"Saying these words is just an introduction to tell you what borrowing the Celestial Ladder means. The consequences of the Celestial Ladder Skill can be good or bad. If the ladder is not well placed, you might even fall from it.

Just now, two seniors from the Magic Sect came to see me—Yu Shangzhen, a Tier Five martial artist of the Heart Plate Sect, and Wan Zhongle, a Tier Five medicine gatherer of the Alchemy Sect. I also used the technique of borrowing the Celestial Ladder..."

After taking such a roundabout way, Qian Guran finally returned to the main topic. He explained what had just happened, focusing on the fact that he disclosed his guess to those two seniors—that He Kao might be the secret disciple of Elder Jiang Daozhen.

He absolutely had to inform He Kao personally about this matter. With the earlier setup, He Kao could fully grasp his intention.

He Kao: "I see, thank you! I always knew Old Qian's ways were profound, but I didn't expect them to be this deep."

Qian Guran waved his hand: "It's just a minor trick; your inexperience makes it seem deep. But they are also seasoned Jianghu people who can understand just from hearing, which may not go as I wish.

They might not personally take action, but they can instruct others—those who haven't heard of this matter could continue targeting you in the dark, still aiming to uncover the Hidden Moth's identity."

He Kao: "I don't understand. Didn't your Ancestral Hall already announce the information about Hidden Moth, stating that the Hidden Moth Object cannot be seized, and even issued a public invitation to the Hidden Moth?"

Qian Guran sighed: "That's the surface of it, but in private, everyone still has their own thoughts. For instance, Yu Shangzhen has his personal reasons, seeking the whereabouts of Yu Honglian.

Furthermore, although the Hidden Moth Object cannot be seized, if the identity of Hidden Moth is uncovered and there is a way to coerce this person, it still equates to possessing the Invisibility Ability.

The ability of Hidden Moth is truly enviable, convenient for both good and bad deeds. The only inconvenient part is not letting anyone discover the identity..."

He Kao: "Haven't they learned their lesson yet? They still dare to secretly send people to track Hidden Moth? Isn't this like the calabash brothers saving their grandfather, planning to send them one by one?"

Qian Guran was actually amused: "Isn't that analogy... a bit off? The calabash brothers weren't villains. If they're the calabash brothers, then who is the grandfather? And who is the Scorpion King and the beautiful snake?"

He Kao also laughed at himself: "So you've watched that cartoon too."

Qian Guran: "That's an old film from long ago; I'm older than you."

What He Kao was thinking was, if someone indeed plans to secretly watch Hidden Moth, are they out of their mind? Even the Sect Law Hall Elders can't manage such a thing, can they?

Let alone a True Moth like him, even former Fake Moth Xiaopang would immediately notice if being secretly observed. But the two seemed to have a tacit understanding, both refrained from mentioning Huang Xiaopang.

Even in such a setting, Qian Guran used his Divine Sense to check the surroundings, confirmed that no one was eavesdropping, yet maintained the necessary caution.

He Kao inadvertently glanced at President Qian's large desk again because on it lay a pair of golden paperweights, engraved with unique plum branch patterns—the items He Kao had given to Lawyer Yao.

He Kao's original intention was to have Lawyer Yao exchange them for cash, with agent fees and all related expenses deducted from it. However, Lawyer Yao never mentioned the settlement, yet today, the paperweights appeared here with Old Qian.

He Kao noticed them as soon as he entered the room, but since Qian Guran didn't mention them, he didn't ask proactively.

At this moment, Qian Guran noticed his gaze and as if just remembering, stood up to take the pair of paperweights, saying: "Xiao Kao, if you truly want to sell this pair of paperweights, I intend to buy them.

Don't speak yet, listen to me. I have a very special purpose, consider it as me taking a huge advantage of you!

About the matters mentioned earlier, there's no need to worry excessively. It's related to my cultivation; there's something I haven't had the chance to report to the Ancestral Hall yet, you really should congratulate me..."
