I Can Extract Everything

"What do you mean by Elder Yi has disappeared?" Sect Master Yuan's face was expressionless. However, he was actually irate now. There was a core elder who dared to disappear without anyone knowing in a critical moment like this.

The core elders were the pillars of the sect. One of the reasons they were given such a high status was that they possessed strength far above ordinary elders. If anything happens to the sect, they have an obligation to step forward and protect the sect. If they absent at times like that, then who would protect the sect?

"Does Elder Yi's disappearance have anything to do with this incident?" He asked again.

Noticing that the sect master's tone had risen into several degrees, Elder Chang couldn't help trembling a little. He wasn't the one at fault here but who told him to have the right to oversee the whole situation in the sect. When an elder went missing, the sect master would question him; even when a vase is lost, it was still him who was questioned.

He looked at the other four core elders; two of them lowered their heads, one person whistled to the side, and another person grinned at him like he was taking p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e in other's misfortune.

Elder Chang, "..."

In the end, he turned his head towards Sect Master Yuan and answered honestly, "Sect Master, I'm still not quite sure about this matter. But I have a little guess that Elder Yi might know something about what happened in Greenleaf Village."

"Since I found out about Dragon Qi in Greenleaf Village, I started to focus my investigations on that village. I ordered the sect's disciples to search for all the information related to that village. And today, I received a report that there was a wandering cultivator who saw two of our sect's disciples fly with flying swords; He saw them heading towards Greenleaf Village two days ago."

"After a twist and turn, I finally got an idea who these two disciples are. One is an inner disciple named Li Hai, and he turned out to be Elder Tian's disciple..."

Elder Chang immediately looked at the man who appeared to be in his forties. His black hair was dr.a.p.ed on his shoulders, directly extending to his waist. He wore a set of simple black robes. His appearance was nothing special at all. He was the type that would not raise any attention if he was left in a crowd

This man was Elder Tian, ​​the core elder who was constantly grinning as the Sect Master Yuan constantly interrogated him.

He sneered at Elder Tian and roared happily in his heart, "Let's see how you will handle this after you enjoying in taking p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e in other's misfortune!"

After hearing his name mentioned all of a sudden, Elder Tian's face froze instantly.

The other three core elders apparently couldn't help laughing after seeing Elder Tian's drastic change expression when Elder Yi dragged his name. However, they didn't dare to laugh brazenly in front of Sect Master Yuan, so they could only do so while lowering their heads.

"Li Hai? What's wrong with that kid?" Elder Tian asked in surprise as if he didn't expect his beloved disciple to be involved in this muddy water.

Elder Chang ignored the question as he continued to his speech, "I've read the record in the Registration Hall that Li Hai received a mission issued by the Sect Master two days ago. it was a mission to buy a certain heaven and earth material that will appear in the Midnight Owl Bazaar..."

He occasionally peeked at the Sect Master Yuan's reaction. Then, he saw Sect Master Yuan finally nodded as he recalled that matter, "Indeed, I put out a mission like that three days ago before I decided to closed-door cultivation. Go on!"

"The Midnight Owl Bazaar this time is held in Flower City, and Flower City itself is in the south direction of the Sky Feather Sect. It just so happens that Greenleaf Village is also located in the south of our sect. According to the information I received from the sect's disciples, Greenleaf Village appears like it just got destroyed in about a day or two a day. It was the time that coincided with Li Hai's departure from the sect to Flower City. "

"After gathering the evidence, I calculated that there was a high probability that Li Hai would pass through that village to get to Flower City. In that case, he might know something about what was going on in Greenleaf Village at that time. At first, it was just my rough guess, but Elder Yi's sudden disappearance confirmed that my guess might be right."

"Why is that?" Elder Yang asked curiously.

Subconsciously, he was already so immersed in Elder Chang's deductions. He grew more interested as if he was listening to a professional detective's deductions. Likewise with other core elders, even sect masters.

Elder Chang rolled his eyes upon noticing their curious looks. They sure are having fun hearing the endless words that came out of my mouth. My mouth is almost dry in here!

Unfortunately, he could only complain in silence.

"Isn't that obvious? He is the one who gave Li Hai this mission; accordingly, he also has the responsibility for this matter. In this perspective, I believed, he must even think the same way as me. Therefore, I highly suspect that his departure was related to this case. He's probably looking for Li Hai's whereabouts right now. "

Sect Master Yuan let out a sigh as he said, "Looks like we have to wait until Elder Yi came back. When that time comes, we will find out the truth behind what happened in Greenleaf Village. Of course, that doesn't mean that we should stop our investigation. Keep doing it until Elder Yi returns!"

The five core elders who were here nodded in agreement with what their sect master had said.

So far, this is the best decision they currently had.

"More importantly, Elder Tian, since you are the Li Hai's master, do you have any way to communicate or locate your disciple?"

"No, sect master!" Elder Tian immediately replied, "But I gave him a protective talisman. If he used it, I would immediately know where he is. Unfortunately, until now, he hasn't used it even once..."

"Yeah, we can only pray that the boy would use that protective talisman soon!" Elder Chang made a prayer gesture.

"Yeah... Apparently, we can only do that." Elder Yang sighed.

"Agree!"

"1+"

"..." Elder Tian.

Are you all perhaps cursing my disciple to meet an accident outside?

"Sect Master, look! They disregarded my feelings and directly cursed my beloved disciple to death. Aah... I can't stand it! Sect Master, please, punish them! Cut their salaries!"

"Bastard Tian, what do you mean by that? Our salaries are already so low, yet you still dare to ask the Sect Master to cut our salaries shorter? Might as well just cut our lives!" Elder Yang angrily slammed his hands on the table.

The other two core elders were surprisingly like-minded as Elder Yang.

"Agree!"

"1+"

"..."

Annoyed, they even dared to mention low salary matter in front of his face. Sect Master Yuan immediately ignored them as he shifted his eyes toward Elder Chang again and spoke: "I recalled you said there were two disciples who accepted my mission. One is Li Hai, then who is the other?"

"The other one is an outer disciple. His name is Qin Yi, and he is only the Third Stage Qi Condensation." Elder Chang answered honestly, "To put simply, there's nothing remarkable about him except his record entering the sect."

"Oh?" Sect Master Yuan a bit interested and smiled slightly, "What happened to this disciple? Is it possible that he actually has a godly martial aptitude, however, because he offended an elder, he ended up in the outer sect?"

"... No. In fact, it's the opposite." At this point, Elder Chang was didn't know what to say: "His talent is only Ordinary Grade, but because he received a favor from an elder, he was thrown off into the Novices' Quarter."

"Huh?" Sect Master Yuan tilted his head as he was confused. This sentence sounds a little wrong!

An elder favored him, and he should have the right to enter the inner sect directly. But why was he thrown into the Novices' Quarter instead?

Being favored by an elder was a joyous matter, but it doesn't sound nice for this disciple.

"Who is that elder? Does he even understand the word" Favors"? How did he even manage to become elder with such a woolly-headed?"

"Err…" Elder Chang hesitated to say it, so he decided to answer it in whispers, but his voice was still quite audible for the others.

"Sect Master, that woolly-headed elder is... Elder Tian!"

The whole room, "..."

They reflexively turned towards Elder Tian.

Meanwhile, Elder Tian buried his head in his c.h.e.s.t while scratching his head in embarrassment.
