The big curly bearded man said, "The Four Great Guardians should not hesitate anymore. The life and death of the Mojiao Sect are our utmost importance."
Just as before, the four of them still couldn't make up their minds. If this matter were put on someone else's shoulder, the safety of the Mojiao Sect would be the most important thing. However, the Leader was born to rebel and always thought differently than others. Perhaps in his heart, Madam was the most important. After all, Leader had risked his life to find an antidote for Madam.
Before the Four Great Guardians could even speak, Murong Yunshu lightly said, "You don't have to worry about the problem of travelling expenses, just follow me upstairs and get them." After she said that, she got up and headed upstairs.
The four were all puzzled. When did they ever be bothered with travel expenses? Although Mojiao Sect wasn't as wealthy as Murong Mansion, they had no shortage of money for travelling expenses. Besides, if they had no money, they could still 'rob the rich and give to the poor'. [T/N]
Seeing no response from the four of them, Lu-er quickly winked and urged, "Go up quickly. Do you want Miss to come down to send you up personally?"
The four men immediately got the message, as East Guardian said to the big curly bearded man, "You wait here for a moment. We'll be back in a few minutes." Once he had done saying that, they followed Murong Yunshu by went upstairs.
After all four had entered the room, Murong Yunshu motioned for North Guardian to close the door. "There is a problem with the person below," she said while looking for something inside her bundle.
The four were shocked. "What kind of problem?"
Murong Yunshu didn't answer them immediately but instead took another long time digging into her bundle before picking up the found item with her hand. When she turned back to face them, she explained, "When he heard that Chu Changge had gone to the Mountain of Doom, the corners of his mouth quickly rose a bit before he made a pained expression. And when he said, 'How can he returned once he went up the Mountain of Doom', the corners of his mouth rose again, which meant that he was happy that Chu Changge was missing."
Hearing these words, the four men were shocked and angry. North Guardian shook his fist and said, "I knew that the Left and Right Emissaries would not have rebelled!"
Murong Yunshu did not say anything. She did not know about the internal affairs of the Mojiao Sect, so she had no right to speak about it. She could only say that the big man below was not a desperate and loyal protector of the Master, and he extremely hated the Left and Right Emissaries. She could tell because when he mentioned that the Left and Right Emissaries were in control of the Mojiao Sect, his expression showed that he wished he could cut them to pieces.
East Guardian asked, "Then what should we do according to Madam's opinion?"
Murong Yunshu said, "Follow him back to Mojiao Sect and act according to the circumstances."
"But the Leader…"
"I'll find him." Murong Yunshu's calm eyes revealed a smile of confidence.
Seeing her like this, the four of them no longer hesitated. When Madam said she would go find the Leader, she would definitely go. "How are we going to meet with you after dealing with the Mojiao Sect?"
This was a reconstructed version of a money shop or qianzhuang.
Rather than a bank, it was like an old version of the money exchange shop. Qianzhuang was first established during the Ming Dynasty to exchange foreign money and local silver money.

"Okay. Take care, Madam."
The four men turned and were about to leave when Murong Yunshu stopped them. "You are going to sort out the sect instead of Chu Changge. Without this, how can you convince the masses?" She smiled and spread out her hand, revealing the piece of yupei in her palm.
East Guardian exclaimed, "The Soul Locker!"
"M-hm." Murong Yunshu added, "It is not only carved from Black Wind Token but also something Chu Changge wears on himself. Only with this will you have a rallying point."
"No way. It was left by the Leader for Madam's body protection, so we cannot take it away."
Murong Yunshu laughed, "Even if you don't want it, it will only lie in my bundle every day. What kind of body protection will it make?"
It seemed...to make sense. East Guardian took the Soul Locker Yupei with hesitation and then led the other three, South, West and North, to leave the inn together with the big curly bearded man.
Five men and five horses galloped on the official road.
East Guardian asked, "Do you guys ever feel that no matter what Madam says, it always makes sense?"
"Even if the words don't make any sense, they're becoming very reasonable coming out from her mouth." South Guardian agreed. [T/N]
West Guardian also nodded his head in agreement, "That's what you called having a skill. In the future, if you want to reason things out, let Madam take charge of it."
"Actually, Madam will only say what we wanted to hear the most, nothing more." North Guardian was quite objective, and the other three returned this kind of objectivity with scornful glances. Hey, even when he was telling the truth, everyone would still despise him. What kind of world was this?
＊
After the Four Great Guardians and the big curly bearded man left, Murong Yunshu instructed Lu-er to go to the money store and wait for the news while she went to the Mountain of Doom.
One of the great advantages of being born in a large family was that one would have a lot of leisure time and could do whatever one wanted. But this was a bit painful for someone like her who had no special interests. Every day, to pass the time, she would always go looking for other things, such as going to the underground warehouse and then counting money or something.
Of course, once in a while, one could stumble upon something new and spend a great deal of time figuring it out, such as mechanisms.
When she was twelve years old, she went to an underground warehouse to spend the summer and counted silver to pass the time. Inadvertently, she touched one of the mechanisms in the warehouse and was imprisoned for a whole day. Since then, she had been studying mechanisms.[+]

It was recorded in that book because Mountain of Doom was a man-made mountain, which itself was a huge mechanism, and only by unlocking the mechanism and entering the interior of the mountain could one find the method of climbing. This was what had been written in the book. She guessed that the person who wrote the book probably didn't know that there was another kind of martial art called qinggong in the world. Even if the writer did know, he must not have known that some people's qinggong had reached great heights to the extent that it had gone up to heaven or down to Hades.
Of course, she didn't know qinggong. That kind of spectacular climbing was where she only saw the other rider's dust and had no hope of catching up. Thus, unlocking the mechanism was her only great way.

Let's enjoy one of the greatest martial artists in qinggong. When he jumped down without even rolling over was awesome, and when he climbed that wall...I'm speechless. It's like parkour, but it isn't. Both have different styles of training.
