Hidden Moth-Chapter 366 - 206: Vacuum Realm Merges into the Mortal World (Part 3)

Perhaps they are unaware of Mei Guyu’s current situation in the "Vacuum Realm", believing it to be of no consequence, but their actions signify defiance of the sect leader’s order,

An organization as large as a nation will have some internal confidential matters; if a confidential document just released becomes widely known through various channels, what does this indicate?

This is not only a problem of confidentiality but also a malfunction in the entire system, with individuals no longer executing decrees, instead willfully violating and sabotaging them for personal reasons.

After Mei Guyu came out of seclusion, she discovered so many issues within the Alchemy Sect. Although punishments were duly administered, there must be internal problems within the sect, which she might never have uncovered had she stayed within the Immortal Pot Grotto Heaven.

So she decided to leave the Sect Headquarters and ventured to Qi Yuan, this "place of right and wrong," and issued her first command in years as the sect leader. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

After explaining this background, Jiang Daozhen asked, "If someone learns the news, they might be eager to cozy up to Meihua Immortal, yet here you are, trying to avoid her?"

He Kao remained silent, choosing to respond with silence.

Jiang Daozhen made a pointed remark, "Meihua Immortal has a very aloof nature, not close to anyone. Just maintain a normal colleague relationship and don’t entertain any other ideas."

He Kao replied irritably, "You know my thoughts best. I’ll just ask one thing, what if she discovers I’m the Hidden Moth?"

Jiang Daozhen said, "This is your test. As a Hidden Moth, you should first learn how to hide yourself; otherwise, what’s the point of being a Hidden Moth?"

He Kao said, "I’m saying what if!"

Jiang Daozhen said, "Your mindset is flawed, why so worried?

The company isn’t owned by you, and Qi Yuan isn’t your personal territory. Whether she comes or not isn’t up to you or me—just focus on your own duties.

Avoid letting her find out is best, but if she does discover you as the Hidden Moth, it’s no big deal. Being a Hidden Moth isn’t a crime; Elder Li, Elder Gu, and I have long known!

Just make sure not to commit evildoings with the Hidden Moth’s ability. Even if you get caught stealing chickens or dogs by her, she won’t be lenient with you, and even less so to spare us old folks any face.

Her disciples from the Alchemy Sect who made mistakes were punished as they should be. If you err and get caught, think of the consequences..."

Old Man Jiang lectured He Kao, criticizing his flawed mindset, saying there’s no need for such worry, that being the Hidden Moth isn’t an issue, only what he does with that identity.

However, the old man wasn’t aware that He Kao had just broken through to Tier Four, made greater discoveries, and held more secrets, especially concerning the "Tan Xian’s Walking Stick Painting", which he hadn’t shared with anyone.

Moreover, he already had conflicts with many in the Alchemy Sect, including the high ranks, so his concerns were understandable.

Even if Mei Guyu was in the Vacuum Realm, He Kao dared not provoke her, but with her presence in Qi Yuan, unforeseen incidents could ensue, potentially implicating He Kao as well.

Truly, when the tree desires calm, the wind will not cease. He initially intended to tell Old Man Jiang about breaking through Tier Four today but decided against further complications, opting to share it later when more opportune.

Reflecting on becoming the Hidden Moth, he never exploited the Invisibility Ability for crime; Ye Liangcheng’s place had plenty of chickens and five big wolves, yet he never sneaked in...

He Kao chimed in quietly, "I understand. Anything else you need to remind me of, sir?"

Jiang Daozhen said, "She’s in the Vacuum Realm, having lost her Divine Power; only you and I are aware, not even other high-level members in the Alchemy Sect might notice.

Remember, speak to no one about this, not even Wei Luo—not out of distrust, but not to let more know. Should there be any situation, it could be dangerous for her; you must strive to protect her."

He Kao asked, "If there’s danger, why not stay in the Immortal Pot Grotto Heaven?"

Jiang Daozhen replied, "If there’s an issue among Alchemy Sect’s high ranks, is the Sect Headquarters necessarily safe? Besides, she’s only lost her Divine Power; ordinary people lack Divine Power, yet don’t they live their lives and work daily as usual?

Without such a mindset, one cannot break into the Vacuum!" At this point, the old man sighed again, "To be honest, telling you these intricacies is still premature, possibly hindering your cultivation..."

Mei Guyu always felt something missing in breaking into the Vacuum during seclusion in Immortal Pot Grotto Heaven. Upon leaving seclusion, she found Jiang Daozhen had become a Tier Seven Grand Calculator, naturally seeking his guidance on Breaking the Gate.

But Old Man Jiang couldn’t clarify much, not due to inconvenient truths, but because at this level of cultivation, there were no reference rituals available; each person’s journey is unique, unlikely to suit another.

Even if Old Man Jiang revealed everything to Mei Guyu, it might misguide her.

Thus, he only reiterated similar advice: ordinary people live without Divine Power, go to work daily, and without such a mindset, one cannot break into the Vacuum!

Consequently, hearing this, Mei Guyu indeed decided to get a job! Ultimately, it was Old Man Jiang’s one statement that stirred this up.

But why did Mei Guyu choose to work at Tengxin Group’s Qi Yuan Branch? Because there is no more suitable place!
