A pharmacy in the western district of Moran City.
The man lying in the chair suddenly felt the movent of the Spirit Talisman in his arms, and his once drowsy eyes suddenly widened in shock.
Quickly, he went to the room inside, only then did he take out the Spirit Talisman and infused it with Spiritual Power.
Yao’Er’s voice instantly sounded.
"Lord Yao!"
The man exclaid in surprise.
He had been in Moran City for a while, and since the incident last ti, it had beco even more difficult to infiltrate Prince Xuan’s Mansion.
Attempts to bribe the servants of Prince Xuan’s Mansion had all ended in failure.
They were almost discovered themselves, eventually forced to relocate to their current place.
Recalling the miserable state of Hua Siyuan and Lao Jiu, he certainly didn’t want to end up like that.
Finally, he reported to Wood Shadow, requesting soone to co.
Unexpectedly, it was Yao’Er.
"With Lord Yao here, the problem shouldn’t be too big."
He dared not delay, so after explaining a word to the Shadow Guard in the pharmacy, he prepared to head for the Lanting Inn.
Just as he stepped out of the pharmacy.
"Old Wan, where are you rushing off to so hastily?"
From the blacksmith shop nearby, a middle-aged man, bare-chested from years of forging iron, his biceps much larger than ordinary people’s, called out.
"Old Zhang, I’m going out for a bit, need sothing?"
Wanyu paused and asked.
The best way to hide was to blend in, and over these days, he’d gotten familiar with the ordinary people around him.
Especially the burly man at the blacksmith shop next door; the two often bragged and drank together.
"No, my kid bought a few pots of good wine, co over for dinner tonight and we’ll have a good drink."
"Alright, I’ll co back early!"
"I won’t talk to you now, I have matters to attend to first."
"You go ahead, I’ll be waiting for you tonight."
Old Zhang watched him leave, his eyes subtly changing, then he turned and went inside.
"Brothers in West Street, the fish is heading your way. I feel sothing’s off, keep a close watch."
"Received, received!"
Retrieving the Communication Talisman.
"Hopefully, my guessing isn’t wrong. If true, this would be a great rit."
Old Zhang felt a surge of excitent.
All shops in this area belonged to the Celestial Profound Gang, so every action of these people was reported daily to Zhuo Wu.
He had even let it be known that as long as an anomaly is spotted and reported, there will be rewards regardless of the outco.
Zhuo Wu’s generosity was well-known.
If Wanyu knew the outco, he probably would have considered cutting his own throat out of regret.
However, he couldn’t be entirely blad, as these people had always been doing business here.
They just joined the Celestial Profound Gang not long ago.
...
After spending about half an hour, Wanyu arrived at the Lanting Inn.
What he didn’t know was that he had been watched the entire way.
Not because he was careless; as a Shadow Guard, he was very vigilant.
But along the way, no one seed to observe him deliberately.
Whether it was the peddlers he walked past or the shops, beggars—they all belonged to the Celestial Profound Gang, proving Zhuo Wu was the underground emperor of Moran City.
His people were everywhere.
If he wished, he could present the daily lives of those big families in detail before him.
"Are you here to stay or eat, patron?"
The sa servant from before greeted him with a smile.
"Is there a room on the fourth floor?"
"Fourth floor?"
"Please wait, patron, I’ll check for you."
"Hmm!"
Wanyu nodded.
He saw the servant quickly run to the counter to inquire.
A mont later, he ran back and said, "There’s one room left, but it’s a bit pricey, one thousand taels per night, what do you think...."
Before he could finish, Wanyu handed him a silver note, "Take there!"
"Alright!"
The servant took the silver note, beaming, and then led the way.
Fourth floor!
"This is your room, patron. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask."
"Understood, I want to rest, do not disturb!"
"Please rest assured, patron."
The servant nodded slightly and then quickly headed downstairs.
Watching him disappear at the stairway, Wanyu then walked to the very corner and knocked gently on the door, "Lord Yao!"
"Co in."
Yao’Er’s voice ca from inside.
Wanyu pushed open the door and imdiately closed it after entering.
Yet, unknown to him, the fourth floor had a bamboo tube, and at the other end was the servant.
He could see everything in clear detail.
"Sure enough, they’re with them; must report to the leader imdiately!"
Inside the room.
Wanyu knelt on one knee, "Greetings to Lord Yao."
"Rise!"
Yao’Er drained the cup of wine and then spoke softly.
"Thank you, Lord Yao."
Wanyu stood up and respectfully stood there, head lowered, not daring to look at Yao’Er.
"Speak, what exactly is the current situation?"
Faced with Yao’Er’s inquiry, he dared not hide and fully recounted the happenings during this period, including his actions.
Much later.
"So, you’ve been here all these days and accomplished nothing, almost getting discovered instead?"
Yao’Er’s face instantly turned icy cold.
"Please forgive , my lord, I’ve truly done my best."
While admitting fault, Wanyu also defended himself.
To be honest, he had used almost every thod he could think of, but to no avail!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called for help from Wood Shadow.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Yao’Er struck with a burst of Spiritual Power directly on his sea of consciousness, causing Wanyu to groan, his face turning pale instantly.
"This is just a warning, if things continue like this, you might as well join Hua Siyuan."
Upon hearing this, Wanyu’s eyes filled with horror.
That hellish place, going there would an more than just shedding a layer of skin.
"Yes, Lord Yao, I will do my utmost to aid you."
Upon saying this, Yao’Er looked at him, and the imnse pressure suddenly bearing down on Wanyu made his legs tremble uncontrollably.
Thankfully, it was only a brief mont before the pressure vanished.
"You’re useless at handling affairs, but quick with words!"
