Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

Seeing that he had been spoken to in this way, the alliance leader immediately became agitated: "Nonsense! I was on an inspection tour! There are so many things to do in the Righteous Alliance. If I don't go and inspect them, what will happen to the others if they have difficulties with their work?"

Lu An looked at the alliance leader and felt that what he said made a lot of sense, but for some reason he couldn't feel any sympathy for him.

A captivating fragrance suddenly wafted in, making Lu An feel lightheaded, as if he had inhaled something intoxicating.

A woman dressed in a charming and alluring manner, with a graceful figure, swayed her hips as she walked in. She brought in a Taoist robe covered in strawberry prints and the scent of perfume, and placed it on the table: "Alliance Leader, this is your Taoist robe. I've brought it back for you!"

The silence that followed was deafening.

The alliance leader's lips twitched slightly, and Yu Wanqing's expression gradually turned ashen.

But in terms of sheer terror, Ling Hongyue is the one. If Ling Hongyue hadn't already been tied up, Lu An estimated that she could have directly killed the alliance leader.

Ling Hongyue's face was also ashen, but her furious expression made it seem as if she was about to tear the alliance leader to shreds.

Ling Hongyue roared, "Zhao Jijie, you beast! What have I ever done to you?! How dare you go to the Hehuan Sect?!"

Ling Hongyue was like a tigress chained up; if she weren't bound, she would have to be reincarnated to cultivate again.

"This is slander! These aren't my clothes! I've never even been to the Hehuan Sect! Take them away! Who do you think you are!?"

"Alliance Leader, the clothes are a small matter, but you can't renege on your debts! Look at these, they're all IOUs you got from the Drunken Dream Pavilion of the Hehuan Sect in Tai'an City!" The woman reached out and took out a large pile of IOUs filled with various debt details from the cleavage of her chest, and placed them on the table.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the alliance reacted like a frightened bird, and hurriedly reached out to snatch it. However, Yu Wanqing's hand speed was clearly superior. In the blink of an eye, she snatched the white bills and began to examine them one by one.

The alliance leader said guiltily, "Daughter, this is an adult matter, you shouldn't..."

Yu Wanqing slapped the alliance leader's hand away, her expression turning quite grim.

Even sitting next to Zhuge Zhi, Lu An could feel the anger hidden beneath her delicate body.

Father-in-law, how can the word "danger" even begin to describe this situation?!

"No, didn't we agree to give it to him privately? What do you mean by this?"

"Alliance Leader, you've owed us for so many years! You keep saying 'next time, next time' all the time. Are we even going to do business together?" The woman had no intention of giving in to the Alliance Leader's authority: "I'm here to collect this debt. If you don't pay, Alliance Leader, next time our Sect Leader will come to our door in person!"

The woman was completely impolite, showing no respect whatsoever, which made the leader feel very embarrassed.

Zhuge Zhi whispered in Lu An's ear, "I heard before that the Alliance Leader likes to go to the Drunken Dream Pavilion of the Hehuan Sect to enjoy himself. I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that it is probably true..."

"I'm just short of money right now, please wait a moment, I'll definitely..."

Yu Wanqing tossed out a storage ring, waved her hand, and said, "Take these spirit stones to pay off the debt. Don't let others laugh at us. Alright, you can leave now."

"Yes, that's enough. Thank you, Alliance Leader Yu! I'll take my leave now!"

The woman sensed the spirit stones in her storage ring, then nodded and left satisfied.

"No, daughter, let me explain...no, let me explain."

The alliance leader wanted to continue explaining, but Yu Wanqing only glanced at her father with an expression of extreme disgust, and then said wearily to Hua Tianyou, "Doctor Hua, can my father's condition be cured?"

Hua Tianyou was stunned: "Alliance Leader? The Alliance Leader is just fond of wine and women, there's nothing that can be cured, just take care of your health. Although you are a cultivator, wine and women are still very harmful!"

Yu Wanqing shook her head and said, "What I mean is, how about we cut off his genitals to solve the problem?"

Excessive sexual activity leads to disaster; shaving is the only way to achieve lasting peace.

Upon hearing this, the men present felt a chill run down their spines, and Lu An even recalled Xia Qinglan's terrifying appearance back then.

Are these all... witches?

Hua Tianyou did not want to answer, but simply waved his hand, signaling him to take Ling Hongyue away.

"Zhao Jijie, you'll die a horrible death! You'll die a horrible death!" Ling Hongyue, her hair disheveled, turned to Lu An and said, "Lu An, don't be so smug! You're a spy! You must be a spy! You can fool the Righteous Alliance, you can fool the Yuan Tian Holy Sect, you can fool my daughter, but you can't fool me! Hahahaha!"

Hua Tianyou looked at the frenzied Ling Hongyue, shook his head and sighed, "It seems the dosage needs to be increased! Alliance Leader Yu, you should come and see your mother when you have time. She may have gone mad while breaking through her cultivation bottleneck in seclusion."

"Thank you for your help, Dr. Hua."

Hua Tianyou waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

Even as Ling Hongyue was being carried away, she kept muttering that Lu An was an undercover agent, that Li Podao had sent him to infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Sect in a play, and that even the sect's own members were unaware that he had come to infiltrate.

"Li Podao is a woman! He's not a man! He's a woman! He's Liyuehua! Lu An is an undercover agent, you have to believe me! Believe me!"

Ling Hongyue was carried away on a stretcher. Her hoarse voice seemed to make her words sound true, but no one believed her.

After all, no matter how convincingly someone claims to be mentally ill, who would believe them?

"It seems that Madam has really gone mad, even saying that Elder Lu is an undercover agent."

"Yes, and they even said that Elder Lu was cooperating with that mad demonic cultivator Li Podao in a charade. It's ridiculous!"

"Yes, they even said that Li Podao is a woman. How could Li Podao be a woman? That's why they say someone is mentally ill!"

Lu An breathed a sigh of relief as he observed the reactions of the others.

I almost thought I was about to be exposed, but thankfully everyone thought she was mentally ill.

But this mentally ill person's words are so logical and well-founded, aren't they?

"I am truly sorry for neglecting everyone today," Yu Wanqing said, bowing respectfully. "So, what are your thoughts on Elder Lu, that is, Lu An's joining our Righteous Path Alliance?"

"Since the alliance leader has agreed, we naturally agree as well!"

"agreed, agreed!"

"Agreed! Time to go home!"

Chapter 121 I can fulfill all your needs!

After receiving the token from the Righteous Alliance, Lu An finally ended today's absurd interview and returned to the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect.

According to Yu Wanqing, as long as he joins the Righteous Alliance, he will soon be assigned some tasks. Of course, whether he does them or not is his own business, but his ranking will depend on how well he completes the tasks.

It's time for some serious grinding again, this is killing me!

What kind of mission does he have? He's only good at lying low and doing nothing!

However, what happened to Yu Wanqing's mother today really startled him; she was so accurate.

She almost got exposed, but luckily everyone thought she was mentally ill.

If you want others to disbelieve what you say, you'd only do that if you were mentally ill.

Hehehe, since nothing's wrong, we should naturally celebrate.

So Lu An lay down on the recliner, intending to have a nice nap.

The scenery at Yuxu Peak is quite nice; it's a great place to relax.

If there's no undercover mission, why not just switch jobs?

Alas, it's a pity he's not truly strong, and I wonder when he'll reach the true Tribulation Transcending stage.

And what was that Gu again? Was it the Heart-Eating Gu? He really was a demonic leader; he even used a Gu on him before he left. How wicked!

Moreover, he was still very worried about his own strength. For example, could his full-force attack, which was at the seventh level of the Golden Core stage, be considered a normal Golden Core stage attack?

He still remembered that Li Podao had said his full-force attack was no different from that of a ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator.

His strength in crossing realms in the opposite direction is truly worthy of being a true disciple of the number one sect in the demonic path. I am proud of myself.

Lu An lay there for several days in a row, feeling very comfortable. It was wonderful to be undisturbed.

Lu An felt that wasting time was not right, so he also practiced it, which was the most basic Qi-guiding technique.

As he channeled spiritual energy into his body, it flowed like a warm current throughout his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

In the past, someone would help him lie down, but today was clearly different; he had to do everything himself.

Another day of reminiscing about the days when my master helped me level up.

He summoned the Azure Sword, but for some reason, Lu An felt that the sword seemed to have lost its spirit; it didn't even react when he touched it.

His own master hasn't been looking for him much, but that's good, it's good to be quiet.

What could be better than a peaceful and stable retirement?

"Elder Lu, this is so comfortable. It's so nice to lie here."

"Well, life should be taken slowly. If you live a long life, you shouldn't be so hasty!"

Lu An brewed himself a pot of tea, poured it into a cup, blew on it lightly, and drank it.

It's so moisturizing!

But who was the person who just asked the question?

Lu An turned his head, and his body stiffened the moment he saw the person.

"Long time no see, Elder Lu. You've been living a very leisurely life!"

Xia Qinglan tossed her long, black hair, then slowly walked to Lu An's side and placed her hands on his shoulders.

Lu An felt as if he had been electrocuted, and almost jumped off the armchair.

Lu An stiffly turned his head and looked at Xia Qinglan, saying, "It's...it's Alliance Leader Xia. What brings you here?"

Damn it, what's this guy doing here? Did I do anything to her? I didn't give her my address last time either!

My luck is absolutely terrible.

"I'm here to ask you, where exactly is the Liyue Flower? And what is your relationship with the Liyue Flower?"

Upon hearing this, Lu An's heart skipped a beat.

Why is it this question again? Can you ask a different question?

Xia Qinglan whispered in Lu An's ear, "Elder Lu, let's talk this out. I was just asking a question, why are you so nervous?"

Lu An laughed and said, "Nervous? I'm not nervous at all!"

Damn it, how can I say I'm nervous when you ask me that?

Are you sure you don't have to be polite?

"Okay, so where is Liyuehua? I've inquired, and you said she's your aunt, right?"

"...Yes, but I don't know where she is either, and who did you ask her about it from?"

“Shen Xuzi, the sect leader of Yuantian Holy Sect!” Xia Qinglan patted Lu An on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already threatened him. He won’t reveal that she is Liyuehua. No one knows about your relationship with Liyuehua except you, me, and him.”

Lu An was a little confused, but he quickly understood what Xia Qinglan was talking about.

Indeed, I hadn't even thought of that, but you did. You're more meticulous than me.

If Xia Qinglan hadn't brought it up, he would have almost forgotten that Li Yuehua was a scumbag woman in the demonic path.

Moreover, she appeared before Shen Xuzi, and Shen Xuzi learned that she was from the Liyue Flower. If he were to tell the Righteous Alliance, then his words would certainly be believed by some.

Then he'll be in big trouble, having to explain to a bunch of people what his relationship with Li Yuehua is and why she appeared at Yuan Tian Sheng Zong.

At that point, there would be no way to defend myself, given my close relationship with the scumbag woman from the novel; it would be very troublesome.

But it's not a big problem; at worst, you can just say you were threatened.

In critical moments, smearing others and playing the victim are both very useful tactics.

If the truth comes out, then we can only ask our master to suffer in silence.

However, the name Liyue Flower doesn't sound very prestigious, but since we're already so swarming, we don't care if we get a lot of dirty water thrown at us.

Do villains care about having a lot of dirt on them? As long as people think it's your doing, even if it wasn't you, they'll believe it was.

Xia Qinglan whispered in Lu An's ear, "So you can tell me without worry where Li Yuehua is, right?"

Lu An didn't say anything, just kept drinking his tea.

He didn't know how to answer, so he could only silently drink his tea.

This is his undercover experience, which he learned during the interview with the Righteous Alliance: if there is something you don't know and don't know how to answer, then respond with silence!

They'll fill in the blanks themselves!

The more I remain silent, the more room they will fill in the blanks in their minds!

Seeing that Lu An did not answer, Xia Qinglan said, "If you tell me, I will grant you one request! Anything is fine with me!"

Upon hearing this, Lu An's hand holding the teacup visibly trembled, but he still did not reply.

However, Xia Qinglan noticed this small gesture.

A smile then appeared on Xia Qinglan's lips.
