Chapter 480 Does He Have a Problem?
Before Simone went to the mountains to film, she first visited Cloudmist Observatory with Bailey. Cloudmist Observatory was crowded with people burning incense and seeking divination.
As Simone entered the temple, she immediately sensed a strong atmosphere of faith.
The visitors who came to burn incense and seek divination at Cloudmist Observatory seemed to have great faith in its power,
There were also many wealthy people waiting in line, hoping for the disciples of Cloudmist Observatory to help them with physiognomy.
Some even wanted to see Master Sage, but they were all turned away.
Simone and Bailey arrived, and the eldest disciple of Master Sage immediately recognized them.
Approaching with a smile, he greeted them, ‘Greetings, Bailey and Simone!”
Bailey glanced at him lightly and remained silent.
Simone smiled slightly and replied, “Hello”
“We would like to see Master Sage. Is it convenient now?
The eldest disciple smiled and said, “If it were someone else, it would definitely not be convenient, but with you two, it is definitely convenient
He then gestured and announced, “Please follow me!”
Simone and Bailey followed him all the way, even climbing a hill.
They reached the highest level of the spiritual space on the mountaintop.
There was only one room on this level.
Simone noticed that the air quality here was excellent, and the aura of faith from the temple below lingered in the surroundings.
The eldest disciple knocked on the door. “Master, Bailey and Simone have arrived.”
As soon as Simone and Bailey entered the observatory, Sage knew about it.
Soon, the door opened, and Sage took the initiative to stand at the door.
He greeted Bailey, “Greetings, Old Master.”
Bailey said. Let’s talk inside.”
Sage nodded respectfully. “Yes!” His eldest disciple did not follow them inside.
After they sat down, Sage smiled at Simone and asked, “Can you make tea?”

Simone replied, “Yes.”
She took the tools from him and started making tea.
Sage engaged in casual conversation with Bailey for a while..
Bailey asked, “What do you think about the situation with Magnus?” Sage was momentarily stunned, then sighed. “I have been trying to persuade the father and son. But for the sake of longevity, they have gone down a dead-end path and refuse to listen to reason. Now they are facing the consequences; it’s just
retribution.”
Bailey played with his teacup before responding. “The Cloudmist Observatory is indeed a remarkable place. You still have several decades of longevity, right?” Sage smiled and said, “Nothing can escape your eyes. In terms of longevity, I may not care as much as Magnus and his son, but I am still an ordinary person and would like to live longer. That’s why I established the Cloudmist Observatory and accumulated faith. I have been committed to doing good deeds for many years. This is what has allowed me to live several decades longer than Magnus. I disdain and have no interest in using the same methods as them.”
Simone looked up and asked, “Have you tried to stop them?” Sage sighed and said, “I have tried, but it was futile Magnus is the head of our sect, and his commands restrict all of us. It was because your master tried to prevent extreme actions that he was ambushed and seriously injured by them.”
He also admitted, I value my life more than him, so if I can’t control it, I won’t interfere. After his death. I became even more indifferent. I basically stay in Cloudmist Observatory and rarely go out.”
He looked at Simone with an open expression and said. The last time I went with Magnus to find you was a rare occasion. I knew your master didn’t make a mistake in choosing you. You are very talented.”
Simone stood up and poured a cup of tea for Sage, her gaze casually sweeping over his ears and face.
She saw that he still had a youthful appearance despite his white hair, and he exuded a transcendent temperament.
She smiled and said, “Master Sage, you flatter me
She sat down and said, “I came to Cloudmist Observatory today to ask for your help.
Sage smiled and said, “Go ahead, then. Tell me.”
Simone didn’t beat around the bush and said, “Previously, Magnus was able to control a demonie rift. We found out that he used the sect leader’s token to control it. However, he doesn’t know the exact location of the demonic rift. After he used the sect leader’s token back then, it suddenly shattered. Hence, I wanted to ask you if you know the location of that demonic rift.”
Upon hearing that, Sage shook his head and said, “I know that such a thing exists, but I’m not sure where it is. Magnus mentioned before that it was discovered by a previous sect leader and has been nurtured by each generation. It is only passed down to the sect leader, and only the sect leader knows.”
He continued, “It was with the help of that demonic rift that Magnus successfully ambushed your master.”
Simone was not surprised and said, “It’s okay if you don’t know, but I would like to ask you to help me find the location of the demonic rift. Once we find it, the three of us can join forces with the masters from the geomancy association to seal it completely. Otherwise, if it continues to roam freely, it will be a great hidden danger and may cause many people to meet untimely deaths.”

Sage pondered for a moment and said, “Very well. I had already decided long ago not 18
mundane world, but since you’ve spoken up, I will do my best to help find it. If I find it, I will help seal it together with you.”
It was evident that Sage didn’t show much emotional fluctuation towards the idea of many people dying tragically.
It as if he was accustomed to life and death and was completely indifferent to such matters.
Simone smiled and thanked him on behalf of the special department.
The three of them sat down, discussed mystical arts, and had dinner together.
After it got dark, Simone and Bailey politely declined Sage’s invitation to stay and left Cloudmist Observatory.
As they drove into the city of Cebros, Bailey took out a talisman and stuck it on the car.
Then, he commented, “Do you feel that there’s something off about him?”
Simone didn’t respond but instead inquired, “What are your thoughts?”
Bailey honestly replied, “Whether it’s his aura or his expression when he speaks, I don’t sense anything wrong. I also observed Cloudmist Observatory and confirmed that he was indeed absorbing the power of faith. It falls within the normal range and doesn’t involve any dark arts. It doesn’t have any impact on those who believe in Cloudinist Observatory. He communicates with us in a very open and honest
manner.”
Simone said, “I feel the same way as you. Not only do I not perceive any issues, but I also feel a sense of connection with him.”
Then, she changed the subject. “But we can’t completely dismiss any suspicion regarding him.”
She added meaningfully, “When it appears that there’s no problem, it can sometimes be the biggest problem. Is the sect leader’s token so easily broken?” Skyler investigated and confirmed that Magnus had used the sect leader’s token for the demonic rift.
However, what was discovered on Magnus was already shattered.
Bailey went to verify and, indeed, sensed the presence of the sect leader’s token.
Presently, Bailey shrugged. “I don’t know. After all, I’m not the sect leader. I was trapped and was sleeping in Cubilis after ten years of joining.”
The traffic light turned red, and Simone stepped on the brake, gesturing for Bailey to lean closer.
Bailey leaned over, and Simone whispered something in his ear.
Bailey’s eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief. “Is it true?”

Chapter 481 The Gray Family Has Been Active
Simone flashed a smile at him.
“I trust my instincts,” she said confidently.
“Well see when the time comes,” she added.
Tm heading to the mountains tomorrow to film. Are you planning to stay in Cebros or go. else?”
somewhere
Bailey replied, “I’ve been feeling tired for too long, so I want to go out and explore. I’ve already planned the route. After you leave Cebros, I’ll go on a trip.”
Having grown accustomed to being alone, Bailey had no intention of following Simone to the mountains. However, staying in Cebros didn’t seem very meaningful either.
“Okay, let’s keep in touch often!” Simone nodded.
“While you’re traveling, make sure to pay attention to the movements of the demonic rift,” she reminded him with a meaningful tone. “That thing appeared in Cubilis and then made its way to the outskirts of Cebros. It feels like it’s watching you. Be careful.”
At that, Bailey murmured. Tunderstand”
Now, only that demonic rift could make him wary and feel danger. He would definitely keep an eye on it
Bailey stayed in Simone’s courtyard.
After returning, they each went back to their rooms to rest
Simone reached out and gently poked the little snake on her wrist. “Have you found anything?” The liule snake had extraordinary talent and had been staying in the courtyard’s circle recently.
After consuming venom and being fed with spiritual stones all the time, it was now on the verge of achieving the Divine State.
As a result, it could communicate with her through consciousness.
The little little snake rubbed against Simone’s hand and conveyed its thoughts to her through
consciousness.
Simone looked up at the bright moon outside the window.
She narrowed her eyes, determined not to let anything change today.
The next morning, she took a leave from the special department.
She went to Joseph’s office again and had a conversation with Joseph and Skyler, asking them to arrange a few things.
At noon, Simone flew to the city where the film was being shot with the crew.
