Qian Guran nodded blankly, "You've seen their methods yourself, haven't you? Can they not do such things? That Yang Lingxi is just a tool and doesn't know someone is making her dance on the knife-edge."

He Kao: "Would I kill someone over such matters?"

Qian Guran shook his head, "I know you wouldn't, but the other side thinks you would. How did Liang Kai disappear, and how did so many others vanish silently?

In their eyes, at least to ordinary people, you are extremely dangerous and vicious!"

He Kao: "Are you not talking about Hidden Moth?"

Qian Guran: "Yes, I'm talking about Hidden Moth. Don't misunderstand, this isn't my evaluation on Hidden Moth, but those people's view on him.

Everyone knows that the current Hidden Moth has a bad temper, couldn't tolerate any nonsense!

Everyone knows you're not Hidden Moth, but everyone also knows Hidden Moth is related to you. Even if you don't know Hidden Moth's identity, Hidden Moth surely knows you.

Everything those people have aimed at you is provocation and threat to Hidden Moth in his eyes, so he took action.

If Hidden Moth is covertly watching, he will surely notice Yang Lingxi's issue. She's trying to approach you, investigating your social relations, analyzing clues about Hidden Moth's identity.

Even if Hidden Moth doesn't take action, you're not an ordinary person!

Rumor has it that you are a secret disciple of an elder from the Ancestral Hall, would you continue to tolerate repeated provocations and offenses from a normal person, without taking action against her?"

He Kao: "If I wanted to handle someone, I wouldn't have to kill her."

Qian Guran shook his head, "When it comes to that moment, whether she lives or dies is not necessarily up to you.

Once you take action, no matter if it's public or private, regardless of the method. Even if you don't kill her, the other party might, and would direct the police investigation clues towards you, and fabricate various incriminating evidence against you."

He Kao took a sharp breath, "Is such a thing really possible?"

Qian Guran: "This is merely a prediction, predicting the worst scenario. Both of us don't know who's behind all this, but if it were someone like Zhao Hai Zhen, do you think they'd refrain from doing it?

Since there's a possibility, we must guard against it. So if you want to dismantle the threshold, dismantle precisely this threshold, stop it before it happens!"

He Kao: "If that Yang Lingxi knew she'd die, would she still do as you suggest?"

Qian Guran: "We need to look at this from both perspectives.

Firstly, if my predicted scenario indeed happens, she probably doesn't think she's courting death, merely considering herself following the orchestrator's arrangement.

She might not understand your background, nor the ties between you and Hidden Moth, not even know what happened before.

In the orchestrator's view, she's just a tool to make you err and reveal flaws.

But examining from another angle, she's aware of her deeds. She couldn't be oblivious to her secret filming, couldn't be unaware of her slandering an innocent person, she's doing it deliberately!"

He Kao: "So I gave her a chance today, asked if she's under duress, helpless? A normal person caught in such matters might end up utterly shattered!"

Qian Guran sighed again, "That's already the utmost benevolence, your perpetual goodwill is why I'm willing to assist you. But her situation is different from that girl named Meng Ya."

He Kao frowned, "Your words cut through, I feel similarly. Because of the situation with Meng Ya, I instinctively considered her another Meng Ya, yet the circumstances are different."

Qian Guran: "Meng Ya accepted your goodwill, but Yang Lingxi might not perceive or want to believe this kindness from you."

He Kao: "It's unavoidable, I only seek a clear conscience… Old Qian, how do you think this threshold should be dismantled?"

Qian Guran waved his hand, "Better for you to go on a vacation abroad first! No matter how this drama unfolds, you need to be present, so let's handle it after you return. Let me watch over things, I'll communicate with you if anything arises."

He Kao: "I'm concerned about one more thing, someone scrutinizing people related to me, that day Yang Lingxi saw me and Meng Ya at the cafe. I worry they might trace back to Meng Ya, potentially harming her."

Qian Guran's expression tightened, "Explain the situation to me again, carefully recount Yang Lingxi's every word and action, lest any detail is missed."

He Kao narrated in detail, his meeting with Meng Ya that evening, Yang Lingxi's appearance and her actions, without concealing Lin Qingshuang's silent eavesdropping.

Qian Guran pondered, "They cannot employ tactics on everyone you've met or known, only targeting suspicious clues related to Hidden Moth, otherwise, they can't finish the screening.

Honestly, I initially checked on your eldest aunt's family, but found no clues.

Considering the situation back then, from my perspective, the truly suspicious person isn't the tearful Meng Ya, it's your fellow student Xiaomiao, working at the café.

She defended your privacy, even drove Yang Lingxi away for it. Just a humble working waitress, later left on her own, leaving the whole place to you.

She embarrassed Yang Lingxi, so out of frustration, Yang Lingxi might report back to her orchestrator—Xiaomiao is a bit suspicious… You need to analyze her mindset."

He Kao realized, "Right, how did I not think of that!"

Qian Guran: "There's such a possibility, not necessarily true. This might be an opportunity, let me check who's secretly investigating Xiaomiao recently. You can go on vacation worry-free, leave this matter to me."

Actually, traveling abroad doesn't affect He Kao much, an instant thought allows him to return to Qi Yuan anytime. What truly shocked He Kao were Old Qian's series of analyses on the event's subsequent developments.

Before leaving, He Kao sincerely spoke, "Old Qian, thank you! Today was a real lesson, in things I don't understand, concerns I can't anticipate, there's still much to learn!"

Qian Guran smiled wryly, "Magic Sect disciples rely not only on techniques, but worldly affairs shouldn't hastily use techniques, usually involving the Celestial Ladder Skill, Array Technique, Threshold Skill, these methods; magic cultivation merely backs them.

I'm already a Tier Four Government Official of the Qi Observation Sect, Qi Observation Skill, in essence, is observing human hearts, being compelled to observe, often troubled or vexed by it.

You've only interacted less with many people, but are eager to learn, learning very quickly!"
