#1040 - Chapter 1040 The Forgotten Lamplighter

Li Guanqi summoned all the most important figures to his study.

With a grave expression, Li Guanqi turned to look at Yu Hua, his voice deep as he spoke.

“Yu Hua, now that the two Pavilions have completely broken ties, the intelligence department you oversee will play a crucial role!”

“I need you to fully infiltrate the mid-to-lower levels of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s intelligence section, penetrating their various organizations to intercept their information!”

Yu Hua’s expression turned serious; she hadn’t expected to bear such a heavy responsibility from the start.

It was clear from this that Li Guanqi trusted her greatly.

Yu Hua bowed and said in a deep voice, “Alright! I’ll arrange it right away.”

As her voice fell, Yu Hua’s gaze gradually became serious, and after a moment of thought, she spoke softly.

“But Pavilion Master, since we can think of these things, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion will definitely do the same!”

“With the conflict between the two sides having reached this point, both will display their powerful intelligence capabilities.”

“Moreover… infiltrating each other’s organizations as spies, they will also do this, and there may even be defections and bribery!”

Li Guanqi’s lips curled up slightly, and he looked at Yu Hua with admiration.

He hadn’t expected that she could take over the intelligence department in such a short time and offer so many suggestions regarding the current situation.

Li Guanqi nodded and said softly, “That’s right, not only will we do this, but they will definitely do the same!”

“And… Gu Yong definitely understands that even if they find you, bribery won’t work.”

“So, from this moment on, there will be some additions to the Cloud Gazing Jade Pendant, even if you are bought off, it doesn’t matter.”

Yu Hua’s beautiful eyes constricted slightly, understanding what Li Guanqi meant.

“Monitoring!”

In other words, from now on, almost everyone is under surveillance when using the Cloud Gazing Jade Pendant.

Li Guanqi said softly, “Only you know about this.”

“Yu Hua can go and arrange this matter. Also… pay attention to the aspects from which the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion might attack us, just in case.”

“I will explain the specifics to you privately.”

Yu Hua bowed and then left the room, suddenly feeling a heavy burden on her shoulders as she stepped out.

At the same time, a hint of hidden sorrow appeared in her eyes.

The Xiao Xiang Palace was also the result of her life’s work, but now it was all destroyed by Lu Tian.

This great hatred had been keeping her up at night.

Perhaps only by staying by Li Guanqi’s side would she have a chance for revenge!

A common enemy is a friend!

Having lost the entire Xiao Xiang Palace, how could she not be sad?

Only she herself knew the pain she endured watching the elders and disciples of her sect being demonized.

But Yu Hua always felt that when Li Guanqi looked at her, his eyes would inadvertently reveal a hint of understanding.

This was also why Yu Hua was willing to depend on Li Guanqi.

Because Li Guanqi would not really treat her as a tool or an appendage.

If it were the Great Xia Sword Sect, she, Yu Hua, might just be a powerful honorary elder.

But in the Cloud Gazing Pavilion, Li Guanqi gave her enough respect.

After Yu Hua left, Qian Qiu Sui couldn’t help but exclaim, “As expected of a former Sect Master, she managed to get those guys in the intelligence department in line in just three days.”

“Yu Hua is a capable person.”

Even Xi Yunhuai nodded in agreement upon hearing this, but then the old man saw Li Guanqi’s eyes narrowing, his gaze somewhat inexplicably vacant.

Li Guanqi turned to look at Xi Yunhuai and murmured softly, “What is Su You currently in charge of?”

Qian Qiu Sui and Xi Yunhuai exchanged glances, a glint of light flashing in their eyes.

Then the old man said in a deep voice, “Su You’s ability is very strong, and his position in the Cloud Gazing Pavilion is somewhat special.”

“Every department needs Su You’s interference and leadership.”

“But he is still wandering outside, doing something similar to a lamplighter.”

Li Guanqi’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he murmured softly.

“I’ve returned so many times, but he happens to be out of the Pavilion every time.”

“Something’s not quite right…”

“Help me pay more attention to Su You’s movements; I think this kid is a bit off.”

Xi Yunhuai knew a lot and frowned, saying, “Su You shouldn’t, right? After all…”

Li Guanqi sneered, “That’s right, his life seems to be in my hands, but don’t forget…”

“The thing that controls Su You’s lifeline… was given to me by Gu Yong!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Xi Yunhuai’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he closed his mouth, as if he had guessed something.

Li Guanqi waved his hand and said softly, “It’s okay, I’ll arrange some things for Su You later, and then you can help me keep an eye on him.”

After the words fell, the two nodded.

Then Li Guanqi turned to look at Qian Qiu Sui.

“From now on, the Cloud Shadow Guards will assist you in analyzing the most profitable aspects of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s business empire and monopolizing resources!”

“While disrupting the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s transactions, we must also guard against their reactions to the advantages and disadvantages of our products. Prevent problems with things like pills as early as possible!”

After speaking, Li Guanqi took out a pill from his storage ring with a backhand.

Qian Qiu Sui’s eyes lit up, and he looked at the pill in Li Guanqi’s hand, which was radiant and covered with pill patterns, and asked somewhat uncertainly.

“This… this is the Profound Origin Saint Soul Pill?”

Li Guanqi smiled softly, “That’s right, it’s the Profound Origin Saint Soul Pill!”

“Only this thing can make everyone go crazy and raise the reputation of the Cloud Gazing Pavilion to the extreme!”

“So I need you to hold an unprecedentedly grand auction within the Great Xia Sword Sect’s sphere of influence!”

Qian Qiu Sui took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “That’s right!”

“Because we haven’t been speaking out recently, many people have turned to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.”

“Although we have been trying our best to promote the joining of three eighth-grade grand alchemists to the Cloud Gazing Pavilion, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion seems to also have eighth-grade alchemists.”

“Perhaps only something like this can completely crush their reputation!”

Li Guanqi said in a deep voice, “Then go and arrange it, and try to make this matter even grander.”

“The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion will definitely not sit still, so we must be more vigilant at that time.”

Qian Qiu Sui also felt a sense of inexplicable pressure. The commercial battle was bloodless.

But the danger was no less than that of a cultivator’s fight.

Qian Qiu Sui bowed and left, hurrying to handle this matter.

Only Xi Yunhuai was left in the entire study.

The old man stood with his hands in his sleeves, quietly waiting for further instructions.

Li Guanqi turned to look at the old man and said very sincerely.

“Elder Xi, prevent assassinations by enemies from the Red Pagoda branch of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!”
