Chapter 1091: Chapter 1089: Investigation Arrived! (Five Updates!)

After a long while, their lips parted.

Xu Shihan reached out to cradle Ren Feifan’s face, comforting him, "Feifan, you don’t need to say anything, I know Qingcheng has left, but she hasn’t left us forever. You promised me just now that you would take me with you to the Hidden Gate to find her, right?"

Xu Shihan’s voice brushed through Ren Feifan’s heart like a spring breeze, dispelling all the oppressiveness he felt.

Stunned by Xu Shihan’s words for several seconds, Ren Feifan finally burst into a radiant glow in his eyes.

"Yes, we will find her, no matter where she has gone!"

Xu Shihan was always like that, appearing when Ren Feifan needed her the most.

Her very presence now stabilized Ren Feifan’s spirit and even brought a touch of warmth to his heart, preventing him from devolving into madness.

Xu Shihan smiled, helped Ren Feifan stand, as he was weak at the moment. He had been injured already, and had later exerted all his strength in pursuing Ye Youde, leaving him utterly exhausted.

Xu Shihan had planned to take Ren Feifan inside the saintly gate, but to her surprise, Ren Feifan suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on a pavilion in the distance.

"Shihan, let’s sit in the pavilion for a while," he said.

Xu Shihan paused, following Ren Feifan’s gaze to the pavilion. She knew it was Ye Qingcheng’s favorite spot, where she seemed untouched by worldly concerns, spending her afternoons enjoying the flowers and watering them.

It was as if the world had nothing to do with her.

This back garden had indeed become Ye Qingcheng’s domain.

Xu Shihan also knew that Ye Qingcheng and Ren Feifan occasionally played chess here.

She helped Ren Feifan to a stone table and saw the flying chess set on the ground. She silently picked it up and spread it on the table, arranging the pieces one by one.

Xu Shihan’s hands trembled slightly; although she appeared calm, it was all a façade. If she hadn’t acted strong and instead had broken down crying, Ren Feifan’s anger would have been even more intense.

She had long regarded Ye Qingcheng as her close sister.

She was well aware of Ye Qingcheng’s affection for Ren Feifan.

Loving someone is not about being selfish; Ren Feifan’s greatness was not meant for her alone.

Thus, Xu Shihan had come to terms with everything.

Therefore, not only was Ren Feifan heartbroken by Ye Qingcheng’s departure, but so was Xu Shihan.

What exactly was inside the Hidden Gate?

Was Ye Qingcheng doing well there?

That was his utmost concern.

Watching Xu Shihan, Ren Feifan seized her hand.

"Shihan, thank you."

Forcing a calm demeanor, Xu Shihan smiled, pinched Ren Feifan’s cheek, and said, "Thank me for what, silly. If you really want to thank me, would you promise me one thing?"

Ren Feifan was taken aback, then nodded immediately, "You are my wife, whatever you say, I will agree!"

Xu Shihan smiled, a myriad of charms in her expression.

"My request is simple. Play a game of flying chess with me. But after we finish, you need to rest and heal. Practice diligently and keep a happy heart every day. When we’re fully prepared, we’ll go to the Hidden Gate together and rescue Qingcheng! Feifan, don’t worry about Qingcheng either; I can tell that old man doesn’t want anything bad to happen to her, so Qingcheng is safe for the time being."

Ren Feifan felt the warmth of Xu Shihan’s palm and sensed her sincere efforts to support him.

Having such a wife, what more could he ask for?

Ren Feifan rolled the dice and made his first move...

The game ended quickly, with Xu Shihan winning.

Pretending to be elated like a child, Xu Shihan instructed, "Feifan, remember what I just said, or I won’t talk to you anymore!"

Ren Feifan did not want to let Xu Shihan down, so he nodded heavily.

Afterwards, Xu Shihan helped Ren Feifan to the cultivation room.

What he needed most now was to seclude himself for cultivation to heal his body.

Luo Yin from the Sacred Gate had also recovered under the aid of the Elixir and began to reorganize the Sacred Gate.

This time, the Sacred Gate had suffered the most severe damage in its history.

Twenty-seven disciples had died, and forty-two were injured.

Of course, following the instructions previously given by the Holy Master, these people were treated with the best care, whether dead or alive.

The desire-free Daoist and Old Lady Feng, among others, were also severely injured and began their secluded recovery.

The entire Sacred Gate was silent, lacking the vibrancy of the past.

However, the disciples of the Sacred Gate still trained desperately like sharp swords, as this battle had made them feel their insignificance and helplessness!

Thus, the only path was to strengthen themselves.

...

Three days later, one morning.

Two men dressed in casual clothes arrived at the grand entrance of the Sacred Gate, which had its signboard rewritten and rehung.

It still looked imposing.

One of the men in casual clothes, holding a briefcase, pushed up his glasses, took a slight sniff with his nose, and said to his companion:

"This must be the place, the magnetic field here is somewhat peculiar, and there’s clearly a fluctuation of True Qi. Based on my guess, the battle that erupted in the secular world three days ago can only have occurred here."

The companion took out a Compass from his bag, pinched his fingers in a gesture, and a breeze stirred, blowing his shirt.

The Compass spun a few times, and its red pointer directly pointed to the back garden of the Sacred Gate.

"Old Lee, this is indeed the place. The smell of blood is strong here, and there are some lingering regrets around, presumably many died in that great battle. What exactly is Ye Youde playing at, a master of the Wanxiang Realm from the Hidden Gate overtly challenging the cultivator’s treaty and even harming the people in the secular world, causing such heavy casualties. We must capture him this time!"

Glasses-wearing Old Lee nodded, "Finding him may still be a problem, let’s go, we should talk to the person in charge of this place. Since it’s our people from the Hidden Gate that caused the casualties, we should compensate if possible. Otherwise, if this matter reaches those places, we will also suffer."

Having said that, the two men headed towards the grand entrance of the Sacred Gate.

But after walking a few steps and just about to approach, the two gatekeepers of the Sacred Gate looked at the two men with a vigilant expression!

The incident three days ago had everyone in the Sacred Gate on edge!

They were even stricter with outsiders.

Soon, five or six experts rushed into the Sacred Gate, ready for battle!

"Who goes there!" one of the gatekeepers called out in a cold voice, completely unapologetic.

The glasses-wearing man pushed up his glasses and smiled, "Fellow brothers, don’t be nervous. We mean no harm. We are inspectors from the Outer Hidden Sect, specifically responsible for overseeing the use of absolute power by people from the Outer Hidden Sect in the secular world. This is my Identity Token."

As he spoke, the glasses-wearing man took out a Token from his briefcase, which had the words "Inspector of the Imperial Censor" engraved on it.

He also took out a document to prove it.

The gatekeepers of the Sacred Gate looked at each other in disbelief, completely distrustful of the two men claiming to be from the Hidden Gate.

Or as inspectors.

These two people looked more like those who sold products.

Dressed in business suits, with harmless smiles.

Also, since when did people from the Hidden Gate carry briefcases?

What an international joke.
