Originally, Taoist Spirit Snake was in a very uncomfortable mood. After all, when he thought of someone betraying him, he would definitely want to kill him quickly. However, when Xiao Shi appeared in the city lord's mansion on Spirit Snake Island, he suddenly felt relieved. Cheerful, I see, everything makes sense now. No wonder, there has been no news about Xiao Shi in these years. It turns out that this girl is hiding on Spirit Snake Island. In the past, Xiaoshi was loved by the people on Spirit Snake Island. If she sneaked back, she would be able to instigate those who stayed here to rebel with just one sentence. In fact, it cannot be regarded as instigating rebellion. After all, in the eyes of the people, Xiao Shi represents himself. As long as Xiao Shi operates under the banner of secret operations, the news about Xiao Shi on Spirit Snake Island will not be leaked.
Taoist Spirit Snake looked at the well-disguised middle-aged female Taoist priest in front of him, and felt happy. This girl did not even use her own face to meet people. Unfortunately, her steps had completely exposed her true identity.
The middle-aged female Taoist priest carefully observed the middle-aged man in front of her. After being stunned for a while, she said to the bald man standing guard: "Go down. No one else is allowed to come near this place without my instructions."
After the bald man left, Xiaoshi came to the desk in the main hall, took several photos of the desk with his hand, and then a panel popped up on the desk. Xiao Shi pressed twice on the panel, and the protective array in the main hall was opened. In this way, Xiaoshi and Taoist Spirit Snake were wrapped in the protective array.
Xiao Shi stared at Taoist Spirit Snake blankly, both of them feeling embarrassed. Taoist Spirit Snake understood that he had probably been seen through by this girl. The two of them were too familiar. Even if he didn't hear the footsteps, he could still tell the look in the eyes of the middle-aged female Taoist priest in front of him. A female Taoist priest is a small poem. Although the two of them made a lot of disguises, they did not make a fuss about their eyes. Therefore, a huge loophole appeared. Of course, this loophole was only limited to those who were very familiar with them. The problem is that Taoist Ling She and Xiao Shi are grandfathers and grandsons, and Xiao Shi's parents have very average cultivation qualifications. Therefore, Xiao Shi has been taught by Taoist Ling Snake himself from the beginning of his cultivation. Xiaoshi was able to become the most outstanding young generation in the outer sea, and at least half of the credit was due to the hard work of Taoist Lingshe. It can be imagined that Xiaoshi spent nearly sixty years of cultivation with Taoist Lingshe. Yes, no matter who wants to hide the other person, it is almost impossible to just change the face.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Shi finally asked.
"Of course I'm here to see you." Taoist Spirit Snake replied.
"Impossible, it's impossible for you to know that I'm on Spirit Snake Island." Xiao Shi said calmly, "Stop being so insensitive and tell me your true purpose! Otherwise, I will disappear on Spirit Snake Island immediately. On the island.”
Taoist Spirit Snake could only smile bitterly. This girl was too familiar with him, so this trick would not work at all. Taoist Spirit Snake thought for a while and decided to tell the truth. It happened that he could also learn about the investigation agency's layout on Spirit Snake Island from Xiao Shi's mouth.
Taoist Spirit Snake immediately informed Xiao Shi about the establishment of a branch of the relevant investigation agency on Ling Snake Island. After hearing this, Xiaoshi was shocked and asked directly: "This matter is very hidden, how did you know about it?"
As soon as Taoist Spirit Snake heard what Xiao Shi said, he knew that Xiao Shi was not only aware of this matter, but was also very likely to be a participant in it.
Taoist Spirit Snake became a little anxious and asked quickly: "My dear granddaughter, you won't be hanging out with the investigation agency, will you?"
Xiao Shi was very displeased and directly said: "What's the matter, you can hang out with the Ten Thousand Islands League, so I can't cooperate with the investigation agency? Besides, the Ten Thousand Islands League is a wanted target, and the investigation This organization is a conscientious organization praised by everyone in the spiritual world, and it is not illegal to set up a branch here."
"Since there is no violation of the regulations, why do we have to do it secretly? I think there is a lot of trouble in this!" Taoist Lingshe didn't like others to mention the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, so he spoke forcefully, "You are still young, don't I was sold by someone and I’m still counting money for others.”
"You are talking about yourself, you are not a good alliance leader, you have to be a pawn for others, but now, you have even sold your ancestors' inheritance." Xiao Shi's words were like a sharp thorn, deep in his heart. Deeply penetrated into the heart of Taoist Spirit Snake.
In fact, Xiaoshi used to admire her grandfather Lingshe Taoist very much. Unfortunately, due to a wrong choice by Lingshe Taoist, there was a huge rift between Xiaoshi and Lingshe Taoist. Although there is no breakup yet, what Taoist Ling She said now was not only a deaf ear to Xiao Shi, but Xiao Shi would also sneer at Taoist Ling She. It was because the two people always quarreled when they met, that's why Xiaoshi left Fisherman Island suddenly. At the beginning, Taoist Ling She felt relieved. However, after there was no news from Xiao Shi for a long time, Taoist Ling She became worried again.
When Taoist Spirit Snake got angry, he raised his hand and wanted to slap Xiao Shi. However, when he saw that Xiao Shi didn't make any dodge gesture at all, he straightened his neck and pointed at him, as if to say, come on, Better to kill me. Taoist Spirit Snake's heart suddenly softened. Xiaoshi was his most beloved granddaughter and the greatest hope of their lineage. He had never laid a finger on her. How could he do it at this time? You really can do it!
"No more quarrel, no more quarrel. Grandpa is old and can no longer see through some things. Don't blame grandpa. Of course grandpa knows that he was wrong. However, there are some things that you don't know clearly and I can't help it!" Taoist Spirit Snake put down his hands, his whole body became decadent, and his expression looked extremely helpless.
"How can I know if you don't tell me?" Xiaoshi said.
"Ahem, I was forced back then. You also know that Spirit Snake Island is very close to the Immortal Realm. If we want to solve the survival crisis, we must relocate. However, at the alliance meeting, even if the He family does not exist on Fisherman Island , it is still too difficult for us to obtain this island. For this reason, I can only agree to the requests of some people." Taoist Spirit Snake sighed and said.
"Some people? Ten Thousand Islands Alliance?" Xiao Shi asked.
"At that time, there was no Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, only the Alliance." Taoist Spirit Snake replied.
Now many things became clear. Xiao Shi had never figured it out before, but the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance was a big rival to replace the Outer Sea Cultivator Alliance and gain the right to rule the Outer Sea. As the leader of the alliance, Taoist Spirit Snake, why would he become the opponent's minion and turn against his own alliance? This is too weird. Therefore, Xiaoshi has always believed that the reason why his grandfather got mad is probably because The Ten Thousand Islands Alliance forcibly brainwashed his grandfather, otherwise, this would not make sense at all!
Now, after Taoist Spirit Snake explained it like this, Xiao Shi understood. The Alliance has indeed developed very rapidly in the outer sea, and its sphere of influence has also become very large. However, fortunately, the Alliance has never shown a desire to rule the outer sea. Therefore, although the Alliance knows about this organization, they have not quarreled with it. Attack people. As a result, in order to obtain the ownership of Fisherman Island, Taoist Spirit Snake must obtain the approval of most of the alliance members at the alliance meeting. Therefore, he can only find the alliance in the hope of getting help from the other party, so Taoist Spirit Snake must pay accordingly. price.
"The price paid for Fisherman Island is too high." Xiaoshi sighed, "I shouldn't have agreed to them at that time."
"At that time, how could I have guessed this outcome." Taoist Lingshe looked a little confused, "I just promised that if one day, the top leaders of the Lingdu Continent patrol agency enter the sea, I will help them deal with this person. At that time, I remember that it had been many years since the inspection agencies had sent people to the outer seas. Even if they sent people, they would not be very powerful. Therefore, I thought this matter should not be difficult. Who knew that they would actually cause turmoil and bring chaos to the sea? The members of the Presbyterian Church were all alarmed, otherwise, I would not have easily agreed to their request."
Xiao Shi was also speechless. In fact, if he thought about it from his perspective, he might make the same choice. The problem is, no one would have thought that they would play so big in the end. I can only say that my vision is still too low. When the Spirit Snake Taoist was only concerned about the life and death of his own people, he was looking at the entire outer sea, and his horizons had even expanded to the Lingdu Continent. When the gap between you and others is too big, you can only become their pawn, because you have no idea what they are thinking.
"Ahem, you should have told me earlier." Xiaoshi said softly.
"You were working very hard at that time, running around with Hao Yun and the others. I didn't want to bother you by telling you about the dirty things in the league. After all, I had to solve these things. But I didn't expect that from the beginning The plan is far beyond our imagination." Taoist Spirit Snake explained, "Now that the matter has come to this, we still have to look forward. No matter what, Fisherman Island is already ours. Although, Spirit Snake Secret Realm The destruction of the island is a pity, but as long as there is no spiritual energy in Spirit Snake Island, that secret realm will be finished sooner or later."
Xiaoshi nodded silently, and it could be seen that her mood was much better. As long as the communication at home was smooth, it was not difficult to solve the problems at home. Xiaoshi was silent for a while, and then said to Taoist Spirit Snake: "I also acted with Hao Yun and the others, and then got involved with the investigation agency. Later, after what happened on Spirit Snake Island, I took the initiative to find the investigation agency. I hope they can help me investigate the origin of the Spirit Snake Secret Realm and see if they can find a similar secret realm so that our inheritance can continue."
Taoist Spirit Snake was a little disbelieving and asked quickly: "So, you asked the investigation agency to set up a branch on Spirit Snake Island?"
It turns out that the investigation agency has never had a branch in the outer sea. After all, in the consensus reached between the outer sea cultivators alliance and the Lingdu Continent, the outer sea cultivators did not want the major forces in the outer sea to directly set up branches in the outer sea. . Although the investigation agency has a good reputation, they are still an organization on the Lingdu Continent after all, so they have always abided by this consensus. However, to be honest, the investigation agency has already established sales offices on many large offshore islands, so even establishing another branch is not a big deal. Besides, there is no way to draw a conclusion as to how much difference there is between a sales department and a branch. To put it bluntly, it may just be a difference in name.
"Yes, if you want to investigate more information, the ordinary sales department cannot complete the investigation work. So, I proposed that they simply set up a research branch on Spirit Snake Island. Anyway, here is also It’s already very depressed, so no one will pay attention to this place.” Xiaoshi replied.
