Naijia declined the kind offer from the girl and continued to cultivate her martial arts within the Xuanyuan Family. She thought to herself that she must reach the Breaking Heaven realm before leaving this place.
She anticipated that someone would come to disturb her, but she had few direct enemies, so she was not afraid of anyone seeking revenge. As for Little Red Fish, there was no significant relationship between them; it was just that Little Red Fish had a poor relationship with Guan Yue, but that shouldn't affect Naijia! Having observed Little Red Fish's intentions, she felt there was no malicious intent.
Moreover, this small branch of the Xuanyuan Family began to treat Naijia with courtesy, completely supporting her. However, she still helped the steward with some tasks; she was not just living off others.
After learning about Naijia's situation, Tai Dou Pavilion could no longer sit idle. A talent who could see through the thoughts of others was an incredibly important figure, a solid guarantee for maintaining purity within Tai Dou Pavilion. Furthermore, she was Guan Yue's wife and could be utilized in this regard as a weapon against him!
Thus, Little Red Fish brought Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, Miao Fang, Fang Buchang, and Lu Qing, an elder in charge of external affairs from Tai Dou Pavilion, to the Xuanyuan Family branch to find Naijia. They had agreed beforehand to avoid mentioning Guan Yue to prevent provoking Naijia's resentment. If Naijia became an enemy, her significant role would be completely wasted; she would only serve as a tool against Guan Yue, which would mean losing a great opportunity for Tai Dou Pavilion to cleanse its ranks.
When Naijia saw Miao Fang, Fang Buchang, Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, and others, she felt very excited. It was truly delightful to see so many familiar faces and classmates in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. Moreover, now that Fire Red Girl and Little Red Fish bore her no ill will, it made her even happier.
However, upon seeing that these acquaintances from Yongning Continent had all reached the Breaking Heaven realm, Naijia felt a bit inferior.
After everyone sat down and shared their experiences since parting ways, Naijia learned that they were all brought into the Dragon Python Celestial Domain by Lu Qing. She secretly marveled: could this be fate? Naijia also knew that these individuals were now working at Tai Dou Pavilion and that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had regained his powers and become a notable figure in the Xuanyuan family; he was now a representative of the younger generation and had once again reached the peak of the Breaking Heaven realm!
Naijia was deeply shocked by Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's situation: could he truly be a prodigy? Was he destined to be Guan Yue's lifelong rival?
After her acquaintances exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lu Qing began to persuade her: "Miss Naijia, we hope you can help us with something."
Naijia smiled and replied, "What do you need help with? What can I do for you?" Deep down, she did not want to assist Tai Dou Pavilion because she did not understand Guan Yue's intentions.
"I would like to ask you to help us at Tai Dou Pavilion with an internal cleansing to identify those traitors who have strayed from our core values. The current situation is quite complex; therefore, we need to conduct a thorough investigation. We wish to borrow your abilities for this task."
Naijia looked into Lu Qing's eyes and realized they genuinely wanted to carry out an internal cleansing and needed her help. However, before encountering Guan Yue, she did not want to get involved in such matters. Thus, she shook her head and said, "My abilities cannot assist you. You are such a large sect with countless talented individuals; why would you need my input?"
Hearing Naijia's clear refusal, Lu Qing slowly replied: "Miss Naijia, you are correct; we have many talented individuals at Champion. However, since they have been in the pavilion for quite some time now, they carry personal biases. What we need is someone completely unrelated to Tai Dou Pavilion to conduct the assessment so we can ensure fairness and accuracy. This is extremely important and serious for us at Champion; please help us."
Miao Fang, Fang Buchang, Fire Red Girl Hu Hui, and Little Red Fish all urged Naijia to assist them at Champion. Moreover, Little Red Fish specifically said: "Sister Naijia, as long as you help us out, I can request Tai Dou Pavilion to make you a Breaking Heaven Disciple."
Little Red Fish's suggestion stirred something in Naijia. Her purpose for staying here was to break through to the Breaking Heaven realm and then assist Guan Yue in some way. If helping Tai Dou Pavilion once could lead her to reach that realm too, it wouldn't be bad.
Lu Qing noticed Naijia's wavering thoughts and targeted his words: "Miss Naijia, you know I have ways to reach Yongning Continent. You are aware that many of your relatives and friends are there; your avatars remain on Yongning Continent as well. If you refuse our request for help now, we won't take action against you directly; however, we can certainly conduct a sweep on Yongning Continent."
Naijia's expression immediately turned cold at this statement. Lu Qing quickly smiled: "I knew you were still concerned about your relatives and friends left on Yongning Continent. Please help us; just as Little Red Fish mentioned earlier, we can assist you in reaching the Breaking Heaven realm as well as support you before your assistance so that your higher level will allow for more accurate judgment."
Naijia was very familiar with Lu Qing's methods; this kind of pulling and hitting tactic was something she often used. However, this method was always particularly effective, and now Naijia had also been defeated by it, leaving her with no choice but to agree.
She did not want her decision to affect or harm her loved ones in the Yongning Continent. As for helping Tai Dou Pavilion with internal cleaning, she believed it was nothing that would harm her friends.
Lu Qing knew she would not resist. In fact, Naijia was currently in a state of confusion, and extending an olive branch to her at this moment was exactly what she needed, which Lu Qing clearly understood. As for going to the Yongning Continent to engage in killing, that was merely a suggestion; even she needed Guan Yue to bring her back, and others were even less likely to return.
However, Naijia was a smart person; there was no need for heavy-handedness.
Naijia agreed. She promised to go to Tai Dou Pavilion to assist them with their internal cleaning.
Lu Qing and the others immediately sent Naijia to Tai Dou Pavilion, where the Master of the Taido Pavilion conducted an interesting test on her.
The Lord of Tai Dou Pavilion summoned twenty Disciples, who lined up in front of Naijia. The Lord then began to ask questions, which Naijia had to judge, with the final scoring done by the elders hidden nearby.
The twenty Disciples, standing before the Lord, were trembling and unsure of what was happening.
The Lord began questioning:
"Each of you will answer in turn: How long has it been since you last touched a woman?"
All twenty Disciples answered, and Naijia noticed that only one person was lying, so she pointed him out. The lying Disciple was immediately taken away and dealt with by the elders. He confessed that he had indeed been with an elder's daughter just last night but had been too afraid to admit it, hence his lie.
For the first question, Naijia was correct.
The Lord then asked: "Everyone must answer: Have you done anything to wrong our Tai Dou Pavilion?"
The remaining nineteen Disciples answered this question, and Naijia pointed out that three of them were lying. The three denied it. So, Naijia approached them and asked each of the following questions:
"Are you truly loyal to Tai Dou Pavilion?"
"Why are you loyal to Tai Dou Pavilion?"
"If Tai Dou Pavilion wronged you, what would you do?"
"Are the interests of Tai Dou Pavilion above all else?"
"When you do something wrong against Tai Dou Pavilion, do you feel guilty?"
Because someone hurt you, you hate the Tai Dou Pavilion?
What did the Tai Dou Pavilion do to make you feel estranged from it?
After some debate with Naijia, it was confirmed that these three individuals had indeed harmed the Tai Dou Pavilion. Moreover, they eventually confessed, which surprised the Master of the Tai Dou Pavilion greatly. Out of nineteen people, three had committed acts against the Tai Dou Pavilion; what a significant ratio! It seems the Tai Dou Pavilion needs a thorough cleansing.
Witnessing Naijia's extraordinary abilities, the Lord of the Tai Dou Pavilion immediately decided to protect her in secret and began to cultivate her, planning to elevate her realm to the peak of the Breaking Heaven stage within ten days! Then, a comprehensive investigation of the Tai Dou Pavilion commenced, starting from the upper echelons.
In no time, everyone in the Tai Dou Pavilion felt uneasy. Many blamed Lu Qing for bringing this troublemaker into the Tai Dou Pavilion, fearing it would ultimately lead to its downfall.
Lu Qing secretly chuckled to himself: "Downfall? If you don’t collapse, how can I rise? An opportunity has arisen; I just need to figure out how to team up with Miss Na to take down a few competitors and seize real power within the Tai Dou Pavilion. After spending many years in the Yongning Continent, I misjudged things but ended up hitting the jackpot by encountering Naijia. The best is yet to come."
Since Naijia was recommended by Lu Qing, he also had a chance to get closer to her. Thus, Lu Qing persuaded Naijia: "Miss Na, you know that everyone might have done something harmful to our sect, but we should also consider their contributions to the Tai Dou Pavilion. Therefore, I hope you can distinguish between them and protect certain individuals. Of course, we won’t let you take risks for nothing; we will provide you with resources to help you grow stronger. What do you think?"
Naijia certainly didn’t mind flexible methods, but having dealt with matters in the Yongning Continent for many years, she knew how to negotiate. She coldly replied: "Elder Lu called me here not to address all negative phenomena seriously? Why has that changed now? Are we protecting some people? Are you using this opportunity to target certain individuals? If I become your accomplice, that’s a serious crime; if the Lord finds out, I could lose my life."
Naijia had already seen through Lu Qing's intention to offer her some benefits, so she remained noncommittal. She was eager for those benefits as they could help Guan Yue.
Lu Qing could only say: "As long as you can help me protect seven people, I can give you something upfront. Besides, you've already reached the peak of the Breaking Heaven stage as a Disciple; that should be satisfying enough. Many geniuses are only at the initial stage of Breaking Heaven now."
Naijia understood that she couldn't be too calculative with Lu Qing; otherwise, she would only end up at a disadvantage. So she gradually softened her stance, aiming for more benefits—helping anyone was irrelevant. Leaving a few disloyal individuals in the Tai Dou Pavilion was none of her concern!
