Lin Xiao's words immediately caused Yuan Feifei to fall silent.
"Shouldn't be, I guess..." Her smile was a little forced.
While what Lin Xiao said was true, it also felt a bit off.
"To be able to make your sect leader go all in so readily, Tang Qing has some considerable skills," Lin Xiao said. "Skills in whatever aspect, considerable indeed."
"Truly..." Ning Fengzhi rested his chin in his hand, agreeing with Lin Xiao's words. "To make a sect leader make such a decision is quite remarkable."
Yuan Feifei thought about it carefully, and it did seem to make sense.
"I want to learn about this person, Tang Qing, from you," Lin Xiao suddenly stopped, his true energy enveloping the three of them, ensuring their conversation could not be overheard.
"I..." Yuan Feifei then fell into thought, not answering Lin Xiao's question immediately. She pondered carefully. "Regarding Uncle-Master Tang... I didn't know him very well. All I know is that after he arrived, our Hehuan Sect improved."
"You don't even know when your sect leader got together with him?" Lin Xiao asked the question that was bothering him the most.
"I do remember when they got together. It was about a year ago, wasn't it?" Yuan Feifei tried hard to recall. "Back then, if I remember correctly, Uncle-Master Tang actually got lost. He got lost near our original location and coincidentally met us."
"Lost?"
Lin Xiao found it rather strange.
In an era where you could bring a mobile phone with GPS and call for a ride, unless you were in an extremely remote place, how could one get lost?
At the very least, with navigation, you could find civilization within a few kilometers.
"Yes... He said his phone was lost then, and he just kept walking until he ended up with us," Yuan Feifei explained. "I have to say, Uncle-Master Tang is quite impressive. He encountered several of our sisters then, but he wasn't tempted by our beauty at all."
"Well said, beauty."
Ning Fengzhi exclaimed beside them.
Yuan Feifei glanced at him. "What? Do you think I'm not beautiful enough? Or that one of our sisters from the Hehuan Sect isn't?"
"Not at all."
Ning Fengzhi quickly replied.
"That makes sense too," Lin Xiao nodded.
"Then, we invited him to have a meal with us in the canteen, and then, it seems he and my master fell in love at first sight," Yuan Feifei scratched her head, feeling quite bewildered. How could her master, who was so high and mighty, fall in love at first sight with Uncle-Master Tang?
"Love at first sight? Was it mutual, or did Tang Qing win over your master?" Lin Xiao was more concerned about the sequence of events.
"It should be love at first sight for both sides," Yuan Feifei said. "In less than a week, my master announced that they were together, and they even got their marriage certificate."
"Quick marriage."
Ning Fengzhi and Lin Xiao exchanged glances. The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, who must have met many men, had entered into marriage with a man so easily.
There were still many inconsistencies if one were to think about it.
Of course, all of these could be explained by love at first sight. Perhaps Li Zhiyan had always wanted to find a man to rely on, and Tang Qing just happened to appear, even if his method of appearance wasn't quite right.
"Then Uncle-Master Tang also contacted his family and friends, held a wedding, and afterwards, along with my master, moved into the Hehuan Sect," Yuan Feifei said, glancing at Ning Fengzhi. "Uncle-Master Tang is the man with the most self-control I've ever met. In the past year at the Hehuan Sect, he has never spoken unnecessary words to our sisters, nor has he done anything out of line. Our charm techniques have also had no effect on him."
"Charm techniques, no effect."
Lin Xiao repeated the sentence.
These charm techniques were undeniably designed to ignite desire from within. If they had no effect, it meant either the person was immune to them or had no desire.
Humans without desire would be considered enlightened beings who were indifferent to worldly matters, but Tang Qing did not appear to be such a person.
There was only one possibility.
The charm techniques had no effect on Tang Qing.
How could he achieve this, when even Lin Xiao himself wasn't sure if he could resist them? And to maintain such immunity for an entire year?
Wasn't that the conduct of a sage?
Something was off.
"Then, it should have been three months after Master and Uncle-Master Tang got married, they made the decision to sell our original location, relocate here, and invest in businesses in the secular world, aiming to establish an entertainment empire and an intelligence network," Yuan Feifei said, trying her best to recall.
However, she didn't think for too long; she had already revealed almost everything she knew and remembered.
"Hmm..."
Lin Xiao then pressed further, "Have you seen him interact with anyone outside the sect?"
"Never. He was basically inseparable from the sect leader. Apart from that time at the mixed smoke event, I haven't seen anyone related to Uncle-Master Tang," Yuan Feifei replied.
"Then..."
Lin Xiao took out his phone and flipped through some photos. "Were any of these people present at the wedding banquet?"
Yuan Feifei looked at the people in the photos. After a moment of thought, she shook her head. "I don't know about that. It was a while ago, and I wasn't interested in men back then; I was focused on my cultivation. I didn't pay much attention to these people."
"You weren't interested in men back then?" Ning Fengzhi, keenly catching the key point, quickly asked, "Are you interested in men now?"
"You!"
Yuan Feifei's face turned slightly red at Ning Fengzhi's question, and she turned her head away. "I'm not particularly interested!"
"Oh."
Ning Fengzhi's voice carried a hint of disappointment.
However, it was clear that this disappointment was intentionally conveyed to Yuan Feifei.
This fellow...
Lin Xiao shook his head. He had no idea what would happen between these two later. He felt that with Ning Fengzhi like this, it would take quite some time for him to get together with Yuan Feifei.
He put away his phone, still lost in thought.
"What's wrong, Divine Doctor? Do you suspect that Uncle-Master Tang is somehow connected to the issues my master is facing?" Yuan Feifei asked anxiously, seeing Lin Xiao's demeanor. "If they are connected, I'll go kill him right now!"
"Don't rush."
Lin Xiao quickly said, "I'm just curious and asking casually. It's not what you think."
"That's good then..."
