Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 644 - 642: Identity Impersonation?

Tang Qingqing needed Mo Lin's wholehearted help to compete for the position of the Third Daoist Lord.

Seeing Mo Lin still hesitating, Tang Qingqing spoke to him again.

"Don't worry, Yun Xue'xue won't die so easily. As long as you help me seize the position of the Third Daoist Lord, I'll tell you everything about Yun Xue'xue.

By then, I can also help you."

"Alright." Mo Lin nodded, agreeing.

As for forcing Tang Qingqing to talk, it wasn't necessary.

If he really did that, it would only cause Tang Qingqing's dislike.

In such matters, Tang Qingqing had no reason to deceive him.

After arriving in the South District, Mo Lin followed Tang Qingqing to Jingming Daoism.

Jingming Daoism, located at the easternmost part of the South District, covered at least several tens of thousands of square meters.

It was much larger than the Great Spirit Mountain.

Near Jingming Daoism, there were streets and residential buildings.

A peaceful scene was at hand.

Mo Lin followed behind Tang Qingqing, entering Jingming Daoism through the south gate.

There were a few people taking turns guarding the south gate.

Walking into Jingming Daoism, the people here wore expressions of ease on their faces.

In the distance, there were people playing and frolicking.

Compared to the hellish state of the East District, this was a stark contrast.

Mo Lin knew the environment in the South District was good.

But he hadn't expected it to be this good.

He once thought there were many places like the East District, all in a state of ruin.

Tang Qingqing, holding an oil-paper umbrella, stepped forward.

At the moment of her appearance, everyone's eyes in attendance focused on her.

Meanwhile, Mo Lin also felt the burning gazes of the surrounding crowd.

Tang Qingqing walked ahead, stepping on air.

Almost everyone passing by couldn't help but turn their heads, their gaze following her.

A one hundred percent turnaround rate.

Like some big celebrity.

The looks directed at Tang Qingqing from the crowd were complex — admiration, respect, and awe.

Tang Qingqing seemed accustomed to being the center of attention, with no trace of emotional fluctuation on her face.

This feeling was strange... Mo Lin felt he had experienced something similar before.

Suddenly... a light bulb went off in Mo Lin's head.

The gazes from these people were those of admiration for the strong.

Tang Qingqing undoubtedly held an extraordinary status in Jingming Daoism.

"She's back... in less than a year, Senior Sister Tang is back."

"Could Senior Sister Tang have found a disciple?"

"Oh my heavens... Could she have already groomed a disciple who can pass through the Celestial Gate?"

"Could it be this person? In less than a year, how could she nurture a disciple who can pass through the Celestial Gate?"

"Even for a prodigy, it's impossible to learn Jingming Exorcism Swordsmanship in under a year."

With Tang Qingqing's appearance, Mo Lin became the subject of everyone's discussion.

Everyone knew about Tang Qingqing's matter.

For Tang Qingqing to compete for the Daoist Master's position, she must groom a direct disciple to pass through the Celestial Gate.

Nurturing a disciple who can pass through the Celestial Gate in under a year is somewhat astonishing.

"Tang Qingqing, leading disciple Mo Lin, here to report," Tang Qingqing said coldly to the distance.

A black figure emerged from the crowd.

This was a middle-aged man with stubble, about 1.8 meters tall, exuding a spirited aura.

This was a Manager, named Outskirts.

"Ah..."

Outskirts sighed at Tang Qingqing, then said: "You came back late."

"What do you mean?" Tang Qingqing had a vague premonition.

"Your senior brother has been exceptionally chosen as the Third Daoist Lord."

Outskirts slowly said: "If you had returned a few months earlier, you might have had a chance to compete for the position of the Third Daoist Lord."

"What?"

Tang Qingqing instinctively clenched her fists, her face full of disbelief.

"How could he be exceptionally chosen as the Third Daoist Lord?"

If her senior brother was chosen as the Third Daoist Lord, wouldn't Tang Qingqing have nothing?

All the efforts she made over the years would be wasted.

All efforts gone to waste.

For a moment, Tang Qingqing found it hard to accept.

This kind of thing simply wasn't in accordance with the rules.

Mo Lin also felt a bit disappointed in his heart.

With Tang Qingqing's Third Daoist Lord position taken, wouldn't his cooperation with Tang Qingqing be void?

Tang Qingqing promised to let him master the Jingming Exorcism Swordsmanship within a month, which no longer counted.

"I know you're disappointed." Outskirts prepared to comfort Tang Qingqing.

"I don't need your comfort."

Tang Qingqing frowned and questioned Outskirts: "You only need to tell me, on what grounds can what belongs to me be taken by that man?"

"This simply isn't in accordance with the rules."

Tang Qingqing spoke coldly, word by word: "I hope you give me a reasonable explanation."

She wanted to become the Third Daoist Lord, it was her master's lifelong wish.

Her master used his own life to help her earn this chance, just to be taken by others?

How could Tang Qingqing accept this?

"Your senior brother found the Elder's legacy disciple."

Outskirts said helplessly: "Jingming Daoism values tradition. You're well aware of how important the Elder's legacy disciple is to our Jingming Daoism."

Finding the legacy of Jingming Daoism can help Jingming Daoism flourish and prosper.

Moreover, Jingming Daoism is not as harmonious as it seems.

There are also many interest conflicts within.

"Elder? True Monarch Xu's legacy disciple?" Tang Qingqing asked again, somewhat unsure.

Outskirts nodded, "Yes."

Tang Qingqing's face completely darkened. She had already heard that Elder Xu's legacy disciple had appeared.

She just hadn't expected it to be found by her senior brother.

"True Monarch Xu's legacy?" Mo Lin was stunned.

Isn't True Monarch Xu's legacy with him?

Who the hell is impersonating him?

Such a silly move.

Isn't this setting up Mo Lin?

Tang Qingqing, disappointed, lowered her head.

"Alright, I get it."

After confirming this matter, she seemed like an eggplant affected by frost, withered.

Her face instantly appeared haggard.

"You can leave, don't involve yourself in your friend Yun Xue'xue's affairs either.

Without my help, it won't be useful for you to go," Tang Qingqing slowly said to Mo Lin.

It's not that she wouldn't tell Mo Lin about Yun Xue'xue's affairs.

Yun Xue'xue will inevitably have a fierce battle to compete for the position of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy.

Mo Lin hasn't completely mastered the Jingming Exorcism Swordsmanship yet, how could he help?

Her not telling Mo Lin about Yun Xue'xue's matters was solely out of good intentions.

Mo Lin absolutely couldn't just leave.

If he left like that, not only would he not learn the Jingming Exorcism Swordsmanship, but he also wouldn't be able to help Yun Xue'xue.

"I am the Celestial Monarch Xu's successor, who is impersonating me?" Mo Lin stepped forward and slowly said.

These words weren't loud.

But both Outskirts and Tang Qingqing heard them clearly.

Tang Qingqing's eyes widened suddenly, with an expression of sudden realization.

"Right... Mo Lin is indeed the Elder's successor; the person my senior brother found must be an imposter," Tang Qingqing said firmly.

She cast an approving look at Mo Lin.

This Mo Lin was truly silly... pretending to be the Elder's successor.

Of course... it was also a good thing, as no one had ever seen the Elder's successor.

As long as they found a way to gain the Third Daoist Lord's position, then waited for an opportunity to send Mo Lin away.

Once the rice had been cooked, even if it was discovered that Mo Lin was not the Elder's successor, those seventh-generation disciples wouldn't do anything to her.

At most, they would just blame her a few times.
