Yu Neizhu was unaware that posting the content online would lead to a joint investigation by the Garrison Commander and Jixia Academy.
She herself was still diligently practicing her cultivation, preparing for the college entrance examination two months later.
After finishing her practice, she picked up her phone and discovered it was on the verge of exploding from a barrage of messages.
"!!!"
"What's going on? Why is the heat so high, and so many people are contacting me?!"
Yu Neizhu was a bit stunned. She had merely posted a story compiled by the馆主 Chen, who suffered from delusional disorder.
Her best friend was still calling repeatedly. She answered, "Hello?"
"Neizhu, you're amazing!"
"What's going on?" Yu Neizhu asked.
Her best friend said, "Aren't you watching the news on TV?"
Yu Neizhu turned on the TV and watched the news. The headline read: Second Generation Garrison Commander's Wife Gong Lianxian's identity confirmed through investigation by the Garrison Commander and Jixia Academy!
Yu Neizhu said, "So what?"
Her best friend replied, "Neizhu, the article you posted mentioned Gong Lianxian and the Garrison Commander..."
"!!!"
Yu Neizhu's mind buzzed, and her heart pounded with fear. "Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
The article mentioned that Gong Lianxian was the niece of the first-generation Garrison Commander, Yan Fengyun.
And now, the news on television...
"Knock, knock, knock!!!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Yu Cong'an went to open it. Standing outside were several martial artists in national security uniforms. "May we ask if you are Mr. Yu Cong'an?"
"Yes."
"We are from the Internal Security Bureau under the Garrison Commander. We need you and your daughter, Yu Neizhu, to accompany us to assist with an investigation."
"Hiss!"
Yu Neizhu gasped, her face completely changed. She was just a high school student.
...
Imperial Capital.
Garrison Commander Headquarters.
Gong Lianxian, this ancestor, was too important, a national treasure.
She was personally guarded by the current Garrison Commander and the current Master of the Academy to ensure her safety.
Time slowly passed. The ancestor slowly awoke. The two instantly sensed it and then approached Gong Lianxian, who had become an old woman, and revealed their identities to her.
Gong Lianxian, now an old woman, had slightly cloudy eyes and a complex expression. "I never thought I would actually survive."
The Master immediately used Confucian arts to empower Gong Lianxian, making her feel much better.
Gong Lianxian said, "My lifespan is not long. Ask whatever you wish to ask."
The Garrison Commander asked, "Ancestor, Huaxia has lost information about the civilization of the previous era. We wish to learn about it from you."
"You can tell us from beginning to end, as if you were writing your own biography."
"Biography?" Gong Lianxian's cloudy eyes fell into memory. After a long while, she slowly said, "I am the daughter of King Gong of the Age of Dharma Decline. That was..."
...
Yu Neizhu and Yu Cong'an were put into a car, escorted by police cars, and then taken to the heavily guarded Internal Security Bureau.
There was a monitoring device in an investigation and interrogation room.
"Ms. Yu Neizhu, regarding the post you published this morning, where did you obtain it?" a Taoist from the Internal Security Bureau, dressed in a Taoist robe, asked.
Yu Neizhu looked a bit nervous and answered truthfully, "I got it from my martial arts instructor."
"Oh?"
"Where did your martial arts instructor get it?"
"He told me himself. I thought he had a delusional disorder, so I asked my dad to go see him, and then the instructor told me himself."
The Internal Security Bureau Taoist took out a tablet and asked, "What is your martial arts instructor's name?"
"Chen Jiuyang."
The Internal Security Bureau Taoist entered the name Chen Jiuyang into the tablet and immediately frowned. "Chen Jiuyang, age thirty, native of Qingzhu City, ID card is..."
"Something's not right..."
The record of this person's information was from three months ago. Before that, there was no information, as if he had appeared out of thin air.
He took a deep breath and looked at Yu Neizhu and Yu Cong'an. "Please tell us about this Chen Jiuyang."
Several hours later, the Taoist emerged from the interrogation room with a changing expression. "How is it?"
"Captain, there's no additional information. It's as if he appeared out of nowhere three months ago."
"It seems this matter is not as simple as we thought. Report the information. How to proceed is the Garrison Commander's business."
...
Chen Jiuyang sat in front of his martial arts hall, gazing at the stars in the night sky with a calm expression.
He felt the flow of spiritual energy within the Qingzhu Spiritual Domain.
His gaze was calm, and he smiled, "As expected, a small portion of people in Qingzhu City are descendants of the Forty-Eight Hou and Tian Nan."
"And these people have also noticed the differences, which is why they still live in this old city."
"This is also good. When the Human King Sword revives, I will return to Canlao Village and bring them back."
"This era is much more peaceful than before."
This kind of peaceful daily life was something he had longed for a long time ago.
In the past, he had no power and was entangled by karma.
Now, his power was sufficient, and no one could interfere with what he pursued.
With his thoughts clear, Chen Jiuyang changed his posture and continued to cultivate.
...
Imperial Capital.
Garrison Commander Headquarters.
The current Master was using Confucian arts to record every word of the ancestor and commit it to record.
A faint green light emerged from his mouth and could be imprinted on paper.
The current Master sat respectfully to the side.
"Garrison Commander..." A subordinate handed over information from Qingzhu City.
After reading the relevant information, the current Garrison Commander's eyes showed a look of surprise and uncertainty. He glanced at the ancestor who was speaking.
"This post on the internet actually matches some of the ancestor's descriptions..."
"Could it be that this Chen Jiuyang is truly a person from the ancestor's era?"
"Absurd..."
"How is that possible? The ancestor is barely clinging to life, yet Chen Jiuyang still looks like a young man."
"But if it were true... setting aside the possibility of danger, this Chen Jiuyang might truly be an old acquaintance of the ancestor. Even if it's not Chen Jiuyang himself..."
"If the ancestor truly knew Chen Jiuyang, then with these two sources of information, Huaxia's lost information from the previous era could be completed and mutually verified."
The current Garrison Commander took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, walked towards the spiritual spring in the main hall, and sat on the meditation cushion. He glanced at the already thick stack of documents and asked respectfully:
"Ancestor, do you know someone named Chen Jiuyang?"
"Chen... Jiuyang..." Gong Lianxian's cloudy eyes suddenly froze. After a moment, she smiled and said,
"Of course, I do."
The current Garrison Commander and the Master were stunned. Such a person truly existed!
Immediately after, Gong Lianxian's gaze fell into memory, and she said,
"He was the top prodigy of our era..."
"He also had a close relationship with the Garrison Commander, my husband, my father, my uncle, and others."
