This aura was sharp and fierce, as if it could cut him into pieces in an instant!

However, this sharp aura did not harm him; it merely enveloped his body.

Hengyuan's eyes snapped open.

"Is this good?"

Su Nan nodded slightly.

There are actually many ways to conceal one's aura; it's not always necessary to rely on magical artifacts.

Each system also has different ways of concealing its own aura.

Just like the Confucian concept of being blinded by a leaf, it can erase someone's presence and existence in a short time.

This method can certainly be used in southern Jiangsu as well!

He enveloped Hengyuan's body with his own sword intent, which helped him conceal his aura.

Even the astronomical observation techniques of the Imperial Observatory could not detect the slightest clue!

This is not a difficult task for people in southern Jiangsu; it can be done easily.

But in Hengyuan's eyes, this move was... astonishing.

How did Number Three manage to conceal his presence so easily?

Hengyuan's eyes widened in shock!

Previously, everyone in the Heaven and Earth Society had been speculating about Number Three's strength, which might be at the fourth rank!

Is this something a fourth-rank official can do?!

Hengyuan's heart skipped a beat, and a terrifying thought popped into his mind!

Could Number Three's strength be at the third rank?!

"Your aura has been concealed, so things will be much simpler from now on."

Su Nan shook the wine gourd and turned to walk outside.

"follow me."

Hengyuan was somewhat suspicious.

Is Number Three going to help him walk out in style?

Although they concealed their presence, they still faced questioning from the night watchmen and the Imperial Guards.

The most important thing to do right now is not to find a place to hide and wait until tomorrow to leave Kyoto.

Hengyuan had his doubts.

He dared not speak, nor did he dare ask.

This number three seems mysterious and unpredictable; it's best to keep quiet and just follow him.

……

The murder of Yuanbo Sanping alarmed the Golden Gong, six Silver Gongs, and dozens of Bronze Gongs on duty that night.

Almost all the night watchmen were out on duty, along with several white-clad officials from the Imperial Observatory.

The Imperial Guards, in coordination with the night watchmen, maintained a tight blockade around the Pingyuan Earl's residence, covering an area of ​​several miles.

These people, dressed in white robes from the Imperial Observatory, conducted a thorough search.

Dark shadows flickered on the rooftops all around, and Imperial Guards searched and patrolled the streets.

Anyone who tries to sneak into this place will be subject to strict scrutiny.

Hengyuan frowned as he looked at it.

Under such tight blockade and search, it's highly unlikely that one could get out in just a few steps.

Hengyuan silently gripped his staff, ready to break out by force at any moment.

Perhaps Number Three thinks the same way.

Su Nan and Heng Yuan had only walked a few steps when they encountered the Imperial Guards who were searching and sealing off the area.

"Who goes there? Halt!"

A sharp voice came from ahead.

Immediately afterwards, several Imperial Guards walked over, their sharp eyes scanning and scrutinizing the two of them.

Although Hengyuan appeared calm, the way he gripped his staff tightly revealed his state of mind.

Su Nan remained calm and stood there, waiting for the Imperial Guards to approach.

"You two report..."

The leading Imperial Guard had sharp eyes and was about to question the two when he suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

"Su Zhe Xian, what are you doing here?!"

The person who came over to question the two was none other than Xu Pingzhi!

As a centurion of the Imperial Guard, he was required to patrol the area on a regular basis.

However, Xu Pingzhi was not in charge of this area. The incident happened suddenly tonight, and he was temporarily pulled over.

Xu Pingzhi initially thought it was some suspicious person, but when he saw Su Nan's face clearly, he immediately lowered his guard.

Could Su Zhexian be the murderer of the Earl of Pingyuan?!

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Hengyuan looked surprised upon hearing this.

Su Zhexian?!

峮sanqi七玖仪依究

Number three...it's actually that immortal who's famous throughout the Great Feng Dynasty?!

He knows these Imperial Guards?!

"Uncle Xu, it's been a long time." Su Nan greeted him with a smile.

Xu Pingzhi looked extremely pleased when he heard Su Nan call him "Uncle Xu"!

Eh!

That "uncle" made him feel completely refreshed!

Xu Pingzhi then said to his colleagues, "You all know Su Zhexian, right?"

"One of our own."

Xu Pingzhi's colleagues all showed strange expressions.

They were all seasoned patrons of the brothel; how could they not know the name of Su Zhexian?!

Visiting the brothels never costs money; in fact, the courtesans can even pay you.

This is truly a role model for us all!!

"I heard that your Lingyue and Su Zhexian have a good relationship. When you become Su Zhexian's father-in-law in the future, don't forget your brother."

"If we get one of his poems, we can visit the music and dance academy without spending any money."

"Ahem, Old Xu, when would you like to introduce me to someone?"

"..."

Xu Pingzhi listened to the whispers of his colleagues with a broad smile.

"Easy to say 893 easy to say 964. Four 60"

"Su Zhexian and Lingyue do have a good relationship; we usually address each other as uncle and nephew!"

"..."

Xu Pingzhi then remembered his business and asked curiously, "Little Su, what are you doing here at this hour instead of at the Jiaofangsi?"

This is the benefit of establishing a personal brand.

When other men appeared at the brothel, people would only think that they were indulging in debauchery and drinking.

It would seem strange to others that Su Nan was not affiliated with the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution).

Su Nan laughed and said, "I'm not going to the brothel tonight."

"I've been invited by the princess to visit Prince Yu's residence."

The princess invited me?

Everyone glanced at Su Nan, clicking their tongues inwardly.

He grew up to be handsome, which was quite remarkable.

Not only did the courtesan offer herself up, but even the princess took the initiative to invite her.

"I see……"

Xu Pingzhi was not surprised at all.

After all, Su Nan and the Eldest Princess had a good relationship, so what's so strange about her being on good terms with the Princess?!

He was just worried about his own Lingyue.

We need to hurry, Suzuki!

Xu Pingzhi then looked at Hengyuan next to Su Nan and asked, "Little Su, who is this?"

Su Nan smiled calmly and said, "This is my good friend. He comes from Qinglong Temple and was invited by me to come to Prince Yu's Mansion."

“Princess Pingyang is charitable and plans to sponsor the Yangshengtang with him.”

The Great Feng Dynasty once launched an anti-Buddhist campaign, and Qinglong Temple was the only remaining temple near Kyoto, where incense offerings were quite prosperous.

Upon hearing that Hengyuan was a monk from Qinglong Temple, Xu Pingzhi exclaimed, "Oh, so you're a master from Qinglong Temple."
