The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

"Muyang, did you know that the Refinement Demon Sect has infiltrated spies into Tianjiao City?"

In the private room of the restaurant, Shen Yan's soft inquiry caused Li Muyang's chopsticks, which were picking up food, to pause slightly.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

—Had Yu Chan been discovered by the Blood Lotus Sect?!

That was Li Muyang's first reaction upon hearing these words.

Shen Yan had specifically chosen this moment to come in; had she already captured Yu Chan outside?

Li Muyang's mind raced, but his expression remained calm.

"The Demon Sect has spies infiltrating Tianjiao City?" Li Muyang frowned and asked, "When did this happen?"

Based solely on his reaction, Li Muyang was utterly flawless, without any lapse.

However, the woman in front of him was not there to confront him.

Facing Li Muyang's question, Shen Yan, looking weary, shook her head: "This morning, the Jade Wave Hall discovered a suspicious cultivator at the south gate. After capturing and interrogating him, it was found that he was a spy from the Refinement Demon Sect."

"At present, we still do not know the purpose of this spy, nor his accomplices."

"But the Sect Hierarch has already ordered a thorough investigation throughout the city."

Shen Yan briefly recounted the morning's events at the south gate.

Upon hearing this, Li Muyang's demeanor remained calm, showing no trace of emotional fluctuation.

As long as it wasn't his dear sister who had been captured, he did not care about other Demon Sect disciples being exposed and caught.

Li Muyang was actually more concerned about another matter.

"A city-wide thorough investigation, huh? Will the Sect Hierarch's previously scheduled trips still continue?"

According to the upcoming plans of the Blood Lotus Sect, once the situation in Tianjiao City had stabilized, Sect Hierarch Fang Yingtian would personally travel and tour all the towns within a fifteen-hundred-mile radius of Tianjiao City to spread the teachings of the Blood Lotus Sect to more mortals, demonstrating the miraculous resurrection from death of the Blood Lotus Sect followers.

Resurrection from death, a miracle irrefutable to mortals.

As long as one believed in the Blood Lotus Sect, they would gain undying bodies, which could attract even more mortals to join the sect.

But now that a spy from the Refinement Demon Sect had appeared in the city, and the Demon Sect might be conducting some plot in secret, would Fang Yingtian still leave?

Yet Shen Yan nodded and said, "The Hierarch's preaching will continue as planned, only the city will conduct a strict investigation for spies."

"And during the Hierarch's absence, I will oversee the sect affairs in Tianjiao City…"

Shen Yan said this much, then hesitated.

Li Muyang had already seen that she had something to say; otherwise, for such a trivial matter as catching a spy, there was no need to alarm her to personally inform him.

Li Muyang said, "Miss, you can speak straightforwardly, you needn't have reservations."

Seeing Li Muyang say this, Shen Yan smiled.

The young girl stretched out her hand to smooth the fallen strands of hair at her temple, then said, "Actually, I've recently heard some rumors because you've recently become the flag-bearer of the Enforcement Hall, there has been some idle gossip disparaging you."

"Normally, this wouldn't be something strange; the Enforcement Hall, after all, is in the business of offending people."

"But the past management of the Blood Lotus Sect was too chaotic, and the various sub-branches and incense halls were accustomed to acting on their own, still not quite used to someone overseeing them, and Muyang, you are particularly intolerant of evil…"

Shen Yan spoke earnestly for quite a while.

The implicit meaning in her words was that Li Muyang had been perhaps too scrupulous recently in his work, too harsh on the offending Blood Lotus Sect followers.

Now, the reputation surrounding Li Muyang was akin to that of a notorious and wicked official.

Even among the people of Tianjiao City, many were aware that the Enforcement Hall had a flag-bearer with an infamous reputation.

This kind of notoriety was not conducive to Li Muyang's survival within the Blood Lotus Sect.

If there was too much resentment and hostility from the followers and believers, it might even be difficult for the Sect Hierarch...

Shen Yan spoke very tactfully, but she had already warned Li Muyang to the utmost extent.

Li Muyang could see the potential dangers hidden behind Fang Yingtian's arrangement of making him the flagbearer of the Enforcement Hall.

Not to mention Shen Yan, who was exceptionally intelligent.

However, because of her relationship with Fang Yingtian, it was difficult for her to be too blunt.

After bidding farewell to Shen Yan, Li Muyang, alone in the private room, sighed and shook his head.

"This Miss Shen..."

was genuinely caring towards him.

Despite her own busy schedule, she still found time to give pointers to Li Muyang.

Unfortunately, Li Muyang's strict and antagonistic stance in the Enforcement Hall was deliberate.

He didn't plan to develop long-term in the Refinement Demon Sect, and thus used his power without worrying about the consequences.

He wasn't an overly compassionate saint, but he did feel disgusted by the evil deeds of the sect's followers.

Since he didn't worry about the consequences, he acted as he pleased - why should he tolerate such wicked people?

Li Muyang truly despised villains like Dai Shan and wished he could personally imprison and handle him!

Shen Yan's sincere advice was respectfully heard by Li Muyang but quickly forgotten.

He closed his eyes, planning to rest for a while in this private room at the restaurant, play some games, and then go to sleep.

But not long after Li Muyang started his game, urgent footsteps sounded from outside the private room.

Followed by the anxious voice of one of his subordinates.

"Trouble! Flagbearer! Something has happened!"

"Shi Maocai from Liehai Hall has taken people to Sin Lane! He says he wants to avenge his sworn brother Dai Shan!"

The anxious voice from outside made Li Muyang frown slightly.

He quit the game and stood up.

"Shi Maocai?" Li Muyang did not recognize this person.

After opening the door, standing outside the private room was his subordinate from the Enforcement Hall, Bu Hongsheng, 19 years old, a fourth-rank lotus follower.

This young man, known for his integrity and hatred of evil, had been promoted twice by Li Muyang due to his efficiency.

Now, Bu Hongsheng's face was filled with worry. Seeing that Li Muyang did not recognize Shi Maocai, he quickly explained.

"Shi Maocai is a sixth-rank lotus follower of Liehai Hall, who recently made great contributions in a major battle at the Demon Sect, and is highly regarded by the sect hierarch."

"He is Dai Shan's sworn brother. Upon hearing that Dai Shan was captured by us and punished in prison, he gathered several dozen followers from Liehai Hall and headed to Sin Lane, claiming he would avenge his brother!"

"Flagbearer! This is not good at all!" exclaimed Bu Hongsheng anxiously.

"Although Shi Maocai is only a sixth-rank lotus follower, his elder brother is Shi Maosen, the flagbearer of Liehai Hall!"

"Liu Fu has already taken our brothers from the Yellow Banner to Sin Lane, but that Shi Maocai is arrogant and overbearing; I fear only your presence can suppress him."

Bu Hongsheng quickly briefed him on the situation in an urgent tone: "This Shi Maocai is lawless! He once injured someone in the street, and when the brothers from the Heaven Banner of the Enforcement Hall confronted him, he brutally beat them, and he wasn't punished afterwards."

"This time he's suddenly gone mad, and I'm afraid today's issue cannot be easily resolved."

After speaking, Bu Hongsheng looked at Li Muyang: "Flagbearer, should we ask for help from Master Ruan? In case the flagbearer of Liehai Hall, Shi Maosen..."

Bu Hongsheng's expression was fraught with worry.

But Li Muyang shook his head.

"Are we really going to disturb Master Ruan over such a trivial matter?"

Li Muyang said, "Quickly take me to Sin Lane; today I must see for myself just how unrestrained this Shi Maocai can be!"
