"Don’t you lose it, or I’ll have to break out of jail just to beat you up."
"This thing can get lost?" Jiang Man asked in surprise.
"Of course. Any Magical Treasure can be lost, so don’t let it get stolen," Yu Wanyi reminded him.
Jiang Man couldn’t put it down. This thing was just too useful.
Especially since it was so rare.
You couldn’t find them on the market at all; they were rare items Forged by the Sect.
Who knew how many years it would take before they were mass-produced.
But with the breakthroughs in Spirit Sword Forging technology, these Storage Treasures would surely enter the market just like Spirit Swords in the future. Then, once the technology advanced to a certain point, everyone would be able to have one.
But that was a long time from now. And here he was—an Unparalleled Celestial Pride and number one in the Outer Sect—already possessing such a rare Storage Treasure at his young age.
No wonder Senior Brother Ren Qian had told him to bring his things along. This must have been what he was talking about.
’I should have listened to Senior Brother Ren Qian. Now I don’t have anything to test it with. I can’t wait to go back.’
"Also, I heard you accepted the newcomer’s mission for the Inner Sect?" Yu Wanyi asked.
"Yes," Jiang Man nodded. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Normally, this mission isn’t difficult. Many people complete it. Even if you don’t, it’s no big deal—you’ll just get a slightly worse-off courtyard and a weaker Instructor. It’ll be harder to attend lectures from famous Elders, but that’s about it." Yu Wanyi paused, then said, "But your situation is quite special. You shine too brightly, and you’re connected to the Evil God. Someone reported you today; tomorrow, someone might try to assassinate you.
"You need to be extra careful when you’re out on the mission.
"If it’s just some ordinary Inner Sect disciples targeting you, you’ll get a beating at worst. But if it’s the Evil God, it’ll be dangerous."
Jiang Man indicated that he understood.
Then, Senior Sister Yu brought up his dao companion, telling him to nurture their relationship.
Jiang Man said their relationship was very stable.
The other party was always looking for a chance to use some grand move on him.
After that, Jiang Man left.
He didn’t ask the Law Enforcement Hall to put on an act to deceive the Evil God’s subordinates.
Instead, he informed them that he would enter the ruined temple tonight and leave a message.
As soon as he got back, without even having a chance to show off his Storage Treasure, Jiang Man lay down and entered the ruined temple.
He wrote a message on the stone tablet.
"I thought my sincerity would be met with trust, not betrayal!"
"There’s a traitor in our midst."
After writing this, Jiang Man left.
’I’ll let them guess the rest. As for why I’m fine, they can guess that too.’
’I’m not going to tell them why.’
’Explaining too much just breeds suspicion. If I don’t explain, someone will come up with an explanation for me.’
As for the informant, the Law Enforcement Hall had tried to track them down but hadn’t had much success.
The other party’s methods were quite good.
As for why such people existed, Ren Qian had told him it was unavoidable.
Some of them were swayed by the Evil God from the very beginning, while others were corrupted during their promotions.
The Sect took in thousands of new disciples every year, and it was impossible to screen out everyone connected to the Evil God from among them.
They were very good at hiding and didn’t do anything to draw attention. freeweɓnovel.cøm
So they were very difficult to find.
Besides, it was impossible to raise the entry requirements. If they did, people from some remote areas might not even be able to get into the Yunqian Bureau.
The collateral damage would be too great.
It was better to let everyone in and then discover and deal with them internally.
It was dangerous, but within controllable limits.
Jiang Man understood. After all, he had an Evil God right next to him that did absolutely nothing.
It didn’t dare do anything.
That was how it avoided the Sect’s screening.
Jiang Man left the ruined temple and immediately opened his eyes.
He strode over to the Old Yellow Ox, then took out the small pouch and smiled. "Old Huang, take a look at what I’ve got in my hand."
The Old Yellow Ox looked at the thing in Jiang Man’s hand and silently continued to eat its grass.
