He Kao was baffled by such a plain address and recipient, and instinctively asked, "Is this a legitimate village committee?"

Old Man Jiang spat at him over the phone, "You're the one who's not legitimate! It's a formal administrative division of the state, check it online if you don't believe me."

He Kao: "So, the Magic Sect's Hall of Sect Rules and this Cai Ping Village Committee, are they one organization with two names?" He understood this matter; Qi Yuan Branch of the Tengxin Group and Cloud Services Division were the same institution with two names.

Jiang Daozhen: "You can be taught."

He Kao: "What if the email I sent to the Hall of Sect Rules gets mixed with the village committee's email, how will the recipient differentiate it?"

Jiang Daozhen: "There's a small code; change the way the 'Zheng' in 'Zong Zheng' is written. The top horizontal line shouldn't extend to the right, and the bottom one shouldn't extend to the left."

He Kao silently pictured this and replied, "Isn't that just an '卍' with two strokes missing?"

Jiang Daozhen: "Exactly, Elder Zong's nickname is 'Double Missing.'"

The old man could joke about it, but He Kao couldn't keep up with it, so he quickly changed the subject and reminded, "Nowadays all email documents are printed, that character can't be printed."

Jiang Daozhen: "There's another code, write an extra 'Zong' character, turning 'Zong Zheng' into 'Zong Zheng Zong,' which indicates that the email is for the Hall of Sect Rules."

He Kao: "If you don't send a package and only write a letter, don't you just send an email now, isn't there an email address?"

Jiang Daozhen: "Did a few days abroad make your brain degenerate? I already told you that's a legitimate village committee, how could it not have an email address? Check it online yourself!"

Phoenix Tail Town is located on the south side of Zhou Nan Mountain Range. Looking at the satellite map, the majestic Zhou Nan Mountain Range stretches from east to west, inclining southward with nine branches that resemble the tail feathers of a phoenix.

Among these nine branches, there are eight small basins in the mountains, locally known as the "Seven Phoenix Tails."

Clearly, there are eight basins, so why call it Seven Phoenix Tails? Are the locals just bad at counting? Various explanations exist, even tying into all kinds of celestial and mythical tales.

The dumbest theory suggests that a fairy counted seven secluded mountain secret places here but forgot to count the spot where they stood.

The most credible theory: Seven of these eight basins are surrounded by mountains, almost completely isolated from the world.

Only the third basin, counting from west to east, is not fully enclosed; its southern side has a mountain pass connecting to the outside, and this is where the Phoenix Tail Town government is located, also known as Floating Colors Platform.

Cai Ping Village isn't among these eight basins but is located outside the mountain opening of Floating Colors Platform, serving as an inevitable stop before entering Phoenix Tail Town.

Phoenix Tail Town governs eight administrative villages, which are also eight natural villages; aside from Cai Ping Village, they are Floral Shocking Platform, Pijing Plateau, Book Review, Feather Realm Platform, Immortal Pot Plateau, Cloud Ascension Plateau, Fengyu Plateau, known as the Seven Phoenix Tails.

They are also the sites where the Ancestral Halls of the Seven Great Magic Sects are located. Ancestral Hall is not inside the natural village but in the Blessed Land Grotto Heaven near the village. Each of the Seven Great Magic Sects possesses a Blessed Land Grotto Heaven.

Qian Guran will go to the Ancestral Hall for the second time to receive initiation and inherit high-tier techniques. First, he must reach Cloud Ascension Plateau in Phoenix Tail Town, and then enter Cloud Ascension Grotto Heaven under the guidance of a Sect Steward.

Of course, He Kao couldn't find this information online, but he found the locations of Phoenix Tail Town, Cai Ping Village, and the Seven Phoenix Tails and saw their terrain on a satellite map, along with finding a bunch of news reports.

In ancient times, to enter the Seven Phoenix Tails, one needed to climb over mountains and trek through primitive forests, but today people don't need to do this because of the Village Connectivity Project.

Under the leadership of the local government, the roads were not only extended from Cai Ping Village to Phoenix Tail Town but also tunneled left through two mountain ranges, right through five mountain ranges, ensuring that all seven natural villages are accessible by road.

The Seven Phoenix Tails not only have road access but also electricity and internet, all developments in the last twenty years.

As for why the Hall of Sect Rules chose Cai Ping Village as the "office location," it likely remains due to convenient transportation, so visitors don't need to delve deeper without reason.

The director of Cai Ping Village Committee is Zong Zheng. He Kao found the email address, which is not Zong Zheng's private address but rather the official address of the village committee.

For He Kao, email is probably the safest form of contact; as long as he pays attention to operation, it's difficult for the other party to identify the sender's identity.

No need to mention what He Kao was busy with; on the other end, Jiang Daozhen hung up the phone, only to hear Li Xiuyuan beside him say, "Kang Rulin's reaction was all within your expectations."

Jiang Daozhen: "Obvious things are within your expectations too, aren't they?"

Li Xiuyuan: "Kang Rulin doesn't favor the Shi Family, wants to cut ties but finds it hard since he comes from under Shi Gaoyu and benefitted from the teachings, it wouldn't seem right not to look after Shi family's descendants.

His wife was Shi Gaoyu's daughter, ten years older than him, and has been deceased for twenty years. None of his disciples are from the Shi family. He never invested in the Shi Family's businesses but accepted gifts from juniors during festive occasions.

Still, many things the Shi Family has done over the years, even if not explicitly stated, relied on his reputation as an Elder of the Hall of Sect Rules.

This time, Kang Rulin included himself on the list for admonition and retrieval, but upon examining carefully, nothing could be retrieved from him, showing how cleanly he severed ties in private.

Thus, many people instead praised Elder Kang for his self-discipline and selfless integrity, not affecting his reputation at all."
