As soon as Jiang Zuo agreed, Mo Yan grew incredibly excited.
She then started typing furiously in the chat box.
Fairy Mo Yan: "My wish is for Chi Xue Child to have no popsicles to eat, and for Liuyue Xue to talk every day—preferably until she becomes a chatterbox."
Liuyue Xue: "..."
Chi Xue Child: "..."
The others were also left speechless. They had wondered what Mo Yan would say, but it was just for something like this?
It was a purely malicious wish that didn’t benefit her at all. No one could figure out what Mo Yan was thinking.
’Is this how Demon Cultivators think?’
Liuyue Xue: "To keep everyone from being affected by the Nightmare, I’ve already made Mo Yan go back to bed. I’ve double-checked this time—my senses aren’t being muddled by the Nightmare."
Jiang Zuo stopped paying attention to them. As for what Mo Yan had just said, it presented him with a bit of a dilemma.
’Making Chi Xue Child go without popsicles would be pretty tough. Persuading him with words is definitely out of the question.’
’Killing him isn’t an option, either.’
’As for making Liuyue Xue talk, that would also be difficult. A curse really is the most fitting solution.’
But this type of curse wasn’t easy to cast. Even if he succeeded, their Sect’s seniors would just forcefully remove it.
’It’s a shame there isn’t an Array for this, or I’d have it done in minutes.’
Meanwhile, Chi Xue Child, who was eating a popsicle, and Liuyue Xue, who was typing, both felt a sudden chill.
Finally, Chi Xue Child contacted Liuyue Xue. "I think Fellow Daoist Po Xiao might be seriously considering Mo Yan’s words. The two of us are in danger."
Liuyue Xue nodded.
They were on a video call, which was why he could see her nod.
Chi Xue Child said, "I’ll have my senior brother and senior sister go to the Sea of Seven Emotions, and you have your senior sister go too. We need to get the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires first."
"Then we’ll have Fellow Daoist Po Xiao suppress Mo Yan."
Liuyue Xue nodded again.
In the end, they reached a consensus.
The next step was figuring out how to get their respective seniors to search for the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
At this time, Jiang Zuo began to check the commissions. There were plenty of Tier Two commissions, but most weren’t in Jiang City.
Jiang Zuo wasn’t looking to travel far anytime soon.
So, after searching for a while, Jiang Zuo settled on an ordinary commission.
The details of the commission were exceptionally simple, and also rather old-fashioned.
Someone had lost their pet and wanted help finding it.
The moment he saw the commission, Jiang Zuo knew: Gu Jiansheng’s fox had pulled another disappearing act.
’It’s only been a month, and that fox has already run off again?’
’What’s the point of having a fox like that?’
’I should just break its legs,’ Jiang Zuo thought.
’If Sweet Potato ever dared to pull a disappearing act, I would definitely track it down. Not because I’d be worried about it getting lost, but because I’d worry someone might find it and roast it.’
’If that’s the case, I might as well find it and roast it myself.’
’The other parts might be inconvenient to eat, but I can at least eat the wings, right?’
’Then again, Sweet Potato is probably already roasting as we speak.’
’I’ll just have to see how it tastes then.’
Afterward, Jiang Zuo left Tianhe Group and went directly to Gu Jiansheng’s house.
Soon, Jiang Zuo knocked on the door of Gu Jiansheng’s house.
It wasn’t his first time here.
It felt like a long time had passed since his last visit.
Then, Gu Jiansheng’s voice came from inside. "Come in, the door’s unlocked."
Jiang Zuo pushed open the door and saw Gu Jiansheng lying on a recliner, his back to him.
"You’re here?" Gu Jiansheng said suddenly.
"..." Jiang Zuo ignored him and looked around the room.
Gu Jiansheng felt extremely awkward when he didn’t get a reply. He had the rest of his lines all prepared.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Zuo. "I’m a Tier Five senior now. Can’t you be a little more polite?"
Gu Jiansheng had indeed reached Tier Five. The last time Jiang Zuo saw him, he was already half a step into Tier Five. He didn’t expect him to break through so quickly.
But Jiang Zuo didn’t care what tier he was. Instead, he asked, "Explain what happened. It’s not in the yard."
Gu Jiansheng sighed. "I promised I’d take it to East Water Island for fun after it passed its tribulation. Unfortunately, East Water Island sank, and it won’t be back to normal for at least a year and a half."
"So it threw a tantrum and ran away from home."
Jiang Zuo: "..."
After a moment, Jiang Zuo asked, "Any leads?"
Gu Jiansheng nodded. "I have a few, but the main issue is finding a new place to take it for fun. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Jiang Zuo: "...You’re asking me for suggestions?"
Gu Jiansheng said, "Not really, but Xiaoli is mischievous. I mainly want to take it somewhere safer. If something happens, I can at least control the situation myself."
Jiang Zuo frowned, not understanding what Gu Jiansheng meant.
Then Gu Jiansheng added, "I was wondering, where do you plan on going next, Fellow Daoist?"
Jiang Zuo said, "The Sword Cultivation Lineage."
Jiang Zuo saw Gu Jiansheng let out what looked like a sigh of relief. Jiang Zuo asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Gu Jiansheng didn’t hide anything. "Have you ever considered something, Fellow Daoist?"
"For example, you went to the Holy Land—a place with a profound heritage—and a major incident occurred. Even a spatial expert crossed dimensions to get there."
"Then there’s Liyuan Island. Although nothing major happened there, I heard a Celestial Tribulation nearly destroyed it."
"Then there was the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range. I heard you went there as well, and the Demon Cultivators suffered a major setback as a result."
"The most severe case was naturally East Water Island, which I heard was sunk. While these incidents may not be directly related to you, Fellow Daoist, you were certainly at the scene for all of them."
"By the same logic, a calamity is about to befall the Sword Cultivation Lineage."
Dark lines formed on Jiang Zuo’s forehead. ’What does any of that have to do with me?’
’That Daoist showed up every single time. *He’s* the real culprit.’
’But I can’t be bothered to explain. Now that the Daoist has gone to the Spiritual Control Sect, I’ll just have to see whether disaster strikes the Spiritual Control Sect or the Sword Cultivation Lineage.’
"So, you just wanted to know where I’m going so you can take your Three-tailed Fox somewhere else?" Jiang Zuo said.
Gu Jiansheng replied, "Yes, but Xiaoli is already Four-tailed."
"So, now that you know, you need me to find the fox?" Jiang Zuo asked.
Gu Jiansheng nodded. "I do. Xiaoli’s Concealment ability is getting stronger and stronger. Ordinary people can no longer find her."
However, Gu Jiansheng had a lot of confidence in Jiang Zuo.
There was no helping it. The man might be arrogant and rude, but he had genuine abilities.
Others couldn’t find Xiaoli anymore—at least, no one who could was willing to for the current price.
Then Jiang Zuo said, "Tell me what you suspect."
Gu Jiansheng had just said he had a lead, so Jiang Zuo naturally had to ask. The more he knew, the faster he could find it.
Gu Jiansheng nodded. "If I’m not mistaken, Xiaoli is still near the house."
Jiang Zuo nodded. He had confirmed the yard was empty, but he’d only checked the front yard. Gu Jiansheng’s house also had a backyard.
"Reward," Jiang Zuo said, holding out his hand.
This time, Gu Jiansheng said nothing and simply handed the Moon Tear Bead to Jiang Zuo.
After putting away the Moon Tear Bead, Jiang Zuo took out a coin and then his Shield.
He then placed the coin on the Shield and cast a weight-enhancing Array on it.
Then he threw the Shield high into the air.
Soon, the Shield fell at an extremely high speed.
BANG! The Shield hit the ground. The instant it landed, a pitiful cry rang out.
"Po Xiao..." Gu Jiansheng roared. "If anything happens to Xiaoli, I’ll get you for this!"
By then, Jiang Zuo had already picked up the Shield and was walking out the door.
