Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The old man couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing Yu Changsheng's words.

"Nonsense, where else would I be if not here?"

After saying that, he continued to sit in his chair and ignored Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng felt somewhat helpless; sometimes it was troublesome for others to know him.

But sometimes, it's a problem when others don't recognize you.

"Hehe, old sir, let's talk this out. Why be like this?"

The old man said irritably, "Everyone else has gone to play, and I'm the only one left here. How can you be irritated?"

Yu Changsheng said with a wry smile, "Sir, you've misunderstood. The others were all called away for interrogation."

"What do you mean, 'went out to play'?"

The old man said, "Being called in for interrogation is still better than staying in this wretched place forever!"

"How about we switch places? You stay here and watch over things for decades, and I get arrested and whatever?"

Yu Changsheng was also helpless with this old man.

However, since he needed their help, he patiently said:

"Sir, I just want to ask one question, and I'll leave immediately afterward."

"If you ask for something of value, I'm willing to pay a fee."

Upon hearing that there was payment, the old man finally managed to straighten up.

"Ask whatever you want. Go ahead and ask while I'm in a good mood."

Yu Changsheng asked, "Have you noticed any unfamiliar faces coming to this place where spirit birds are kept these past few days?"

The old man retorted, "What do you mean?"

"I just want to know, have any strangers come to this place recently?"

"If so, please inform us truthfully, sir."

The old man frowned, waved his hand, and said, "I don't know."

Yu Changsheng's expression gradually changed. He didn't care about what the old man had done before.

However, if this aspect is concealed, the situation will be completely different.

"Sir, saying this now won't have any impact on you."

"Please think about it again and see if there's anything you've overlooked."

The old man stared at Yu Changsheng for a long while, then snorted coldly:

"So many people come here every day, how can I possibly remember what everyone looks like?"

Yu Changsheng said, "We don't need to pay attention to people who come every day. Just tell us if any unfamiliar faces came here before the incident."

After thinking for a moment, the old man recalled and said, "I wasn't very familiar with the people who came here that day; there were only two."

Yu Changsheng immediately asked, "Which two people?"

"One of them is Elder Wu Xuan's son, named Wu Qilu, while I don't know the other one. The two came together."

Yu Changsheng asked, "Have those two never been here before?"

"Then why have you come here today?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I can't say anymore."

Yu Changsheng asked, puzzled, "Why? Could it be that those two people stopped you from speaking?"

The old man ignored Yu Changsheng and returned to his seat.

Anyway, he had already answered all the questions Yu Changsheng had asked.

He naturally wouldn't utter a single word about things he shouldn't say.

"Elder Wu Xuan?"

In Yu Changsheng's mind, he also recalled the names of all the elders.

Yu Changsheng didn't have a very deep impression of Elder Wu Xuan.

Although the two had worked together many times, Elder Wu Xuan rarely spoke.

Naturally, this also meant that Yu Changsheng had no memory of it.

However, similarly, Yu Changsheng should not have offended the entire Wu Xuan Elder.

"Could it be that Wang Donghai secretly bribed Elder Wu Xuan to send someone to kill me?"

Yu Changsheng frowned and asked, "Besides you, me, and Wu Xuan's son, who knows about this?"

"Does anyone else know?"

The old man said, "Many people came here that day, and quite a few people saw those two. If you want to ask about anything else, go ask other people."

"Alright, alright, you should hurry up and leave, don't keep me from getting to work."

Yu Changsheng looked at the old man sitting blankly in the chair and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of work do you do?"

However, she also knew that the old man was just afraid to offend Elder Wu Xuan, and didn't recognize her.

I didn't intend to make things difficult for him any further.

In any case, quite a few people saw the two of them that day, and almost all of them were arrested and interrogated.

We should be able to get some information from Elder Wei; all Yu Changsheng needs to do is go and give him a heads-up.

Inside the sect's main hall.

The hundreds of disciples had all been gathered here.

These disciples are still confused about what has happened and look completely bewildered.

"Why did you call us here?"

"Could something have happened within the sect?"

"Sigh, I didn't do anything, can you please let me go?"

"What exactly does Old Wei want? Why did he specifically call us here?"

Master Wei ordered his men to disperse all the disciples.

They were each taken to a separate room for interrogation.

Such behavior caused considerable panic among many disciples.

At this moment, Yu Changsheng also arrived at the sect's main hall and immediately sought out Elder Wei.

He informed Mr. Wei and others of his discovery.

Old Wei was also taken aback when he heard this.

"You mean, Elder Wu Xuan has a problem?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head. "I can't completely guarantee whether Elder Wu Xuan has any problems."

"In short, we must first summon Elder Wu Xuan to discuss this matter. To avoid alerting the enemy, it would be best to also summon the other elders."

"In case a fight really breaks out, the other elders can come to our aid."

"As for Wu Xuan's son, Wu Qilu, we can send a few people to keep an eye on him first. If they find out anything, it won't be too late to take action against him."

Yu Changsheng knew that Wu Qilu's cultivation level was relatively average and he wasn't a big problem.

On the contrary, it is the person close to Wu Qilu whose identity is still unknown, but who may be the one who actually made the move.

Elder Wei nodded and first sent someone to invite several elders to discuss the matter.

Then, he had several experts from the sect secretly keep an eye on Wu Qilu to prevent him from escaping.

The Wu family.

Wu Xuan was still sitting in his seat, drinking tea and looking at the list of names in his hand.

At this moment, a figure flew over quickly and reported: "Reporting to the Elder, Elder Wei has summoned all the elders to discuss matters together."

"Oh?"

Wu Xuan looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Old Wei summoned me. Did he say what it was about?"

The figure shook his head and said, "It hasn't been said yet, but I heard that something happened at Yu Changsheng's cave. It seems to have been attacked."

"Yu Changsheng, when did he get back?"

"And the cave was attacked! Such a big thing, how come I didn't hear anything about it? When did it happen?"

The figure said, "This happened just recently. Everyone at the scene has been detained and interrogated. We are investigating what happened."

Wu Xuan slowly stood up.

He was also pondering this matter, as he had not received any prior notice.

"Did the other elders go too?"

"That's Elder Wei's meaning; all the elders should discuss this matter."

Wu Xuan nodded and said, "Alright, let me pack up and I'll go right away."

Just as Wu Xuan was about to leave, she saw a figure rushing towards her at the door, his face covered in sweat.

Upon seeing this person, Wu Xuan smiled and said, "Qi Lu, where did you run off to in such a panic again?"

The visitor was none other than Wu Xuan's son, Wu Qilu.

Wu Qilu glanced at the person beside him and quickly asked:

"Father, where are you going?"

Wu Xuan asked in confusion, "We're going to a meeting in the sect's main hall. I wonder what Elder Wei is going to do? What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly concerned about these things today?"

Seeing this, the people around them wisely stepped back and left the room.

The two were left alone in the house.

Upon seeing this person's behavior, Wu Xuan immediately realized what was happening.

"What trouble have you caused me this time?"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Father, what did Old Master Wei want to do with you this time?"

Wu Xuan, his face ashen, said, "How should I know? What exactly did you do? Tell me now!"

Wu Qilu also stammered, unsure of how to begin.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xuan became even more certain of his suspicions and was immediately filled with rage.

"You little rascal, aren't you going to talk?"

"If you don't talk now, don't expect me to save you this time! You're on your own!"

Wu Qilu turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down, saying:

"Father, I was wrong, please save me."

"I went to the Lingqin Temple, but I never expected that such a thing would happen there."

"That cave dwelling of Yu Changsheng was definitely not destroyed by me!"

Wu Xuan let out a long sigh and asked, "Where did you go and what were you doing?"

Wu Qilu lowered his head and said, "Your child, your child is..."

"What is it?"

Wu Qilu hesitated for a moment, then said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I'm going to see Chunniang."

"What?"

Wu Xuan was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath. Chunniang was a courtesan from a nearby town.

How could someone like that possibly enter the Myriad Manifestations Sect?

This is definitely something that must not be allowed.

However, that scoundrel son of his actually brought a courtesan into the sect.

That's utterly despicable.

Fortunately, this matter wasn't too serious, and it wasn't difficult for an elder to handle.

The problem is that at the same time, another major event occurred.

Unfortunately, Wu Qilu got involved, which made things even more complicated.

"Are you sure you didn't tamper with Yu Changsheng's cave? Explain yourself clearly, or I can't save you!"

Wu Qilu also said with a wronged expression:

"How could I dare to do such a thing? This was absolutely not my doing. I beg you, Father, to investigate thoroughly and clear my name."

"Sigh, get up!"

Wu Xuan sighed. In any case, Wu Qilu didn't do this, so it's alright.

However, a heated debate is inevitable, and it's uncertain whether the explanation will be clear enough.

"What about that courtesan named Chunniang?"

Wu Qilu said, "It has already been sent back."

"You! You're really causing me trouble."

Wu Xuan said, "How did she get into the sect? And how did she get back? Explain yourself clearly."

Wu Qilu had no choice but to confess one by one: "Every time the sect sends in a new spirit bird, I will arrange for a disciple to secretly transport Chunniang here."

"They'll only stay here for a day, then secretly be transported out with the spirit bird team that's being sent out."

"But today's events happened so suddenly, and I was afraid that this matter would be exposed, so I had Chunniang sent away in advance."

Wu Xuan pointed at Wu Qilu, also furious.

Now, Chunniang is the only one who can prove that Wu Qilu was not the murderer involved in this matter.

As it turned out, Wu Qilu actually sent the person away himself, and now he doesn't even know how to explain it.

"Bring them back right now! Immediately!"

Wu Qilu said, "Father, why is that? This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Chunniang; she is innocent."

Wu Xuan slapped Wu Qilu across the face with a loud "smack".

"You idiot, now you want to be a knight in shining armor?"

"If you can't explain this clearly, you can forget about your life! This time, you'll have to choose between your life and Chunniang."

"So, which one do you want?"

Wu Qilu hesitated for a moment, but Wu Xuan picked him up and kicked him out the door.

He then instructed his disciples, "Immediately find me a prostitute named Chunniang outside the sect."

"We absolutely cannot afford to fail! Do you understand?"

"yes!"

Soon, a dozen or so skilled disciples were sent out to search.

Under Wu Xuan's threat, Wu Qilu finally revealed Chunniang's whereabouts.

Wu Xuan immediately released a message talisman to transmit the message to the disciple who was searching for the person.

They then ordered that Wu Qilu be kept at home and not allowed to go anywhere else.

He immediately went to the sect's main hall for a meeting.

At this moment, inside the sect's main hall, the other elders had already arrived and were waiting for the meeting to begin.

"Why is Wu Xuan taking so long? Isn't he here yet?"

"Yeah, are you going to make us wait for ages?"

"This is absolutely outrageous."

"Old Wei, if it really doesn't work out, shall we start now? Let's not wait for him any longer."

The elders, who were quite peculiar, had long since grown impatient.

But only Old Wei knew that the most crucial person in this whole affair was Wu Xuan.

However, Wu Xuan has yet to appear, which has only heightened Wei Lao's suspicions.

If it weren't for the people he sent out keeping a close watch on them, Wu Xuan and his son wouldn't have been able to escape.

Old Wei had already sent people to arrest them.

Fortunately, at that moment, the disciple responsible for announcing things at the door suddenly came forward and said:

"Elder Wu Xuan has arrived."

"We've finally arrived."

"The whole of Wu Xuan has kept us waiting for quite a while."

"I wonder what that guy did after he collapsed and disappeared."

Amidst the disapproving gazes of the elders, Wu Xuan hurriedly arrived.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the elders, Wu Xuan had no choice but to apologize:

"I'm so sorry, it added some extra work to my schedule, which is why I'm a little late."

"Elder Wei, what brings you to us? Please speak."

Elder Wei nodded and said, "Regarding the bombing of Yu Changsheng's cave, I'm sure the elders have already heard about it."

"However, I will explain it again here so that everyone knows the whole process."

Old Wei immediately recounted all the details of the matter.

The elders also fully understood what had happened. (End of Chapter)
