She is the president of Qingxuan University and the helmsman of the Taixu Sect’s Liangguo Subrudder; just from her titles alone, she is at least two levels above Jian Youqiu.

Being polite to Jian Youqiu would be like undermining the reputation of the Taixu Sect.

“Does Senior Jian hope for us to arrive later so we can watch the Lotus University students get flogged by the government office together?”

“It’s unusual to see the Taixu Sect so enthusiastic on regular days.”

“To see a pearl covered in dust and yet feel reluctant to brush it away is a common human emotion.”

“From what Senior Shang is saying, is the Taixu Sect planning to make an exception to recruit male disciples?”

“I, Shang Yufeng, cannot decide for the Taixu Sect, but in Qingxuan University, my word is law. Is Senior Jian planning to give us a grand gift for Qingxuan University?”

Jiang Cheng watched the Treasure and Talismans Academy’s Academy Chief and the Qingxuan University’s President exchange verbal jabs and thought to himself how the Immortal Sects only appeared harmonious on the surface; in private, it was a constant battle of overt and covert schemes, and no holds were barred.

“Jiang Cheng, let’s go,” Guo Xiuyuan signaled to Jiang Cheng with a glance.

Jiang Cheng immediately excused himself politely, bidding farewell to Li Qingge and the others.

On the way back to school, Jian Youqiu didn’t mention the Willpower Empowerment Talisman or the interrogation by the government office at all.

Instead, he spoke with earnest gravity, “Jiang Cheng, a woman’s heart is unfathomable like the depths of the ocean. The waters of the Taixu Sect are deeper than those of the other four sects combined.”

“Dean, I understand,” Jiang Cheng replied.

Jian Youqiu thought to himself that you don’t understand a thing. At your age, you’re exactly at the time when women can easily manipulate you.

It would already be good if you don’t turn into a pathetic fawner, and you claim to understand?

Even I, after encountering countless people, came to a profound realization only afterwards.

“Have you ever heard of the Lieyang Sect?” Jian Youqiu asked with his hands clasped behind his back.

Jiang Cheng nodded, “I have.”

“You haven’t heard, have you? I usually don’t discuss such secrets of the sects… Eh? You have?” Jian Youqiu was startled.

As a planner, Jiang Cheng had, of course, heard of the Lieyang Sect.

Although the Five Great Immortal Sects are the topmost sects, they are not the only ones. Below them, there are many “first-rate” sects, with the Lieyang Sect being one of them.

“I generally do not discuss matters of the Lieyang Sect with others, but today is your lucky day. In the past, the Sect Master of the Lieyang Sect was the junior brother of the Sect Leader of the Tongtian Sect. Initially, the two were very close, but they turned against each other over a holy maiden of the Taixu Sect. In the end, incensed for the sake of his beloved, the Sect Master of the Lieyang Sect led away many core members of the Tongtian Sect to establish the Lieyang Sect. The Tongtian Sect suffered greatly from this and took a long time to recover.”

“What knowledge did you gain from the story of your senior?” Jian Youqiu asked.

Jiang Cheng answered immediately, “Before recruiting disciples, make sure to have them sign non-compete agreements to prevent them from joining other sects and using the resources of their own sect to establish new ones. Otherwise, you could face legitimate claims from the Tongtian Sect.”

“What are you talking about? It’s about not believing the sweet nothings women say! That Taixu Sect’s Holy Maiden tricked the Lieyang Sect Master into leaving and then broke up with him! The Taixu Sect never gave the resources they promised to the Lieyang Sect! Now the Lieyang Sect only recruits male disciples and no female disciples because of what happened back then!”

“Now I understand,” Jiang Cheng said.

Jian Youqiu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that although Jiang Cheng’s interests were peculiar, his understanding was still acceptable.

“Good, as long as you understand,” Jian Youqiu said.

Jiang Cheng nodded, speaking with assurance, “Yes, this is mainly because the Sect Master of the Lieyang Sect lacked legal awareness and did not sign a wager agreement with the Taixu Sect’s Holy Maiden. Before establishing his own sect, he should have first secured a marital alliance with the Holy Maiden, ensuring a union of shared interests for mutual defense and offense. Then, he needed to sign a wager agreement with the Taixu Sect Leader, stipulating the amount of resources the Lieyang Sect would take and the assistance the Taixu Sect was to provide.”

Gao Miao asked, “What if the Taixu Sect decided to go back on their word?”

“Naturally, according to the agreement, they would demand reparation from the Taixu Sect,” Jiang Cheng replied.

“And if the Taixu Sect refused to pay up?” Gao Miao inquired.

Jiang Cheng said quite naturally, “If the Taixu Sect resorted to slander and reneged on their promise, they would lose the people’s hearts first and moral high ground second. As cultivators, all of us despise wickedness. If the Sect Master of the Lieyang Sect called to arms, wouldn’t the other sects rally to his cause, and with one call, the whole world would unite in support?”

Gao Miao clapped his hands in excitement, “What a brilliant scheme in the open light! With this, facing the overwhelming trend of the world, the Taixu Sect would have no choice but to yield!”

Guo Xiuyuan also nodded, saying, “That’s indeed the case. Compared to Jiang Cheng, the Sect Master of the Lieyang Sect is still too naive.”

Jiang Cheng humbly replied, “No no, the Sect Master is just more romantic, and tends to trust others too much. With just a little guidance, I believe the Sect Master would definitely come to understand quickly. And the meaning of the law is to protect us ordinary cultivators who believe in truth, goodness, and beauty.”

Gao Miao empathized as if he too had been wronged by a woman before: “Well said.”

“It seems necessary to consider suggesting to the school the addition of essential legal knowledge courses,” Guo Xiuyuan expressed his agreement.

Jian Youqiu looked at the three of them, his face full of astonishment: Wait, my point was to keep Jiang Cheng away from Shang Yufeng and her group. What are you all even talking about?

After Jiang Cheng returned home, everyone thought that the storm surrounding Prince Liang Chu had already passed.

Even Jiang Cheng himself, who was always cautious, believed this to be the case.

Because the Willpower Empowerment Talisman is of a safe standard and its principle is feigning death, it inherently has no offensive nature and could not have led to the death of Prince Liang Chu.

Even if tested by the Taixu Sect’s Talisman Association, the result would not change.

However, on the third day after Jiang Cheng was summoned, another explosive piece of news once again swept through the Capital.

A son from a fifth-grade official’s family had died.

The cause of death was exactly like that of Prince Liang Chu!

Exhausted by endless toil, he had died of sheer fatigue.

This time it was not at the Jiaofang Division, but at another privately-operated brothel.

With two identical cases, it was evident that the death of Prince Liang Chu was no mere coincidence, and the court was in an uproar in an instant.

Setting aside the test results from the Taixu Sect’s Talisman Association for the moment, the court urgently halted the sale of all Willpower Empowerment Talismans on the market to stabilize the situation.

And they urged all customers who had purchased Willpower Empowerment Talismans, especially the Reusable Type, not to use them during sexual activities.

This time, however, it seemed Pang Yuan and the others had learned their lesson and did not summon Jiang Cheng.

They just found some talisman experts to analyze and authenticate the Willpower Empowerment Talismans, attempting to find a common link apart from exhaustion that led to the deaths of Prince Liang Chu and the official’s son.

On Saturday, Jiang Cheng stayed at home, reading the “Capital Daily.”

The newspaper had the latest developments in the case, updated daily.

Jiang Cheng peeked out from behind the newspaper, looking at Liu Qing on the balcony, who was manually packaging the Willpower Empowerment Talismans.

“Liu Qing, you don’t need to work anymore. The talismans have been banned again.”

Liu Qing didn’t listen to Jiang Cheng’s words and stubbornly wanted to finish packaging the remaining Willpower Empowerment Talismans.

She had finally obtained a chance to work, and not long after, the talismans were banned again, resulting in the loss of her job.

Unhappy.

Jiang Cheng, looking at the newspaper, felt a hint of unease in his heart.

If the death of Prince Liang Chu could still be called a coincidence, then the death of the official’s son couldn’t really be considered a coincidence anymore.

Before, Jiang Cheng was quite certain that the death of Prince Liang Chu had nothing to do with the Willpower Empowerment Talisman.

But now, Jiang Cheng wasn’t so sure.

Even if it wasn’t the Willpower Empowerment Talisman that directly caused it, it was definitely related to the talisman, much like the relationship between fireworks and gunpowder.

Someone must have discovered a special use for the Willpower Empowerment Talisman.

Under certain special circumstances, the Willpower Empowerment Talisman could potentially endanger the life of the user.

If my guess is not wrong, the next one, is happening soon.

Just as Jiang Cheng had surmised, two days later, the third person to use a Willpower Empowerment Talisman and die appeared!
