Old Man Jiang spoke unhurriedly, "It's not far away, at most a few hundred meters, just separated by a few walls. As long as you pay attention, what can't be detected? But your question is somewhat impolite. Are you treating them like a peeping tom?"

He Kao: "That's not what I meant, I just wanted to ask how to deal with this kind of situation?"

Jiang Daozhen: "Just don't try to be clever, a Tier Six Alchemist is not easily fooled. Even if she is straightforward, she can see through many things at a glance.

But then again, she's not afraid of you being a threat, so why are you afraid of her? Just act as usual, don't stir up trouble…"

Jiang Daozhen reminded He Kao that he could view the matter from a different perspective.

Under He Kao's series of arrangements, Huang Xiaopang had now successfully cleared his name. Xiaopang openly took Lin Qingshuang as his master and became a Tier One Diagnoser of the Observing Body Sect, so no one would suspect him to be the Hidden Moth anymore.

Qian Guran might be puzzled, but he would say nothing and wouldn't dare to say anything.

As for He Kao? Thanks to Huang Xiaopang's cooperation and the investigation by many sorcerers a year ago, He Kao was also cleared of suspicion of being Hidden Moth. Now no one thought he was Hidden Moth, but everyone agreed that he was related to Hidden Moth.

He Kao was the son of Hidden Moth from over twenty years ago. He might not know the current Hidden Moth, but the current Hidden Moth certainly knows him and is secretly protecting him.

The Ancestral Hall publicly released information about Hidden Moth, introducing the historical ties between Hidden Moth and the Magic Sect, especially emphasizing "Hidden Moth Object must not be seized", which calmed some matters.

Nonetheless, factions like the Huiming Shi Family were still secretly conspiring, which attracted the Ancestral Hall's powerful response. The Ancestral Hall's stance was clear, and keen observers could even see that some Elders were using the Hidden Moth affair to reorganize the Magic Sect.

The Huiming Shi Family was wiped out, and finally, no one dared to target He Kao, or rather, no one dared to use illegal means to target He Kao, because the Ancestral Hall was watching!

To those well-informed, He Kao's current identity should be a Secret Disciple of Elder Jiang or Elder Gu. Having a certain Elder take him as a Secret Disciple could also be seen as a gesture of goodwill towards Hidden Moth.

The Ancestral Hall issued a public invitation hoping Hidden Moth would return to the Magic Sect. Since Hidden Moth was protecting He Kao, the Ancestral Hall also stated their position, they were actively protecting He Kao, and both sides' stances were aligned.

From this perspective, even if Mei Guyu came to Qi Yuan to work beside He Kao, He Kao needn't worry about anything… If He Kao fled upon hearing the news, then there would indeed be a problem.

However, Jiang's words didn't reassure He Kao, and he retorted, "But I do have issues, you know better than anyone, I am the Hidden Moth!"

Jiang Daozhen said somewhat helplessly, "Meihua Immortal has no ill intentions towards you, just a bit curious. Such a person's words, subjectively won't lie; if they say they're going to be an ordinary employee, then that's exactly what they intend to do."

He Kao: "Excessive indulgence?"

Jiang Daozhen: "Don't speak so harshly; a master doesn't only focus on immediate matters. Even by being an ordinary employee, they can achieve many things and fulfill many purposes."

He Kao: "I want to ask what her purpose is."

Jiang Daozhen: "Have you considered the possibility that if Elder Mei goes there, people hearing of it might flock to seek opportunities?"

He Kao: "I just discussed this possibility with Old Qian; he thinks I'm overthinking."

Jiang Daozhen: "In Qi Yuan, only you and Qian Guran know about this matter. The informed within the Magic Sect do not exceed twenty, more accurately, including you, there are fourteen.

Besides you and Qian Guran, the rest are top-ranking figures in the Magic Sect, and half are high-level in the Alchemy Sect.

The Ancestral Hall assigned Qian Guran a task personally given by Elder Zong. Since last week, all applicants to join your company, whether being hired or transferred, had their details examined by Qian Guran and submitted to the Ancestral Hall.

Since you came to me, I'll give you an additional task. If you spot Magic Sect disciples or other suspicious figures near the company, try to verify their identities, and report the list and information to me.

Qian Guran is assisting in finding gaps. If there truly are suspicious characters, regardless of their intent to ingratiate or some other motive, Elder Mei can discern on their own."

He Kao: "What do you mean, does the Ancestral Hall truly want to fish? Using a former Elder without divine power as bait seems excessive!"

Jiang Daozhen: "What fishing? It's her own decision, and the Ancestral Hall is merely following her lead. Sect Leader Mei also wants to see if an utterly simple order will be strictly executed…"

At this moment, the term "Sect Leader Mei" emphasized Mei Guyu's identity as the Alchemy Sect's leader.

Sect Leader Mei had little presence, having been secluded in intense cultivation for years, even choosing to stay in retreat lately. The voting rights within the Ancestral Hall were entrusted to the Second Elder, while internal matters of the Alchemy Sect were managed by some stewards and high-ranking officials.

She might lack personal prestige, but nevertheless as the sect leader, she issued a command as such, instructing those aware not to leak the news of her going to Qi Yuan as a "worker".

It was a perfectly legitimate and necessary command; some might dismiss it as trivial, though others might think secrecy suffices, casually divulging the secret.
