Fairy, please don't do this!

"The most crucial step in the Fushoudan case has been taken; the rest can be left to the Empress Dowager's faction."

"Sister Yiren can now focus on her cultivation and advance to the fifth rank as soon as possible."

Mu Yiren's previous cultivation level was the early stage of the sixth rank of the Divine Path. After more than half a year of cultivation, she is now at the late stage of the sixth rank.

After reaching the sixth rank, each realm is a watershed moment.

To take a step forward, both mindset and comprehension are indispensable.

Those with exceptional talent may break through a minor realm in a few years, while those with average talent may need decades, or even never make any progress in their entire lives.

Someone like Mu Yiren, who broke through two minor realms in half a year, can be considered a prodigy.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yiren felt a warm current flow through her heart: "There is something I need your help with."

Gu Jinzhao stroked the calico cat's soft fur: "What is it?"

Mu Yiren pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The path cultivated in the Dao Realm is divided into two paths: Heaven and Man."

"The Heavenly Path is about severing all emotions and love, and pursuing harmony between humanity and nature."

"Only by understanding the true meaning of the seven emotions in the human world can one transcend the mundane path of life."

Gu Jinzhao paused slightly, lost in thought: "Sister Yiren walks the path of humanity, so she needs to enter into the path of emotion to comprehend the Tao?"

This storyline appears in the game featuring Mu Yiren.

The seven emotions are joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire.

During the process, she will be caught in the fires of the seven emotions, until she comprehends the true meaning and can continue her journey.

Mu Yiren nodded slightly, her gaze falling on his face. "However, before entering the path of love and enlightenment, one must find one's other half and use the predestined fate of marriage to suppress the seven emotions and karmic fire, so as to avoid losing oneself and going astray."

Gu Jinzhao smiled and continued petting the cat: "As Yiren's fiancé, it is my duty to help you with your cultivation."

In the game, the storyline of Mu Yiren entering into enlightenment through love is actually quite interesting, as you can meet seven childhood sweethearts with different personalities.

Xiao Xi is a cheerful but sharp-tongued girl.

A short-tempered and assertive anger.

Xiao Ai, a melancholic young woman...

In the pure love story, his relationship with Mu Yiren rapidly develops here.

'etc!'

'If Sister Yiren gets emotional at this moment, won't things get chaotic?'

Gu Jinzhao's face suddenly froze, and he stopped petting the cat.

This isn't a pure love story anymore; it's a harem story with a hatchet prefix.

Especially now, all five female protagonists have gathered in Yujing.

The house is inhabited by three women: Mu Yiren, Lin Qingci, and Yu Fengzhi.

Yue'e may come to freeload at any time.

And then there's the Empress Dowager in the palace who always wants to see him.

This is an unprecedented crisis.

It's important to know that once Mu Yiren falls in love, she will be dominated by seven different personalities, becoming obsessive, easily impulsive, and prone to doing irrational things.

For example, if Xiao Xi were to face Lin Qingci like she did at the dinner table yesterday, she would laugh and say the most hurtful things, turning her rival into a sieve.

If he were only slightly angry, he would probably flip the table and, without saying a word, shove Lin Qingci onto the ground and rub her against it...

Chapter 202, "You've done well, Miao Nu. You're allowed to serve me tonight!" (3K)

Have you heard?

"The monsters that have been rampaging through the city recently are actually humanoids."

"It seems like he took some kind of pill that can extend lifespan, something like... Longevity Pill!"

"And this Longevity Pill was actually secretly commissioned by the Zhao family's Pill Shop to be sold by the Night Wanderer Pavilion."

"Fortunately, the Buddhist nun from Zhiming Prefecture discovered the secret of the Longevity Pill while capturing that Night Demon; otherwise, I'm afraid countless harmful demons would have appeared in Yujing."

The day after Jing Shu captured Zhao Tianlai and Ye Shaoyou, news of the Longevity Pill spread like wildfire throughout the entire capital.

Teahouses, taverns, street corners, and alleyways were filled with whispers and discussions.

This shows how quickly the Empress Dowager's faction acted.

They were so close to the Zhao family's house that there was no time to react.

So much so that when the Zhao family's alchemy business was shut down by the Vermilion Bird Guard, the entire Zhao family finally woke up to the fact that they had been tricked.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Zhao family's council hall was as heavy as lead.

The hall was brightly lit by candlelight, casting flickering light on the gloomy faces.

An elder with white hair and beard sat in a rosewood chair, his voice deep: "Who on earth is plotting against my Zhao family?"

Another elder added coldly, "News has come from the palace that Zhao Tianlai has been captured by Jing Shu."

"Ye Shaoyou is just bait, only to lure the snake out of its hole."

No one expected the outcome to be like this.

After the Night Wanderer Pavilion was destroyed by the Demon Suppression Division, they sensed something was wrong and hurriedly sent Zhao Tianlai to silence him.

The result was like a lamb entering a tiger's den, never to return.

The Longevity Pill was refined by Zhao Tianlai, while Ye Shaoyou was responsible for selling it secretly.

Now, the matter of taking the elixir to transform into a demon has been completely exposed, with both witnesses and physical evidence.

Given the Empress Dowager's faction's methods, Zhao's Danxing is definitely doomed.

As a result, not only will the refining of the sacred-grade Blood Essence Pill be forced to stop, but all the precious spiritual treasures and pills of various grades in the alchemy shop will be confiscated and added to the Empress Dowager's private treasury.

Another elder suddenly slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups clang: "If it weren't for the Buddhist nun Miaotan going to capture Ye Shaoyou, none of this would have happened!"

"Regarding Zhao Jinbei's matter, it's fine as long as he used my Zhao family."

"This time, they even caused our Zhao family to suffer heavy losses. This is truly outrageous!"

The first elder to speak narrowed his eyes slightly, a glint of light flashing in them: "I suspect that the Buddhist nun did this on purpose."

"Gentlemen, do not forget that after the Zen sect entered the Central Plains, it established many temples in various places and widely accepted believers."

"Therefore, the Zen monks and Buddhist nuns entered the Zhiming Palace to gain fame by slaying demons and monsters."

"Now that Shaoyou has been captured, the story of the Longevity Pill has spread far and wide, and the Buddhist nun is revered by many people as a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering."

"If the Zhao family really falls, wouldn't Zen Realm be able to take over everything from the Zhao family without any problem?"

Upon hearing this, a brief silence fell over the council hall. Several clan elders exchanged glances, their expressions growing increasingly somber.

At this moment, Zhao Linyuan, the head of the Zhao family, who was sitting in the main seat, slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was deep and calm, like a still well. He said indifferently, "Do not make hasty conclusions without evidence."

"His Majesty would not want to see a conflict between the Zhao family and the Chan realm."

The white-haired elder sneered, "So, are we just going to let this matter drop?"

Zhao Linyuan looked up at him: "Everything should be prioritized over the matter of the Saint-grade Blood Essence Pill."

"Only if our ancestor reaches the second rank can our Zhao family overcome this crisis."

Why did the Longevity Pill appear?

Naturally, this was to prolong the life of their ancestor, Zhao Qingcang, whose lifespan was nearing its end.

However, this formula is incomplete and requires continuous improvement and experimentation until a perfect elixir that will not cause demonic transformation and can also extend lifespan is finally produced and presented to Zhao Qingcang for consumption.

To improve and perfect the drug, a large number of people are needed to test it.

Only in this way could they secretly make deals with the Night Wanderer Pavilion.

In this way, the pills can be sold, which can not only make up for the huge expenses of refining the Blood Essence Pill, but also allow the test subjects to improve the pill formula, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Who would have thought that the Night Pavilion would be completely raided?

Ye Shaoyou and Zhao Tianlai were captured at the same time, and the matter of the Longevity Pill was directly exposed to the world.

Clearly, this is the Empress Dowager's faction taking action against the Zhao family.

The purpose was naturally to prevent the birth of the Saint-grade Blood Essence Pill and to prevent the ancestor from smoothly advancing to the second grade.

Zhao Linyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in them: "If I'm not mistaken, the one targeting my Zhao family should be that rising star, the young sword immortal of the Qingyun Sect."

The matter of the Longevity Pill is known only to a few high-ranking members of the Zhao family, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be leaked.

In this way, it is natural that someone within the Demon Suppression Division found clues through the recent monster murder case in Yujing, and finally followed the clues to locate the Night Wanderer Pavilion.

Then, they managed to pry open Ye Shaoyou's mouth and learn about his secret deal with the Zhao family, which is why they set up this scheme.

Within the entire Demon Suppression Division, the only one with this ability is Gu Jinzhao, who is known as the "Detective".

Upon hearing this, the elders' eyes flashed with murderous intent: "This little beast must not be allowed to live!"

Zhao Linyuan tapped the armrest lightly with his fingertips: "Gu Jinzhao has the Phoenix Token, so the Zhao family cannot openly attack him."

"But if you secretly have someone kill him, you will leave traces."

"As long as the person in the Imperial Observatory uses the art of cause and effect to deduce the truth, they will be able to find out the truth."

"At that time, the Empress Dowager can take advantage of the situation and wipe out my Zhao family in one fell swoop."

Many elders looked at him at the same time: "What does the patriarch mean?"

Zhao Linyuan slowly rose, his face expressionless: "Enter the palace to meet His Majesty."

His solution was simple.

Regardless of whether it was the Empress Dowager's faction that was behind it, the Buddhist nun Miaotan is inextricably linked to this matter of the Longevity Elixir.

In addition to the previous death of Zhao Jinbei, Emperor Yongxing would naturally have Chan Jing give an explanation in order to appease the Zhao family.

Of course, the Zhao family could not obtain any actual benefits or compensation from Chan Jing, but they could use him to deal with Gu Jinzhao!

With the Zen Master, who has stepped into the half-step transcendent realm, presiding over the Zen Realm, it fears no power in the world, including the Dao Realm and the Empress Dowager.

Therefore, even if someone were secretly sent to eliminate Gu Jinchao, and the person in the Imperial Observatory deduced something, it would ultimately come to nothing.

……

Night falls at the Gu residence.

The cold moon hung in the sky, and its clear light shone through the window into the bedroom, illuminating a graceful figure dressed in a gray-white monk's robe.

She gazed at the man sitting on the bed, meditating with his eyes closed, her expression slightly complicated.

That night, when the wisp of divine soul in her spiritual realm told her that the master of the Night Wanderer Pavilion was the Night Demon, ranked fourteenth on the Demon List, and asked her to go and capture him, she was somewhat confused.

After all, the owner of this wisp of soul was the "wife" that Gu Jinzhao mentioned.

If that's the case, why would An Wanxi help her by using the act of killing the Night Demon to create momentum for the Zen Realm?

Despite her many doubts, Miao Tan still went to the black market due to the constraints of the [Immortal Control Spell].

That's how the great battle that night came about.

Today, after learning about the [Longevity Pill], she instantly understood the other party's intentions.

This is clearly an attempt to drag Zen Realm into the mess and create a rift between the Zhao family and Zen Realm.

To kill someone with a borrowed knife is to kill two birds with one stone.

"call……"

Gu Jinzhao slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

He used the [Six Elements True Demon Technique] to sacrifice that sixth-grade evil cultivator, allowing his martial arts cultivation to break through to the mid-seventh grade. However, the bloodthirsty desire within him also began to erode his mind, and he could only forcefully suppress it with a strong mental state.

An Wanxi, who had been watching over him, saw him wake up and said softly, "My little husband, Miaonu has something important to report."

Gu Jinchao's gaze fell on Miao Tan, and he said with interest, "It seems that the Zhao family approached Emperor Yongxing because of the matter of the Longevity Pill, asking the Zen Realm to give an explanation."

"If I'm not mistaken, Zen Realm is probably preparing to send someone to attack me, isn't it?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Miao Tan's eyes, then she lowered her gaze and replied in a low voice, "The sect has assigned the Night Patrol Vajra of the Eight Vajras to secretly keep an eye on our master...."
