"Lin Fanpeng is the Great Protector of the Yankong Sect. The Elder Sect Leader trusted him greatly. After the Elder Sect Leaderâs death, the Young Sect Master took over, but later went missing. Lin Fanpeng then took over many of the Yankong Sectâs senior disciples..."
Gu Qiaoqiao was taken aback. Lin Fanpeng turned out to be the Great Protector of the Yankong Sect?
In that case, it made sense for him to collude with Dongfang Yu.
"What is the Sect Leaderâs surname?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked.
"Itâs a compound surname, Dongfang. I donât know the given name..." Tian Sanxian murmured.
Gu Qiaoqiao curled her lips slightly, chuckling...
It really was just as suspected.
"But does this have anything to do with the secret you want to talk about?" Qin Yize asked.
Tian Sanxian glanced at Qin Yize and began to speak, "I also heard about the Qin Familyâs affairs recently. I donât know much else, but those contradictory witness testimonies definitely came from the Mystic Sect. Thinking back, I suspect the Young Sect Master has returned, and with such a strong backing from Lin Fanpeng, heâs abandoned Ning Wanru and the Tian Family..."
"With talented people under Lin Fanpengâs command, and added support from the Young Sect Master, the Gu Family is much more dangerous than before."
"Lin Fanpengâs ambition was always huge, wanting to seize the world. Itâs said that the Gu Family possesses the Imperial Jade Spirit, and whoever obtains that Imperial Jade Spirit can rule the world..."
Gu Qingfeng, Gu Qiaoqiao, and Qin Yize exchanged a glance.
Gu Qingfengâs eyes were full of confusion. He didnât even know that the Gu Family had the Imperial Jade Spirit.
However, none of them spoke, and instead, they all looked towards Tian Sanxian.
Tian Sanxianâs heart leaped with joy; it seemed this was something that concerned them.
She continued, "Perhaps itâs fate, or perhaps some divine blessings protect the Gu Family. Whenever Lin Fanpeng was about to succeed, the situation would turn chaotic. So later, Lin Fanpeng stopped thinking about conquering the world, but he still hasnât given up on the Imperial Jade Spirit. He wants to have all the worldâs wealth in his hands, to gain the ability of immortality. Itâs said that the Imperial Jade Spirit is a catalyst that can help him achieve this. My sister always had dealings with him, setting up the Spirit Absorbing Array to enhance his fortune."
"Things went smoothly initially, but starting last year, he became very unlucky. He even asked me to help change his luck, but that wasnât something I could do."
"But with the Young Sect Master now, things are different. What I want to say today is about the Young Sect Masterâs two weaknesses."
Tian Sanxian paused and looked at the three people in the room.
Gu Qingfeng remained calm and said in a steady voice, "Go on."
"The Young Sect Master has two weaknesses. One is a fear of cold. This kind of fear isnât something that can be solved simply by warming up, so he needs a large number of gemstones and spirit talismans to maintain his body."
Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize exchanged a knowing look, and Qin Yizeâs lips curled into a slight smile.
It seemed that locking him in the cold storage last time was the right move.
Only the opportunities for that were too few.
And relying on the military districtâs research facility is not something that can be used repeatedly.
It seems another suitable location must be found to trap Dongfang Yu there.
"This fear of cold is a weakness brought about by his cultivation, but it will disappear after the start of spring..." Tian Sanxian added another sentence.
After the start of spring?
What a pity; the start of spring has already passed. It seems his fear of cold should be gone.
"And the second?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked.
