It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

Being familiar with the Feather Guard's style of doing things allows for targeted predictions.

When did such a figure appear in the martial arts world?

Gray Feather frowned. Cui Xia had left five or six tracking methods at the scene.

The other party not only tampered with each part, but even tried to restore them.

If it weren't for some minor differences, even he might not have been able to tell the difference.

"All those on the Yuwei list near the county seat have been checked."

No one is a suspect.

Did this guy spring out of a rock?

As the dynasty's largest intelligence agency, the Feather Guard possessed information that was unimaginable to others.

Many hermits who thought they were well hidden were actually tracked down in detail by the Feather Guard.

In the past few days, they have even unearthed criminals from a case that occurred ten years ago from among these people.

They were unable to find a single person connected to the missing persons cases in the county.

"Have the officials from the government withdraw."

A public announcement was issued stating that the main suspect in the missing persons case has been apprehended.

Cui Xia was taken aback by Hui Yu's words.

"This...isn't this inappropriate?"

If more people go missing, things will get complicated.

The Imperial Guards wield considerable power, but if something goes wrong like this, the punishment is still severe.

In their monthly salary, they would also receive a pill.

Cui Xia knew that this thing was a sugar-coated bullet.

It can be helpful to cultivation to some extent.

But more importantly, it's about controlling them and preventing them from betraying the Feather Guard.

Medication is much more reliable than other methods.

Once a Feather Guard, always a Feather Guard.

This is not just talk.

If one does not take the elixir for a long time, the suffering will be worse than death.

If the disappearance case escalates further, everyone within the Grayfeather organization will be punished.

This is quite different from Cui Xia's ideal of living a life of leisure and doing nothing.

"The white feathers are all in place, relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside."

"If we don't entice the other party to continue, continuing the investigation like this will be time-consuming and laborious, and we might not even get any results."

Upon seeing the situation inside the courtyard, Gray Feather knew that his previous plans had failed.

The fact that the other party has been hiding is definitely not a good thing for them.

Withdrawing the patrol team gives the other party room to commit crimes.

Issuing another announcement might provoke the other party.

Given that Bai Yu has positioned himself correctly, the probability of catching the opponent is not low.

After all, the Feather Guards aren't just any Tom, Dick, or Harry who can get in.

Cui Xia appears mediocre and unambitious, but that's his choice.

When it comes to actually getting things done, they are far more useful than any martial arts expert.

"If we still can't catch him this time, I'll take the punishment."

At the same time, I will report this and try my best to request Mo Yu's intervention.

Gray Feather made up his mind: if he couldn't do it, then Mo Feather would have to.

The news that the mastermind behind the missing persons case had been apprehended quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys, and his portrait was posted everywhere.

The tense atmosphere in the city dissipated, and the whole city became lively again.

"Something feels off."

Why do those people in the yamen look so strange?

Has the perpetrator in the missing persons case really been caught?

Su Chen stood in the crowd, his thoughts a jumble.

The officials in the government office were tense, their eyes darting around nervously.

It's as if they're always ready for battle.

This doesn't look like they've caught a criminal; it looks more like they've lured the enemy into a trap.

"It's best to be careful at night these days..."

However, I need to go to the Xin family today to inquire about the situation.

Su Chen's previous earnings from writing have now almost completely disappeared.

If he can't make money from Xinshuo, he'll have to think of other ways to make a living.

Writing and painting can only solve immediate needs; they won't make you rich.

Spiritual practice and health maintenance both require substantial financial support.

Su Chen made up his mind that since the Xin family couldn't make money, he would find a way to make some exquisite little gadgets and become a peddler.

Once I'm stronger, I can go out of the city to hunt and gather herbs.

If you find something good, you can make an extra profit.

Although Su Chen went to the Xin family's house, the road he took became increasingly remote.

Su Chen stopped only after entering a deserted alley.

"Brother, you've been with me for so long."

Aren’t you tired?

Before Su Chen could finish speaking, two figures appeared at the end of the alley.

The two were scoundrels in the market, who made a living by extorting and cheating people.

Knowing that Su Chen had made a fortune in the market, the two of them set their sights on him.

For several days in a row, Su Chen explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

The roads they walked on were always crowded with people, so there was no opportunity to make a move.

In addition, due to the disappearance case, the city was under martial law, so the two of them were not very willing to take action.

It just so happens that the ban was lifted today, and I ran into Su Chen, so I followed him all the way.

"My brother and I would like to borrow some money from you. We'll take the money and leave."

"What if I don't give it?"

"Then don't blame us for getting rough with you!"

Su Chen smiled upon hearing this and pulled out a short stick from his sleeve, which he used to practice his sword techniques.

"I'd like to know, just how thick are you!"

A few breaths later, accompanied by screams, two more people appeared in the alley, their hands and feet bound.

"Go to the yamen and turn yourself in, or I'll show you what violence is!"

"Brother, we can't move like this!"

One of them grimaced in pain, but still managed a smile as he spoke to Su Chen.

"Climb it yourself."

Su Chen kicked one of the people and strode away from the alley.

The commotion inside the alley is unlikely to get out, but it seems like someone is rapidly approaching.

If his judgment is correct, the people approaching should be the backup plan arranged by the government.

I'll just help him deal with some odds and ends~

Chapter 41 Grandpa! Why are you kneeling?!

When Cui Xia heard the commotion and rushed to the scene, she saw two huge "caterpillars" crawling on the ground.

With a few simple tricks, Cui Xia quickly figured out the whole story.

Two scoundrels who tried to rob someone were killed on the spot.

Cui Xia was intrigued by the other party's identity.

"The stick marks on these two rascals look a lot like sword moves."

And it looks so familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before..."

Cui Xia was deep in thought when, just as the image flashed through her mind, she suddenly looked up.

"This is a mental technique that can only be practiced when you reach the Gray Feather realm!"

wrong!

This trick seems a bit old-fashioned.

The techniques that Gray Feather uses have been constantly updated over the years.

These injuries seem more like they were caused by using the same old tricks.

Has a traitor emerged from the Imperial Guard?

Or is he a traitor from many years ago?
