"Huh?" Wang Xiong was not expecting Lin Wu to say something like this and was a bit confused.
"You will help us, Senior?" Wang Xiong asked for clarity.
"Mmmhmm, this problem of yours with that mine… it's been there for a long time, right?" Lin Wu replied.
"Of course! It's been a thorn in our foot that we have been unable to remove. We never through a single Nascent soul realm beast would be that problematic." Wang Xiong said.
"Then I'll get rid of it. That should allow you to focus on other things… after all, if you are being bothered by this, you are spending less time on things that matter." Lin Wu stated.
"But won't that… be beneath you? I can't bring myself to pester you about my own problems." Wang Xiong replied.
"It's nothing for me. Besides, I have some other tasks I need to do around there as well, so I may as well complete this." Lin Wu explained.
Hearing this, both Wang Xiong and Ye Jin's faces lit up.
"Thank you senior!" Both Wang Xiong and Ye Jing said out loud.
"Just give me the necessary information and I'll go there once I'm done here." Lin Wu stated.
"YES! I have the ready with me already!" Wang Xiong hurriedly said.
Since he had been trying to deal with the problem for a long time, he carried all the records and documents with him. Lin Wu though, didn't need them in reality and was just doing this to get whatever information he was missing in the system.
'Scan them all system.' Lin Wu ordered.

Lin Wu saw a few notifications in front of him and also saw the new information that was added. It even included a rough sketch of what the beast that was causing trouble looked like.
Lin Wu furrowed his brows after seeing it.
'This… seems a bit familiar… have I seen such a beast before?' Lin Wu thought, but it was impossible for him to confirm it since the sketch was truly rough.
The beast in the drawing had four legs and black fur, but its head was drawn like a simple oval and its body looked oddly bulky. Lin Wu also looked over some of the other information, such as the people that lived near the Di Guan mines and who its owner was.
Since it was located somewhat before the Tian clan's branch, Lin Wu got the information about their territory as well. In fact, Xiaoge was originally going to be part of the investigation team, but then she never returned from the millennium forest.
Thus Wang Xiong ended up assigning others for it. Since the beast was a Nascent soul realm beast, he needed to put other Nascent soul realm cultivators to deal with it. But even then he could not use too many people as the number of Nascent soul realm subordinates under him was ultimately limited.
Excluding Pei Jun and Ye Jin, Wang Xiong had eleven Nascent soul realm subordinates under him. This was a sizable number of cultivators and would be considered being a rather strong power if they went out to the secular world.
After all, there were plenty of small sects that were made by Nascent soul realm cultivators. So technically, each of them could make their own sect. But now all of them were under Wang Xiong, and that too willingly.
But this didn't fully represent the Frozen Brook division's power. There were many other people in it, but not all of them were under Wang Xiong. Currently, the Frozen Brook division, and the Frozen Cliff division both had nearly the same level of power.
While the Frozen Plain division was the smallest of the two and was barely ten percent of the entire sect's people. Still, it had some influential and powerful elders in it thus couldn't be disregarded either.
Lin Wu got to learn everything and was soon ready.
"Will you be leaving right away, senior?" Wang Xiong questioned.
"No… first I have to meet someone else." Lin Wu answered.
"Someone else? Who?" Wang Xiong asked, wondering who it could be since there weren't many acquaintances that Lin Wu could have.
"A certain man in a white fox mask." Lin Wu replied, stunning Wang Xiong.
"Him?!" Wang Xiong said out loud.
Ye Jin on the other hand, was confused as to whom the two of them were talking about, but was able to guess some things.
"Is it someone from our sect?" Ye Jin questioned.
"Indeed. I do not know his name, but I've seen him." Lin Wu answered.
Hearing this, Wang Xiong was even more confused. He hesitated a bit, but then decided to speak.
"Where did you meet Guardian Yun, Senior?" Wang Xiong asked.
"Oh? So his name is Guardian Yun, huh…" Lin Mu muttered.
Ye Jin also wondered who this person they talked about was. She had not heard of anyone in the Frozen Cloud sect with that name or title before.
"As for your question, I saw the 'man' in the millennium forest. He chose to help out the beasts in fighting off an invasion of beasts." Lin Wu answered.
"A beast invasion?" Wang Xiong furrowed his brows, and an idea popped up in his mind.
"Was it perhaps the Southern Tusk Tapirs?" Ye Jin ended up the first one to guess it instead.
"Indeed, child. It was the Southern Tusk tapirs… along with the Silver Tusk Tapir King as their leader." Lin Wu confirmed.
Hearing this, Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes even more.
"We did get some reports about a large herd of those beasts leaving the Southern Reach Jungle, but our people did not go close due to a Dao Shell realm breast being detected. We thought they had turned to the south, though… how did the sect miss this?" Wang Xiong wondered.
"What? The Frozen Cloud sect did not know about it? How is that possible when the beasts would have to pass around your territory?" Lin Wu questioned, feeling confused as well.
