For Ye Qingci, it was not a difficult task to conceal the fact that she was the holder of the Earth Core Lotus.
After all, she hadn’t paid much attention to probing into the identities of others before.
Without any desires, naturally there was nothing to be concerned about, and thus she almost never exposed too much information.
At that ti, Ye Qingci didn’t care much about being discovered by others, she just let things take their natural course.
The change in Ye Qingci’s mindset occurred after Long Xuan revealed himself as Number One.
Regardless of other people, Long Xuan’s identity was there, and being able to unconditionally request Long Xuan to agree to one of her requests indeed could significantly aid Ye Qingci, which was evident.
Using Yang Junmo from the Capital City as a starting point, Ye Qingci quickly pinpointed the identities of the remaining few.
Chen ngng, who had established contact with Yang Junmo after the Kunwu journey, was the first to be confird by Ye Qingci as Number Three.
In a sense, Chen ngng’s personality was even easier to identify than Yang Junmo’s, making it almost effortless to match Chen ngng with Number Three.
Then it was Number Four, Bei Tang Qian Xiao.
Compared to Chen ngng, confirming Bei Tang Qian Xiao did take so effort.
But after verifying in the group, once seeing the mutual recognition situation among several people, and combining their network of relationships, Ye Qingci didn’t have many options left.
The final confirmation ca during the Demon Extermination Conference event when Yang Junmo and Bei Tang Qian Xiao joined forces on Su Chengyu’s side, which was enough to indicate that Bei Tang Qian Xiao was Number Four.
The holder of the Green Cyan Lotus Fragnt, Number Five, was the one Ye Qingci spent the most effort on.
Firstly, it seed Yang Junmo hadn’t confird the whereabouts of Number Five, and secondly, after the incidents in Kunwu Realm, Number Five’s frequency of speaking in the group significantly lessened.
Although this helped Ye Qingci filter out many candidates, it also made it more difficult for her to definitively identify Number Five.
Until this ti, when the Yu Clan Cave Heaven shattered.
The spread and ferntation of this incident wasn’t extensive, as compared to the Luo Clan’s situation, which was almost orchestrated by Xia Country, the Yu Clan’s incident could be entirely seen as an accident.
Su Zhedian’s return was too sudden, his trip to the Yu Clan was too sudden, and the conflict of such magnitude with the Yu Clan took even the previously inford Ye Qingci by surprise.
To this day, even Ye Qingci still doesn’t know what happened in the Yu Clan Cave Heaven to cause such a great upheaval.
And it was in this unexpected incident that details were leaked from Number Five’s mouth in the group.
Despite not ntioning too many details, from Number Five’s confused and helpless deanor, it was enough for Ye Qingci to determine that Number Five must be a person from the Yu Clan.
Coupled with the Kunwu Realm incident, Ye Qingci was almost certain that the other party must have been one of those who entered Kunwu Realm during that ti, which finally allowed Ye Qingci to confirm Number Five’s identity.
Yu Clan, Yu Shuang.
Thus far, concerning the Earth Core, Ye Qingci had confird five people.
The only one yet to be confird was the latest addition, Number Seven.
Ye Qingci had been observing Number Seven for a while, and after Long Xuan’s self-exposure, Ye Qingci pondered over all of Number Seven’s words and deeds.
The final conclusion turned out to be.
This guy was lying.
The things Number Seven ntioned were not many, but indeed they had asked for help in the group a few tis, and even proactively ntioned their whereabouts several tis.
For instance, Number Seven had claid to appear in the Dadao Mountain battle where Cui Manlou inherited the Demonic Path.
However, piecing all these things together, they completely contradicted each other.
As soone personally present at the aftermath dealing of the Dadao Mountain incident, Ye Qingci had gone through all the event records at the Dragon Soul Departnt and the Demon Slayer Departnt, and none of them matched up with Number Seven.
Even for those with unclear backgrounds, after Ye Qingci’s further verification, none could align with Number Seven.
For instance, those with obscure teachings, or just beginning cultivation...
Yet, from the limited utterances of Number Seven in the group, Ye Qingci still found so useful clues.
That is, Number Seven had always been following matters related to the Demonic Path, which had been there for a long ti.
So with the recent upheaval in Southern Xinjiang, Ye Qingci was almost certain that Number Seven would surely be present.
"This ti I’ll personally co to catch you, let’s see how you escape my eyes."
Ye Qingci’s lips curled up, fully confident as if victory was certain.
West City District Flower and Bird Street
Qian Jinming, as usual, watered the flowers and plants in the store. After evenly distributing the rain dew so that every pot received its due share, she returned indoors and played with her favorite little bird.
Although she was the main person in charge of the Qian family in the Capital City, it didn’t stop her from taking this leisure ti each day to handle these mundane affairs.
After all, breaking through the realm had long been hopeless.
For her now, enjoying this rare peace was the most important.
After all, no one knew what kind of distinguished guests might visit next.
Like today.
"Quite a rare guest, I never expected the esteed Master Ye would one day visit my humble store."
Sensing the visitor, Qian Jinming didn’t turn her head and continued teasing the little bird in front of her, showing no sign of treating the visitor as a distinguished guest.
"Manager Qian, there are many matters, of course, I wouldn’t dare bother coming without reason. However..."
Halfway through her words, Ye Qingming glanced at the potted plants beside him.
Perceiving the gaze, these potted plants seed to co alive and imdiately shrank away.
Feeling Ye Qingming’s pressure, Qian Jinming turned her head with slight displeasure and said.
"Master Ye, the spirit monsters in my store have been registered with the Demon Slayer Departnt. Although their lives may not count as lives, if you really scare my little treasure to death... well, won can hold grudges."
Ye Qingming laughed lightly and said, "I won’t, I just wanted to advise the manager that even registered spirit monsters shouldn’t be so flauntly exposed, which does not conform to the managent rules of the Demon Slayer Departnt."
Qian Jinming’s brows furrowed tightly, clearly displeased with Ye Qingming’s reprimand, but she couldn’t refute since he was stating a fact.
"But rest assured, I am with the Dragon Soul Departnt, these matters aren’t my responsibility."
"Not your responsibility, yet you still have so much to say. Is this the attitude of soone asking for a favor?"
Faced with Qian Jinming’s anger, Ye Qingming remained unbothered, walking straight into the store, randomly finding a place to sit, then looked around and said.
"Manager Qian, mind if we talk sowhere else?"
"Do you qualify?"
Qian Jinming was clearly still annoyed and wasn’t inclined to speak graciously to Ye Qingming.
Ye Qingming tapped on the table in front of him, pondered for a mont, and then spoke.
"I don’t mind discussing it here, but if matters about this person get out, I fear it might be inconvenient for your Qian family."
"Su Xiaoxiao."
Before the three words were fully uttered, the environnt around Ye Qingming rapidly shifted. In an instant, Ye Qingming, who was just in the flower and bird shop, was taken to another space.
At this mont, Qian Jinming’s expression changed completely, furrowing her brows as she demanded from Ye Qingming.
"How did you know about this?"
Ye Qingming smiled and said, "Xia Country has never been exclusively about just your Qian and Shen families having an intelligence network."
"Dragon Soul Departnt? No, why would your Dragon Soul Departnt care about such matters?"
Suddenly realizing sothing, Qian Jinming looked up at Ye Qingming and asked, "Is it because of Su Chengyu? The Ye family has always been investigating matters related to Su Chengyu themselves, so it isn’t just Ye Qingci, everyone in the Ye family knows Su Chengyu’s identity?"
