Chapter 11 Let's expose that captain.

The Hall of Law Enforcement, the Auditorium.

Lou Yuqing was browsing through jade slips in the first section of the room.

In no time, she put down the jade slip and brought up the system panel.

[Gossip Value: 10,000 points]

Lou Yuqing nodded in satisfaction. Through her tireless efforts, she had finally accumulated 10,000 points of gossip value.

In order to get the big scoop, she deliberately delayed her gratification; now it's time to redeem herself.

[List of participants: Cen Xiaoyun (20,000 points)... Wei Houming (1,000 points)... Gu Bugai (100 points)]

Lou Yuqing looked at the first person in line with a puzzled expression. She had been in the Enforcement Hall for so long, but she had never heard of this name before.

The Enforcement Hall is usually only frequented by enforcement disciples and disciples who have committed offenses; ordinary people do not approach it.

"Knock knock".

As Lou Yuqing was pondering, there was a knock on the door of the audience room.

As Si Nidie copied the sect rules, she called out loudly, "Come in!"

Who's here?

Lou Yuqing heard her senior sister's call, walked to the door of the room in the first area, and curiously peeked out.

The disciples usually go directly to the Hall of Enforcement when they have something to do, and they generally don't come to the Auditorium.

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

A beautiful woman appeared in everyone's sight, her lips curving upwards with a perfectly timed smile that made her instantly likable.

Lou Yuqing glanced at the seashell necklace around her neck and wondered if this was Cen Xiaoyun.

With a "gossip value" of 20,000 points, she definitely has a story to tell.

The next moment, the beautiful woman stopped not far from the group and said gently and politely, "Hello, I am Song Li, and I have been ordered by the sect leader to retrieve the jade slip from the third district."

Lou Yuqing suddenly realized: It's not Cen Xiaoyun.

Song Li took out a token and raised her hand to show it to everyone.

The token is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, resembling a triangle, and has an ebony-like luster. It is engraved with four large golden characters: "Sect Leader's Token".

Si Nidie looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Leader's Order? Come with me, the Third District is located further inside, it's not easy to find."

The auditorium has three sections. The third section contains major events from previous years, which ordinary disciples have no right to view.

Song Li said gratefully, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Si Nidie led her to the door and said, "Go in by yourself. There is a magic array in the third area to block people with ulterior motives. You have the sect leader's token, so you won't be attacked."

Song Li nodded and used the token to enter. Looking at the jade slip in front of her, a hint of hidden joy flashed in her eyes.

"Senior sister, do you know who Cen Xiaoyun is?"

When Lou Yuqing saw Si Nidie return, she couldn't help but ask. The system panel still showed this name, indicating that the other party had been within her one-mile radius.

Si Nidie asked in confusion, "Don't you know her? Is she your friend?"

Lou Yuqing chuckled and said, "I was just asking casually. I feel like I've heard that somewhere before."

"Anyway, they're not from our Enforcement Hall," Si Nidie said confidently, sitting down and picking up a pen to quickly fill a page with the sect rules.

Her voice reached everyone's ears.

“I am more interested in Song Li. There was no such person by the sect leader’s side before. He always sent the disciples of Xuantian Peak to get the jade slips.”

Lou Yuqing pondered, "Perhaps a newly accepted disciple?"

“Song Li? Song… Sect Leader Qingxuzi also seems to be surnamed Song!” Si Nidie suddenly thought of this, and with a sharp stroke of her brush, she left a black mark on the paper.

Ignoring the waste of the half-written paper, she asked with great interest, "Do you think there might be some kind of connection between these things?"

Lou Yuqing said thoughtfully, "You mean, Song Li is related to the sect leader?"

“It’s highly likely. The number of registered disciples at Xuantian Peak is limited. If one is missing, another can be added immediately. Song Li has no connections and can’t get involved at all,” Si Nidie said confidently.

Lou Yuqing agreed, "That makes sense."

Seeing that his young apprentice was being led astray by Si Nidie, Gu Bugai corrected him, saying, "Song Li is not a relative of the sect leader, but the sect leader's daughter."

The two men were startled and spoke almost simultaneously.

Lou Yuqing: "Daughter?"

Si Nidie: "Daughter?"

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and both saw shock in each other's eyes.

“That’s right,” Gu Bugai affirmed.

Si Nidie stroked her chin and said, "In all my years at Wendao Sect, I've never heard of the sect leader having a daughter. Doesn't he not have a Daoist partner?"

Lou Yuqing silently raised her hand: "Moreover, Song Li looks to be at least in her twenties. If what you said is true, then it means that at that time, Sect Leader Qingxuzi had an affair with a mysterious woman."

These words were spoken.

"cough!"

Gu Bugai nearly choked on his little apprentice's words and coughed several times before emphasizing to her, "Speak properly."

Lou Yuqing blinked: "Senior Brother Gu, am I wrong? But I'm just making reasonable inferences based on what you said."

“…Watch your words.” Gu Bugai choked for a moment, but couldn’t deny it.

That's the truth, but for his young apprentice to say it like that gives the impression that Qingxuzi was having an affair and had emotional debts to repay.

Lou Yuqing thought to herself, "Senior Brother Gu is really old-fashioned."

What people crave when they gossip is excitement, right?

Gu Bugai slowly said, "Song Li is the sect leader's daughter who was recently recognized. She wasn't by his side before, so not many people know about her."

Lou Yuqing: Oh wow.

Si Nidie: Eek.

Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Gu Bugai immediately realized that they must have misunderstood.

Gu Bugai reluctantly patched up the hole: "It's not what you think. The sect leader didn't abandon his wife and daughter. It was just a series of coincidences that he only just brought his daughter back now."

Lou Yuqing looked embarrassed, then retorted, "I never thought that the sect leader would deceive female cultivators outside and then abandon them after having a daughter."

"Senior Brother Gu, believe me! I really don't think the Sect Leader is a scumbag."

Si Nidie: This has all been exposed.

Gu Bugai: "..."

...

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Song Li walked out of the third district, her face flushed, and her eyes flashing with a frighteningly fervent light.

She found her!

As long as she follows the instructions on the jade slip, she can improve her cultivation aptitude.

Although Song Li really wanted to realize her wish immediately, there was still a lot of preparation work to be done beforehand, and it wouldn't be possible to succeed overnight.

She forcibly suppressed her ambition, and by the time she was almost at the audience area, her expression had returned to normal, as if her previous attempt had never occurred.

Song Li smiled at everyone and walked straight towards the door.

As Lou Yuqing watched her disappear from sight, she unconsciously frowned and murmured, "Why did I feel like her smile was a little strange?"

It makes people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

It was completely different from her usual friendly smile.

Upon hearing this, Si Nidie said in surprise, "I thought it was just my imagination. It turns out you think so too, Junior Brother Gu. What about you?"

"...I am just like you."

Gu Bugai's lips twitched, but he quickly regained his composure. Oh well, he was just taken advantage of verbally. Who told this avatar to reveal a lower seniority?

On the contrary, Song Li is acting a little strange.

Gu Bugai pondered for a moment and tentatively attributed her unusual behavior to the fact that she had just learned about her background, so her actions were a bit awkward.

"Senior sister, how's your copying going?" Lou Yuqing asked Si Nidie.

Si Nidie patted the storage bag, and a flash of white light appeared. A thick stack of papers appeared on the table, with neat and standardized handwriting, the kind that Captain Wei would be satisfied with.

Si Nidie waved her hand and said proudly, "These are all the empires that I, the Empress, have conquered!"

Lou Yuqing exclaimed in agreement, "It is my great honor to be your subject. May I ask which country you plan to attack next?"

Gu Bugai: "..."

Are all young people like this nowadays?

At the same time, Si Nidie said solemnly, "Only children make choices. I want them all. Take them all for me!"

"As expected of our emperor, he's so domineering." Lou Yuqing gave a thumbs up. "So, how long do you expect it to take to unify the continent?"

Si Nidie surveyed the "empire" before her, and declared with boundless pride, "We can do it today!"

"So fast?"

Lou Yuqing wasn't acting this time; she was genuinely stunned.

“Junior sister, this is all based on my experience. Back then, I made a small mistake, and Captain Wei punished me by making me copy the sect rules. It took me ten days to finish copying them.”

Si Nidie leaned back in her chair, a look of vicissitude on her face, as if she had a past she couldn't bear to recall.

"But after I handed it in, it was returned. Captain Wei asked me to rewrite it, saying my handwriting was unclear."

"Heaven have mercy, I copied all of that word by word with painstaking effort, never asking anyone else to do it." Si Nidie wiped away her bitter tears.

Lou Yuqing grasped the key point: "Could it be that Senior Sister delegated the task to someone else?"

"...You're really clever."

When Si Nidie saw that what she had been hiding had been exposed, she frankly admitted: "That's right, actually when I handed it in for the first time, I asked my brother to help me copy half of it."

Si Nanren was initially reluctant, but after she offered him one hundred spirit stones as bait, he agreed.

As a result, he didn't get the spirit stone.

Can you talk about money between siblings? It hurts their feelings!

Si Nidie refused Si Nanren with a clear conscience, and was immediately punished by Wei Houming. After all, the two different handwritings were simply trying to fool someone.

"I copied it over and over again until Captain Wei was satisfied, and only then was I finally freed."

"Later, I made a few more mistakes and was punished again by copying the rules of the sect. That's how I developed my abilities."

Si Nidie boasted, "I can now copy it all in three or four days!"

Lou Yuqing gasped, "Terrifying!"

Si Nidie raised her head and puffed out her chest: "That's right."

Gu Bugai: "..."

Is this something to be proud of?

It's better to think carefully about how to avoid making mistakes.

Gu Bugai felt that he didn't understand young people's thoughts enough, and that he seemed a bit out of place.

After a while, everyone quieted down.

"Whose melon should we eat?"

Lou Yuqing's most desired gossip is about her master, but it requires a full 100,000 points, and she will need to save up for several months to accumulate that many gossip points.

[Source: Wei Houming (1000 points)]

Lou Yuqing chuckled: "Captain Wei, it's you I've decided."
