Their commission was suspicious.

"..."

"Ahem, or perhaps you could find someone to act as your representative and maintain direct contact with the other party?" The old monk flew closer to Chen Luo.

Pick me! Pick me! I just helped you out.

Although it may seem useless now, at least we put in the effort even if we didn't achieve anything.

"Hmm, that makes sense. Let's go with her then." Chen Luo stroked his chin and nodded, then pointed to Ye Yunshang, who was locked in the dark room.

"Huh?" Ye Yunshang was taken aback.

Why are you pointing at me?

“This menopausal woman looks a bit old, but judging by her appearance, she’s probably the youngest among you. So let’s go with her,” Chen Luo said.

"You brat, try calling me 'Auntie' again!" After a moment of stunned silence, Ye Yunshang flew into a rage, reaching out with both hands to grab Chen Luo, only to have them slapped twice by Chen Luo and then retracting her hands.

They only remember the good times, not the bad ones.

"Ouch. You have no chivalry at all. I don't know what you look like, but you probably don't have a girlfriend right now," Ye Yunshang said, rubbing her slightly reddened hands.

"Sorry, although I don't have a girlfriend right now, I'll definitely find one before you do, Auntie." Chen Luo gave her a disdainful look.

Besides, who can't find a girlfriend?

Was it that I couldn't find it? Or was it that I didn't want to look for it?

If I wanted to, I could even create a girlfriend for myself.

How about that? Scared yet?

"In fact, it's not really necessary for you to have someone contact me directly. If you want to find me, you can choose another method."

"What method?" everyone asked.

“Throw things into the river. As long as you are within China’s borders, throw valuable magical artifacts or a large amount of spirit stones into the river, and I will appear once I sense it. My credibility is guaranteed, and I will at least let you get your principal back.” Chen Luo said, pointing at Ye Yunshang and the old monk.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple. But let's make it clear beforehand: you should choose a time that's between midnight and 1 a.m., within that hour. Otherwise, I might not be able to come because I have other things to do," Chen Luo continued.

However, the bar needs to stay open until midnight, and Chen Luo usually goes to bed before 1 a.m., so they don't have much time left.

Otherwise, Chen Luo would likely be in another world at other times and wouldn't hear their summons at all.

"So you really are the river god from the anime? What's so special about the three rings you summoned and the three magical artifacts the old monk had?" Ye Yunshang asked curiously.

“Sorry, it’s a trade secret. By the way, could you leave your phone number?” Chen Luo continued.

"What are you doing? Do you think someone like me, an 'old lady,' would even catch your eye?" Ye Yunshang deliberately covered her chest.

Ye Yunshang harbored a grudge against the old woman Chen Luo had mentioned.

“Auntie, you certainly don’t meet my standards, but I need a channel to communicate with you. If I really find a way to the heavens, wouldn’t I have to inform you? That’s where your role as my representative comes in handy,” Chen Luo said.

"Of course, it's fine if you don't want to be the representative. I feel that this high monk is definitely willing, but you might miss the best time to obtain intelligence then," Chen Luo said nonchalantly.

"Ahem, Benefactor Ye, if you really don't want to..."

"Shut up, you bald monk, or I'll have my disciple beat you up. Um, river god, here's my business card. Remember to call me if you need anything," Ye Yunshang said with a sweet smile.

"No, ma'am, stop pretending to be young, it's blinding!" Chen Luo instinctively covered his eyes.

“...Okay.” Ye Yunshang said with a forced smile.

Although I almost couldn't hold back my smile, I managed to manage it.

"Emmm... Auntie, why are you so patient? You don't have some ulterior motive for me, do you? Let me tell you, my criteria for a partner is a beautiful girl under 30. You're almost as old as my mom," Chen Luo complained.

"...You brat, don't go too far. I've been putting up with you for too long! If it weren't for... Never mind, I'll just grab my business card." Ye Yunshang tossed her business card to Chen Luo in annoyance.

If it weren't for the fact that I'd be saving this for my incredibly cute little apprentice, I wouldn't bother with you, you brat.

"Okay, ma'am." Chen Luo looked at the business card that the other party threw over, pinched it with a silk thread, glanced at it, and then threw it directly into the river.

"Alright, I've memorized the number. By the way, remember to be smarter when casting tracking spells next time, don't make it so obvious," Chen Luo added.

"whispering sound."

"Alright everyone, I'm really leaving now. Is everything alright?" Chen Luo slung his bag over his shoulder again and asked everyone present.

"Probably not."

"Goodbye, everyone." Chen Luo clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone and then jumped into the river. The moment Chen Luo disappeared, the tortoise shell covering Ye Yunshang's head also vanished instantly.

"Phew..." Ye Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Luoshu above her head finally disappear, and then stood up.

"Yunshang, you should practice your sword control techniques too," the old Taoist sighed.

"I know, I know," Ye Yunshang waved her hand impatiently.

"Oh, right, Uncle-Master, could you issue a search warrant—a secret search warrant—to the relevant authorities in a bit? Have them search for boys between the ages of 16 and 18, specifically males who are registered as A- or B-level talents, and who are not members of the headquarters of any of the various factions," Ye Yunshang transmitted to the old Taoist priest beside her.

"Huh? Why?" The old Taoist priest was taken aback.

"Although the other party's divine power is indeed powerful, allowing us to not see their true identity, some necessary information was still leaked out during the exchange just now."

"First of all, he once told me that I'm almost as old as his mother. That means his mother is around 40 years old. A mother of that age could only have given birth to such an excellent but troublesome child on her first pregnancy. Otherwise, his father would have been arrested and imprisoned long ago. At least three years."

"This confirms that the other person's age is roughly between 16 and 20 years old, because this is the age at which a woman gives birth after the legal marriage age and normal marriage age. Given how foul-mouthed the other person is, they have definitely not experienced the harsh realities of society, so they probably did not go to university and their age should be around 16 to 18 years old."

"Secondly, the other party is not unfamiliar with the dark world, but if the other party can be deified normally, it means that the other party has a very strong immortality. If the other party has a powerful force behind them, then they will naturally not hide it, but make it public, after all, the existence of gods is extremely special."

"Using this special trait to quickly expand the family's power is the key, not coming here to argue with us. This shows that the other party has no backing, or is not a member of the headquarters of their backing."

Becoming a god grants immortality, and at least with the current skill level of these noobs fighting each other, it's impossible to kill a god—that's beyond doubt.

"Because the other party showed great familiarity with the underworld and wasn't a member of a major power, they must have disguised themselves as a talent user below S-rank, or they themselves are a dual-talent user who joined the underworld and gained knowledge. Don't give me that dual-talent user probability is low; since the other party's talent is [River God], nothing is impossible," Ye Yunshang said firmly.

"Since the other party has an S-level talent, it is impossible for them to have another S-level talent. However, according to the rules, the other talent of an S-level dual talent cannot be too bad; it must be at least an A-level or B-level talent."

"In short, just investigate. There's no cost to making a mistake anyway," Ye Yunshang said with a wave of her hand.

"But we still need their help now. Is it okay to investigate their identity like this?" the old Taoist asked with some concern.

"That's why I said it was a secret investigation. Don't tell anyone else about this. If they find out, they'll inevitably feel resentful. It's best if only the two of us know about this," Ye Yunshang said, crossing her arms.

"Alright. But you absolutely mustn't even think about laying a hand on them. They've already become a god, and they've shown a strong willingness to cooperate. They even took action to eliminate their inner demons, which means they're at least not an enemy, and might even be half one of our own."

"Provoking a deity is a rather irrational act, especially if the other party is a river god who has the power to grant amnesty to many river gods in China. There will always be some powerful figures or even yourself who need their help," the old Taoist priest said earnestly.

Overall, however, the old man was quite supportive of the strategy of conducting a covert investigation.

After all, knowing the other party's identity allows you to build a good relationship with them, since you'll need them to pass on information.

"Okay, I understand. Here's what we'll do: don't tell the relevant departments why they're investigating this person. Just give me a list of all the people who match these criteria, and I'll make the judgment. That way, we can avoid any leaks." Hearing the old man's reply, Ye Yunshang knew that the matter was settled.

"Okay." The old Taoist priest nodded.

The old Taoist priest didn't have much hope for Ye Yunshang's cultivation level, but he still trusted her intelligence.

Ye Yunshang's investigation into the River God's identity wasn't for any particular reason; she simply wanted to show him what cruelty truly meant.

Although Ye Yunshang was definitely no match for the River God, and even if she could, she couldn't fight him, she could still have her disciple and the River God have a good clash! Chop! Chop! Chop! Ah!

You brat! How dare you call this beautiful young lady "old lady"!

What do you think I spent so much time studying beauty and health cultivation techniques for?

What? You mean fighting?

Why not just leave the fighting to your own apprentice?

As the support, I should just obediently be the teacher. After all, my talent is related to this.

Chapter 584 The Lawyer of Consciousness: Do you have other inner demons outside?

"Xiao Shi, come quick, come quick."

Since Chen Luo had already knocked the inner demon senseless, it was completely unable to resist the teleportation from the teleportation anchor point. Therefore, Chen Luo brought this unfortunate inner demon directly to the living room of his house.

"Ah, wait a minute, Alo, what did you bring back?" The Herrscher of Knowledge asked in surprise.

"Inner demons," Chen Luo said.

"Inner demons? You've found new inner demons outside?!" Shi Bao roared in fury!

"...Ahem, just kidding." Seeing Chen Luo staring intently at him, the Herrscher of Knowledge smiled knowingly.

It was just a joke, why are you taking it so seriously?

"But where did you get this inner demon from? It doesn't look like it's in a very good state..." The Herrscher of Knowledge stroked her chin as she looked at the inner demon that Chen Luo had pulled from the net and thrown onto the sofa.

The Herald of Knowledge squatted down next to the other person and poked their face.

Although this inner demon does appear to be a cute girl on the surface, this appearance might just be the form of a life form that it once possessed.

Inner demons are not fixed forms, except for the Herrscher of Consciousness and Chen Luo, who first had fixed forms before becoming inner demons; the two are different.

Normally, the appearance of a demon is fixed on its first host, but it can change at any time.

“Come and take a look at the rough stone, it’s quite interesting,” Chen Luo asked Morgan beside him.

"..." Morgan hesitated for a moment before walking over.

Morgan, as the Fairy King and a magician who had almost reached the pinnacle of magic, was still very interested in things from other worlds.

Especially the inner demons, which sounded completely out of place in the Moon World, piqued her curiosity even more.

But just as Morgan approached the inner demon, and the Herrscher of Knowledge politely made way for him, the inner demon, which had been keeping its eyes closed, suddenly opened them and charged at Morgan.

The inner demon was actually feigning unconsciousness.

No, it should be said that I just woke up.

But why choose Morgan instead of others? It's because this inner demon sensed a strange sense of danger in Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge, but Morgan alone did not.

"Hmph!" Morgan snorted as he watched the inner demon charging toward him. A black wand adorned with blue appeared in his hand, but the top of the wand had a structure similar to a gun.

Morgan swung his enormous wand at the inner demon that was flying toward him.

"Ah!!!" But just as the inner demon got up and rushed towards Morgan, before it even clashed with the wand, it suddenly screamed in agony.

The scream was so intense that even Morgan frowned at it.

Morgan looked at Chen Luo, who was shielding him from his inner demons with one hand, and then removed the wand from his hand.

"I really can't understand how anyone would dare to expose the true nature of their inner demons under the Xuanyuan Sword. You should thank the Xuanyuan Sword for showing mercy since you weren't killed." After stopping the inner demon that had been severely injured by the Xuanyuan Sword, Chen Luo punched it again, striking it on the top of the head.

It's worth mentioning that the Xuanyuan Sword is placed right above this inner demon.

When the opponent didn't move, it was fine, but as soon as the opponent moved, the Xuanyuan Sword revealed why it was called the Sword of the Holy Path.

The Xuanyuan Sword is quite intelligent; it knows when to act and when not to.

After all, he hadn't even had enough of the toy he'd finally gotten his hands on before it was killed by the Xuanyuan Sword. The Xuanyuan Sword felt like it would have to be broken dozens more times in Chen Luo's hands.

"How strange, why does she only have eyes for you?" The Herrscher of Knowledge ignored the inner demon and instead looked Morgan up and down.

"..."

Morgan suspected that the inner demon was taking advantage of him because he was easy to bully, but Morgan wasn't sure.

In short, Morgan sensed a deep malice on his first day in the world of Chenluo.

"Alright, now that she sees what we look like, we can't let her go even more." After binding her into a caterpillar shape with special silk threads, Chen Luo said.

"Waaaah..." After hearing Chen Luo's words, the inner demon kept whimpering.

"Xiao Shi, if you eat her, do you think your abilities will evolve?" Chen Luo asked.

"That's probably impossible. The opponent is too weak to undergo a qualitative change." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook his head after staring at the inner demon for a while.

"It is indeed somewhat weak." Chen Luo nodded.

This inner demon wasn't very strong; in fact, she wasn't even qualified to go toe-to-toe with the Herrscher of Consciousness.

It's probably a 40/60 split at most, with the Herrscher of Knowledge at 9.6 and the opponent at 0.4.

"I have also extracted the memories of the other party. There are six relatively famous inner demons who have emerged in the past 20 years of the new millennium. She is the second weakest. But no matter what, she can't bring about a qualitative change, but she can increase the quantity. There is never any need to hold back when dealing with inner demons."

"Do you need me to cook it for you? I feel like inner demons can be used as ingredients too," Chen Luo asked the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"No, you should kill her and remove the seed of her inner demons." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head.
