"It was that time with the demon, when you threw the garbage bag," Li Mingbai said, seeing Ye Fan look confused. "Senior Brother Ye, have you forgotten?"
"So it was that time..." Ye Fan finally realized.
After all, his memory was still quite extraordinary.
The reason he hadn't remembered earlier was that the matter was too trivial to him.
Damn it!
I told you to throw out the trash, and you secretly started cultivating!
Li Mingbai, Li Mingbai, you're not as honest as you seem!
Ye Fan didn't mind Li Mingbai cultivating the techniques from the system.
As long as he himself didn't cultivate, it didn't matter.
It seemed like a good thing to improve the strength of the disciples in the sect.
After all, in a way, they were his family.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan had a new idea.
Since he was going to improve, he might as well go all the way!
Although Ye Fan wouldn't compromise with the system, it didn't mean he had no other options.
Even though he had no cultivation now, he had practiced before!
With the secret manuals in his mind, he could definitely help the sect members reach the Divine Realm!
However, he didn't plan to create anything too advanced for now.
Firstly, they wouldn't be able to practice those advanced techniques yet, and secondly, it would easily attract danger.
After all, possession of a treasure brings disaster.
Well...
Not too high-level.
Just something basic for them to play with until the Nascent Soul stage would be enough.
But for now, he had to deal with Junior Brother Li's problem.
"Junior Brother Li, did the technique not explain the reason?" Ye Fan asked back.
He hadn't even looked at the technique, how could he possibly know what to do?
He had seen cases where cultivation techniques caused increased body odor, but they were all due to different reasons.
Making things up could be fatal...
Li Mingbai's expression became serious!
Senior Brother Ye is testing me!
"Senior Brother Ye, I'm absolutely sure it didn't mention it!"
"Then there's no need to worry too much about it," Ye Fan comforted him. "This situation you're experiencing is temporary. It might be your body expelling impurities, and it will pass."
"So that's what it is..." Li Mingbai patted his chest in relief. "Then I can rest easy."
In fact, he had been living a miserable life during this period.
Not only the female disciples in the sect, but even the male disciples were avoiding him...
It had made him very sad...
"Junior Brother Li, pay attention, I said it's possible," Ye Fan suddenly felt mischievous and scared him. "It's also possible that it'll be like this forever."
"What?" Li Mingbai panicked again. "Then what should I do? Won't I be unable to get married my whole life? Senior Brother Ye, you have to help me..."
"There is a way, actually," Ye Fan grinned. "How about, Junior Brother Ye, you try not to be so rigid about gender? After all, our sect has quite a few handsome junior brothers."
Li Mingbai immediately took a big step back, looking at Ye Fan in horror.
Senior Brother Ye, are you a devil?
...
In the afternoon, True Person Ziyun personally returned with the little demoness and the three senior sisters.
Seeing their demeanor, Ye Fan's heart immediately panicked...
So Ye Fan took the initiative, asking first.
"Master, I have something to ask you."
"No need to ask, I agree." True Person Ziyun asked with a smile, "I've already discussed it with them. Your three senior sisters are willing."
Ye Fan: ???
Master, did you misunderstand something?
That's not what I meant!
"It's like this," Ye Fan quickly reined in True Person Ziyun's runaway thoughts. "I wanted to ask about the mad old man..."
Then Ye Fan asked about the mad old man and the mysterious person he mentioned.
Of course, he only told them what he could.
"Mad old man? Mysterious expert?" True Person Ziyun was bewildered. "There doesn't seem to be any relevant record."
"Master, could you ask the other elders for me later?" Ye Fan suggested. "It doesn't have to be very specific, even a hint would be fine."
"I don't know, and they probably don't either," True Person Ziyun shook her head. "You've already checked the library of the sect and the palace. I suppose there's no need to go there again."
Ye Fan felt a pang of frustration.
Although the Great Liang Kingdom was small compared to the entire cultivation world, searching for it bit by bit would be a daunting task...
"Oh, right!" True Person Ziyun seemed to remember something and took out a book from her ring.
The book was well-preserved, but it was evident that it was quite old.
"What is this?" Ye Fan asked curiously and reached out to take it.
"Slap!"
"This is the sect leader's exclusive reading material." True Person Ziyun slapped his hand away and then revealed a sly smile. "It's not impossible for you to read it, as long as you take my place as the sect leader."
Ye Fan decisively chose to remain silent...
If he became the sect leader, he wouldn't be able to live such a comfortable life of leisure, so he definitely couldn't do it!
"What you're talking about might be a major event from a long time ago..." True Person Ziyun muttered while flipping through the book. "Let me see if any previous sect leaders have recorded it..."
True Person Ziyun read quite quickly, finishing the book in less than a minute.
"No," True Person Ziyun shook her head and handed the book to Zi Bing beside her.
Ye Fan felt a wave of disappointment.
Was there really no clue at all?
Then he saw True Person Ziyun take out another book from her ring...
"There are too many people here, let's go back to the room first." True Person Ziyun said and then led everyone towards Ziyun Palace.
After all, it was common for there to be traitors in a sect, and one had to be vigilant.
Although the chance of a spy appearing in the Ziyun Sect was extremely slim, it was still better to be cautious.
Back in the room, True Person Ziyun continued to read the books.
During this time, the second senior sister, out of curiosity, tried to sneak a peek at the book in the eldest senior sister's hand.
However, her head was tapped by True Person Ziyun...
Book after book...
Half an hour later.
Several piles of books had already accumulated in the room!
"Found it!" True Person Ziyun suddenly exclaimed. "It says here that our founding Ziyun Sect seemed to be suppressing something very powerful, right where our previous base was located."
Ye Fan's ears perked up!
"And then?"
"It only recorded a sentence or two..." True Person Ziyun continued to flip through. "It seems to end there..."
"No wonder..." True Person Ziyun put the pile of books back into her ring and said with realization, "A few days ago, some disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage passed by our old base and said they heard suspicious noises inside. It might be related to this record!"
