It's time to become a fairy.

Her expression was serious as she said in a deep voice, "Now that I am in charge of the Demon Suppression Division, there are new tasks and goals. Regardless of how the previous head of the division managed it, everything will now be based on the new rules I have established."

"Next, the sect will be in a period of chaos. In order not to affect the sect's higher-ups and distract them from this matter, I will personally lead a city-wide sweep of ghosts over the next month, with the four branch ministers in charge. Within a month, we will completely eradicate the malignant tumor of the Misty Demon Sect and ensure that Ning City is free from the scourge of ghosts!"

"It was one thing that the Demon Suppression Division was short-handed before, but now that all the staff have returned, no one is allowed to make any excuses. You all know how the previous head of the division resigned. I don't want this to happen again. Do you understand?"

Feng Yumeng's sharp gaze swept over the crowd, and her cultivation at the Transformation Sea Realm erupted, stunning everyone present.

After three days of consolidation, her cultivation had become completely stable, and her aura was incredibly refined, making even the special-grade personnel who had initially underestimated Feng Yumeng due to her age feel awe.

No matter how young Feng Yumeng is, her cultivation level of the Light Transformation Sea Realm is enough to make everyone take her seriously.

Everyone responded loudly in unison, and Feng Yumeng nodded in satisfaction before continuing the meeting.

It wasn't until noon that Feng Yumeng finished delivering her presentation and the meeting concluded.

After leaving the venue and receiving the special work uniform and corresponding certificate belonging to the branch minister from the headquarters logistics, Ye Qingge turned around and saw Yan Yishuang with a complicated expression.

"Congratulations, Minister Ye, on becoming the Minister of the East Branch. I will be working under you from now on... Please give me your guidance."

Yan Yishuang was unsure how to respond, her words tinged with complex emotions.

Ye Qingge smiled slightly and shook her head, saying, "Aunt Yan, there's no need for that. Just call me Xiao Qing in private. I've only just taken this position, and I still need Aunt Yan's guidance in this area."

Yan Yishuang rolled her eyes at her, annoyed, and said, "Just call me Sister Yan. I'm only in my twenties, not that old yet."

Ye Qingge smiled and joked with Yan Yishuang for a few moments, successfully easing Yan Yishuang's complicated feelings about her position. Only then did they board the logistics ship together and begin discussing the handover.

Although Yan Yishuang has stepped down from her position as Minister, she served in that position for quite some time and has far more experience than Ye Qingge.

During the exchange, Ye Qingge received a lot of guidance from Yan Yishuang and gained a great deal.

As they approached the East City branch, Ye Qingge began to steer the conversation toward the numerous exorcism cases that had piled up five years ago. Every branch inevitably had some number of cases piling up.

Yan Yishuang pondered for a moment and said, "There are indeed quite a few cases from five years ago. I remember when I was organizing them before, there were three or four cases from five years ago. What, you've become interested in these old cases?"

"Since you're serving as a minister, you need to have one or two things you can be proud of."

Ye Qingge mumbled.

Yan Yishuang nodded in agreement, without any suspicion, and recalled the past cases, giving a general account of the previous cases.

Under Ye Qingge's guidance, before arriving at the branch, he successfully found a reason to investigate the surveillance footage. Upon arriving at the branch, he held a brief high-level meeting, announced that he would be taking over Yan Yishuang's position as minister, and then used this excuse to obtain the authority to investigate surveillance footage from five years ago.

Although the surveillance in Ningcheng is not as terrifying as in the previous life, there are still surveillance cameras on many major roads. The Demon Suppression Division is different from the Patrol Division. As a special profession that suppresses evil spirits, the Demon Suppression Division has preserved a lot of surveillance footage of adults due to the needs of the profession. As the head of the branch, Ye Qingge could easily investigate the surveillance footage from five years ago with sufficient reason.

On the way to the monitoring room, at a rather secluded corner

Ye Qingge had just turned the corner when an arm patted her shoulder. She instinctively turned around and saw Yan Ye'an standing in the corner, making a shushing gesture at her.

Ye Qingge understood immediately, dismissed the people following her, and walked into a corner, asking in surprise, "Why did you come out? Didn't they say you were grounded again? I heard it was the strictest grounding order ever?"

Yan Ye'an raised his head and said disdainfully, "When can being confined at home ever keep me out? I can come out anytime I want."

Ye Qingge nodded in deep agreement. Judging from the previous incidents, the Yan family's house arrest was questionable in its effectiveness. Yan Ye'an had managed to escape several times, almost causing a major disaster, which led to this strictest house arrest order. Otherwise, he would probably have been released long ago.

After meeting again after half a month, Ye Qingge pondered how to start a conversation, while Yan Ye'an, seemingly lost in thought, lowered his head and remained silent.

A moment of silence fell between the two.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Yan Ye'an took a few deep breaths, suddenly raised his head, took a step forward, and cornered Ye Qingge against the wall. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then... what was the answer you said before you left, that you would tell me when you came back?"

Chapter 100 Mountains and Seas Can Be Flattened: The Yin God Creation Plan

Ye Qingge opened her mouth, wanting to agree, but found that she couldn't utter a word.

If she hadn't experienced things outside the city, and if she didn't have the bloodline of a Navigator, she would have agreed without hesitation. But her experiences outside the city made her aware of her identity and understand the pressure that comes with having the bloodline of a Navigator.

Unlike Yan Ye'an, Ye Qingge had no relatives in the city except her sister. Even if she eventually discovered the truth as she thought and betrayed the Canghui Sect, there would be no problem.

Relying on their Navigator bloodline, survival in the wasteland wasn't difficult for the two. As long as they prepared enough food and ensured their sister's rest, they could always move to other continents to survive. However, Yan Ye'an had deeply rooted herself in Ning City.

Her father is the newly appointed city lord of Ningcheng. As a cultivator at the Central Court Realm, his status in the Canghui Sect is not low, and he also has the powerful Yan family behind him, which is backed by Ningcheng.

Betrayal comes at a tremendous cost.

Ye Qingge could be ruthless and decisive when dealing with enemies, but when it came to Yan Ye'an... she simply couldn't bring herself to let the young girl take such a great risk to follow her.

Countless thoughts surged through her mind, but faced with the girl's sharp gaze, Ye Qingge felt inexplicably unsettled and looked away.

Yan Ye'an keenly sensed Ye Qingge's emotions. She shifted her posture and looked directly into Ye Qingge's eyes, saying, "Don't forget, you promised to tell me the answer when you got back. Look me in the eyes and give me an answer."

Ye Qingge dared not meet her gaze and said, "This would involve a huge risk."

Yan Ye'an replied firmly, "I don't care."

"And it will also risk huge public criticism..."

"Then let's shut up all the gossips!"

"What if one day you find yourself at odds with everyone, surrounded by enemies, with no one left to rely on?"

Ye Qingge's gaze was deep and unfathomable as she gritted her teeth and said, "My beloved is separated by mountains and seas, mountains and seas..."

"All can be settled!"

Yan Ye'an interrupted Ye Qingge without any politeness: "If that day ever comes, then let them all go to hell. You're trying to say that love is separated by mountains and seas, and those mountains and seas cannot be leveled, right? But have you heard the rest of the poem?"

"The sea has boats to cross it, and the mountains have roads to traverse it; with this love, one can conquer mountains and seas, and level them all!"

If Ye Qingge had shown any sign of rejection before leaving the city, Yan Ye'an would have silently given up on her idea and turned away. But during this time, while confined at home, she thought about many things.

During her confinement, apart from her daily routine, Yan Xiuxian arranged for her to have no opportunity to engage in anything other than cultivation. In addition to her cultivation time, she also pondered her true feelings for Ye Qingge.

At the beginning, she had just emerged from the shadow of her previous teammate's death, and she recruited Ye Qingge because of the shortage of manpower in the Demon Suppression Division.

Most people were taken outside Ningcheng to participate in the exploration of ancient relics. Of those who remained, very few joined the Demon Suppression Division, and most already had teammates. The remaining people didn't catch her eye. Ye Qingge was close to her age, which made her want to recruit teammates.

Although Ye Qingge's strength had only just entered the Divine Awakening Realm at the time, it was something that could be cultivated. Being able to cultivate to the Divine Awakening Realm with the conditions of No. 3 Middle School was proof of her talent. Yan Ye'an had no shortage of resources, and half a year was enough to cultivate a qualified teammate.

What truly touched her was when Ye Qingge shielded her from a fatal blow at the villa of Sister Zhou, the former manager of the milk tea shop where Ye Qingge used to work. Ye Qingge, after her transformation into a celestial being, was like a fairy descending to earth, leaving a deep impression on her heart.

At that time, she was mostly grateful and amazed, and wanted to do her best to bring Ye Qingge into her team... But after all that happened, the second time she was rescued from the hands of the evil ghost and her experience in the hospital, she slowly developed other feelings.

While in the hospital, Ye Qingge's actions in saving her sister reminded her of what happened to her previous teammate, which gave her a complicated feeling towards Ye Qingge. However, she couldn't be sure whether she had genuine feelings for her or if other emotional factors were influencing her to have such special thoughts about Ye Qingge.

The subsequent non-existent school trip further complicated Yan Ye'an's feelings. She wanted to tell herself that it was real emotion, but the time they had known each other and experienced together was too short. The feelings evoked by their shared experiences were less about love and more about gratitude for Yan Ye'an. It wasn't until the two weeks of confinement and reflection that she had enough time to sort out her feelings.

Do you need a reason to like someone? No!

"It's enough to know I like it. What's the point of thinking so much?" Yan Ye'an adjusted her emotions, looking at Ye Qingge with a resolute gaze, and said, "Opportunities are fleeting. If you don't seize them, you'll never have another chance. I don't want to drift along with the tide and then regret my past mediocrity. No matter the outcome, I will do my best, so..."

"I like you!"

Ye Qingge was struck dumb, her mind went blank, and her eyes no longer darted away, but stared straight at Yan Ye'an, who responded with a firm look.

Yan Ye'an bit her lower lip tightly, placed her right hand on the wall, and moved her pretty face even closer. They could clearly feel each other's breath, and their eyes met without hesitation, revealing their true feelings completely.

They stared at each other for a good two or three minutes.

Just as Yan Ye'an's anxiety reached its peak, and her eyes began to well up with tears, Ye Qingge's eyes finally cleared, and she smiled, "I understand."

"Since even a beauty like you dares to abandon everything, what do I have to fear? I like you too, but..."

Ye Qingge took a deep breath, and to Yan Ye'an's astonishment, she suddenly pushed forward, grabbing Yan Ye'an's arm with her right hand, giving her no chance to escape, and forced her against the wall. She braced herself against the wall with her left hand, giving her a perfect reverse wall slam. At the same time, she brought her pretty face close to Yan Ye'an's ear and whispered, "Remember next time, let me do the confession!"

What originally prevented Ye Qingge from agreeing was Yan Ye'an's background. Following her meant paying a huge price, making it impossible for her to agree with peace of mind.

But what truly made her understand everything was Yan Ye'an's final confession.

The girl dared to boldly confess her feelings, frankly expressing her intention to be with him wholeheartedly. Having already reached this point, if she were still afraid of this or that, wouldn't she seem incredibly irresponsible?

Yan Ye'an's pretty face flushed red instantly, her mind went blank for a moment, her pupils dilated slightly, and she stammered, "Eh...this...I...this..."

Ye Qingge took the opportunity to peck her flushed cheeks and then distanced herself.

Looking at Yan Ye'an's blushing, shy expression, Ye Qingge smiled with satisfaction. Just as she was about to continue speaking, a message urging her came from her personal crystal brain. She had no choice but to swallow the rest of her words and said, "I just took the position of Minister, and I still have some things to take care of. Let's talk later."

"Uh-huh!"

Yan Ye'an was still a little slow to react, but after Ye Qingge turned around, she suddenly remembered something and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the house for a while... Don't forget, you still owe me a real date!"

"Do not worry."

Ye Qingge turned her head, smiled and waved: "When we all have time together, we'll have dates, movies... everything we need will be there, and we'll be just as good as anyone else."

Yan Ye'an calmed his emotions and said with a burning gaze, "I've remembered everything you said, not a single one can be missing!"

"Not one will be missing!"

Having made a promise to Yan Ye'an, Ye Qingge walked around the corner and practiced the Primordial Breathing Technique several times before calming her turbulent emotions.

While romance is important, Ye Qingge isn't a sentimental person; she's more rational. Understanding her parents' true situation and her own current predicament is clearly more crucial.

Only by understanding their own situation can they develop strategies to cope and make arrangements for the future, so as not to be at a loss and unable to cope when difficulties arise... Only in a quiet and stable environment can the two of them have a future and not have to live a precarious life.

"Now that the relationship is established, we can't go back to the way things were before. We must also take Yan Ye'an's situation into account. We can't break with the Canghui Sect until the very last step. Even if we have to take that last step... we must do everything we can to protect Yan Ye'an's safety!"

She gradually made up her mind, her eyes hardened, and she began to ponder a solution.

In the monitoring room of the East City Demon Suppression Division branch.

Ye Qingge opened the door to the monitoring room. The monitoring room was not small, nearly a hundred square meters. There were desks in front of her and dozens of virtual projection screens in front of her, showing the situation of the East City Demon Suppression Division. Occasionally, at the request of the intelligence department, the monitoring of various areas in the East City would be transferred.

Nine staff members were waiting there early on. Eight of them were dressed in logistics department uniforms and were operating the monitors. Another middle-aged man, who was quite wealthy and had a large belly, was holding a document and directing a young man to investigate the surveillance footage. When he saw Ye Qingge arrive, his eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward, smiling and saying, "Special member Lin An greets Minister Ye."

Ye Qingge nodded. Among the special-grade personnel previously assigned back from headquarters, besides the original department head Yan Yishuang, this middle-aged man was also assigned to the East City Branch because he originally belonged to the East City Branch. Each of the four branches, plus the department head, has three special-grade members stationed there, while the remaining few were assigned to headquarters and personally managed and controlled by Feng Yumeng.

She went to the monitoring room and asked, "How's the monitoring situation going?"

"The transfer has been completed, but during this period five years ago, a crucial piece of highway video footage was lost, which prevented the investigation from proceeding."

Lin An's expression was somewhat strange. He waved his hand, and a young man next to him immediately understood. His hands flew across the keyboard, and in no time, the screen in front of him changed.

Scenes from surveillance footage five years ago were projected onto more than ten screens operated by the young man. The screens were divided into two parts: two-thirds displayed normal surveillance footage, while the remaining third showed something different. Although it was still surveillance content, the image had a greenish tint and lower quality than normal footage, but the recorded content was also different!

Two-thirds of the footage is normal surveillance content, while the remaining greenish-toned area reveals another world. Occasionally, one can see strangely shaped, non-human-like ghosts wandering by. It turns out to be a special surveillance system that can capture ghosts!

"These are cameras that the sect's weapon-refining masters specially installed ten years ago to deal with the increasingly serious situation of ghosts in various cities. They are able to capture the existence of ghosts, but five years ago the relevant technology was not advanced enough, the production of cameras was limited, and the branch in the east of the city had even fewer, so the records of the situation at that time were extremely limited."

"The last footage of the ghost bride case from five years ago in the east of the city, which you mentioned, was shown on this very street!"

Lin An reached out and tapped one of the projected images. The young man quickly started operating the system, returning the speed of the green surveillance video, which had been playing at several times the normal speed, to normal and playing it slowly. He then tapped the keyboard a few more times, adjusting the greenish surveillance content to the street that Lin An was pointing to.

On the screen, a bright red bridal sedan chair sways slowly down the road. In the normal surveillance footage, the scene is at midday, with countless pedestrians coming and going on the street, creating a lively atmosphere. However, the footage captured by another, eerie surveillance camera with a greenish tint shows a completely different picture. The space around the sedan chair has become eerily dark, and pedestrians cannot see its existence at all. Even if the sedan chair were to collide with it, it would simply pass right through the pedestrians, causing little impact.
