"Walked away again."

Kou Beiyue shrugged and said, "This guy is so mysterious. I don't know him well. Last time, I was eating pickled vegetable noodles at the convenience store, and he suddenly came to find me, saying he wanted to take me back to the north..."

Listening to the other party's endless chatter, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized that this cool-looking young man was actually quite talkative.

After listening, Zhang Yuanqing commented, "You really have courage."

Kou Beiyue raised his chin proudly and said, "I know he's very strong, probably a bewitching demon at the Saint Realm, but my belief is that a strong person can make me afraid, but not make me submit."

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at him and said, "I meant you have courage to eat pickled vegetable noodles. I suggest you buy some Dakning ointment."

Kou Beiyue's proud expression froze on his face.

Zhang Yuanqing then asked, "You were interrupted by that guy just now. Let's continue. After you became a bewitching demon, you should have investigated the person who killed your sister. Tell me in detail."

The hatred on Kou Beiyue's face reappeared.

"That beast is called Chi Yue'an, a steward in the Shako District, a level 4 fire master. I heard he was arranged in the Five Elements Alliance by the Zhu family. He was originally a son-in-law of the Zhu family, but later divorced and joined the Five Elements Alliance."

Zhang Yuanqing listened quietly and gained a preliminary understanding of the steward he had just fought. Kou Beiyue did not continue.

"And then?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"What 'and then'?" the defiant young man retorted.

"Why did he want to kill your sister? From the state your sister was in before she died, it was obvious that she had been imprisoned, abused, and sexually assaulted. For a high-ranking steward, it's not very reasonable. I can't think of a reason for his despicable actions. What did your sister encounter before she disappeared? Where was she imprisoned after she disappeared? Have you investigated any of this?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

Kou Beiyue shook his head.

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't believe it. "In two years, you only found out about Chi Yue'an's background?" Kou Beiyue noticed the other's strange look and explained indignantly, "I'm not an official member, I lack the means to investigate, and I'm not familiar with these things. I'm better at fighting. Besides, bewitching demons lack these skills."

"Also, Chi Yue'an is an official member, and he has always been covering up these things. I can't find anything. Isn't that normal?"

"Or is it that you're just stupid?" Zhang Yuanqing pondered. "Is there a possibility that you've been bewitching the security officers of the Public Security Bureau for a long time, making them investigate for you?"

"!!!" Kou Beiyue was stunned for a moment, and then forcibly explained, "Master Wuheng has set rules that abilities cannot be used on ordinary people. If something is found out, they will be silenced, which would harm innocent people."

Unexpectedly, helping someone would lead to such trouble. Kou Beiyue reported to Zhang Yuanqing, "What are your plans next? It's best to tell Xiao Yuan about being marked, because that lunatic can track your location in real time."

At this moment, Kou Beiyue's phone rang, and seeing that it was Xiao Yuan calling, he looked delighted. After answering the call, his tone was deliberately impatient, "What do you want, Xiao Yuan? I'm tired now and need to rest. Save your scolding until I get back to the hotel."

"No need to come!" Xiao Yuan said indifferently. "You've been expelled from Master Wuheng's team. Don't bother coming anymore."

Kou Beiyue's expression suddenly froze, and his face seemed to grow even paler. He took a deep breath and sneered, "I won't go, I've always been a lone wolf. If you hadn't poked your nose into my business back then, I wouldn't be wondering where I could enjoy myself now. Who wants to go to that lousy hotel? Hang up!"

Kou Beiyue slumped to the ground, biting his teeth. His expression was very fierce, but his eyes were full of sadness and loneliness, like an abandoned dog.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yuan put her phone on the bedside table, rubbed her forehead, and muttered, "Finally, someone has intervened in that matter."

She adjusted her long hair, curled up in bed, and fell asleep peacefully.

"Well, there's no need to talk about the marking. I'll give you a clear path. If you want revenge, you can report that lunatic we just encountered. With your testimony, he should take action," Zhang Yuanqing said.

"It's my own business. I don't need anyone's help. If he helps me, and if he asks to take me to the north, I can't refuse, but I don't really want to go to the north," Kou Beiyue snorted. "I don't like the climate in the north. I'd rather shiver in the winter in the south."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded. "Then listen to my arrangements. It's a serious crime for an official practitioner to harm ordinary people. As a night wandering god of the Taiyi Sect, I have the right to investigate this matter."

Kou Beiyue raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat surprised. "You want to help me?"

"It's not about helping you, it's about fulfilling my duty and getting paid for it. It's only right," Zhang Yuanqing said, opening his inventory and summoning the Demon Subduing Staff. "Before that, let's purify the mark inside you. This item has the power of purification, and using it requires sacrificing blood. Cut your leg with it."

After speaking, he threw the Demon Subduing Staff over.

Kou Beiyue took the brass staff and, without hesitation, stabbed it deeply into his thigh.

The blood was absorbed by the Demon Subduing Staff like a sponge. In the next moment, a clear and bright golden light burst forth, enveloping the defiant young man.

Bathed in the golden light, Kou Beiyue felt a burst of heat, and then, the resentment, anger, and helplessness that had been pent up in his heart dissipated. His thoughts became clearer.He can still purify emotions to a certain extent? He checked the item information while grinning, "Good stuff, but the cost is too high. It's not suitable for consumption in battle. Ouch, that hurts. You're too honest, I'll let you take a stab, but not so deep. You're too naive, Zhang Yuanqing nodded calmly, playing the role of a calm otaku, saying, "Give me back the item."

Kou Beiyue didn't hesitate and threw the powerful item back.

As he was about to retrieve the item, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly thought, "If I were the Demon Eye Overlord, would I casually place a mark in the body of a Taiyi Gate Night Traveling God?"

Although this guy claims to kill based on evidence, evil professions are still evil professions, inherently opposed to the orderly camp. If given the chance, marking a captain-level official traveler, controlling their position in real time, why not?

So, Zhang Yuanqing grasped the Demon Subduing Staff in reverse and lightly pierced his thigh.

The Demon Subduing Staff automatically absorbed the blood and feedbacked the holder with the power of the sun, purifying all foreign influences in the body. Kou Beiyue looked at the small wound on the other party's leg, then looked at his own nearly bone-deep wound, muttering, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Zhang Yuanqing smirked, "I didn't expect you to be so naive about yourself. Alright, let's leave this place quickly. Our marking behavior should have been sensed by the other party."

Far away on a rooftop in Kangyang District, the Demon Eye Overlord who was scanning the area with his demon eye suddenly exclaimed.

He turned his head and looked in the direction he had come from.

"My mark has been purified? A level 3 Night Traveling God actually has such means." The Demon Eye Overlord closed his vertical eye, put on his headband, and dialed the number of his subordinate.

"Check for me if Yuan Ting, the captain of Taiyi Gate stationed in Kangyang District, has his information sent to me when it's done."

"Yes, Overlord!"

"How is the information collection on the Primordial Heavenly Venerable? Has anyone handed over evidence of his crimes on the black market?" The Demon Eye Overlord asked, "There's no information on either the clues of the members of the Stop Killing Palace or the criminal information of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable."

It's difficult to find people, especially spiritual realm travelers, so this result is not surprising. The Demon Eye Overlord clicked his tongue, "Is the Primordial Heavenly Venerable really a moral model?"

The subordinate was stunned and said, "Overlord, according to the information, I think, maybe, um, he just didn't have time to commit a crime."

After all, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable joined the official organization, and it's only been two months. A fast hotel in Kangyang District.

Zhang Yuanqing stood at the end of the corridor and dialed Fu Qingyang's number.

"It's 1:30 in the morning. You're calling me at this time, so it must be something important." Fu Qingyang said in a cold and ruthless tone.

"Yes, I have a major event to report."

Zhang Yuanqing immediately told the Centurion about the grudge between Kou Beiyue and Chi Yue'an.

"To investigate a steward, you need the Elder's permission. Chi Yue'an is a steward in Shako District, not a direct subordinate of Elder Gou. He won't care." Fu Qingyang said, "If you want to intervene in this matter, then collect evidence and report him to the higher-ups of the branch."

"I understand. Does the Centurion have any other suggestions?" He wanted to hear Fu Qingyang's attitude.

Fu Qingyang said indifferently, "Having a sense of justice is a good thing, but it's not suitable for you to go out and act now. Investigating a steward-level traveler is a big deal. If it causes trouble, it will definitely be investigated by the Demon Eye. My suggestion is to leave it alone."

I can easily disguise myself and investigate secretly, no problem. Zhang Yuanqing said, "The second thing is, I just saw the Demon Eye Overlord."

"You've seen the Demon Eye?" Fu Qingyang's tone sank. Zhang Yuanqing explained the situation again.

Fu Qingyang remained silent for a long time and analyzed, "Yuan Ting is well-known in Taiyi Gate. If the Demon Eye wants to investigate, he will soon find out that Yuan Ting is in the capital and cannot meet him in Songhai. However, he also cannot associate you with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable because of this."

"You should continue to lurk as usual and not get involved in this matter. The elders of the branch will have actions soon. However, this person is very cautious, and it's difficult to find him."

Zhang Yuanqing immediately said, "I have a friend of the Demon Eye Overlord, and I can locate him through his phone." "A friend? You actually added him as a friend?" Fu Qingyang was surprised and then snorted coldly, "Stupid, how do you know it's not a ploy to lure the snake out of the hole? He knows you're an official Night Traveling God and still dares to add you as a friend. That's enough to explain the problem."

"The Centurion is right. I didn't think it through." Fu Qingyang said, "Also, in a few days, I will hold an online meeting of the White Tiger Guard and announce the plan to recruit you. After everyone approves, I will send you the recruitment information."

So it means I have to wait a few more days. Centurion, I can't wait to get my hands on the house worth tens of thousands. Zhang Yuanqing said, "Okay!"

The two ended the call.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately entered the room and exchanged contact information with Kou Beiyue, because considering the need for assistance in the secret investigation, he asked Kou Beiyue to wait for the notification at the hotel.

The next day, after having breakfast, Zhang Yuanqing saw his aunt off to work, told his grandmother that he didn't have class in the morning, and returned to his bedroom with a clear conscience.

During this time, without going to the unit and not seeing Lao Siji and Li Dongze, he felt bored at home. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well check on Chi Steward.

But before that, he brought Xiao Yuan into the gang to settle the matter.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the gang warehouse, clicked on the search in the upper right corner, and entered "Xiao Yuan" with the stylus. He sent the recruitment command.

A few minutes later, the spiritual realm prompt tone came: [Ding, Xiao Yuan has joined your gang.] In fact, it would be nice to bring Guan Ya in as well, as well as the master of the Stop Killing Palace. This way, all the beauties in my gang, the gang leader commanding the beauties, will be famous. Zhang Yuanqing sent a message to Xiao Yuan:"Kou Beiyue, I've settled him down, and I'll try to investigate his matter," Xiao Yuan replied with a single "Hmm."

Xiao Yuan probably can't wait for me to take over Kou Beiyue's case, Zhang Yuanqing typed: "I also have a favor to ask of Auntie Xiao Yuan."

Xiao Yuan: "What is it?"

Zhang Yuanqing: "I want to hunt down a Level 3 Seducer Demon to refine into a Yin Corpse. But as you know, those in the evil professions are like rats in a sewer; I can't find one."

Xiao Yuan: "So you need another rat from the sewer to help?" Zhang Yuanqing: "Oh, you're too modest."

Xiao Yuan: "Heh, just wait."

While they were talking, Zhang Yuanqing saw a new message pop up on his phone, sent by Xie Lingxi. "Brother Yuanshi, do we have a new member? Who is Xiao Yuan, a magical girl?" As a member of the gang, Xie Lingxi also received the spiritual realm notification sound.

No, she's a magical auntie! Zhang Yuanqing typed back: "You've met her."

Xie Lingxi: "Huh? But I don't know her, I've never even heard the name."

He replied to Xiao Yuan with a "Thanks" to end the chat, then responded to Little Green Tea: "The receptionist at Wuheng Hotel."

"Ah?! How can you bring someone from the evil professions into the gang? That's not good. That auntie looks fierce; is it really okay for her to join the gang, can she be trusted?"

Xie Lingxi's impression of Xiao Yuan remained from their first meeting; she seemed like a very beautiful and sexy woman, but with a cold and unpleasant temperament.

"Don't worry, she's a comrade who is ashamed of being a father, her character is not a problem."

Zhang Yuanqing reassured Little Green Tea for a bit, then unexpectedly received a call from his mother. Her? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment before hurriedly answering, jokingly saying:

"Your ladyship is so busy with a myriad of tasks, yet you have time to call me? No meetings? Not running the business?" His mother seemed not to catch his sarcasm and said:

"About the matter we discussed last time, I've contacted that business partner, and he's free today to meet with you."
