Inside one of the rooms in the dual cultivation hall, Fu Yifan was completely naked and chained, and he kept begging the two people in front of him. However, they didn’t listen to him, and one of them stuffed his mouth with a small iron ball instead.

“What about Du Yanyao, Zuxian?” Gui Ya asked as he looked at Fu Yifan pitifully. .𝒎

Huang Zuxian let out a heavy sigh. “That woman still doesn’t trust me, and she never lowers her guard, so I haven’t been able to do anything to her. Have you found a way to approach Tao Ruirui?”

“Not yet.” Gui Ya answered by shaking his head. “Over the past three days, Tao Ruirui went to see those three women, but Xiao Xiao kept ignoring her, which made her angry, and she locked herself in the room afterward.”

“I see.” Huang Zuxian nodded in understanding. “We have to look another way to make them submit to us, but we can’t do it openly because Tian Ya and those elders are keeping a close eye on our movements.”

Gui Ya then thought for some time before speaking. “Anyway, those elders always look at me with suspicion, and they seem to suspect my identity.”

“How is that possible? Can they see through your disguise?”

“I don’t think so.” Gui Ya suddenly remembered Ling Yu’er. “I guessed that white-haired woman could see through my disguise, and she might have told Tian Ya about it.”

“Hmm?” Huang Zuxian frowned after she heard that. “Who exactly is that woman? I heard from Du Yanyao that her name was Ling Yu’er, and she was indeed one of Mo Chen’s wives, but she didn’t know their background, so I couldn’t delve deeper into their identities.”

“En.” Gui Ya nodded and told her about his suspicions. “I feel that the appearance of Mo Chen is truly strange; even the spies in Tian City do not have any information about him. He suddenly appeared out of nowhere and already had a good relationship with the Tian Clan; even Tian Huang took him as his disciple. Beside, I heard from them that Tian Yueling’s recovery coincided with his sudden appearance, and her family decided to hand him over to her because of that.”

Huang Zuxian nodded repeatedly after hearing that, but she suddenly remembered something else. “Do you think Mo Chen’s sudden appearance has something to do with Jiange Xiuxi’s return? I’ve heard from my ancestor and the others that she has an unusual ability, and it’s related to voids, so I think they are related to each other.”

“Your guess is probably correct.” Gui Ya then asked her. “What if we do something about that little girl? She is the weakest of the three, so I think we can do something about her.”

“No.” Huang Zuxian rejected her idea. “Ling Xiya was indeed the weakest among them, but they were always by her side. If your guess that Ling Yu’er can see through your disguise is true, I’m sure that they are already on guard against us, so we don’t need to risk clashing with them.”

“So what should we do next?”

“Hmm?” Huang Zuxian fell into deep thought for quite a while. “Anyway, there were six new disciples, and they were very weak, but Du Yanyao already had a plan for them. However, I’m not sure if her plan will work, especially since they have a relationship with those three. Perhaps we can take advantage of her plan to do something against them, so we can use them to get more information about Mo Chen and his wives.”

“Do they really have a relationship with them?”

“Three days ago, Du Yanyao and I checked on them, and we saw Ling Yu’er talking to them.”

Gui Ya nodded in understanding. “You can go see Du Yanyao again, and I will try to find a way to approach Tao Ruirui ASAP.”

After that, they left the room, leaving Fu Yifan, who was tied to the wall behind, to struggle to free himself.

Jiao Lu walked alone with a sad face, as she had tried to apologize to her master, but Tao Ruirui was still unwilling to see her, and she even kicked her out of their residence.

Suddenly, a rabbit who was none other than Yue Tu landed on top of Jiao Lu’s head, and she immediately asked her. “Why do you look so sad? Did Tao Ruirui torture you again?”

“No.” Jiao Lu answered by shaking her head. “However, she doesn’t want to see me anymore, and she also chased me out, so I don’t know what to do next, especially since she is my master.”

Yue Tu was not surprised to hear that, as she herself knew Tao Ruirui quite well. “You don’t need to be sad like this, right? Since she’s kicked you out now, it would be better if you went to meet Xiao Xiao and the others, and they would definitely be willing to accept you, especially since you had dual-cultivated with Mo Chen before. As for your contract with her, Big Sis Yu might be able to do something for you, and she might be able to help you to forcibly revoke it.”

“Can she really do that?” Jiao Lu asked as she looked up at her.

“En.” Yue Tu nodded to her. “Master and I have known her for a long time, but she is very mysterious, and her abilities are quite unique, so I’m sure that he can help you with that.”

“I see.” Jiao Lu nodded in understanding and walked straight to their residence. “Do you know where Mo Chen went? I haven’t seen him for the past three days, and he didn’t even take me with him.”

“Mo Chen went back to his origin planet to do something, but he will probably be back in a few days, so you can wait for him patiently.”

“Why don’t you go with him, Senior Yue? Don’t you like being by his side?”

“Hehehe.” Yue Tu laughed bitterly at that. “I do like staying by his side, but I’m still Elder Chenyu’s beast contract, so I can’t leave her side continuously.”

Before long, they had arrived at the residence, and Yue Tu helped Jiao Lu explain her situation to the three women.

Xiao Xiao nodded in understanding after hearing everything. “Since Tao Ruirui kicked you out because of our husband, you can stay here with us. As for your contract with her, I can’t do anything to help you, so we have to wait for him to come back first before thinking of a way out.”

“Thank you.” Jiao Lu said it with a sigh of relief.

Elsewhere, Du Yanyao was holding and observing a bottle filled with pink liquid, and she then asked one of the three women in front of her. “Are you sure that this potion will be useful against them, Hei Wu?”

“Yes, young miss.” Hei Wu then told her. “I’m certain that those three men will experience its effects in a similar way to my father because my mother used this potion to win him over, and he is now submissive to her.

“Oh?” Not only was Du Yanyao surprised to hear that, but the two women beside Hei Wu were also surprised after hearing her confession.

“Haha.” Hei Wu rubbed her head awkwardly because of their gazes. “Actually, this matter is very confidential, but my mother has a master, and her master is one of the elders of the Yanluo Sect.”

“The Yanluo Sect?” The three women screamed in shock as they knew that the sect was also a dual cultivation sect, and they were well aware of their bad reputation.

“Are you serious about that?” Du Yanyao asked with a frown. “Does that mean your mother came from one of those heretic clans?”

“No.” Hei Wu immediately denied that. “My mother came from a third-grade clan, so she never joined that sect, and she met her master by accident. After that person heard about her unrequited love story, she felt sorry for her, so she took her as a disciple, and she taught her a lot about forbidden techniques in dual cultivation; one of them is how to concoct that potion.”

“I see.” Du Yanyao nodded in understanding before asking her again. “Did your mother teach you those forbidden techniques?”

“My mother taught me several techniques, and they have been very useful for me.” Hei Wu then asked her. “Do you want to learn those techniques, young miss? However, you have to use them carefully, or the Sect Master and Elders will regard you as heretics, and they might punish you very severely.”

Du Yanyao didn’t give an answer straight away, and she thought things over more thoroughly first, but she was eventually tempted to learn them, as she knew that the dual cultivators of the Yanluo Sect were strong. “Give those techniques to me, and I’ll try their uses myself.”

“En.” Hei Wu nodded and touched Du Yanyao’s forehead, and several techniques immediately flashed through her mind.

While they were waiting for Du Yanyao to learn the techniques, Yue Ye and Hong Fa said to Hei Wu. “Hey, share those techniques with us too, so we can be as strong as you when dual cultivating with them.”

Hei Wu shared the techniques with them directly, and she also warned them. “You guys must remember my warning, especially you, Yue Ye. You are the most careless among us, or Sect Master, and the others will punish us if they find out.”
