For Master Ming Yan, investigating the social networks of the sect's cultivators wasn't a particularly complicated matter.
The truly complicated part was that upon careful investigation, Xiao Chen had no social network to speak of.
He had only ever interacted with a handful of people, and he associated with even fewer on a regular basis.
As a result, many of the usual methods for currying favor had no suitable targets.
This forced Master Ming Yan to put in a great deal of thought and effort.
First, he designated the small courtyard where Xiao Chen had once lived in the Second Division as a restricted zone, strictly forbidding other disciples from approaching.
Next, he sent a child attendant to the Spirit Medicine Garden to fetch spirit medicines to be used in preparing a banquet.
Finally, he consulted the intelligence reports in his hand and made a series of personnel changes.
