Everyone settled into the VIP room, and Ge'er Kusi stayed for a chat before excusing himself to leave.

Jiang Chen glanced at Ge'er Kusi's departing figure and signaled to Spirit You with his eyes.

Spirit You gave a slight nod and then got up and left the VIP room.

"Mr. Jiang, what are you..." After Spirit You left, Xi'er looked at Jiang Chen with confusion.

Jiang Chen whispered the recent events and his suspicions.

"This..." Xi'er's brow furrowed, her face turning cold: "Bastard! He actually dares to consider defecting to one of the three major organizations?"

"General Instructor Yiwan Nuofu, what does the Chaide Family mean?" Fa'erxi turned his head to look at Yiwan Nuofu.

Yiwan Nuofu hurriedly said: "I haven't informed the Chaide Family about this yet."

"It was me who told him not to notify them yet!"

Jiang Chen took over the conversation: "After all, we don't have any solid evidence right now, and... not everyone in the Ge'er Family must be harboring such thoughts. If we alert the Chaide Family now and they take action, I'm afraid they would spare no one!"

"But how can we tell whether the members of their family are involved or not?" Xi'er frowned and asked.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "I can identify members of the Soul Devouring Group and the Gene Organization. You will all find out this afternoon when the people from the training camp are gathered."

"For the Ge'er Family, I am thinking of waiting until the Ge'er Family heir competition. After all, Ge'er Kusi is in a stage of hesitation now; it serves as a chance for him as well as for the people in the Ge'er Family."

"At the time of the competition, your Holy Court will also have people present, right? Find an opportunity then. You locate the people from the Dark Church, and I'll find those from the Soul Devouring Group and Gene Organization."

"That will be when the members of the Ge'er Family gather, so we won't have to worry about any slipping through the net!"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er's eyes lit up, and she nodded, speaking in a deep voice: "Okay, let's do it that way. The Ge'er Family heir competition will have me and one Venerable attending. With a Venerable overseeing, it will be easier for us to act!"

Jiang Chen shrugged indifferently, not really concerned unless it was a powerhouse in the middle stages of the Venerable Realm or higher. If it was just an Early Stage Venerable Realm expert, that would hardly be significant!

Dingaling!

A ringtone suddenly went off. Yiwan Nuofu pulled out his phone, glanced at it, and softly said: "It's Ge'er Kusi."

"Hmph! Making a call right after he leaves, is he trying to slip away?" Leng Ming snorted.

Yiwan Nuofu was initially stunned, then turned to look at Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, should I answer?"

"Answer it! Let's see what he wants to do. If he really wants to leave... he better have a good reason!" Jiang Chen's expression darkened as he hinted at a cold smirk.

Xi'er and Fa'erxi narrowed their eyes slightly. They had just arrived, and if Ge'er Kusi wanted to leave now, that would be quite disrespectful to them!

"Hello, Family Head Ge'er." Yiwan Nuofu answered the phone: "...Alright, we'll be right there."

Hanging up the phone, Yiwan Nuofu softly said: "He's asking to see just the three of us."

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a sly smile: "This old fox, he knows leaving now would look bad and is looking for other ways out? If he suggests that you pick some trusted people to not gather anymore, just tell him directly about yesterday's incident. Let him know that not even the Deputy General Instructor is trustworthy anymore, and it's impossible to choose trustworthy people!"

"Alright, we'll go then!" Yiwan Nuofu nodded and turned to Xi'er and the others: "Chief Judge Xi'er, Captain Fa'erxi, sorry for the oversight!"

"It's fine."

"Go ahead!"

Xi'er and the others spoke softly.

"Chief Judge Xi'er, how did your strength increase so quickly?"

After Yiwan Nuofu and the others left, Jiang Chen looked at Xi'er and the others with a puzzled face. He really felt the lack of strength now and wanted to see if there were other ways to improve.

"This matter, I must start from where we last parted."

Xi'er wore a solemn expression and spoke in a deep voice, "After we returned to the Holy Court last time, we immediately handed over the list you gave us to His Holiness the Pope, and the Judgment Chief, who based on the list, detected nearly a hundred people."

"Moreover, among these hundred people were surprisingly many at the Venerable Realm. Enraged, His Holiness the Pope and the Judgment Chief directly mobilized the Adjudication Office and killed all those nearly hundred people!"

"In that battle, our Holy Court suffered heavy losses. Furthermore, sensing that the strength of the three major organizations might be stronger than we anticipated, His Holiness the Pope opened the secret grounds of our Holy Court, allowed us to drink the Holy Water, and significantly enhanced our strength, we who are loyal to the Holy Court."

Leng Ming was stunned for a moment, and with astonishment said, "Holy Water? Does that really exist?"

Fa'erxi's face turned stern, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction as he looked at Leng Ming, "Of course it exists!"

"Leng Ming, watch your words."

Jiang Chen chided Leng Ming softly and then raised his head to look apologetically at Xi'er and the others, "Chief Judge Xi'er, Captain Fa'erxi, I apologize. This kid doesn't really know how to speak."

"It's okay, it is apparent that this young brother is inexperienced," Xi'er said, gesturing lightly with his hand, as Fa'erxi's expression also softened.

Leng Ming blinked, looking somewhat bewildered at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, pondered, and then softly said, "The importance and symbolic meaning of the Holy Water to the Holy Court is like... um... it's almost the same as your family's Dragon Robe and Imperial Sword back in the day; they are beyond doubt and shall not be violated!"

"Oh, oh, I apologize!" Realizing his mistake, Leng Ming gave an apologetic fist salute to Xi'er and the others.

"Dragon Robe?" Xi'er blinked slightly in surprise, glanced at Leng Ming, and then turned to look at Jiang Chen, "He is from the…"

"The Huangluo Clan," Jiang Chen explained softly.

Xi'er and the others looked at Leng Ming in surprise, and Fa'erxi, with a gleam in his eyes, quietly asked, "How is that Senior Li from your family doing now?"

This time, it was Leng Ming's turn to be surprised. He gave Fa'erxi a deep look and then turned to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, puzzled, "Captain Fa'erxi knows the senior Li Jiang?"

"Of course," Fa'erxi nodded, "In the past, when the Judgment Chief came from the east, he didn't just fight those few battles as rumored; he had also crossed hands with the Huangluo Clan's Senior Li."

"Oh? Who won?" Leng Ming asked with an interested look at Fa'erxi.

Fa'erxi hesitated for a moment, then chuckled lightly and shook his head, without responding.

"Hey, what's the need for secrecy? I can ask Old Ancestor Li when I go back too!" Leng Ming said inexplicably.

Xi'er and the others' expressions shifted slightly, Fa'erxi stared intently at Leng Ming, and quietly asked, "Is that Senior Li still around?"

"Of course, Old Ancestor Li…" Leng Ming blurted out, then his face suddenly changed as he frowned and rebuked in a low voice, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Pfft!

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha…"

Yan Hu and the others burst into laughter.

Leng Ming glanced at Yan Hu and the others, had a thought, and fixed his gaze on Jiang Chen, "It's fine if they know, right?"

"It's fine," Jiang Chen said with a smile; "However, you need to be more careful from now on. Just a couple of offhand remarks can spill all your secrets!"

All secrets?

But no, there's still our family's Great Ancestor...

Leng Ming was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, and with a look of annoyance, glared at Fa'erxi.

Mr. Jiang did not want them to know about the Great Ancestor!
