I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Guan Yi opened her eyes and looked up at the figure entering the room.

Upon seeing who it was, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face:

"Senior Brother Ma En!"

Ma En smiled gently at her:

"How have you been recently?"

Guan Yi's expression fell for a moment, but she quickly perked up:

"I've been focusing on cultivation during this time. After what happened, I definitely couldn't be happy. Although I couldn't always see my senior brothers and sisters before, at least I knew they were here.

"But the loneliness has actually made me more able to endure the solitude on the path of cultivation, and I don't have anything else to do besides cultivate. Since I survived, I can't just stop moving forward."

The deaths of her three senior brothers and sisters were a very serious matter, but Guan Yi had surprisingly made it through, and hadn't even been too drained by it. Her performance in the face of such difficulties was far better than expected.

Although the three senior brothers and sisters had given all their insights on cultivation to Ma En, the influence of some of their memories and personalities remained in her body, and these made her far stronger than before.

She was no longer the same person she used to be, as if she had truly grown up in a single day.

And this allowed her to look at things more calmly now. She knew very well that being able to survive in this situation was already something to celebrate. Escaping from the clutches of逍遥 was almost impossible.

Although this was a very bad thing, being constantly sad and in pain wouldn't make things better. She understood that the best thing she could do was to ignore the negative impact it brought.

This was the experience that Du Jin had accumulated, and now it was hers too.

Ma En nodded slightly:

"Cultivation is the only thing we can do. By the way, about what I told you last time..."

Guan Yi replied:

"You're talking about the False Life Pill, right? I searched and found that there should be enough herbs to start the furnace, but my skills can't compare to Master's, and the pills I refine won't be as good, and may even have some impurities."

Ma En said softly:

"It's okay, as long as there are some."

The False Life Pill was another kind of pill that could extend lifespan, but it wasn't as good as the Longevity Pill, because the Longevity Pill was gentler in nature and had almost no "drug toxins."

But the False Life Pill could extend lifespan again on top of the Longevity Pill. The lifespan it gave the user was "false", so it was calculated separately from the lifespan limit of other longevity pills.

This was one of the bargaining chips he would use in the future.

However, the Shu family didn't know that the three Longevity Pills were originally given to him by 逍遥 for negotiation. He only said that to maximize the value of the three pills, but he couldn't rely on 逍遥 alone in the future.

And who knew, he might have to break ties with 逍遥 in the future.

At that time, Guan Yi's alchemy skills would be truly useful.

Guan Yi nodded slightly:

"Okay, I'll start preparing to refine the pills now."

Although Ma En and she hadn't known each other for long, he was already the person Guan Yi cared about the most. Besides the fact that everyone else she cared about had died, it was also because of Ma En's performance when facing 逍遥.

Ma En had given her this life.

Ma En continued:

"By the way, I have something I want to talk to Master about..."

Before Guan Yi could answer, steady footsteps came from outside the door. Before he had taken a few steps, 逍遥 impatiently pushed open the door and said with a smile as he looked at his most beloved disciple:

"I suddenly had a whim and sensed that my disciple was looking for me.

"What's the matter?"

Ma En turned to look at the cultivator:

"I do have a lot of things I want to say."

Seeing this scene, Guan Yi consciously stood up and quietly left her cultivation room.

Daoist 逍遥 looked at his disciple with a smile:

"I have a feeling that you're bringing me good news."

Ma En nodded:

"That's right, the matter with the Federation has basically been settled. I had some minor conflicts with the Shu family during this time, but the final result was surprisingly good. At most, in a few more days, they will be able to take care of the Federation."

Daoist 逍遥 smiled:

"I knew I didn't misjudge you. This kind of thing should be easy for you, and you are also half a native of the Federation, so they trust you more."

If you really want to say it, 逍遥 was a purer Federation citizen than him.

But he didn't come back here to report good news.

Ma En's expression became serious:

"But this time, my interaction with the Shu family had some minor conflicts. In fact, there shouldn't have been any conflicts normally. This situation is actually very different. There's a guy I don't know who's plotting against me behind the scenes.

"And this guy is very powerful. I suspect he's quite extraordinary."

This was Ma En's idea. Since he might not be able to solve this problem, he would go to 逍遥, who had a vested interest in this matter, and let this so-called "master" support him during this time.

Hearing Ma En's words, 逍遥 was also a little puzzled, because what he sensed in his whim was good news.

At least it was good news for him.

逍遥 narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Someone wants to plot against my disciple? Who's so blind?

"Don't worry, let me calculate a hex for you."

As he said that, he raised his hand and pinched his fingers, then revealed a pensive look.

"The attacker is very dangerous. This matter is very ominous for you." 逍遥's expression became more and more serious, "But fortunately, the attacker is now seriously injured, and his cultivation is only 10% of what it used to be, so it's not a real danger to you.

"But if I'm not mistaken, it seems that you've provoked a Rank V ability user who's in bad shape."

Ma En said innocently:

"But I haven't provoked any Rank V ability users at all. If I had, I wouldn't be alive now. This is the most surprising thing to me. Who would want to plot against me?"

逍遥 put his hand back into his sleeve:

"Unfortunately, I'm not good at arithmetic, so I can't find out who's behind this, but I have a basic impression of him, Ma En...

"I don't care where you got into trouble. Now you're my disciple, so I naturally won't let you die at the hands of outsiders. If you find out who he is, you must tell me immediately."

Ma En nodded:

"Of course, I don't want to die yet."

Seeing that Ma En understood this, 逍遥 also nodded:

"You go and completely settle that matter. I will perform a ritual for you to dispel the ominous signs on your body. You will definitely not have any accidents during this time."

As he said that, he took out a red string with copper coins strung on it and handed it to his disciple:

"This is a life-protecting treasure that a Nascent Soul cultivator refined for his family. I was originally going to give it to you after you cultivated to the Golden Core realm, but now you're worthy of it.

"As long as you carry it with you, it's as if I'm by your side."

This didn't sound good to Ma En, but he still took it, and with his knowledge of the cultivation world, he could clearly recognize that the owner of this magic weapon wasn't himself, but 逍遥 in front of him.

This was also a monitor.

That's right, Ma En's arrival was good news for 逍遥.

逍遥 immediately understood what this meant - if Ma En hadn't encountered this danger and had developed freely as normal, then things would have progressed in a direction that was not to his liking.

But that possibility no longer existed.
