Taoist Priest Tongzhen's expression froze, "That's not what I meant, but it's better to be cautious, just in case..."
"Nothing unexpected!" Chen Xiuyuan interrupted him forcefully, "No one in this world who can break my fog formation has been born yet!"
Taoist Master Tongzhen had no choice but to follow his instructions and go to the exit to guard.
This guard was kept from dusk to dawn of the next day. Just before dawn, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the mountains. The wind was not loud, but it was extremely powerful. It was like a sharp blade, breaking through the rocks and trees, cutting people's faces with pain.
Taoist Master Tongzhen turned sideways to avoid the wind. When he turned around, he found that the fog that originally shrouded the top of the mountain had dispersed.
The new sun sets on the top of the mountain, illuminating the mountain vegetation as green as washed by water.
Taoist Master Tongzhen's heart skipped a beat, and his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't even hold a whisk, "Formation, is our formation broken?"
Another white-browed Taoist priest nodded solemnly, "It seems to be really broken."
"Leave one person behind to inform the head of the family. The others will follow me into the mountain to arrest people. They must act quickly and don't let them escape!"
Taoist Master Tongzhen made a quick decision and jumped into the trial field.
It was too late to act at this time, because Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan had already led a group of Taoist priests out of Fan Yue Mountain.
If Fan Yueshan comes down to freedom, it will no longer be the Chen family's territory.
Xiaodao, who was shouting that he wanted to go home and marry a wife, knelt on the ground and cried until his nose burst into tears. If Shen Qingqing hadn't stopped him, he might have smashed his head.
"Finally come out, woo woo, this Taoist friend, I dare to ask where you live. When I go home and report to my mother, I will go to you to repay my kindness. Although I have no talent and cannot learn Taoism, I can only chop wood and pick firewood.
He is particularly good at rough work such as water."
Others also asked about his name, place of origin, where he studied, etc., and planned to visit him afterwards to thank him.
Shen Qingqing refused to answer: "Names are not important. If you really want to thank me, just cheer up and do it. If the Chen family can fall because of this, for me, it is the best thank you gift."
The old white-haired Taoist looked at the bones at his feet, and bowed his hand to her solemnly, "Fellow Taoist, don't worry, now the Chen family is the enemy of all our Taoists. It is our duty to overthrow the Chen family."
"It is our duty to bring down the Chen family!"
All the Taoist priests agreed one after another, their eyes were burning, and they shared the same hatred.
Shen Qingqing was moved in her heart. She bowed to everyone and said in a hearty voice, "Everyone, please say goodbye. One day the clouds and mist will clear and the moon will shine. I'll invite you all to drink at Zuixian Pavilion."
"Fellow Taoist is generous!"
Everyone responded with a smile, finally losing their decadent look in the mountains.
When they returned, Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan did not dare to take the original route. They washed their hands and faces by the stream before wandering along the path towards Qi's house.
It was just dawn, and no one was moving on the street. Everything was quiet. Only a few roosters could be heard from time to time, which frightened the big orange cat into Shen Qingqing's arms.
"Are you afraid of the rooster?" Shen Qingqing smiled and pulled its ears.
The big orange cat meowed a few times and nuzzled into her arms.
The lazy ball next to him almost had his eyes popping out of his head. He said angrily, "You're not good at this. You're too timid. Fortunately, I'm kind-hearted. I'll accompany you to the chicken coop for some exercise later."
The orange cat howled and the fur on his body exploded.
The two fur balls were barking and meowing, and Shen Qingqing didn't understand what they were arguing about, so she just followed them and had fun anyway.
Meng Yuan pinched the back of her hand and asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to carry it?"
"No." Shen Qingqing shook her head, "I feel fine, not particularly tired, just..."
"I'm just hungry." Meng Yuan answered quickly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
It happened that a steamed bun shop had just opened, so Meng Yuan went over and bought several large meat buns.
Shen Qingqing held the hot buns and spoke vaguely: "This buns don't taste good. They're not as delicious as the buns across from our noodle shop."
"Then eat less to fill your stomach. I'll bake you pancakes when you get back."
"Let's just eat something. I'm going to sleep all day and all night after I go back. I'm too sleepy."
Shen Qingqing yawned, so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
In the past, when I stayed up late playing with my mobile phone, I would stay up all night and still be able to continue fighting the next day.
After changing places, my body has also deteriorated. I lose energy after going to bed a little later, which is really annoying.

Shen Qingqing was unable to sleep until the next day, and was woken up in the evening.
Ning Youan was like a loudspeaker, shouting from a distance: "Brother Meng, Master Shen, have you heard? Someone is suing the Chen family!"
Meng Yuan, who was sitting in front of the window making tea, quickly reminded him: "Keep your voice down, someone is sleeping."
"I'm already awake." Shen Qingqing huddled in bed and interjected quietly.
Meng Yuan frowned slightly and turned to ask her: "Are you still sleepy? If so, I'll kick him out."
Without waiting for Shen Qingqing to answer, Ning Youan entered the guest room with ease, "You've been sleeping all day, haven't you had enough sleep? I brought some dishes from Zuixian Tower, do you want to get up and eat some?"
After being reminded by him, Shen Qingqing really felt hungry, "Eat, let your people prepare the food."
Ning Youan immediately ordered people to serve the dishes, and while enthusiastically serving bowls and chopsticks, he asked the two about the Chen family.
"This morning a group of Taoist priests came to the prince's palace to complain. They said that the Chen family's recruitment of people every year was just a pretense. In fact, the real purpose was to kill people and seize cultivation, and wanted the prince to make the decision for them. The matter was quite big, and people in several nearby streets
Everyone knows."
"Didn't you just come back from the Chen family and haven't you heard about this?"
Shen Qingqing gave him a meaningful look, "What do you think?" Not only did she know, she was also the mastermind behind it.
Ning Youan's face froze and he asked in disbelief: "They wouldn't really do such an immoral thing, would they?"
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
"But...but it shouldn't be." Ning Youan sighed, his face wrinkled like a bitter gourd, "They have a lot of great people there. You can make hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver just by taking orders. There is no need to go there.
Are you trying to steal someone else's cultivation?"
Shen Qingqing asked: "The Ning family and Qi family are already rich enough, why do they continue to do business?"
"Who can have too much money?"
Ning Youan blurted out, and only then did he understand the meaning of Shen Qingqing's words, and he suddenly became depressed, "Thankfully, I have always regarded them as role models, dreaming of one day entering the Chen family to learn Taoism, but he did this to me."
The more Ning Youan thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He rolled up his sleeves and cursed: "It's his grandma's fault. I'm going to hire some women on the street to scold them for me. If I don't scold them, I won't be relieved!"
Shen Qingqing's hand holding the chopsticks paused, then she raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes, "Do you have many people you can use? Just those women with particularly bad mouths."
"That's necessary." Ning Youan looked proud, "When that little brat from the Zhang family intercepted a batch of my goods, I hired thirty women to go to the door of the Zhang family to reason with him and scolded him.
