The reasons were entirely valid, and Lin Xiao expressed his understanding.
Ning Fengzhi also gave a thumbs up, "Impressive. If it were me, I couldn't have crossed the barrier of beauty."
"This isn't exactly a barrier of beauty..." As he said this, Tang Qing quickly lowered his voice, leaned in, and said cautiously, "Let me tell you, this thing is called a Shura Purgatory!"
"Figurative!"
Ning Fengzhi commented again with sincerity.
This truly was a Shura Purgatory! One wrong step would lead to eternal damnation!
One could only say, every family has its own difficult scripture to read...
Lin Xiao glanced at the man. Did he really believe Tang Qing's words? However, outwardly, he still chimed in, "As a man, you've worked hard."
"Not hard, not hard at all... Being able to be with Zhiyan is my fortune." Even now, Tang Qing was still very protective of his wife, never speaking ill of her behind her back. In fact, when he spoke of her, his face was full of adoration.
It was just unknown if Tang Qing knew Li Zhiyan's true age.
"Having a husband like you is great for Sect Leader Li," Lin Xiao nodded. He had just come to chat with Tang Qing, and incidentally, to observe him closely, to see if there was any unsuitable aura emanating from him.
At least, he hadn't found any unsuitable aura on him yet.
After chatting for a couple more sentences, he left with Ning Fengzhi.
"Didn't find anything?" Ning Fengzhi walked beside Lin Xiao, his eyes clearly drawn to the disciples of the Joyous Union Sect not far away, as he asked Lin Xiao.
"Not for now," Lin Xiao stopped walking.
Ning Fengzhi's body involuntarily bumped into Lin Xiao.
At this moment, Lin Xiao continued, "If you really want to see your Feifei, go ahead. Don't act as if I'm restricting you." Lin Xiao said to him, sounding annoyed.
Did he really think he didn't know? The man hadn't taken his eyes off Feifei since earlier.
"Really?"
When Ning Fengzhi heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Then I'll go over?"
"Go! Don't be an eyesore here!"
Lin Xiao urged him immediately. The man clearly had no intention of staying with him anyway, so it was better to let him go.
With Lin Xiao's words, Ning Fengzhi eagerly ran off to find Feifei.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao's gaze swept over Tang Qing, who had now entered a room.
A man, in such a place, who could maintain his integrity for an entire year, never looking at these female disciples more than necessary, nor having excessive contact with them, only Li Zhiyan...
Honestly, it wasn't just for a man, but for anyone, it would be hard to achieve this. It didn't require great willpower, but Lin Xiao couldn't even imagine how this man could endure the loneliness in this sect for so long.
Was he simply living off his wife?
Or was there something in his room that made him so reluctant to leave, even for a year?
He really wanted to sneak in and take a look.
However, it was inconvenient for him to sneak around with so many people present.
He'd see about it later. Soon, Zhu Guangyu would give him some feedback.
Just as Ning Fengzhi finally had the opportunity to accompany Yuan Feifei as they toured the Joyous Union Sect, Zhu Guangyu's message arrived.
It began with thanks to Lin Xiao for helping to register all the properties of the Joyous Union Sect, followed by information on Tang Qing.
There wasn't much information about Tang Qing.
Three years ago, he was an elite doctor on the frontline for epidemic prevention, even earning a third-class merit.
This was no small feat.
He was already a leading figure among young doctors, renowned both domestically and internationally.
None of this was what Lin Xiao truly wanted to know. He flipped through the document and finally found a key piece of information.
This Tang Qing, he was from Tianyi.
He was actually from Tianyi?
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao felt a bit strange. If he was from Tianyi, then the ghost fetus from a month ago should have nothing to do with him.
The information contained everything it should. Some wedding photos were also found, and the information about the people in them was also investigated. Some were colleagues from the hospital, some were former classmates, and some were from Tianyi.
There were no suspicious individuals.
That meant the incident a month ago should have no connection to him.
Then... who was it?
Could it be that those people from the Joyful Paradise Sect had truly lost their minds?
At this moment, he opened the second document.
This was information obtained from an elder of the Joyful Paradise Sect.
Upon seeing this information, Lin Xiao's brows furrowed deeply.
The people involved were from the Joyful Paradise Sect, and their motive for doing so was that they believed if they could control Li Zhiyan, they could then control the Joyous Union Sect.
Once the Joyous Union Sect was controlled, they would possess countless exquisite women, and by controlling the disciples of the Joyous Union Sect, they could control countless men. Then, the Joyful Paradise Sect would have everything!
This line of reasoning was indeed correct.
Then, the new address of the Joyous Union Sect was found by a disciple of the Joyful Paradise Sect.
As for who it was, the elder didn't remember, only knowing that the person knew someone within the Joyous Union Sect.
Also, this elder did not recognize Tang Qing.
Could this be the best outcome?
Lin Xiao casually closed the document. The matter of which disciple of the Joyous Union Sect leaked the sect's address was somewhat difficult to investigate.
This was no longer his concern. He could just inform Li Zhiyan about it later.
However, he was now even more curious. Although Tang Qing was from Tianyi, most people from Tianyi had very high standards for themselves and would see through whatever they decided to do.
For a whole year, he had no extra interaction with these female disciples, spending most of his time in this room, unless he came out to practice his skills. He could even give up his status and achievements outside for Li Zhiyan and stay on this mountain...
There must be something in that room that continuously attracted Tang Qing!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao decided to pay a visit to their room.
He walked to Tang Qing's door and knocked.
"Who is it?"
Tang Qing, inside the room, called out in a hoarse voice.
"It's me, Lin Xiao."
Lin Xiao found it a bit strange. He could clearly hear Tang Qing's breathing was a little rapid, as if he was doing something that excited him.
What could cause him to breathe erratically and become agitated all by himself? Lin Xiao could even feel that Tang Qing's blood flow had accelerated significantly.
"Coming right up!"
