Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Great Hall.
"I thought it was someone else, turns out it’s you, old geezer!"
Jiang Fan looked at the visitors, focusing on a leader dressed in silver armor, clutching a long knife, and rolled his eyes.
"By the way, where did you steal that outfit from?"
The old man was skinny as a stick, with a white beard, wearing the uniform of a Director of the Qintian Bureau, exuding an official demeanor.
If it weren’t for the Sky Observation Treasure hanging on his chest, which Jiang Fan was all too familiar with.
Jiang Fan almost didn’t recognize that this was actually the Six-Path Masters!
"How dare you talk to the director like that?!"
The old eyes of the Six-Path Masters widened, commanding authority without anger: "I am the new director of the Qintian Bureau, Six Paths!"
"Routine inspection of all sects, checking defenses."
"Vice Pavilion Master Jiang, please cooperate with the work of this director."
Jiang Fan’s eyes almost popped out.
No way, wasn’t Six-Path Masters wanted by the Qintian Bureau, with Bai Xin hunting him down?
How did he manage to become a director of the Qintian Bureau?
He looked incredulous and said, "Old man, are you sure you’re not pulling my leg?"
Six-Path Masters snorted, "Impudence! Disrespect the director again, and you’ll face severe punishment!"
Jiang Fan found it both amusing and vexing.
This old guy, putting on airs?
He slapped the armrest, and the next moment, teleported in front of the old man, throwing a punch.
With his punch, ten zhang golden Divine Images, Imperial Human Images, and Earth Elephants emerged simultaneously.
Although Six-Path Masters had also successfully broken through to the Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul, in terms of physique, he was no match for Jiang Fan.
He was immediately sent stumbling back, falling on his butt, cracking the ground like a spider web.
"Ouch!" Six-Path Masters winced in pain, cursing, "You brat, hitting an old man so hard?"
Jiang Fan chuckled, "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
Six-Path Masters got up, rubbing his backside, and signaled to the group of Sky Watchers, "Everyone, out."
Once the hall was empty.
Six-Path Masters gave Jiang Fan a hard look, "Not seen for a while, and your cultivation has improved again!"
"You, kid, are a freak!"
Jiang Fan paid him no mind, examining his Qintian Bureau uniform, and asked:
"How many fake drinks did the Great Wine Sacrifice consume, to let a demon take up the role of a director in the Qintian Bureau?"
Six-Path Masters puffed out his chest, patting his chest armor, full of pride:
"Are you envious or not!"
"Hehehe, even I didn’t expect it, the Great Wine Sacrifice would let me atone for my sins, allowing me to remain in the Qintian Bureau as a director."
"He’s truly a good man."
Oh?
Jiang Fan pondered.
The Great Wine Sacrifice’s deeds must have deeper considerations.
No way he would give an opportunity to someone with a terrible reputation to become a director for no reason.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
His eyes flashed with keen insight, and he said, "Bai Xin... is she your daughter?"
Upon hearing this.
Six-Path Masters took off the Sky Observation Treasure from his neck and pulled out the Ancient Heart Mirror from his pocket.
Then handed both to Jiang Fan, his old face overflowing with joy:
"They’re no longer needed."
"Giving them to you!"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment.
Soon he understood.
The only purpose of Six-Path Masters seeking the Sky Observation Treasure and the Ancient Heart Mirror at any cost.
Was to find his lost daughter among the vast population.
If they’re no longer needed, it means the daughter has been found.
