Test

Anping explained, "How should I put it? Big forces like the Tang Sect and Shrek naturally think more to protect their status. They didn't kill anyone directly, but they just conducted some tests. That's all."

Gu Yuena took a sip of the tea that Anping handed her and said, "Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. When are we going to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well you mentioned? I can inform Ditian and the others in advance. They must have a strong guard around this treasure land to prevent the outside world from knowing about it, and the two of us alone can't do anything."

Anping shook his head slightly and said, "Now is not the time. Something like this has just happened. They will definitely increase the security around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If we get into a conflict and can't take out all their guards quickly, we might trigger a joint counterattack from Shrek and the Tang Sect, and our advantage will be gone."

He had been with Gu Yuena for a long time, and he couldn't help but see things from her perspective. Gu Yuena felt happy when she heard Anping's words, glad that she had chosen the right person.

But thinking of the current situation of the Soul Beast clan, Gu Yuena still sighed and said, "You're right, the remaining Soul Beast forces are far behind the two major powers of the Tang Sect and Shrek, and they can't afford a bigger blow."

Anping's guesses were mostly correct. After all, he and Gu Yuena were Leng Yaozhu's disciples. They came to Heaven Dou City on the soul train and didn't hide their identities at all.

They caught the attention of the Tang Sect as soon as they entered the Heaven Dou City train station. Except for when Anping used magic to conceal them while they were investigating Lin Qing's disappearance, they appeared in various places without any disguise.

That's why the Tang Sect paid special attention to Lin Qing. Lin Qing and his companions came into the Tang Sect's sight as soon as they began exploring the Sunset Forest, and then they searched their apartment.

They found out that the target of their investigation was the adventure that Poseidon Tang San had in the Sunset Forest. The Tang Sect's senior officials immediately thought of Lin Qing's meeting with Anping and Gu Yuena, and wondered if Lin Qing was helping the Spirit Pagoda look for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well under their instructions. They immediately reinforced the guard force near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and then launched subsequent tests.

The Tang Sect people didn't expect that Anping would figure out their plan, or that he and Gu Yuena knew about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The origin of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had aroused Gu Yuena's interest.

Gu Yuena wanted to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Anping was also curious about the dragon souls and various plant-type soul beasts inside, so they both planned to go.

If the Tang Sect knew that their series of coincidences and temptations had led to this outcome, the senior officials would probably regret not killing them directly.

After analyzing the situation, they decided to postpone their visit to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After all, if they became enemies with the two major powers of the Tang Sect and Shrek, even if they got the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they would face trouble in the future. They could only hide on Anping's small island. If they weren't strong enough, they would never be able to leave.

"Then what are you going to do about Uncle Lin's situation? Do you want me to ask the Myriad Demon King to protect him?" Gu Yuena asked, bringing the topic back to Lin Qing as she sipped her tea.

Anping thought for a moment and said, "I don't think that's necessary. It would be more dangerous if the Tang Sect people found out. It would only confirm their suspicions."

Gu Yuena asked doubtfully, "But the Tang Sect did such a thing, shouldn't we do something about it?"

Anping sighed and said, "Of course I want to do something, but if we act now, we'll attract the Tang Sect's attention. All we can do is act like normal tourists and keep an eye on Uncle Lin's safety. The problem is, as long as the Tang Sect doesn't do anything too extreme, he'll be fine for now."

Anping had a soft spot for Lin Qing, who had been one of the kindest people to him since he came to this world. He wouldn't forgive the Tang Sect for what they did.

But with his current strength, even the soul beasts under Gu Yuena's command weren't enough to challenge the Tang Sect, let alone Shrek Academy, which was allied with them.

Even if he really wanted to do something, he couldn't choose this sensitive time. If he and Gu Yuena did anything to the Tang Sect in Heaven Dou City, the Tang Sect would immediately think of them as the culprits seeking revenge for Lin Qing.

Gu Yuena was also very smart. After Anping reminded her, she understood the gist of the matter and said, "In that case, let's go for a walk."

She took Anping out. As they shopped, Anping paid close attention to the people around them and noticed that someone was following them. They were at least six-ring soul emperors.

In fact, they had been followed for a while, but since they had been acting like tourists for the past few days, they hadn't paid much attention to their surroundings.

The Tang Sect people didn't know that Anping and Gu Yuena had never thought about being followed in the past few days. They would probably feel that their efforts were wasted.

Gu Yuena was very attuned to Anping's emotions. She sensed his mood change as soon as he noticed that they were being followed, and she also spotted their tail.

This made Gu Yuena lose interest in shopping. She didn't like being watched all the time.

Just then, Anping's phone rang. He checked the caller ID and saw that it was Lin Qing.

He answered the phone and asked, "Uncle Lin, what's up?"

"Anping, the company has decided to transfer me back to Glorybound City because of the delays in work progress over the past few days." Lin Qing sounded a bit depressed. It was obvious that this transfer was a demotion.

Anping felt a surge of happiness when he heard Lin Qing's words. He had thought about using his connection with the Spirit Pagoda to move Lin Qing away from Heaven Dou City, but he hadn't had the chance to do it because of the Tang Sect's attention. This incident was most likely the result of the Tang Sect's operation.

But Lin Qing thought that he was transferred back to Glorybound City because he had offended someone important due to the previous incident.

"You're going back to Glorybound City?" Anping couldn't help but sound a bit excited, but then he realized that he was being rude, and quickly changed the topic. "Uncle Lin, I remember that you sold your house in Glorybound City a long time ago, right? How about this, you can stay in my house in Glorybound City for now. I'm not using it anyway. I don't know when I'll go back next time. Where are you now? Nana and I will come over and give you the key, and we can have a meal together. I don't know when we'll see each other again."

Lin Qing didn't refuse any more when he heard Anping's offer. He thought that he was in a hurry to find a new place to live, and Anping was being generous. But since he still saw Anping as a child, he felt awkward to take advantage of him.

He said, "Okay, but I'll pay you rent. I'll move out when I find a new house." He agreed to meet them at a restaurant near the train station.
