washy, damn it’s irritating. Why assign him the title of Daozi, they might as well appoint him the ’Qingyue Fairy’."
"Reasonable," Liu Shiqian replied without changing his expression through the Dao Plate.
"What should we do? Your turn?" Chi Yang Elder teased with winks and gestures.
Liu Shiqian nodded slightly, forcibly standing up and meticulously completing the salute before speaking indifferently, "I mind."
He was a man who greatly respected rules.
However, there was no rule in the sect that required the elders to report everything to the Daozi.
Moreover, since the issue between Elder Ke Si and the Pure Moon Sect was settled, with no grudges remaining, there was no need to say more, lest it created a rift in Daozi’s mind.
Bai Wu was taken aback.
He stared at the two elders, falling silent for a long while before finally waving his sleeve, taking out his own Dao Plate and shaking it, "How strange, it seems my device is broken. Your Dao Plates keep lighting up, but mine doesn’t make a sound."
Having said that, he turned and walked away, laughing lightly, "All this Daozi business, I should go ask the Sect Master for a different one, one that the two Elders find more pleasing to the eye."
"Tsk tsk," Chi Yang Elder rolled his eyes.
It was the same act every time. In his view, the Pure Moon Sect was bound to come to an end sooner or later.
He signaled Liu Qianyun to fall back first.
Only then did the two elders retract the Qingyue Treasure Ship and ride the clouds toward Bamboo Tower.
Just then, another sinister voice transmitted across the sky.
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention, if you two mind, then should something happen later, please don’t come looking for me."
As the voice faded, Chi Yang spat in annoyance, "Who would look for you."
However, Liu Shiqian halted in his tracks, looking up at the sky.
It was true that Daozi’s words were unpleasant to hear, but he had a good heart, and the intention behind his words... was clearly a warning to them. He seemed to have anticipated some kind of trouble ahead.
And he was also indicating that they could seek him out when the time came.
What trouble could it be?
Liu Shiqian slowly exhaled and turned to look outside the sect.
Bai Wu wasn’t too devoted to cultivation. Despite having the talent and foundation to glimpse the Four Cities, he had barely managed to open the third one until now.
However, he was particularly interested in probing for news and engaging in gossip.
That was why they were reluctant to waste words with him previously. With such a small matter, the other party must have known before coming to find them, yet he was here asking questions pretentiously.
This sudden reminder was surely not without basis.
That the internal spy had already sent the evidence to the Dragon Palace?
No, that wasn’t right. If that were the case, Elder Ke Si should not be looking for them, but would have gone directly to the Nanyang Sect in an open and aboveboard manner.
"Daozi, please wait."
Liu Shiqian raised his hand slightly.
A figure could be seen standing with his hands behind his back, facing away from them, and he had actually created the illusion that his voice was drifting farther away a moment ago.
"What, you don’t mind anymore?"
Bai Wu raised an eyebrow, casting a sidelong glance down at them, smacking his lips, "But I still have to find the Sect Master to get a new Dao Plate, to avoid offending your eyes. It seems I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense."
