A World of Cultivation I Possess

Watching Chen Mobai and Qing Nv leave the shore, Luo Hezheng sighed, "Ah, youth is wonderful."

"Kongqing Pavilion is this way, right?"

It wasn't Luo Hezheng's first time at the Sentence Mang Refining Department, but he still asked Song Yuexin symbolically. She nodded.

"I'll take you there."

Just as the two were about to head in another direction, Luo Hezheng suddenly made a sound of surprise and turned to look in a certain direction.

"What's wrong, Teacher Luo?"

"Nothing."

Luo Hezheng shook his head, not mentioning the strange feeling of being watched.

This was a port. After disembarking, one could see rows of two- to three-story Western-style houses lining the road, arranged in a seemingly deliberate pattern, exuding a unique aesthetic of unity between heaven and man.

In one of these inconspicuous buildings, a girl in sunglasses sat on the windowsill, her legs dangling in the air, looking toward the port.

Behind her, a large screen on the wall displayed the scene at the port.

"It seems we've been noticed."

The girl in sunglasses turned her head and said. A moment later, a slight cough came from behind her.

"This is the Sentence Mang Refining Department's surveillance. We're just borrowing the footage. Even if we're discovered, the other academies won't say anything. They'll just think we're taking necessary precautions for the upcoming offline competition."

In the room, in the farthest corner from the sunlight, a man with gray hair sat on a wooden chair, watching the screen and gently pressing the remote control in his hand.

Soon, the screen, which originally showed only the port, split into nine smaller sections.

In one of them, an image of Chen Mobai and Qing Nv walking by flashed by.

"I heard you gave him a reading?"

The gray-haired man pointed at Chen Mobai and then switched the surveillance footage from various parts of Wood God Island, continuously tracking this chief of the Refining Department.

"Yes, it was a coincidence. I wasn't waiting for him."

The girl in sunglasses turned her head and, seeing the screen, spoke in a calm tone.

"Oh, so even the Divine Mechanism Mansion's path of causality can make mistakes?"

The gray-haired man was surprised by her words, but he quickly coughed twice, as if his health was not good.
