Hearing Mo Xie call out to him, Zeng Zhou no longer hesitated and said to Mo Xie, "About the Eastern City Association..."
Mo Xie showed an expression of understanding and nodded at Zeng Zhou, saying, "Don't worry. I've already checked with the old man about the information on the Eastern City Association. However... I found something suspicious. The Eastern City Association might not be as simple as it seems. Once I finish dealing with Ning Qi's competition, I'll focus on the Eastern City Association."
Upon hearing Mo Xie's words, a grateful look appeared on Zeng Zhou's ugly face, which was covered in black bumps. "Thank you! Thank you so much! You are truly a good person!"
After saying that, he wore a joyful expression and prepared to leave, but muttered softly, "Those villains from the Azure Emperor Sect have actually developed a pill to eliminate resentment? Sigh! I wonder how they are doing."
Although Zeng Zhou spoke quietly, Mo Xie could still hear him. He recalled that Zeng Zhou had previously told him that besides himself being captured for experimenting with the pills, the Azure Emperor Sect had also captured many others.
If he could rescue those people, it would indeed be a good deed. Mo Xie secretly noted this in his mind, contemplating how to find those who had been captured by the Azure Emperor Sect for experimentation.
"What brings you here? Are you looking for news about your senior brother?"
"Why do you talk like that? And why are you here?"
"Hey, I'm just saying..."
"You, what about you!"
Just as Mo Xie was deep in thought, he heard a commotion outside the tent. Before Mo Xie could say anything, Bai Yunfei clicked his tongue and quickly stood up from his chair, saying to Mo Xie, "Boss, I have something to take care of, so I'll head out first!"
After saying that, he dashed away. Xiao Chi merely tilted his head in confusion at Bai Yunfei before continuing to focus on his food.
Mo Xie frowned slightly, displaying an expression of helplessness as he shouted outside, "What are you two arguing about at the door? If you have something to say, come in!"
"Hmph!" "Hmph!" Two cold snorts sounded almost simultaneously as each of the two delicate hands lifted one side of the curtain. Upon seeing the other lift the opposite side, they glared at each other with furrowed brows.
Ling Mo Xie had no choice but to stand up and walk in front of them. He pulled the curtain aside and saw that Sun Xiaoxiao was holding a plate of exotic fruit pastries, while he could not discern why Shangguan Ying'er was here.
"Please come in!" Ling Mo Xie gestured politely to them. The two stepped in at the same time, nearly colliding with each other.
Ling Mo Xie shook his head and walked a few steps to sit down in front of a chair. He took the items from Sun Xiaoxiao's hands and placed them on the table. He smiled at Shangguan Ying'er and asked, "What brings you here?"
Shangguan Ying'er glanced at Sun Xiaoxiao before turning to Ling Mo Xie and said, "About what you mentioned last time, I went back to investigate."
Ling Mo Xie frowned slightly. Last time?
"Is it about Ning Qi and the fact that they captured many poor people for live experiments?"
"Yes!" Shangguan Ying'er nodded seriously. "I discovered..."
She suddenly paused, looking at Sun Xiaoxiao and said, "This is an important matter. I think it's not appropriate for some unrelated people to be listening here, right?"
"Who are you talking about? You're the one who's unrelated! Hmph! Coming here pretending to be concerned, you might have been involved back then! I see your Azure Emperor Sect; Ning Qi and Cang Qian are not good people, and you might not be either..."
Hearing Sun Xiaoxiao's blunt words, Ling Mo Xie frowned and interrupted her, saying, "Alright, you two, what's the issue between you?"
Afterward, he turned to Shangguan Ying'er and asked, "Ying'er, what did you find out? You're from the Azure Emperor Sect; it should be easier for you to investigate these matters than for us."
Shangguan Ying'er glanced at Sun Xiaoxiao and, not insisting on anything, smiled gently like a refined lady. With a hint of guilt, she said, "You are right! They have indeed captured many poor people for experiments, and both Elder Feng and I were so dull that we didn't notice it. It's simply disgraceful for the reputation of the Azure Emperor's sect."
As she spoke, Shangguan Ying'er's tone grew somewhat angry, while Sun Xiaoxiao merely stood beside Ling Mo Xie, smirking mockingly at her.
Seeing Sun Xiaoxiao's mocking smile, Shangguan Ying'er felt a surge of anger rising in her chest. Her tightly fitted elegant attire accentuated her beautiful figure, instantly catching Ling Mo Xie's attention. However, feeling a sharp gaze directed at her from nearby, she quickly composed herself and asked seriously, "Hmm, regarding you, Cang Qin and Ning Qi shouldn't have many defenses against you. Have you discovered where they are keeping the people?"
Shangguan Ying'er shot a glance at Sun Xiaoxiao, suppressing her anger. Although somewhat reluctant, she replied calmly, "Yes, I found the place where they are imprisoning those poor people for experiments."
"Where is it?" Upon hearing that Shangguan Ying'er had discovered where Cang Qin and his group were holding the poor people, Ling Mo Xie immediately inquired.
He had just been troubled by this matter, and now Shangguan Ying'er had come to provide a clue.
"The poor people are being held beneath the large tent where Cang Qin and Ning Qi reside. They have secretly constructed a basement without anyone noticing. This could not have been accomplished by just the two of them."
As Shangguan Ying'er spoke, a look of confusion crossed her face. "Moreover, the tent where Elder Feng and I are staying is not far from theirs, yet we didn't hear a single sound. This indicates that they must have built that basement in a very short time. Also, how did they manage to transport the captured poor people down there without anyone noticing? That is another point of confusion for me."
Hearing Shangguan Ying'er's words, Ling Mo Xie habitually rubbed his fingers together in thought. After a moment, he wore an enlightened smile and said to Shangguan Ying'er, "Have you considered that although the basement is beneath their tent, it might not have only one entrance? It's very possible they constructed it from another location. That way, they could avoid your detection and quietly transport the poor people from afar."
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's analysis, Shangguan Ying'er nodded in realization. "I see now; after all, neither Elder Feng nor I would be bored enough to constantly use our spiritual senses to check underground, so we didn't discover it."
"Alright, as long as we confirm where those poor people are being held. By the way, has Ning Qi's group developed a pill to eliminate resentment? Are those poor people still alive?" Ling Mo Xie clapped his hands and looked at Shangguan Ying'er as he asked.
