NOVEL NEXT Chapter 923: The Mortal World Has Its Laws, the Mystic Sect Has Its Rules
Lin Fanpeng still acted with confidence.
However, he became much more cautious; at least he couldn't take action for now, otherwise their presence might be discovered, rendering all their efforts futile.
He also shared what he knew about the Gu Family with Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu sat on the sofa, deep in thought. He was now certain that the young man was connected to the Mysterious Dragon Box.
This meant the three rays of light from the Mysterious Dragon Box should be akin to three tokens or perhaps three Spirit Talismans.
One of these Spirit Talismans entered Gu Qiaoqiao's forehead; the other two were surely obtained by Xiao Wen and this young man.
Could it be interpreted that this young man and Xiao Wen are loyal followers left by the Gu Family Ancestor for the Gu Family?
If so, they must possess certain skills.
He had a general understanding of Xiao Wen's abilities, which were below his, yet not by much.
This young man was exceptionally strong, but nothing else was clear. After all, the Gu Family was heavily guarded now, and without his personal investigation, nothing could be known.
He dared not act rashly these past few days because of the elder who came that day.
That elder was the Sect Leader of the Ziyang Sect, the head of the South Five Sects, surnamed Nie...
In the Mystic Sect, everyone called him Sect Leader Nie.
Sect Leader Nie was over a hundred years old.
His body was still strong, but he had secluded himself for many years, just like Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu thought Sect Leader Nie came to reminisce and curry favor with him, given that the Yankong Sect was once a top-tier existence.
Its secret was one many coveted.
But unexpectedly, Sect Leader Nie wasn't interested in those; he came to warn him.
He told Dongfang Yu that the human world has its own rules, and the Mystic Sect has its own regulations.
Over the years, both have chosen a point of balance, living in harmony for many years.
But now Dongfang Yu's high-profile involvement with the world caused a stir among the other four sects.
Additionally, it drew attention from the human realm, which was not good.
Hence, for the safety of the entire Mystic Sect, Sect Leader Nie was sent to negotiate with Dongfang Yu, hoping he would refrain from too much involvement in worldly affairs.
Once he obtained what he wanted, he should leave promptly, otherwise, it could bring about catastrophic disaster for the entire Mystic Sect.
On this point, Sect Leader Nie was apprehensive.
Because he once suffered great losses from such actions.
Dongfang Yu did not expect that these old men in the Mystic Sect were still around, contrary to what he imagined—either reincarnated or content with ordinary life...
They still engaged in their old pursuits.
But now, they were gradually integrating with society.
It is said they are living well.
Especially now, compared to previous years, they cherish their current lives and do not wish for Dongfang Yu to disrupt this balance, bringing disaster to the people of the Mystic Sect.
They hope he would stop while ahead and not meddle excessively in earthly matters, most importantly, his hands should not be stained with human lives.
So Dongfang Yu thought it over again and again, and did not go to the Gu Garden.
He did not care about anything belonging to the Gu Family, but he had to consider the warning from the Mystic Sect.
It wasn't that he feared these old men.
He simply did not want the tranquility of the Mystic Sect to be disrupted by him.
Such an outcome would offer no benefit to his practice.
Therefore, although Dongfang Yu knew that the Gu Family might be different from before, or had the ability to oppose him, he truly could not go to investigate.
