Such a thing as Tian-di spirit, can it really be lent to others?
Shangguan Yunlan, upon seeing this, looked at Mo Ronghua with a suspicious gaze.
"Mr. Mo, is the record about Lu Xuan from the White Dao Prefecture here truly accurate?"
With that said, Shangguan Yunlan had the Black Feather Guard beside her pass the archive to Mo Ronghua.
"Lu Xuan?"
Upon hearing these two words, Li Chengxing’s eyes flashed with brilliance as he raised his hand, fingers slightly bent, and grasped at the void.
The archive, just handed to Mo Ronghua, seed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand.
The archive book separated from Mo Ronghua’s hand and flew swiftly toward Li Chengxing’s side.
"Lu Xuan, it’s indeed him!"
Reading the record, Li Chengxing’s eye twitched involuntarily, evidently left speechless by Lu Xuan’s actions.
Seeing this, Mo Ronghua could only manage a bitter smile; he knew without needing to look at the archive which matter Shangguan Yunlan was referring to.
"Yun Lan, this matter is indeed true, I would never fabricate!"
Upon receiving the answer, Shangguan Yunlan showed no reaction, which greatly surprised Mo Ronghua.
What Mo Ronghua did not know.
Shangguan Yunlan’s primary reason for coming to Anzhou was for Lu Xuan.
Examining archives from other City Mansion Xuan Bird Guards was rely incidental.
Li Chengxing’s visit to Anzhou was also for Lu Xuan.
Because His Majesty currently wants to summon Lu Xuan!
Before long, seven or eight Black Feather Guards who had gone to inspect the martial arts resources walked in from outside.
"Sir, the martial arts resources stored in Jingtai Prefecture indeed match the records in the archive."
"Hmm, very good!"
With her task complete, Shangguan Yunlan told Mo Ronghua a final word before leaving without looking back.
"Mr. Mo, we still have matters to attend to, so we won’t disturb you!"
Mo Ronghua beca sowhat puzzled by Shangguan Yunlan’s clean and swift departure.
Is it done just like that?
Mo Ronghua had intended to provide a bunch of reasons to persuade this group of Black Feather Guards.
After Shangguan Yunlan and the others left, Mo Ronghua approached Li Chengxing to voice his concerns.
"Mr. Xing, why did you personally co to Anzhou?"
It truly is strange?
Li Chengxing, being one of the three Deputy Directors of the Profound Bird Guard, holds a high status and unfathomable power.
How could he find the ti to personally co to this small place like Anzhou!
Li Chengxing handed the archive book back to Mo Ronghua, then smiled slightly.
He rely pointed mysteriously to the sky and spoke vaguely.
"Mr. Mo, my visit to Anzhou was naturally arranged by that person."
"That person is very interested in the one from the Anzhou White Dao Prefecture!"
"Mr. Mo, then I won’t disturb you further."
Having said that, Li Chengxing lost interest in lingering and turned to leave.
That person?
Soone from the White Dao Prefecture?
Mo Ronghua pondered for a mont, then suddenly, Lu Xuan’s face surfaced in his mind.
Could it be that they’ve co for Lu Xuan!
........
White Dao Prefecture Governnt!
In the mansion’s main hall, a man dressed in a governnt official’s uniform, appearing to be around sixty years old and wearing a frighteningly stern expression, stood within.
This man was the governnt office’s Chief Constable, Fan Wei, a martial artist with minor achievent in the Blood Refining realm.
In front of Fan Wei stood an elderly man with graying temples, who was none other than Hong Zhi, the Prefect of White Dao Prefecture.
At this mont, Hong Zhi’s expression was profoundly grave, his eyes mixed with anxiety and urgency.
"Have the whereabouts of those four been found?"
Hong Zhi’s words were forceful and commanded attention.
"Returning to the official, no!"
"Those four subordinates of mine, after heading to the eastern side of the city, completely vanished."
"Also, the body of Wu Wei disappeared with them."
"It happened at the location in Shuin Lane."
Fan Wei shared everything he knew.
Hong Zhi murmured softly.
"Shuin Lane, Wu Wei?"
"Wu Wei, I recall he is the owner of the Wu Family martial arts school."
"Yes, Sir!"
"Just this morning, Wu Wei mysteriously died at ho, so I dispatched Chief Constable Fan Dong and four others to investigate the situation."
At this mont, Hong Zhi raised his head and scrutinized Fan Wei, seemingly assessing him!
Hong Zhi’s gaze was like a cold, piercing wind blowing directly at Fan Wei’s face.
"Where did that guy Fan Dong go?"
Fan Wei showed a look of sha and cautiously replied, "Returning to the official, that guy Fan Dong deserted his duties during the mission and went to Xinyue Building."
"However, by noon, Fan Dong had already returned to the governnt office."
"He reported to about the strange disappearance of those four governnt officials and Wu Wei’s body."
"Fan Dong is now waiting outside!"
The reason Fan Wei was in a difficult position was because An Dong was his nephew.
Even at the age of twenty-nine, this guy remained idle all day.
Thanks to his uncle, he barely managed to reach the Bone Refining Realm.
Just enough to et the governnt office’s Chief Constable standards.
So, Fan Wei leveraged his position as Chief Constable, and by conferring with the Prefect, promoted his nephew to the rank of Chief Constable.
Then, Fan Wei angrily shouted toward the outside!
"You scoundrel, abandoning your duty like that, hurry in here!"
As Fan Wei’s words fell, a man in governnt official attire scrambled in from outside.
The man appeared sowhat stocky, with visible redness on his face, indicating lingering effects of alcohol.
"You scoundrel, kneel down!"
Seeing his uncle’s wrath, the redness of Fan Dong’s intoxication vanished in an instant, leaving his complexion pale as he stumbled to kneel before Hong Zhi.
"Pardon , Sir, it was my dereliction of duty, please punish !"
Hong Zhi furrowed his brows slightly and spoke indifferently.
"Speak, I want the complete details!"
Seeing the Prefect seed not angry, a trace of relief showed deep within Fan Dong, and he eagerly spoke up.
"Yes!"
"This morning, I was ordered to Shuin Lane in the east of the city to investigate the mysterious death of the Wu Family martial arts school owner."
"Then, I and the other four thoroughly examined Wu Family martial arts school and found no clues."
"So I decided to transport Wu Wei’s body to the governnt office morgue for closer examination."
"Then, halfway through, urgent matters arose, so I left the four n to carry Wu Wei’s body back to the governnt office."
"And then... then... just as the official saw, those four n and Wu Wei’s body vanished together!"
After saying this, a hint of relief appeared on Fan Dong’s face.
As if in an unintended way, he avoided a fatal disaster!
