This person, expelled from the Misty Immortal Palace, why would he appear here?
What is he doing here?
Thinking this, he decided to contact the disciple currently liaising with them from the Misty Immortal Palace.
Upon hearing that Di Qing had actually appeared in the imperial capital, the other party was also full of confusion. "Senior Brother Lin, we are not very clear about Di Qing's situation. We did have disciples secretly follow him as required before, but not long after, we lost him."
"Lost him?"
Lin Xiao frowned. "Were you not tracking him with my people?"
"Yes, both of us lost him."
"About when did this happen?"
Lin Xiao asked. He had lost Di Qing but only found out about it today? Someone had concealed the information and not reported it.
"Just two days ago."
"Good."
After the call ended, he immediately called the relevant person in charge. "Do you know about losing Di Qing?"
"I..."
The person on the other end of the line clearly hesitated before saying, "I was just about to report it."
"Good, you can collect three months' salary, and from now on, you are dismissed," Lin Xiao said coldly.
"Dragon King! I was just trying my best to find Di Qing's whereabouts. I was planning to report it if I couldn't find him within forty-eight hours. I wasn't withholding information..."
"Forty-eight hours? If you haven't located the target within two hours, you need to request support from your superiors. And now you're telling me you were preparing to wait forty-eight hours? Don't you know how dangerous this person is? Don't you understand how serious it is if a Grandmaster, who is uncontrolled and lacks any modern societal living experience, appears in modern society?"
Lin Xiao did not want to listen to the man's explanation. "Get out!"
Lin Xiao hung up the phone immediately after saying this.
Someone actually concealed information. These people are too complacent.
He stared at Di Qing in the video feed.
This person had passed by the entrance once.
It was merely passing by.
But to Lin Xiao now, he felt that this person posed a significant problem.
He was suddenly free from surveillance, appeared at this hospital, and in this surveillance footage... He looked closely and found that Di Qing seemed to be just window shopping in the hospital. He walked around and left the hospital directly. He neither did anything strange nor registered for medical treatment.
This was the most abnormal thing.
"Everyone, find Di Qing for me."
Lin Xiao immediately made Di Qing their top priority for searching.
...
"I've completed what you asked."
Di Qing was in a dimly lit room, his face filled with greed. Standing before him was a person hidden in a cloak. The black cloak made them almost invisible in the pitch-dark room; one would have to look carefully to realize someone was there.
"Mm."
After nodding, the person extended a hand. In their palm was a spirit stone.
Seeing the spirit stone, Di Qing's eyes lit up. As a former disciple of the Misty Immortal Palace, how could he not know what this was? This was the foundation for his future cultivation!
He had only discovered after entering the mortal world that the spiritual energy in the mortal world was truly too scarce, not on the same level as that of the Misty Immortal Palace. He found it almost impossible to comprehend martial arts here.
