"Qingming, I didn't expect you to be so smart!"

In Qingzhi's eyes, a gleam of wisdom sparkled.

He went on to deduce, "The three Sect Leaders all saw Taoist Zhenyuan's notes and wanted to keep them for themselves!"

"Yet, the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader was a step ahead, secretly stole the notes, then changed his identity and prepared to return after his success."

"Meanwhile, the Sect Leaders of Louguan Tao and Jingming Tao were furious, wanting to find the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader to get the notes back."

"But alas, despite all their efforts, they still haven't found any trace of the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader..."

After hearing this deduction, several people around nodded in agreement, feeling it made a lot of sense.

Qingming shook his head, speaking in a deep voice, "I don't think it was the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader who stole the notes."

"Why not?"

Qingyue asked curiously.

Though she was young, the flame of curiosity in her eyes burned stronger than anyone else's.

"Qingming, can you stop undermining me?"

"I even give you my egg every morning!"

Qingzhi retorted, slightly annoyed.

"Aren't you the one who doesn't like eggs?"

Qingming pouted, then smiled confidently, "With current technology, finding someone isn't as difficult as it used to be."

"After the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader disappeared, not only the Religious Affairs Bureau but even the police got involved."

"Yet, even with that, no trace of the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader was found."

"In my view, there's only one possibility why this person can't be tracked down..."

He paused briefly, glanced around, and then said mysteriously, "It's that he's already dead!"

"Only by quietly rotting away in some corner would there be no trace left!"

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present took a sharp intake of breath.

"Are you saying..."

"The Sect Leaders of Louguan Tao and Jingming Tao teamed up to kill the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader?"

Qingzhi asked, frowning.

"Exactly!"

"After killing him, the two Sect Leaders argued over that notebook again."

"Then the Louguan Tao Sect Leader was also killed..."

Qingming said with a knowing smile.

"No, no, no!"

Qingzhi shook his head like a rattle drum.

Determined, he said, "For sure, the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader stole the notes and, to prevent the contents from leaking, killed the Louguan Tao Sect Leader."

"And now, who knows, maybe the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader is still chasing the Jingming Tao Sect Leader!"

"Have you been watching too many movies?"

Qingming said, quite annoyed.

"I think you've been into conspiracy theories too much!"

Qingzhi snorted disdainfully.

Watching the two squabble endlessly, Qingyue shook her head helplessly, muttering quietly, "Childish!"

"It's noon, are you going to the cafeteria to eat?"

Lu Heng glanced at his phone; it was time for the cafeteria to open for lunch.

"Go, go, go, my stomach is about to flatten from hunger!"

Qingyue was the first to get up in response.

"I've been planting vegetables all morning, and my waist is about to break!"

"I need to go to the cafeteria quickly to eat something and replenish my strength."

Qingming also stood up with a hearty laugh.

Not actively eating, means having a problem thinking!

Everyone, pursuing the noble ideal of "Foodies are the superior ones", dashed to the cafeteria at top speed.

Lu Heng, for once, took a day off, not stuck in his room for cultivation, but watched the argument among his fellow disciples with keen interest.

The subject of debate, of course, was the mystery of the three Sect Leaders' disappearances.

With Qingming's spreading the word, almost all the disciples of the Shangqing Tao were aware of the situation.

After lunch, taking advantage of the break time, they stayed in the cafeteria for the discussion.

In the end, Qingming won overwhelmingly, gaining the support of the vast majority of disciples.

"Young man, you should use your brain more in everything!"

"Don't bring things from movies into reality!"

With the momentum of his victory, Qingming patted the shoulder of the losing side, giving earnest advice.

"Buzz off!"

"I'd rather feed my eggs to a dog than give them to you again!"

Qingzhi retorted, angry and embarrassed.

His behavior also drew a round of laughter from everyone.

...

For the following three days, Xuan Cheng hadn't returned from outside.

If Xuanming hadn't called, everyone would have thought their own Sect Leader had also gone missing!

At seven in the evening, after dinner, Lu Heng decided to start a live stream.

Although he didn't agree to sign a contract with Douhu Company, he did give them a promise.

To retain this superstar, Douhu Company spared no effort.

As soon as the stream started, it was pushed across the platform, even cooler than the CEO of Douhu Company visiting in person.

The viewers rushed into the live stream room as soon as they received the notification.

"Hey hey, here we are, brothers!"

"It's been a few days since we've seen the Taoist, I miss him so much I've gained over ten pounds."

"Usually people miss someone and lose weight, how did you gain weight?"

"If pigs in my hometown grew like this, we'd have hit the jackpot!"

"Brothers, I have some relationship issues to consult about. My girlfriend was 'greened' by her cousin, and now she wants to break up with me. What should I do?"

"Huh? Something doesn't seem right here?"

"Jeepers! Those few sentences totally fried my CPU!"

"This person is a pro! Cleared their own involvement completely in just a few words."

"Brother, based on the principle of 'Destroy ten temples rather than ruin one marriage', I think you'd better get yourself fixed to avoid causing trouble!"

"If it were me, I'd just sleep with them both and enjoy the best of both worlds!"

"But I'm afraid not even goji berries can save your kidneys!"

"I suggest the girlfriend and cousin pair up and kick the jerk out!"

"Yuri is infinitely good, but alas, they can't have babies!"

"If they can't have babies, they can come to me. I'd gladly give each a ten-month pregnancy package for free!"

"You're so selfless, I'm moved to tears!"

"Why trouble big brother for such a trivial matter? Just let me go and have a chat with these two girls..."

The clueless viewers kept rambling on and on.

"Good evening, everyone. Tonight, we continue to stream fortune-telling."

"The old rules apply, no need for me, a humble Taoist, to say much."

After Lu Heng finished the opening line, he started a five-minute countdown.

The viewers, upon hearing this, began sending gifts.

Regardless of whether they were valuable or free, everything was gifted.

"Brothers, I'm ready to be selected anytime, feel free to be envious!"

"I'm envious of you, hammer! I bet your wife is definitely cheating on you!"

"No no no, an old man's calculations tell me his son has a different father!"

"Listen to this humble monk, your online girlfriend is actually a big, burly man!"

"That's disgusting, why curse others for no reason? I think maybe his father remarried his first love!"

"First love became stepmom? Why does this plot seem familiar?"

"Feels a bit thrilling, doesn't it?"

"Ahem... we're all decent people, best discuss such plots privately!"

"If you have materials, please send me a copy, I can help critique it!"
