He Kao had a feud with the Alchemy Sect, from the Supreme Elder to the current Steward, he had offended them all. Of course, according to the public conclusion after the Ancestral Hall's investigation, He Kao was innocent, and the responsibility lay entirely with some disciples of the Alchemy Sect.

But it cannot be denied that, from the perspective of those people, they already had a grudge against He Kao.

During last year's "Qi Yuan Incident" around October, quite a few people had ideas about He Kao.

However, people like Qian Guran and Ye Yuxuan only secretly replaced his pendant, without any intention of harming him, and they later voluntarily apologized and confessed, reconciling with He Kao.

But Liang Kai, a disciple of the Alchemy Sect, directly barged in with a gun to interrogate He Kao, and thus was taken down by Huang Xiaopang.

Liang Kai was the disciple of Wan Zhongle, a Steward of the Alchemy Sect and a Tier Five Medicine Gatherer, who later sent another disciple, Zhao Hai Zhen, to Qi Yuan.

Zhao Hai Zhen ostensibly came to investigate his junior brother's disappearance, but privately he intended to "capture" the Hidden Moth, gathering a group of Magic Sect scoundrels, he kidnapped He Kao and Gao Xue'e, trying to lure out the Hidden Moth.

They succeeded because they really lured out Huang Xiaopang, but they also failed when they were all taken down in the gunfight at Joy Valley.

Wan Zhongle himself also came to Qi Yuan, only to be kicked and have his leg broken by Elder Ye, receiving punishment of a sealed year, which by calculation, ends only next month.

This January, there was another case where Zeng Hongye framed Wu Yanjun, implicating the former Elder and Steward of the Alchemy Sect. The Alchemy Sect was utterly disgraced, and the one who exposed the conspiracy was He Kao.

Although He Kao requested the few knowledgeable not to leak his role in the affair, keen people, especially experts like Mei Guyu, wouldn't find it hard to discover signs if they chose to investigate.

At the time, He Kao was on a self-drive tour to the northeast border, appearing in that sensitive location during that time frame. No one would believe it if he said he was unrelated to the incident.

From Mei Guyu's perspective, originally in seclusion cultivating in the Immortal Pot Grotto Heaven, being disturbed to find out such a mess occurred in the sect, all pointing to one person, which was He Kao!

So after Mei Guyu emerged, she would surely first tidy up the sect's affairs, then come to see who exactly He Kao was? Even just from the perspective of rectifying sect affairs, traces of more disciples' misconduct might be found from He Kao.

But from He Kao's perspective, he felt genuinely uneasy! Even in playing cards, there's a proper order; who opens with a face-to-face king-bomb?

With the Sect Leader coming in person to work as a colleague, it equates to monitoring him closely.

If Mei Guyu actually became a colleague, with her cultivation, even if she didn't break through to Tier Seven, she would at least be Tier Six Perfection. As long as she wished, whether it was the office building or Sesame Apartment, it would all be within the scope of her divine sense detection.

Many of He Kao's secrets couldn't be hidden, and many minor actions couldn't be carried out. Even if he had the Hidden Moth's intuition, which allowed him to sense whether he was being observed, he wouldn't dare act recklessly.

For example, one minute Mei Guyu would see him in the apartment, the next she didn't observe, and he took the opportunity to activate his invisibility ability and leave, but when she looked again, he would already be gone.

Even if Mei Guyu couldn't see how he disappeared, she could still realize he was the Hidden Moth. So as long as Mei Guyu was around, He Kao didn't dare to act, which is why he applied for a business trip.

Some things Old Qian wasn't clear about, that He Kao was indeed the Hidden Moth, and that the Tan Xian's Walking Stick Painting sought by the Alchemy Sect had fallen into his hands, and it wouldn't be returned.

He Kao urgently contacted Elder Jiang, mainly to confirm two things: First, Mei Guyu's intentions in coming; second, how he should respond?

Surprisingly, Elder Jiang connected immediately, as if he was waiting for him. He Kao didn't beat around the bush and directly asked why Mei Guyu was coming to Qi Yuan?

If she came with ill intentions, he would resign and leave! If he couldn't afford it, he could at least avoid it, right? He Kao spoke with some emotion, his reaction a bit exaggerated, like a child sulking with an elder.

Old Man Jiang comforted him a few sentences, mentioned a few things, and advised He Kao to just keep them in mind.

He Kao felt these Magic Sect experts were all mysterious... Never mind, speaking as the Hidden Moth, He Kao himself was the best at playing tricks.

According to Jiang Daozhen's understanding, Mei Guyu's current state was very special, and she should already have taken the step towards Tier Six Perfection, but hadn't successfully broken through to Tier Seven Cultivation, residing in the "Vacuum Realm."

Referencing his old experience of twenty-three years of setting up a stall, in such a situation, any divine power capable of directly interfering with external objects would be lost, rendering her similar to an ordinary person.

But Mei Guyu, after all, wasn't an ordinary person—just from Old Man Jiang's firsthand experience, she still grasped divine thoughts and divine sense. Though she couldn't perform artifact control, mystical object control, casting, or array formation, she could perceive her surroundings and communicate with others through divine thoughts.

Therefore, Mei Guyu herself wouldn't pose a threat to He Kao, but she could potentially discover some of his secrets.

He Kao was very surprised and further asked how large Mei Guyu's divine sense perception range was, and whether it could cover an entire office building?

Elder Jiang's original words were: "With your company's building, she wouldn't need to fully envelop it with her divine sense. If she specifically intended to search for you, no matter which office you were in, she could probably detect you."

He Kao asked again, "What about Sesame Street? There are five apartment buildings there, if she stayed in another building, could her divine sense extend to my apartment?"
