n“Vice Commander Fu, how should we deal with this lad?”

n“Check him out first and then those who were trapped in the illusionary array. Release them only after you interrogate them thoroughly. Detain anyone suspicious!”

n

n

nFu Yinhong turned around and looked at the City Guards on the black street. She yelled, “All of you, continue to expand the search!”

n“Yes!”

nThe unison reply echoed in the air. Dozens of guards scattered in all directions after they heard the command.

nXu Xiaoshou was shocked to hear this, thinking that it was not finished yet. It seemed that they would detain some people after the interrogation.

n

n

n“I don’t have so much time for you to detain me,” he thought.

n“There is a possibility that I will stay in jail for a month after leaving the Spirit Palace. But…”

n“Miss Fu, could you forgo the process of checking me out because I have something else to do. How about I show you the direction, and you let me go?” Xu Xiaoshou ventured.

n“Show me the direction?” Fu Yinhong glared at him. “You didn’t see anything earlier, but now you are saying you saw things.”

n

n

n“It’s because I have been sitting here, so I’m different from those who were trapped in the array!”

n“Hmph…”

nFu Yinhong sneered inwardly. She knew that this lad was not simple and might actually know something.

n“Tell me!”

n“I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret because I don’t want to lose my life!”

n“Out with it!”

n

n

nXu Xiaoshou took a deep breath and described with his hands, “This… This height, masked, cloudy eyes, but with a strong Sword Will… Quite relaxed.”

n“Masked?”

n“Yes, although I couldn’t see the face clearly, I could tell there was a very strong Sword Will!”

n“Which direction did the killer go?”

n“I don’t know.”

nFu Yinhong wasn’t sure what to say.

n“Didn’t you say that you would point the direction for me?” she snapped through gritted teeth. The veins on her neck were bulging.

nXu Xiaoshou smiled bitterly. “I’d like to point a direction for you, but it’s already quite good that I can provide you with some information about the killer’s face. It’s because I can see something with my perception. Otherwise, you would know nothing!”

n

n

nFu Yinhong was silent.

nIn fact, the detailed description given by Xu Xiaoshou had put her suspicions to rest.

nIf Xu Xiaoshou could really point a direction, she would be suspicious. But the nearly perfect description…

nTo be honest, she believed that Xu Xiaoshou had tried his best.

nThis lad had made quite an effort to avoid being detained.

nJudging by his behavior, she could tell that the young man had been carefree in the Spiritual Palace and looked down on others.

nIt was not so bad that he could tell her as much as he had.

nCould this lad clean up the site, collude with the tavern owner, and fabricate a reasonable and believable story in such a short time?

nFu Yinhong didn’t believe it at all.

nSince she found out that he was in the early level of Innate Stage, she had already excluded any possibility of investigating him further in her heart.

n“What do you think?”

nXu Xiaoshou looked at Fu Yinhong innocently. He would steal a glance at her body from time to time.

nHe looked like an ordinary customer and behaved in the same way as those young men from famous families.

n

n

nFu Yinhong let out a sigh of relief. Her pretty eyes blinked. Xu Xiaoshou was on the verge of drooling when he witnessed the scene.

nShe turned around and flew up into the sky. While waving her slender hand, she coldly spoke.

n“Detain him for 10 days and then release him!”

nEven though the lad was not a suspect anymore, detaining him for 10 days was enough to compensate for the psychological pain he had inflicted on her during their conversation.

nHe was such a hack.

n“Yes!”

nThe guard at his side stood solemnly.

n“No, please, no!” Xu Xiaoshou shouted. “I’ve already told you everything I know, yet you still want to detain me! You are using your power for personal gain! You are greedy for money and lust!”

nThe guard was startled.

nAdmired, passive point, 1.

nAn irritated yell could be heard in the sky, “Half a month!”

n“Holy sh*t. That is unfair. I just asked you some questions, and you want to detain me for half a month. Where is your evidence?”

nSeeing the woman head further away, Xu Xiaoshou cupped his mouth with his hands and shouted, “Don’t you want to enforce the law yourself?”

nFu Yinhong swayed violently in the empty space. She had almost fallen.

nCursed, passive point, 1.

nAdmired, passive point, 1.

nXu Xiaoshou kept on yelling, “In that case, you at least need to leave a few more people here! One guard is unable to withstand my attack!”

nFu Yinhong was long gone.

nIt was obvious that anyone would be unable to stand Xu Xiaobu’s nonsense. She was afraid that she would choose to use violence to enforce the law if she stayed any longer.

n“She’s finally gone.”

nXu Xiaoshou watched the woman leave.

nAs long as Fu Yinhong was gone, he had accomplished half of his goal. In other words, the suspicion around him was basically lifted.

nAs for being detained for half a month…

n“Man, what’s your name?” He turned his head toward the guard.

nEven though the guard wore a helmet and armor, the killing aura could still be sensed from his body.

n“Sun Dagang,” the guard replied in a low voice.

nHe had some respect for Xu Xiaoshou because he could never dare to say “greedy for money and lust” in her face.

n“What’s your cultivation level?” Xu Xiaoshou continued to ask.

n“Upper Spirit Stage!”

n“Peak?”

n“Mm.”

n“Awesome!”

nXu Xiaoshou complimented him from the bottom of his heart. A surprised expression suddenly showed on his face as Xu Xiaoshou looked behind the guard and asked, “Is that your city lord?”

n“City lord?”

nThe guard, Sun Dagang, was startled. He turned around solemnly and was about to salute.

nBang!

nHe felt a sharp pain in his head and saw blackness in front of his eyes. He was unconscious.

nXu Xiaoshou shook his hand a few times.

nEven though that trick was old-fashioned, it always worked.

nAs long as the others were not on their guard, no one could survive the trick. As for being on guard…

nA guy who had “admiration” for Xu Xiaoshou could in no way defend himself.

n“Half a month.”

nXu Xiaoshou snickered and dragged the unconscious Sun Dagang into the tavern.

nSpeaking of being detained for half a month, he didn’t have time for that.

nIt was not easy to get out of the Spirit Palace for a month. Shortening the holiday by half would drive him crazy just by thinking about it.

nElder Sang couldn’t even detain him at the moment.

nAs for the reminder and advice, Xu Xiaoshou had mentioned earlier that one guard was not enough for him to strike.

nWhether Fu Yinhong believed his advice or not, it was his freedom to choose whether to strike.

n“Boss.”

nSeeing the young man with an amiable smile, the tavern owner had almost knelt on the ground.

nHe thought, “Oh, my goodness!”

n“He even dares to knock a City Guard unconscious! What else does he not dare to do?”

n“Young man, you’ve come to the end of your road!”

n“Little brother, this old man would like to advise you to hurry up and run away, and never come back to Tiansang City,” the tavern owner genuinely said.

nXu Xiaoshou grinned, “You are a good man.”

nHe threw the guard on the ground and said, “Hurry up and call the police. No, report to the so-called city lord mansion. You can tell them about knocking the guard unconscious, but don’t say anything about what happened earlier than that!”

n“You have received my spirit crystal, so we are in the same boat now.”

nThe tavern owner was speechless.

nResisted, passive point, 1.

n“Don’t worry. You’re just an ordinary person, so they won’t do anything to you. And I’m a good person as well.”

n“All good people will be rewarded.”

nXu Xiaoshou knocked on Aje’s head, placed the conical hat on its head, and walked away carrying two cooked beef meals.

n“The wine is for you. Take your time drinking it.”

n
