Fang Xiaoguang listened quietly to their conversation. It was already late at night, and the oil lamp on the table made a crackling sound. Xie Qinglan reached out and pinched it, and the wick was shortened.

Ai Xi said: "If you have any better way, you can also tell me."

Xie Qinglan raised the corner of her mouth and smiled bitterly, "What can I do?"

"I don't think we are so passive now." Fang Xiaoguang said: "Since this matter is a conspiracy, there must be a black hand behind it that controls everything. Maybe he will think of things that the black hand failed to accomplish outside the customs before. If it is to be made in Vast Villa, as long as there is a shadow of his control in the middle, traces will definitely be found."

"I understand." Ai Qian looked at Fang Xiaoguang and said, "You mean to say that so many people from all walks of life gathered at Vast Villa so quickly, and decided to attack Vast Villa so quickly, there must be someone secretly pushing it, or at least someone fanning the flames."

"That's right." Fang Xiaoguang smiled, "As long as he did it, there will be traces. We might as well follow the traces and find out the mastermind behind it."

"Okay!" Xie Qinglan slapped the table and said, "That's it. When I find him, I will let him taste the skills I have practiced hard for twenty years."

Ai Qian and others found Bai Xiaodao at dawn. When they mentioned this, Bai Xiaodao slapped his thigh and said, "Don't worry, I'll go find out the news right away."

"Wait a minute." Fang Xiaoguang stopped him and said, "You can't."

Bai Xiaodao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Why can't I do it?"

"You're too famous." Fang Xiaoguang glanced around and said, "In order to avoid alerting others, it's best not to do this myself."

After much thought, the four decided to go find Yang Yan, because Yang Yan had many subordinates brought from other places.

On a sunny day, Yang Yan was sitting in the room worrying. The peach trees outside were full of crumbling flowers and leaves, just as gloomy as her mood. She was still thinking about her marriage to Xie Qinglan. Sure enough, everything in this world could not go as she wished, even if her father was the third best in the world.

She couldn't help but think about how Xie Qinglan would react when she heard about this marriage when she came back from nowhere.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She closed her eyes and clasped her hands together and said, "Buddha, Sanqing Taoist Master, don't let Xie Qinglan come back so early. It's not too late to wait ten or eight years to come back..."

She made a bunch of wishes in a row, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xie Qinglan appearing in front of her, looking at her expressionlessly.

"Oh my God!" Yang Yan fell back in fright and pointed at Xie Qinglan in horror, "When did you come?"

Xie Qinglan: "When you begged Buddha to let me disappear for ten or eight years."

"..." Yang Yan got up from the ground and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I was joking."

Bai Xiaodao said from behind: "Then Buddha and Taoist Sanqing are joking?"

Yang Yan turned his head suddenly and looked at Ai Qian and the three of them in horror, "Are you here too?"

Xie Qinglan said with a complicated expression: "Xiannie, what did I do wrong that you want to curse me like this?"

Hearing this familiar title, Yang Yan's whole body trembled, and he thought it was because you always call people Xian's niece. As smart as she was, she knew that this topic could not be continued, so she changed the subject and said, "What's the matter with you guys looking for me?"

As soon as Aiqi mentioned the matter, Yang Yan immediately patted her chest and said that the matter was taken care of by her, and she would notify everyone immediately as soon as there was any news.

After the matter was settled, it was no longer suitable for them to stay in Vast Villa, Ai Xi said: "Then let's go, this matter cannot be rushed."

Xie Qinglan said: "You guys go, I want to see my dad."

"Don't!" Yang Yan blurted out.

Everyone looked at her strangely, and Xie Qinglan said, "What happened to my father?"

"No." Yang Yan smiled dryly: "It's not that if you don't succeed this time, you have to take advantage of the situation in the future. At this time, you exposed the fact that you have come back."

"It's okay." Xie Qinglan said, "I'll go see my dad quietly."

"That won't work either..." Yang Yan was so anxious that she almost cried, "What if Master Xie accidentally leaks the stuffing?"

Xie Qinglan looked at her and saw that she seemed very anxious, so she said, "Then I... won't go?"

"That's right." Yang Yan pushed him out, "You go ahead and wait for my good news."

After a few people left the Vast Villa, Xie Qinglan said with a tangled look on his face: "I always feel like there's something wrong."

"Don't worry." Bai Xiaodao said, "I saw your father this morning. He looked rosy and energetic."

"Then why does she feel like she doesn't want me to see mine?"

"Girls always have a little secret." Ai Xi said: "Don't think about it, let's go eat, I'm starving."

As soon as he heard that Ai Xi was hungry, Fang Xiaoguang immediately said: "Go and eat. I'm hungry too."

To say that Yang Yan was very efficient in doing things, there was news that night. She quietly came to Ai Xi's courtyard, came out in a sneaky disguise, and said as soon as she entered the door: "There is news."

All four people stared at her. Yang Yan took out a few portraits and said, "My people have been pretending to hang out among the martial arts people all day long, and sure enough they found some who deliberately incited and provoked trouble. These are the portraits of those people. Also, they quietly followed them to a temple outside the city and couldn’t follow them any further.”

Several people sat around and looked at the portraits. Bai Xiaodao said excitedly: "Obviously that temple is their den of thieves. Why don't we go to the temple while the moon is dark and the wind is high to see what is going on?"

This is an idea, they are all highly skilled martial artists. The courage is not ordinary. Just do what you say and let Yang Yan, who is the weakest in martial arts, stay here to wait for news. The four of them took advantage of the night to go to the temple outside the city.

The temple is built on the mountainside. It is a relatively famous temple in the local area. It is very popular and the temple is tall and gorgeous.

The four of them slipped in quietly against the wall. Bai Xiaodao whispered: "How to find it?"

"There are so many people in the main hall during the day that it is not suitable for Tibetans to do business." Ai Qian pointed to the back mountain and said: "Go to the Zen room warehouse behind to have a look."

The four of them swished toward the back hill without making any sound.

Soon they searched the entire temple, but found nothing.

Xie Qinglan said: "Could we have guessed wrong? In fact, they are hiding in the main hall outside?"

"No." Fang Xiaoguang said: "When we passed by the main hall before, I took a special look. The main hall was very empty and there was no way to hide people."

"Where could they be?" Bai Xiaodao looked towards the lush mountains, "Are they in the mountains?"

Ai Xi didn't quite believe that they were hiding in the mountains. After all, there was nothing in the mountains, and it was not easy to even rest or eat. It didn't seem like a place where someone full of scheming would hide. She asked: "Are there any secret passages or secret rooms here?"

"There are many." Bai Xiaodao suddenly realized, "There must be."

Fang Xiaoguang said helplessly: "The problem is that we don't know where the entrance is."

"It's not realistic to search for one room after another. After all, there are monks living in the Zen monasteries." Xie Qinglan said with a worried look on his face: "Are we going to come home in vain tonight?"

The four people gathered together and were unable to do anything. Fang Xiaoguang frowned and thought. Suddenly he saw the bright candlelight in the Main Hall. An idea came to his mind, and he said: "If you are the mastermind behind this and hiding in this temple, and by chance the temple catches fire in the middle of the night, what will you do?"

Bai Xiaodao said: "What else can we do? At least come out and see the situation."

"Huh?" He suddenly found that the other three people were staring at him fiercely.

Bai Xiaodao swallowed and said, "Look what I'm doing? Be careful I draw the knife."

"You are so smart." Essie reached out and pinched Bai Xiaodao's cheek, "I love you so much."

Bai Xiaodao: "Ah?"

Xie Qinglan also touched Bai Xiaodao's head, "It's so cute."

Fang Xiaoguang looked at Bai Xiaodao and seemed to be interested in making a move. Finally, he thought that he was no match for Bai Xiaodao, so he gave up regretfully.

Ai Xi said to Fang Xiaoguang: "You set the fire, and the three of us will find a good position to observe."

In the dead of night, all the monks who live in the temple on the mountainside can hear are the sounds of insects and frogs chirping in the breeze as they pass by.

A young novice drank too much water at night and got up in the middle of the night to drink some water. As soon as he opened the door, an orange shadow was immediately reflected on his fair and tender face. He rubbed his eyes, looked in the direction of the main hall in horror, and then shouted: "It's not good! It's gone!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Soon there was a sound of gongs and drums in the temple, and all the monks were disturbed and went to fetch water to put out the fire.

Essie was hiding in a big tree when she suddenly saw a monk walking out of a Zen room. He also hurriedly rushed towards the fire, as if he was no different from other monks. But Ai Xi knew that when she passed by the meditation room before, there was no one inside.

She tiptoed lightly and floated to Xie Qinglan's side and said, "I found it, everyone follow me."

The four people quickly rushed into the Zen room. Bai Xiaodao looked around and said, "It looks like a very ordinary Zen room."

Fang Xiaoguang fumbled around and said, "I see that the agencies in the storybook are all located in the most inconspicuous places. Let's look around."

The four people searched around in the Zen room. Bai Xiaodao even knocked on the floor, but found nothing. Xie Qinglan said: "We can't delay it any longer, they will be back soon."

"It's just the right time to come back." Bai Xiaodao said with a cruel smile: "Put the knife on his neck, and I won't believe that he won't tell the truth."

If there is really no other way, then you have no choice but to do this.

Fang Xiaoguang sighed: "I am obviously a hero who has justice in mind and helps the strong and the weak. Ever since I got together with you, I feel like I have changed."

The corners of the mouths of the three people twitched at the same time. Essie squatted on the ground strangely and said, "Look what is that under the bed?"

The three heroes squatted down and said speechlessly: "Isn't it just a chamber pot? Don't you think it's very unique?"

"No." Aisie said, "I saw other monks go out to relieve themselves before. There is a chamber pot in the room, why do they go out?"

"Maybe they don't have rooms?"

"Then why is this room there?"
