On top of the tall building, Bingtang let out a long sigh.

Spreading the surveillance Ice Crystals carried by the sect disciples across all of East China, even extending her abilities to Southern China, was still somewhat exhausting for her.

Although she had broken through to the Full Bloom Level and was even at the Nine Revolutions Perfection level now, there was still some way to go before reaching the final Peak Great Perfection.

She had always hoped to complete this missing piece of the Great Perfection during the period of the New Seedlings.

Unfortunately, there was no time for that.

Ten days had passed since Jiang Si disappeared in the Heart Image Remains, and during these days, while searching for Jiang Si, the news of Jiang Si’s disappearance spread widely.

Even ordinary people knew about it now, and even elderly employees residing in remote areas would mention, "Hey, do you know about Jiang Si? What is Jiang Si?"

"Can’t hear?"

"What is Jiang Si?"

Yet nowhere could they find news about it.

The method to enter the Mirror Country was needed, hoping Twin could succeed...

"Sister Bingtang."

A shout pulled her back from her thoughts.

Sitting on the edge of the building, she pressed down her wind-blown hair and glanced back, "Oh, Bai Mei, how did it go?"

"We’ve already found the TV station spreading the news."

Bai Mei said softly, "It’s controlled by the Witch Association. The witch who declared war in the name of the Cyan Cloud Sect has also been caught."

"Who is so bold?"

"Called Xilan."

Bingtang was slightly stunned and then seemed a bit helpless, "It’s her."

"Yes, she was the follower beside the Sect Leader after he infiltrated the Witch Association." Bai Mei’s face carried a hint of intent to kill, "I intended to kill her."

Then she took out her phone and played a recording.

The captured Xilan was unafraid, just loudly shouting, "Who dares to kill me! Who dares to kill me! I am Lord Si Motu’s favorite! Whoever dares to kill me, Lord Si Motu will not spare you all..."

A nearby Magical Girl smashed her on the head with a staff, knocking Xilan out cold.

"But she kept saying she was the master’s confidant."

Bingtang shook her head, "Noisy fellow."

"Indeed." Bai Mei added, "Even though Master always disliked rowdy people like this."

Yet she was kept by his side, perhaps she was indeed useful to him.

"So I wanted to ask you if we should kill her."

"No need, find a place to lock her up, wait for the Sect Leader to return and decide then."

"Alright."

While Bai Mei raised a finger and sent a message word by word, she also asked, "Has Keke been notified over there? It’s not good to delay any longer, right?"

"She has been informed." Bingtang rubbed her temples as if a bit helpless, "I originally intended to say he was temporarily missing, couldn’t be found, but..."

But she couldn’t control her emotions.

Especially seeing Keke in tears, saying she had no family.

Even comforting lies couldn’t come out of Bingtang’s mouth.

Bai Mei also sat down next to Bingtang, looking at the ant-like figures below, the flashing traffic lights, and the huge billboards.

From the cold and exceedingly lonely heights overlooking everything.

"You’ve worked hard recently, Sister Bingtang."

"There’s nothing hard about it." Bingtang said nonchalantly, "Just like I said before, there will be no change in how we deal with the Disaster Strategy Bureau. Since the Witch Association staged such a play, misunderstandings are inevitable. If conflict arises, ensure everyone avoids it as much as possible. The Sect Leader isn’t here, and we can’t worsen the relationship with the Disaster Strategy Bureau."

"Yes, I understand. I also told Qian Jing and others to talk to them over at Jiangming City’s Disaster Strategy Bureau, since they’re grateful for the master’s help, they’re also helping clarify."

"As for other places’ Disaster Strategy Bureaus..." Bai Mei paused, "I was originally planning to let Cyan Simurgh explain, and that would be enough."

Bingtang looked at the chief disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect, noticing a hint of worry between her brows, "Hmm?"

"But the newly joined Magical Girl Xing Xuan was originally from the Disaster Strategy Bureau." Bai Mei rubbed her own eyebrow.

"Upon hearing about the incident, she volunteered with fervor, claiming she must thwart the Spirit Hall’s conspiracy and rescue Shrek Academy, insisting on securing a major supporting role."

"Did you agree to her?"

"She clung to my leg while kneeling, claiming she wanted to be my True Inheritance disciple..." Bai Mei was a bit gratified, "I saw her excitedly shouting things like ’this is the plot point of encircling and killing Bai Ritian and his wife,’ ’I’m actually in the prequel story,’ and ’I must stop the Spirit Hall and prevent Bai San’s birth,’ flying off."

"So I sent Cyan Simurgh with her as well."

"Keep pressing the Witch Association’s side hard." Bingtang gently swung her pretty little leather shoes, kicking off dust and debris from the high building.

Bai Mei tilted her head, "Why? Didn’t we say the master isn’t here..."

"We can’t let them know the Sect Leader isn’t here," Bingtang said calmly, "Previously, the Cyan Cloud Sect’s stance towards the Witch Association was one of no retreat; it’s the same now. Otherwise, the fact that there was clearly Zi Yuan’s magic power appearing and yet Zi Yuan didn’t emerge might make them suspicious. The search for Jiang Si’s news must be assertive without showing weakness."

"Yes." Bai Mei asked again, "But even if we continue like this, it can’t be hidden for long..."

"I know," Bingtang said softly, "Si Ye and Liu Ye, these past times have worn them out, blocking countless Full Bloom Level investigations and predictions. However, for the others, I’ve long been prepared for when it’s really necessary —"

"— The identities of the Outer Disciples are basically hidden. Once the records are destroyed here, they can sever ties with the Cyan Cloud Sect. As for the Inner Sect Disciples, they’re arranged in groups of four and can transition to local Disaster Strategy Bureau at any time. The local Disaster Strategy Bureau has long received political donations from the Ice Era Group, allowing them to take in Magical Girls without inspection from the Main Bureau. As for you True Inheritance disciples, if you want to leave, I’ve also arranged in advance for you..."
