A few days later.
Chen An was playing with his daughters in the cave abode.
He mainly wanted to play with his third daughter, Chen Jiuli, to increase his Relationship with her.
“Deacon Chen!”
“Are you in the cave abode?”
“Please come with us!”
A shout suddenly sounded outside the cave abode.
Chen An spread out his divine consciousness and saw the people from the Law Enforcement Hall outside, as well as Deacon Zhang, Deacon Huang, and Deacon He.
He didn’t think too much about it. After telling his wives briefly, he escaped from the ground.
He went outside.
He learned that the people from the Law Enforcement Hall had come this time to bring them in for interrogation.
Because the four of them and Deacon Lin were Alchemists who had entered at the same time, they were suspected of being undercover.
Not long after.
The group took a flying ship and arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall.
Under the lead of an Enforcement Hall deacon,
The four of them walked into an interrogation room and were arranged to sit and wait for a moment.
“We’ve really been harmed by that dog Deacon Lin this time. Why did we get into such an undeserved calamity?”
Deacon Huang was displeased and scolded Deacon Lin, who had been imprisoned.
Deacon He lamented, “To think that Deacon Lin would actually be a spy from the Xuanhuang Sect. Even the Heaven Earth Sect has been infiltrated into such a state?”
Deacon Zhang said, “You can’t judge a book by its cover. Perhaps there are spies among us. It’s just that we usually hide it deeper.”
Chen An did not speak. He silently waited for the people from the Law Enforcement Hall to interrogate.
In just a moment.
Two graceful figures walked in from outside the interrogation room.
It was Sect Master Xiao Qingyue and Holy Maiden Ning Xian’er.
Chen An looked up at the two of them, and his eyes met Ning Xian’er’s.
Ning Xian’er instantly looked away, not wanting to show how much she cared about Chen An.
Xiao Qingyue sensed her beloved disciple’s abnormality, but she did not say anything. She only glanced at Chen An in front of her.
She walked to Chen An and the others and sat down. She took out a round plate and placed it on the interrogation table. She said coldly,
“This is a high-level magical artifact that can distinguish between the truth and lies. It’s effective for Cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm.”
“Next, I will ask you a question. If anyone dares to lie, 1 will make them wish they were dead.”
“Now, the interrogation begins.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qingyue injected spiritual energy into the disc in front of her.
In the next moment, the originally dim disc instantly shone brightly. It was extremely dazzling.
“The first question is, are you spies planted by the Xuanhuang Sect?”
Xiao Qingyue’s question was very simple and direct.
Faced with this question, Chen An and the other three deacons shook their heads in denial.
Xiao Qingyue waited quietly for a moment. Seeing that plate did not react, she began to ask the next question.
“Second question, have you guys done anything with the spies planted in the Heaven Earth Sect by the Xuanhuang Sect?”
Chen An still shook his head and denied this question.
Deacon Huang also shook his head.
Deacon Zhang also shook his head.
However, Deacon He was so nervous that his hands were trembling. He remained silent and did not answer.
Xiao Qingyue narrowed her eyes and said coldly to a Dark Clan Cultivator beside her,
“Zhang San, send him to the torture room.”
“Yes, Sect Master!”
The Dark Forces Department Cultivator responded. As soon as he finished speaking, he took out an Immortal Binding Rope and tied Deacon He up before escorting him into the torture room.
His movements were so fast that Deacon He did not even have time to react and kneel down to beg for mercy.
“Deacon Chen, stay behind. Deacon Huang, Deacon Zhang, you can leave now.”
Xiao Qingyue said coldly.
Deacon Huang and Deacon Zhang felt as if they had been pardoned. After saying goodbye respectfully, they quickly left.
They were all very curious why the Sect Master wanted to keep Chen An alone.
However, they did not dare to stay and ask anything more.
They only wanted to leave quickly to avoid being accidentally implicated.
“Xian’er, Deacon He will be handed over to you for interrogation. Don’t disappoint me.”
Xiao Qingyue looked at Ning Xian’er and said.
Ning Xian’er replied, “Yes.” Then, she quickly walked towards the torture room at the front.
The moment she entered the torture room, she could not help but turn around and look at Chen An and Xiao Qingyue. Then, she quickly walked in.
She was very puzzled as to why Xiao Qingyue wanted to keep Chen An alone, but she did not dare to ask.
In her heart, Xiao Qingyue was her master, but in fact, she was more like a strict mother.
“Alchemist Chen, let’s talk in private.”
Xiao Qingyue looked at Chen An and said coldly as usual.
No, it was colder than before.
In Chen An’s impression, when they first met, Xiao Qingyue’s tone was filled with admiration.
At this moment, Xiao Qingyue’s tone was very cold.
Soon, Chen An and Xiao Qingyue arrived at an empty forest.
Xiao Qingyue set up a soundproof array in the small forest and said with cold phoenix eyes, “Deacon Chen, do you know why I left you alone to talk?”
“I don’t know.”
Chen An said calmly.
Although his tone was respectful, he was no longer as humble as before.
This was the result of his strength increasing.
Now, he only needed one finger to stab Xiao Qingyue to death. There was no need to be respectful to her anymore.
Xiao Qingyue could also sense that Chen An was no longer as respectful as before. She remained calm on the surface, but she was displeased in her heart and had a worse impression of Chen An.
She didn’t waste any more time and went straight to the point. “The Holy Maiden’s mood has been affected by you. I hope you can stay away from her and not tempt her.”
As if out of revenge for Chen An’s previous refusal to accept the position of an elder of the Alchemy Hall and his disrespectful tone to her just now, she added disdainfully, “You’re just a small deacon of the Alchemy Hall. You’re not worthy of the Holy Maiden.”
Chen An only smiled and did not say anything.
Xiao Qingyue did not care if he agreed or not. She was only responsible for conveying these words.
If Chen An did not do as she said, as the Sect Master, she had many ways to deal with Chen An and make him regret it.
“Deacon Chen, I hope you can remember my words.”
After saying this, Xiao Qingyue left on her sword and flew towards the periphery.
Chen An looked up at her departing figure and sized up her curvaceous body without hiding anything. He smiled and said, “Am 1 not worthy of the Holy Maiden? In the future, there will be times when you and the Holy Maiden will be jealous.”
In the ‘Stable’ cave abode.
As soon as Chen An landed on his sword, he saw his wives waiting anxiously at the entrance of the cave abode for him to return.
“Husband!”
Seeing Chen An’s figure appear, Song Huaying, who was standing at the outermost corner, immediately shouted happily. Her voice was as pleasant as a kingfisher.
The other four wives also called out “Husband” one after another with smiles on their faces.
In the blink of an eye.
It was night time.
The family sat at the dining table and chatted.
His wives were very concerned about why Chen An was taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall.
Chen An roughly told them that he and the other three deacons had been implicated by Deacon Lin and were interrogated.
In the end, Deacon He, who lived outside, was interrogated and had a problem. He would probably end up like Deacon Lin.
When his wives heard that, they could not help but lament. They thought that there were way too many spies in the Heaven Earth Sect..
