In the depths of the dense forest, Guo Buhui, the Qinglan Sect's top disciple, and Li Qingqing, the daughter of the Luoxia Sect's Sect Master, lay flushed in the grass.
The two were scantily clad, nestled closely together.
"Brother Buhui, I barely get to see you, and you do this to me in such a strange place. What will I do if someone finds us? You're so bad."
"I missed you. I couldn't help myself, I got a little carried away. But Qingqing, you looked so cute just now."
"You're still talking about it!"
Li Qingqing blushed, unable to help but pinch Guo Buhui.
"You dare pinch me, Qingqing? Hehe, let me show you what's what."
"Are you crazy? Again? Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
"No one will come. Don't worry, Qingmei. Go stand by the tree and turn your back to me. I learned a new move recently, I guarantee you'll enjoy it."
"Ugh, you!"
Just as the two were about to begin their second round, Shen Zhao's voice suddenly sounded, filled with emotion, "Playing the jungle role and still having to maneuver? This is just ridiculous."
"Who's there!"
The two trembled at the sound, hurriedly grabbing their clothes to cover themselves.
Following that, Ding Buer's voice also rang out, "Having a jungle session in broad daylight, right in the middle of our sect. Just one word: disgusting!"
As he spoke, Shen Zhao and Ding Buer walked over to the two, their faces full of disgust.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am?"
Guo Buhui stepped in front of Li Qingqing, fiercely berating the two men.
Shen Zhao and Ding Buer completely ignored Guo Buhui's threat.
Ding Buer took a step forward and said, "You should find a suitable place for this. It won't cost much. Why are you doing it in a sect? How desperate are you?"
Shen Zhao chimed in, "Exactly. A Qinglan Sect's top disciple and the daughter of the Luoxia Sect's Sect Master, openly doing this in broad daylight. Such a scandalous thing happening right before our eyes. The world is truly going downhill."
Ding Buer: "Alright, enough. Let's go tell Sect Master Gu. If this isn't handled properly, we'll lose face for the entire Xianwu Continent."
"Yes, we must report this to Sect Master Gu! We can't let this evil trend spread across the Xianwu Continent."
With that, the two turned to leave.
Guo Buhui and Li Qingqing were immediately anxious upon hearing this. "Since you two know our sect's background, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Shen Zhao turned his head, eyes narrowed. "Retribution? Oh, I'm so scared! But I'm very curious. I wonder how your master, Fairy Jiyue, will deal with you when she finds out her beloved disciple has done something so scandalous.
Will she hang you up and beat you, or imprison you in Yinwind Mountain to have your spirit assaulted by the wind?"
Guo Buhui trembled all over, immediately saying, "Tell us, what do you want to keep your mouths shut?"
Shen Zhao smiled slightly. "It's simple. You two should have Pass Tokens to the Fuxi Abyss, right? Hand them over, and I guarantee I'll keep this a secret."
"What? That's impossible! The Fuxi Abyss opens once every ten years. I have to go inside by order of my master to get an opportunity. How could I give it to you?"
"Then there's nothing more to say. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, everyone in the Guhe Sect will know about your glorious deeds of getting it on in the sect."
"Hmph, who do you think you are? Just because you say it, everyone will believe you?"
Shen Zhao looked at Ding Buer and smiled. Then, he took out a Memory Stone. "Sorry, I recorded your entire 'ganking' process earlier.
I'll play it for the Sect Leader later. It'll be a real treat."
Li Qingqing was terrified and immediately knelt on the ground. "Please, both of you, don't do that! If that Memory Stone is released, Buhui and I will definitely be killed."
Guo Buhui also realized how serious the situation was and quickly adopted a pleading attitude. "Please, both of you, let's talk this through. This isn't a joke. Please, show some mercy."
Ding Buer said, "Why didn't you act like this earlier? Where's the Pass Token? Hand it over!"
"But..."
"But what? Do you think you're still in a position to negotiate?"
Guo Buhui's expression was grave. He was unwilling to hand over the Pass Token because it was an opportunity his master had secured for him, directly impacting his future prospects.
Thinking of this, Guo Buhui's killing intent surged: As long as I finish these two off, no one will know about Li Qingqing and me.
However, his murderous thoughts were immediately crushed by Shen Zhao.
"Don't even think about starting anything here. Everyone who can get into this sect is a talented person, and I can guarantee that before you kill me, this Memory Stone will be playing in a loop above the Guhe Sect hundreds of times."
"Heh heh, then all the disciples of the sects in the world will know about your good deed. Wow, just thinking about it is spectacular."
"How about it? Still planning to kill me?"
Guo Buhui immediately deflated like a punctured ball, his body weak as he slumped to the ground.
Li Qingqing was the first to present the Pass Token: "Both of you, this is the Pass Token for the Fuxi Abyss. Please, show us some leniency and let us go."
Ding Buer took the Pass Token, looking like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and said to Shen Zhao: "Boss Shen, look at this, I've never seen a Pass Token look like this before."
Shen Zhao didn't say a word and slapped Ding Buer: "Stop making a fool of yourself. Pathetic."
Then he looked at Guo Buhui: "What about yours?"
Guo Buhui was still hesitating, while Li Qingqing, arm in arm with him, said, "Buhui-gege, what are you still hesitating for? Do you really want the whole world to know?"
"Sigh..."
Guo Buhui sighed and could only obediently hand over his Pass Token.
Shen Zhao weighed the Pass Token in his hand, a token he was intimately familiar with. He nodded slightly: "Alright, let's end this here. We keep our word. You can leave now, and the farther, the better."

"What about the Memory Stone?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? What if you try to go back on your word now? Don't worry, I'll destroy it in front of you after our trip to the Fuxi Abyss."
After speaking, Shen Zhao didn't wait for Guo Buhui to react, turning and pulling Ding Buer away.

Leaving the dense forest, Ding Buer was still complaining incessantly, "Why did we just let it go? Such a good opportunity, why didn't you try to get some more money?"
\n\n
"How would I do that?"
\n\n
"They're the Qinglan Sect's chief disciple and the Luoxia Sect's young miss, both loaded. Don't you think it's a shame to let such easy marks go?"
\n\n
"Be practical. Don't think about those unrealistic things. Do you think I care about those few measly coins?"
\n\n
"Right, right, right. You, Brother Shen, are a man of the world, you wouldn't care about a few small coins. But every little bit helps, especially when it's such a big mosquito."
\n\n
"It's still just a mosquito, isn't it? Alright, stop chattering and let's get down to business. From now on, my identity is the reclusive elder Liu Chengzhou. Don't mess it up."
\n\n
"And me?"
"You? Let me think... How about 'Master Ding'? After all, your presence on the entire Xianwu Continent is practically nonexistent. Your identity doesn't really matter."
"Is that how you talk to people?"
"Cut the chatter. First, let's find a place to disguise ourselves, and then we'll go meet that Guhe Sect Master, Gu Tianhe."
"Oh, now you want to disguise yourself? What took you so long? Weren't you saying you were going to smash your way in?"
"I changed my mind, alright? Besides, violence can't solve everything."
"Do you even believe what you're saying?"
"Master Ding."
"What?"
"You're a perfectly good person, why did you have to grow a mouth?"
When Shen Zhao and his group arrived at the Guhe Sect's main hall, it was already packed with people.
A glance revealed a gathering of either aristocratic disciples or the sect's most talented individuals. It was like trading street-side barbecue for barbecue in a five-star hotel.
The taste was still the same, but the environment had elevated the whole experience.
Ding Buer, seeing such a grand scene for the first time, couldn't help but feel nervous. He whispered to Shen Zhao, "Hey, Shen-ye, this is a high-stakes game. Can we really get out of this unscathed? Aren't we pushing our luck?"
Shen Zhao had disguised himself with white hair, giving him the appearance of an elderly, immortal-like figure.
Hearing Ding Buer's words, he muttered, "Just do as I say and don't ask unnecessary questions."
Saying this, he strode inside.
But when he glanced at a corner of the hall, he was immediately stunned.
He saw a stunningly beautiful woman in white sitting quietly at a table not far to the left. She was surrounded by young men who wanted to approach and chat, but dared not act rashly.
Even if this woman were turned to ashes, Shen Zhao wouldn't forget her.
Yu Xiyan!
Her appearance in the hall was like a pure white lotus, noble and sacred, instantly stealing away all the surrounding brilliance.
With her arms crossed over her chest, Yu Xiyan, who was resting with her eyes closed, seemed to sense someone was observing her. Her originally lightly closed beautiful eyes opened slightly, just in time to meet Shen Zhao's gaze.
In that instant, Shen Zhao, who had been forced by the system to grovel for nine lifetimes, couldn't help but instinctively want to go up and offer her some comforting words.
It was a muscle-memory reaction, a conditioned response from nine lifetimes of groveling, completely beyond Shen Zhao's control.
Fortunately, Ding Buer, who was at his side, spoke and pulled him back to his senses, "There's an empty table over there. It's perfect, we won't attract any attention."
"Uh, right."
Shen Zhao quickly averted his gaze from Yu Xiyan and followed Ding Buer to the empty table.
Yu Xiyan glanced at Shen Zhao, but didn't seem to notice anything. She just frowned slightly and then closed her eyes again.
At this moment, Sect Master Gu Tianhe, accompanied by various elders of the sect, entered the hall. The previously noisy hall instantly fell silent.
"Everyone, the Fuxi Abyss is about to open. Your opportunities are at hand. This is truly the fortune of our Xianwu Continent."
