Eastern part of the Southern Commonwealth, Aino State.

At this moment, a piece of land in the suburbs that was intended to be used as a private university was allocated by the federation to Xiaoyao and Marne. Now, the college has been surrounded by members of the federation and is undergoing comprehensive reconstruction and renovation.

Ma En is currently supervising the establishment of the "Xiaoyao Sect", watching the members of the abnormal construction company ensure that it looks like a school while also meeting Xiaoyao's various stringent requirements for construction.

The federation has also invested a lot of money this time. Although Xiaoyao himself will contribute a lot to the establishment of the sect here, he can save at least a few months with the federation's preliminary work, and the sect will be better disguised.

.

While Ma En was idly watching the work of the Abnormal Construction Company, a few crisp footsteps suddenly came from behind him, and he noticed that the footsteps did not really come from far away, but more like they appeared suddenly.

He was ten meters behind him, as if he was deliberately warning him in advance.

"Ma En." The voice coming from behind was extremely familiar to him, "I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Ma En turned around and looked at the shadow standing behind him and the two "followers" behind him, the pair of Yin and Yang twins who were sent by the federation to monitor him and Xiaoyao.

At this moment, the eyes of the ghost cultivators looking at Ma En were completely different from the past. He could detect that Wang Yang and Wang Yin were a little reserved when facing him, even a little flinching, and specifically stood behind the shadow.

At first glance, it seems that they are particularly afraid of themselves. Considering what happened in the past, the strength they have shown now, and the federation's misunderstanding of themselves, this behavior is actually quite reasonable.

However, Ma En could notice that they were not particularly afraid of themselves. Their behavioral motivations were closer to resistance. If they were really afraid, they were also afraid of the divine sky "behind" them.

Only Shadow's expression remained the same as before, as if Marn and the Federation had never had any conflicts.

He quipped with curiosity:

"I actually didn't expect that you would actually help him. Did you quietly reach some secret deal in private? I heard that several of his disciples seemed to have died at your hands."

However, Shadow did not really wait for Ma En's answer, and then immediately turned to say:

"And I didn't expect you to show up so soon. Have you dealt with that guy?"

Ma En shook his head slightly and took the initiative to answer the first question that Shadow had no intention of asking:

"I haven't dealt with him yet, but for me, this guy is nothing to worry about. And you are right, Xiaoyao and I do have some small exchanges of interests, and there is no need for me to delay our plans for that guy."

Shadow smiled, and then said what he really wanted to ask:

"Really? I thought you had already dealt with him. After all, didn't you already go to see Shen Xiao?"

Looking at the faint smile on his face, Ma En knew that this was the purpose of the Federation sending Shadow. After they signed a new contract, the Federation actually had no objection to him.

But after they learned that Ma En had gone to see Shen Xiao, a heated discussion about Ma En once again arose within the federation, with many senior members expressing strong doubts and concerns.

Although Ma En has signed a contract that prevents him from helping Shen Xiao, it stands to reason that there would be no problem for Ma En to see Shen Xiao under such circumstances, but when it comes to her, many politicians in the Federation cannot think rationally.

Even someone like Shadow, who was not particularly worried, felt that he should come and see Ma En.

"You still have to ask me?" Ma En directly admitted the reason why he went to see Shen Xiao, "Shen Xiao's power has been suppressed by you to the extent that it can barely suppress the Hai clan, and she can't help me at all.

"

Shadow squinted at Ma En, and this time he directly used his psychic ability to sense Ma En. Now he didn't have to abide by any armistice agreement at all, and could use his abilities to test Ma En in a subtle way.

Although he only quietly sensed it for a short moment, he was already sure that Ma En did not have a guilty conscience. It didn't seem like he really used Shenxiao to do anything, but he didn't necessarily get any help.

Maybe at this time he would join forces with Xiaoyao and come here to establish a sect because of Shenxiao's instructions.

After getting the answer, Shadow showed a sincere and gentle smile:

"That's true, but you have to have such strict control when dealing with Shen Xiao, otherwise she may get a chance, and those of us who imprisoned her will have to finish it off. We must be careful."

He was actually explaining why he came to see Ma En and test him.

Ma En also showed a cooperative expression of understanding:

"Indeed, I'm just waiting for you to make mistakes."

Shadow smiled:

"But unfortunately, we will never relax when facing a guy like Shen Xiao. Well, since your purpose of going to see Shen Xiao is really to seek help, I can explain it to those politicians.

"Wang Yang and Wang Yin will communicate with you about Xiaoyao. If you have any questions, just tell them directly. Of course, if you don't mind, you can come to me at any time. Our friendship is still there."

Ma En naturally didn't believe his words at all, but he still nodded hypocritically and said to Shadow:

"Of course, I won't be polite if anything happens."

After being polite, Shadow took a few steps back, let the Yin and Yang twins out, and then said:

"I will go back and recover first. In fact, if you have anything to do, you can tell me through Wang Yang. Now he can be regarded as my deputy in the investigation department. What you say to him is equivalent to directly entering my ears."

After a few more polite words at the end, the shadow disappeared in front of him.

At this time, the Yin and Yang twins had to stand up and face Ma En. After Wang Yang noticed that his sister still seemed a little afraid to come forward, he took the initiative to take two steps forward, and then greeted politely.

:

"Your Excellency Ma En, my sister and I will be responsible for this matter in the coming period."

The boy's expression was particularly polite. In fact, Ma En had discovered very early that Wang Yang was better at hiding his resentment among them, and Wang Yin often revealed that resentment in his words and deeds.

Ma En nodded slightly to him and said:

"But it will still take some time before this place is built, so there is no need to be in a hurry."

Wang Yang also raised his head and followed Ma En's line of sight to the construction site in the distance:

"That's right, but the Federation hopes that some of the members they send can practice in advance. After all, if our members can master knowledge early, it will also make the new members who join us more convinced.

"As far as I know, Xiaoyao plans to personally select the first disciples of the sect, and will also select many ordinary people without any abnormal abilities to practice. It is not easy to convince them that this is feasible.

"But if they see that some people are already following Xiaoyao practice, it should be able to dispel their worries and hesitations. After all, humans are always easily persuaded by other people's behavior."

Ma En knew that the purpose of Wang Yang's words was just to allow the Federation to arrange for their people to come in as soon as possible, and their motive was definitely not to help Xiaoyao, but to take advantage of it.

However, Ma En did not intend to expose or reject them, because in fact, these little thoughts were nothing to him or Xiaoyao, and the Federation did not understand Xiaoyao's true plan at all.

"That's not a problem." Ma En replied, "But I have to talk to my junior sister in detail about this."

As a newly established sect, Guan Yi naturally assumed the role of the backbone of the sect, handling some chores, and would also be truly responsible for teaching the junior disciples during Xiaoyao retreat.

As a monk who has perfected the golden elixir, she is more than capable of teaching disciples. Although she has inherited the understanding of Du Jin and others that she would not be bad if she really wants to teach disciples, it is difficult to compare with her in many details.

Moreover, when Xiaoyao made a deal with him, he definitely didn't want him to be a teacher for those sect disciples. What Xiaoyao wanted was for him to solve all kinds of troublesome and difficult problems for him.

Wang Yang showed a happy expression after hearing this answer:

"Okay, then please make arrangements."

Ma En did not waste any time and directly sent a message to Guan Yi using magic. After a while, the junior sister who was staying here also landed in front of them with a flying sword and looked up at Ma En:

"Senior brother, are you looking for me?"

Man said:

"This fellow Taoist Wang Yang has something to tell you."

Wang Yang also immediately stepped forward and chatted with Guan Yi about the arrangements arranged by his disciples. However, before saying a few words, Guan Yi turned around and looked at Ma En, and then said:

"Senior brother, Master said that he would also arrange some disciples for you. Do you have any ideas?"

Mahn replied:

"Just deal with it."

Guan Yi nodded, and then continued to focus on discussing the specific arrangements for this matter with Wang Yang.

Seeing this, Wang Yin glanced at Ma En at a loss, but didn't know what to say. Whether it was in Dongxinzhou or the Southern Federation, they didn't get along well.

But she didn't expect Ma En to speak first and break the silence:

"I had a few chats with Master a few days ago, and he also mentioned you and Wang Yang."

The girl showed a surprised look:

"Mentioned us?"

Ma En nodded:

"He seems to have some understanding of how you turned you into such a guy. Do you remember what happened to him?"

This sentence made Wang Yin instinctively show some resistance. She turned her head and looked at Wang Yang, who was still discussing cooperation matters with Guan Yi, and then looked at Ma En again:

"What do you know?"

Ma En did not answer her question directly, but instead asked:

"Do you still remember what happened during your lifetime?"

The girl lowered her head slightly, thought for a few seconds and said:

"No, our memory of the past is not clear. We only gradually regained such a clear will after meeting Shenxiao. We were in chaos for a long time."

Ma En asked curiously:

"Do you remember how long ago it was when you died?"
