The Cloudwater Hall, inside the bedroom.
Gu Manzhi knew that Chen Mo and the master needed to talk, so she dragged Ye Henshui to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Ji Lianxing, who finally broke free from their clutches, stood on the table with her hands on her hips, angrily shouting, "For heaven’s sake, I’m a person, not a rag. Go ahead and kiss, but can you not use me to wipe your drool? My body’s all wet now..."
After transforming into a Paperman, she naturally had the characteristic of absorbing water.
Last time Chen Mo used her to wipe ink, she nearly got pickled in it, and even after several baths, she still felt uncomfortable. Thinking about it now, she became furious again.
This guy was clearly being intentionally troublesome!
"Alright, alright, I’ll be careful next time."
Chen Mo lazily leaned against the chair, crossing his legs, "By the way, you haven’t told me yet, why did you take on this form?"
"Well, that’s a long story."
Getting to the point, Ji Lianxing couldn’t be bothered to complain and earnestly said, "That day, after you lured the Demon Lord away, I went to the Demon Suppression Department located in the East Suburb, and it so happened that I ran into Ling Yishan exchanging blows with a bald monk..."
Chen Mo’s eyes flickered, "Are you saying you encountered someone from the Wuwan Temple?"
"Exactly." Ji Lianxing nodded, "That monk didn’t seem very strong, but the prayer beads he carried contained pure Buddha Power, which could temporarily elevate his Realm to First Grade. Combined with the strange methods of the Wuwan Temple, he was very troublesome..."
Hearing this, Chen Mo understood.
Indeed, it was just like the old case with that monk Shi Yun.
It seemed the problem wasn’t with Hui Neng, the key was those Buddha Beads.
"And then? You just watched as Ling Yishan got injured and didn’t lend a hand?" Chen Mo frowned.
Ji Lianxing righteously replied, "You only told me to protect Ling Ningzhi, not that old man, besides I could tell that the bald monk didn’t really dare to strike fatal blows, otherwise none of those Tributors would have survived."
Hui Neng’s objective for this trip was clear, just to obtain Dragon Qi, and there was no need for unnecessary slaughter.
Moreover, the Demon Suppression Department is an official institution, if he started a massacre, it would be tantamount to declaring war against the court, and the Wuwan Temple couldn’t bear such severe consequences.
"But luckily I didn’t intervene, otherwise there wouldn’t have been a major discovery afterwards." Ji Lianxing blinked mysteriously and said, "I guarantee you’ll be interested in this matter."
Hearing this, Chen Mo became curious, "What did you discover?"
Ji Lianxing instinctively lowered her voice, "After that bald monk left the Demon Suppression Department, he was searching for something all over the city and eventually went into a secluded residence, slipping through a crack in the ground and into the depths below."
"I quietly followed him, and found a deep well, with a stone tablet on it, then he used a Magic Artifact to absorb the purple energy aura from it..."
Chen Mo shook his head to interrupt, "The court already knows about this matter, it’s no secret."
The Empress had already informed him about Hui Neng opening the Array Hub and stealing Dragon Qi.
"Really?"
