Chapter 1653 - 933: The True Form of Kunxu, Origin Point of the Law Chain

Instead, trying to cover it up only arouses unnecessary curiosity in the other party.

Then Yue Qinglan said, "Sorry, Lord Zhang, Le Mulan is still engaged in important research and doesn’t have the time to meet anyone temporarily."

Zhang Yu frowned and said, "What if I must see her?"

Yue Qinglan, however, smiled helplessly and said, "Of course, we still have to give face to Lord Zhang, so please wait a moment, and we’ll have her come over."

Witnessing this scene, Zhang Yu was slightly stunned: "So simple? Is it possible that my reputation has become so useful?"

But on second thought, Zhang Yu knew it was impossible.

"For the Kunxu Cultivators to give up the benefits at hand, how can it be so simple? I really want to see what methods you will use."

The next moment, Le Mulan’s projection descended in front of Zhang Yu.

The instant she saw Zhang Yu, Le Mulan’s heart trembled, but the words that Yue Qinglan and Lian Zizi successively reminded her of quickly surfaced in her mind.

Lian Zizi: "This Zhang Yu is not qualified to know the secrets here, so things you shouldn’t say, remember not to speak carelessly."

Yue Qinglan: "You know how much importance the higher-ups attach to this project. If any information leaks, neither you nor Zhang Yu, not even us, will escape being buried with it, understand?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu said, "Mu Lan? Is that you?"

Le Mulan’s projection instantly displayed various personal identification information, proving her identity.

Meanwhile, when she looked at Zhang Yu, she could only see his personal appearance and couldn’t identify various information like rank, cultivation level, merit, or titles.

This is exactly the method Lian Zizi used on her, even though she projected herself, she was still cut off from connections to the external Spirit Realm and Law Realm.

Hence, Le Mulan could only see Zhang Yu’s appearance under the filtering by Lian Zizi, unable to receive the information emanating from Zhang Yu.

Naturally, Le Mulan also had no way of knowing what Zhang Yu had done outside over the past year and what his current status was.

Looking at Zhang Yu before her, Le Mulan sighed inwardly: "The waters here are too deep; I can’t let Zhang Yu get pulled in."

Thinking of this, feeling Lian Zizi and Yue Qinglan’s strict surveillance beside her, Le Mulan began speaking the prepared statements that had already been confirmed.

"I have signed a contract with Lord Yue and the others; I will have to work here for a long time to come."

Le Mulan said with a cold expression: "Due to confidentiality agreements, I also can’t contact the outside world usually."

"You..." Le Mulan looked at Zhang Yu, took a deep breath, and said, "You shouldn’t come to find me again in the future; I’m afraid it will affect my work."

After saying this, Le Mulan had already turned her head away, no longer looking at Zhang Yu, but instead looked at Lian Zizi and said, "Xuanjun, I want to return to work."

Lian Zizi nodded slightly, a hint of a smile appearing in his heart.

In his view... For lower cultivators to cling to a big tree and abandon past leadership, such a scene was overly common in Kunxu, enough to explain Le Mulan’s behavior.

"Next, let’s give Zhang Yu some money, more than that, Yue Qinglan and I can accompany him, and it should be fine."

Lian Zizi quickly thought: "Hmm... can’t give too much money, or it will easily arouse suspicion; giving a few hundred thousand to dismiss him should be enough."

In her heart, Yue Qinglan mused: "After all, Zhang Yu does not know Le Mulan’s true value. To him... Le Mulan is just a lower vassal clinging to a new master; he wouldn’t possibly do anything for this subordinate anymore..."

But just then, Zhang Yu calmly said, "I want to personally see Le Mulan, not her projection, but her real self."

Yue Qinglan smiled slightly and said, "Lord Zhang, just a lower cultivator, why bother? Today, Lian Zizi and I came to accompany you together."

Lian Zizi sent a transfer to Zhang Yu, only to find it was returned on the spot.

Only to hear Zhang Yu coldly say, "Le Mulan is the person I brought to the sect, so I must be responsible to the end. What condition she is in, what thoughts she has, I must personally confirm."

Listening to Zhang Yu’s words, the God of Reporting thought to himself: "Zhang Yu can’t possibly state his real reason for coming here, like... according to my guess, it’s because of a possible Dao Seed on Le Mulan? So he still uses his persona of always caring for his subordinates and remembering old affections as an excuse?"

Listening to Zhang Yu’s words, Le Mulan’s heart shook violently, she wanted to persuade Zhang Yu not to act rashly, wanted to advise him not to offend the pharmaceutical company here, but she knew the more she said this, the more it might cause Zhang Yu to make a mistake.

Le Mulan could only constantly cry out in her heart: "Don’t, Zhang Yu... please don’t meddle with me, you’ll be taken by the pharmaceutical company..."

In an instant, countless bloody and cruel scenes flashed in Le Mulan’s mind, causing the mana within her body to stir slightly.

Lian Zizi and Yue Qinglan exchanged a surprised glance, seemingly not expecting Zhang Yu to be so persistent about Le Mulan’s matter.

Watching Zhang Yu walk step by step, Lian Zizi directly severed Le Mulan’s projection, stepping out to intercept Zhang Yu, saying, "Lord Zhang, Hengsheng Cave Heaven is a private Small Realm; are you seriously thinking of breaking in?!"

Zhang Yu coldly snorted and said, "So what if I break in? I want to see if this is still Wanfa’s land!"

The next moment, Zhang Yu had already pointed a finger, aimed at the gate of the Small Realm in front, and said, "I want to inspect... Hengsheng Cave Heaven, to see if it is suitable... as the starting point for my pilot of the 16th Layer Law Chain."

"Do you intend to block me? To obstruct the progress of the sect’s legal reform?"
