The case of a small black-hearted clinic providing abortions to women was solved. The main culprits, the Zhao brothers, were arrested, and the affairs of Zhaojiacun were completely handed over to the Bureau of Foreign Affairs.

Officer Zeng first led a group of people to escort the main criminals Zhao Boping, Zhao Shule, and others from Zhaojiacun back to the Irregular Bureau for investigation and interrogation.

As for Officer Du, he stayed here with a small group of people to deal with the aftermath.

Pei Anzhu went to the assembly line factory and liberated all the baby girls who died tragically. After making sure that there were no omissions here, he left Zhaojiacun.

She found logistics to help her transport Shu Yunguan's classics.

As for herself, she and Shen Yueran followed the logistics truck back to Shuyunguan.

Shu Yunguan has a room where she lives. Although she hasn't been here for a while, the basic daily necessities are still there. It only needs a little cleaning to accommodate two people.

"Shu Yunguan is in the mountains, and the conditions are simple. It is not as wealthy as the Shen family. I feel sorry for you." Pei Anzhu led Shen Yueran into the room and said.

Shen Yueran shook his head and said:

"No aggrievement, I'm not a person who can't endure hardships as I follow you here and there. What's more, this Shuyun Temple is somewhat of a scenic spot. Some people can't live there even if they want to."

After saying this, she hesitated for a while and then asked cautiously:

"Xiaozhu, aren't you going back to the Feng family in Yuncheng?"

"I just won't go back for the time being." Pei Anzhu explained, "I just got back some of the classics. I want to stay here to take a look and sort out Shu Yunguan's books."

In fact, she didn't need to read those classics. She had already read them all in the vast library of the Mysterious Sect of the Cultivation World.

But there were no sects such as Longhu, Zhengyi, Quanzhen, and Maoshan in that world. She wanted to see if Shu Yunguan's classics could lead to new insights and breakthroughs after learning from the best of others.

If she can learn a thing or two from it, it will be a good thing for her practice.

After hearing Pei Anzhu's explanation, Shen Yueran breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good. I thought you wouldn't go back. The Feng family is a family at the top of the pyramid. All three surnames, four families and five families can only succumb to it. If you don't go back, the Feng family will think that I abducted you. , to deal with the Shen family, then I will cause trouble for the family."

Pei Anzhu smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said:
"No, not to mention that the Feng family will not offend a powerful family just because of a marginalized person like me. Let's just say that the old lady of the Feng family is not a confused person."

"What's more, what they ask of me is that as long as I take the title of eldest mistress, it doesn't matter whether I am in the Feng family or not."

Shen Yueran was immediately relieved and stayed at Shuyunguan peacefully.

Pei Anzhu felt that this was just an opportunity, so he asked:
"I see that you are very interested in metaphysics, and you have traveled to so many places with me and seen different worlds. Have you ever thought about taking this path in the future?"

"Can I?" Shen Yueran was surprised.

"Why not?" Pei Anzhu said with a smile, "Your conditions are very good."

After saying this, she pointed her fingers and listed her advantages to Shen Yueran:

First, although she is a bit older and does not meet the requirements of Xuanmen training since she was a child, she has good understanding and basic skills. She remembers and understands a lot of Xuanmen knowledge that Pei Anzhu said after hearing it once.

Secondly, she comes from a wealthy Shen family, so she doesn't have to worry about making a living. If she really decides to take this path, she can go without any distractions.

Thirdly, she has merit, which has been accumulated by the Shen family for generations to protect future generations. Moreover, her parents and she herself are also people who have accumulated virtue and performed good deeds, which is helpful for spiritual practice.

Fourth, she has a fox fairy, which is her fate with the world of metaphysics. This alone surpasses most ordinary people.

What's more important is that Pei Anzhu will leave this world sooner or later and return to the world of cultivation.But before going back, she has two important tasks to complete:
First, follow the original owner’s last wish and provide care for the old Taoist priest until his death.

Secondly, find the scattered ancient books of Qi Shuyunguan, find a way to revive Xuanmen, and leave a life-saving trump card to this world, so that this world no longer has to be afraid of demons and ghosts.

The first one is easy to complete. She is rich now, and the old Taoist priest is not difficult to deal with. As long as he dies, it will be completed.

The real difficulty is the second one.

The five arts of Xuanmen and fortune-telling by mountain doctors. Now she has only found the classics on "the art of destiny", and she doesn't know where the rest are.

Even if she is lucky enough to find all these things, it will be of no use if she cannot break the curse of the great demon and pass it on to Shu Yunguan.

Therefore, in addition to completing the second item, she had to find a way to lift the curse, and then find a suitable successor for Shu Yunguan.

And Shen Yueran is the most suitable successor that Pei Anzhu has been looking for so far.

Before the curse was lifted, Shen Yueran was not suitable to be an apprentice and could only study with her as an assistant.

But if Shen Yueran is willing to wait until the day when the curse is lifted, let her kowtow to the memorial tablet of Shu Yunguan and seal her name, then that will be it.

Of course, Pei Anzhu didn't say these things. It was impossible for her to reveal to anyone that she was not from this world and would leave one day.

But just the four advantages she mentioned were enough to impress Shen Yueran.

So Shen Yueran nodded heavily:
"Xiaozhu, please teach me. I am willing to learn anything, and I also want to be as good as you. Don't worry, I am not afraid of hardship, and my parents will agree!"

Naturally, her brother has to worry about the family inheritance, and she can do what she likes.

Pei Anzhu looked at Shen Yueran's serious eyes, nodded and said:
"Okay, now that you have decided, I will officially teach you from today on."

"Metaphysics is very complex and has many branches. It might be difficult for you to learn them all, so I thought I would show you some basic introductory books first. If you don't understand, come back and ask me."

"When you have a solid foundation, you can choose one or two subjects that you like or are interested in from the mountain doctor's divination, and I will teach you in detail."

"But before that, you must first know what the five Xuanmen arts represent."

Shen Yueran didn't know anything else, but he wasn't afraid of reading at all.

When she went to college, she chose to major in Chinese language and literature based on her own interests, instead of choosing business management like her brother.

For a person who is proficient in Chinese language and literature, it is easier to read ancient books than others. After all, literary literacy is real.

So, when Pei Anzhu was sorting out Shu Yunguan's classics, he took out the basic books and gave them to Shen Yueran to read by himself.

The two of them lived a life of reading, drinking tea, and wandering around in Shuyunguan, but the comrades in the Yi Tiao Bureau were crazy busy.

There are so many people in Zhaojia Village, and everyone must be interrogated individually to determine whether they are aware of it and whether they are participants in the abortion of female babies based on their involvement with the Zhao brothers.

And Officer Du, he still had to collect the bones of those baby girls who died in vain.

The body parts of those stillborn baby girls had long been stripped out and mixed with other baby girls, making them indistinguishable.

So Officer Du had no choice but to buy a large cemetery and bury all the "raw materials" in it, treating it as a joint tomb for these baby girls.
