Before Elder Fan continued, Yan Xu immediately interrupted, "Wait a minute, Brother Fan."
"What's up, Brother Xu?" asked Elder Fan astonished.
Without answering Elder Fan's question, Yan Xu gave the code to Lan Xihe. The other party nodded and a faint qi energy shield circled around the three of them. Seeing that, Elder Fan opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Elder Fan cupped his hands together and said, "As expected of Big Brother-in-law, this qi energy shield is extremely pure, transparent even hard for outsiders to scout!"
Lan Xihe who was used to compliments felt nothing. He nodded with a friendly smile, "Thank you for the compliment. You overestimate me too much, Sister-in-law."
"No, no, it's not like that Brother-in-law! You are amazing!" Elder Fan waved to Lan Xihe a few times.
The praising and humbling scene instantly stopped until there due to the sound of darkness coming from Yan Xu.
"Ehem! Can we continue with that?" asked Yan Xu.
"Sure! Where was it? ..—oh! Yep! Oddity about every report relating to matters in the Great Imperial Capital of the Ming."
Elder Fan narrowed his eyes, on the pupils of those black eyes was a tired and suspicious expression. He continued his explanation with both hands behind his back and stared directly at Yan Xu, like a true sect elder.
"Of many tasks, most of them are low-level tasks. However, strangely none of the disciples could complete the task, regardless of the level of the task."
"Honestly speaking, I was relieved that the dragon and phoenix crouched on the Peak of Wind finally showed their prowess," Elder Fan's face revealed a proud expression.
"The disciples from the same peak as Big Brother are very skilled at solving various problems there well, but strange things start to happen after they return to the sect."
Elder Fan stroked his beard a few times and let out a long sigh.
"Initially the task is confirmed to have been completed well and quickly, there should be no problems there. However, all of a sudden there were various reports of false protests going into the main hall."
"Adik has already separated some sheets from those that look far-fetched, then handed the rest to Brother, while Big Brother is still busy in the top administrative room."
Yan Xu nodded upon hearing the statement. It was true, he asked Elder Fan for help in order to carry out the filteration stage against the documents that would enter the Peak Wind administrative office. He could not bear all the workload with just one or two heads.
Therefore, it was best to ask Elder Fan who was skilled in dealing in the administrative field and had a high position in the main hall. The performance he had achieved up to this point was truly real, Yan Xu also greatly praised how diligent he was.
Only, this person had a twisted side and a secret that most people and their own closest relatives did not know. The secret taboo of Elder Fan was that he liked to disguise himself as a young handsome disciple, using the look of his glory days face. Not only that, he also had a high sensitivity to one's age.
In other words, why would he dare to call Yan Xu as Big Brother because he could feel that the other party had a very old age. He also thought that Yan Xu from Peak Wind was unheard of before, was one of the dragon peaks and phoenix crouched in the Eternal Sect of Luo.
Thinking of the usual cliche reasons, they hid because the members only specialized in practicing, not to take care of worldly affairs. So, he had thought that the current Peak Wind had finally shown itself because it had been hiding for too long.
It was only a matter of time until they were at the top of the food chain within the sect. Elder Fan was certain because he felt an overwhelming pressure from how old Yan Xu and Big Brother-in-law were wrapped in white cloth.
He only told this secret to Yan Xu, the elder brother of all the people he had met, the warmest person and the person he could trust the most, in addition to the Sect Chief who had received also helped him when he fell in a bad state.
In other words, this brotherhood is not just formed. Unless there is a cause and effect on each individual concerned. In the Eternal Luo Sect, only Elder Fan knew how old Yan Xu was and would behave like a younger brother towards that unruly disciple.
A moment later, Yan Xu asked, "What makes you think that the contents of the complaint are so far-fetched?"
After Elder Fan's brief explanation, Yan Xu glanced at his wife with a face that wondered, 'What do you think about this oddity?'
Lan Xihe who realized that immediately replied, "There are two possibilities."
Elder Fan showed interest, he had already sharpened his hearing on the upcoming explanation, as well as Yan Xu.
Lan Xihe created an energy sword in the air, followed by the creation of a smaller energy spear as well as the blade pointing towards the sword.
"The first possibility is that some cunning scheme is going on around the Great Imperial Capital of Ming. If it's about the chessboard they've been playing on, the other side is preparing for a big party."
"What?! Brother-in-law, where did that thought come from?" ask Elder Fan seriously.
"Try you to think again how the foreign tribes are doing now. Is there friction at the front line of the border of the Southern Continent? No, right? Now, look again at how peaceful the situation is in the Great Imperial Capital of Ming," Lan Xihe replied.
Elder Fan stroked his long beard, thinking deeply of the intentions of Big Brother-in-law. If this is the case, a war that would endanger the safety of civilians would most likely happen soon if they misstep.
Realizing that Lan Xihe's thinking had a point, Elder Fan's face grew louder and he asked Lan Xihe to continue his explanation using a deep voice. "Sister-in-law, what about the second possibility?"
"The second possibility is that irrelevant sheets are a code from another party. They want to convey something, hoping that our side understands the contents of the secret messages of the various ambiguous documents."
"I've checked for that possibility, but found nothing," Elder Fan explained as he scratched his cheek.
Yan Xu who was silent, then began to speak, "Is there such a symbol in the document?"
He realized the "✿" symbol in red, exactly as Lan Xihe had shown.
Seeing the symbol "✿" in red, made Elder Fan's eyes widen. He remembered that some of the sheets were indeed stamped like that.
From Elder Fan's reaction, the two people were even more convinced that their precious gold mine was in trouble.
Yan Xu's serious voice appeared, "Sister, please bring all those papers and arrange that when we exit the sect's territory, no one will know other than you."
After saying that, Yan Xu gave two more fake facial skin to Elder Fan.
Elder Fan who received the blessing, perfectly understood that the matter was serious. With the good intention of not upsetting her brother, Elder Fan immediately carried out a request for help from Big Brother Xu.
With the help of Elder Fan, the two of them did not need to take care of anything and could leave the sect unnoticed by the Sect Chief as well as the other members.
The dao couple who looked extremely friendly and graceful were now heading to the Great Imperial Capital of Ming, flying in the air using clouds also accompanied by layered concealment techniques. Their goal on this trip was to secure a gold mine—uhuk! Jiang Family.
