Shangguan Li's jade slip mentioned that his Illusory Sea Sect was gradually recovering the resources of those stores that had been robbed. Because of the gentleness of their methods, and because they had established a certain prestige, the small sects had all cooperated very well and did not resist seriously.

The Illusory Sea Sect was also rebuilding its own shop at the same time, and its robust strength displayed the position of a hegemon in all walks of life.

Furthermore, the other forces did not have any evidence to back them up. Furthermore, due to their powerful Illusory Sea Sect, not a single one of them dared to discuss the rumors anymore. Each and every one of them was as quiet as a quail.

After looking at it, Hua Ruge kept the jade slip and asked Tuoba Rui: "Are you satisfied with our sect master's current situation?"

"Yes, I was called over yesterday. He said that he would take me in as his personal disciple and teach me the supreme techniques." Tuoba Rui said indifferently, his expression did not change in the slightest.

"That old fellow wants to take you as his disciple?" Hua Ruge heard and raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

Tuoba Rui lowered his head and looked at her, and asked: "What's wrong?"

"That's not good. If you took him as your master, wouldn't that mean that my martial nephew has become my senior?" Hua Ruge said with dissatisfaction.

Tuoba Rui looked at her unhappily after hearing what she said, and said: "I will agree to that too."

"So you didn't agree to it before?" Hua Ruge's eyes lit up.

"I'll change my mind." Tuoba Rui insisted.

Hua Ruge coughed dryly, and said seriously: "Actually there is another reason, you say that the old fellow's eyes are extremely venomous, if I keep interacting with you, and discover your secret, what will I do?"

"You." Tuoba Rui pinched her nose, looking somewhat helpless.

Hua Ruge continued: "You also feel that what I said makes sense, so, if you want to reject, you have to refuse."

Tuoba Rui was also worried, and knew that he would not agree, but he did not want to see her like this, so he simply ignored her.

"Having gotten used to being a member of the younger generation and suddenly becoming an elder, the feeling must not be too good. Anyone who sees this must pay their respects." Hua Ruge was still laughing heartlessly.

Tuoba Rui shook his head, helping her manage her affairs.

Hua Ruge was intoxicated for a while before continuing: "I had thought that the Illusory Sea Sect had really suppressed everything, but I didn't know that once it had collapsed, it would be very difficult for it to be re-established."

"There's no need to pay any attention to him for now. We'll just wait and see." This time, Tuoba Rui finally answered.

Hua Ruge nodded.

"The one that we need to take care of now is Zhong Zheng. Since you have a way, don't be too careless." Tuoba Rui reminded her again.

"Don't worry, I've been staring at it for so long. Who can escape from my grasp?" Hua Ruge yawned lazily as he spoke.

Tuoba Rui patted her on the shoulder and said, "Sleep for a while."

"I've come to my senses in the past few days." Hua Ruge sat up and said, "Let's finish this together."

Seeing that she was interested, Tuoba Rui nodded his head and agreed.

In this period of time, Zhong Zheng saw hope once again. Previously, he had used his strong spiritual energy to dissolve or suppress the poison in his body, and his body was gradually recovering.

However, he was no longer in a rush to communicate with the outside world. He held his breath in his heart, and only thought about how he would be able to heavily injure that Hu Yue after he completely recovered.

Since one group of disciples wasn't able to find any information about her, then he would send another group. He didn't believe that once he got hold of her information, she would be able to safely sit on the Vice Palace Master's seat.

He felt that everything was in his plan, and he would take back what he had lost with his own hands.

The flattery Hua Ruge received from the servants was just as they wished. She began to promote her trusted aides and also began to develop her own strength. It was not because she wanted to do so, but because if she did not, she would be suspected.

Right now, she had to pretend everything was just for the sake of seizing power. She couldn't let anyone suspect anything else.0

As the number of her trusted aides increased, the number of people who helped her also increased. Gradually, she became an unruly shopkeeper again, handling affairs less than two hours a day.

This way, Tuoba Rui would come lesser.

In the days without Tuoba Rui, Hua Ruge had more free time, so he spent a small amount of energy to monitor Zhong Zheng, constantly paying attention to his movements.

Cheng Fang would occasionally come to see Hua Ruge, and because he didn't want the old man to suspect him, Hua Ruge would always let her stay for a while. Of course, the boundaries were always clear, he only said that it was to make the old man happy.

The mad old man was indeed very happy to see it, and every time he saw Cheng Fang's gaze, he would look especially affectionate.

Hua Ruge felt her head hurt, she had no idea how this situation would end. She felt that if her master found out that she was a girl, she couldn't find a wife nor give birth to her disciple's granddaughter.

That day, Hua Ruge was eating grapes and basking in the sun, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a small child who had been attending to her the whole time came over and whispered into her ear: "Senior Master, there's movement from Martial Uncle Zhong's side. He can already get off the bed and walk around, I think his body should be fine."

"It's about time." Hua Ruge lazily continued: "The person planted by his side hasn't been discovered, right?"

"Seems not. That was the person he trusted the most." The child replied.

Hua Ruge laughed, "It's time to spread the news."

"Yes." The boy left after saying that.

Because Hua Ruge no longer felt sleepy, he continued to eat the grapes, his expression still extremely satisfied.

That day, Zhong Zheng was trying to resolve the poison in his body to speak, but he failed after a few unsuccessful attempts.

Just where did this Hu Yue come from, to have such a powerful poison.

"Master." A disciple bowed behind him.

Zhong Zheng looked at the disciple with a questioning look.

That disciple took two steps forward and whispered into his ear, "Disciple's trusted aide is lying in ambush beside Hu Yue.

"Hmm?" Zhong Zheng couldn't speak, he could only mutter in a muffled voice.

"This disciple has received reliable information that this Hu Yue actually has a personal relationship with Tianhai. Tonight, she will secretly go down the mountain. It is very likely that she has secretly contacted Tianhai. " The disciple said.

Zhong Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was just worrying about not being able to pull Hu Yue's lead, and now he had come knocking. Even the heavens were helping him.

If Hu Yue was really linked to Tianhai, then this rumor might very well have been spread by her. This was a matter that shook the very foundations of Illusory Sea Sect, if she managed to get evidence, she would definitely die.

Since it was today, he did not have the time to contact other people.

Thinking of this, he took out a pen and paper and wrote on it: "What time is tonight?"

"It's time." The disciple replied.

Zhong Zheng laughed coldly when he heard this, his eyes filled with a dark ruthlessness.
