Quick Transmigration: The Divine-Looking Host is Always Pampered by a Powerful Boss

The servant's expression changed instantly when he didn't get the remaining money. With a slight threat from Chief Du, he revealed everything that Peng Shan had instructed him to do.

Suppressing his anger, Chief Du had the servant thrown into the dungeon that very night.

The moon hung in the sky, and the servant had been hungry for almost a whole day; his stomach was rumbling. Suddenly, someone came to visit the prison cell.

The servant rubbed his stomach, gripping the iron bars with both hands and peering out towards the door.

A short while later, a strange man entered.

The servant had seen him in the council hall.

He is the chief protector of Guanglin Palace.

The servant glanced at the food box in the other person's hand, swallowed hard, and asked, "Did you bring me food? I'm starving. Is there any meat?"

"Yes, thank you for your help with Peng Shan's matter." The Great Protector opened the food box in his hand, and the bowls and chopsticks were passed in through the gaps in the railing.

The servant's eyes lit up, and he brought in a bowl and chopsticks full of food. He wolfed it down while saying, "Actually, I don't know much either. Peng Shan also told me to contact someone. That person seems to be related to the elder of the Illusion Puppet Pavilion. Don't worry, I didn't tell Alliance Leader Du about this."

The Great Protector's lips curled into a strange smile as he closed his eyes and began counting the beats in his mind.

One, two, three... nine, ten.

"Uh..." The servant's face suddenly turned pale, a burning pain shot through his throat, and he was filled with the suffocating taste of blood. He was shocked and spat out the food in his mouth, which was mixed with blood.

It felt like an axe was gouging out his flesh and blood. The servant suddenly knocked over the bowl in front of him, his finger trembling as he pointed at the Great Protector, his face full of disbelief: "You... I didn't expose myself. I only mentioned Peng Shan, not anyone else..."

The Great Protector lifted his eyelids, a sinister glint appearing in his dim eyes: "But not right now."

Moreover, if he could expose Peng Shan so thoroughly during the day, he might not be able to keep the secret in the future.

He wouldn't gamble on any possibility of exposure.

At daybreak, the servant's body was discovered. His lips were black and blue, he was foaming at the mouth, and his eyes bulged out in terror. His face showed an extremely painful and resentful tragic appearance.

It was clearly the result of a violent death.

After taking his pulse, the doctor shook his head sadly: "His internal organs have been weakened by the poison; he has been dead for at least an hour."

Who would dare to openly poison someone in the Alliance Leader's mansion?

Alliance Leader Du flew into a rage: "Investigate this thoroughly!"

The servant received his instructions and left.

When no one was watching, Chu Zhuo quietly approached Alliance Leader Du and went straight to the point: "Alliance Leader Du, I have someone I suspect."

Leader Du wasn't surprised how Nie Chuzhuo knew.

After all, it concerns the reputation of the senior disciple of the Sword Forging Manor, so it's normal for family members to care.

"Young Master Nie, please have a seat." Alliance Leader Du waved his hand, gesturing to the wooden chair on the other side of the table.

Chu Zhuo lifted the hem of his robe, sat down properly, and turned to tell his story.

Yesterday, Chu Zhuo secretly investigated the Illusion Puppet Pavilion and the Myriad Sounds Palace. The elder of the Illusion Puppet Pavilion was nowhere to be found. Before he could come up with a solution, he unexpectedly bumped into the young master of the Myriad Sounds Valley going out of the Alliance Leader's Mansion.

Chu Zhu followed the other party all the way to the outside of the city and discovered a secret stronghold.

As dawn broke, the young master of Wanlai Valley returned to the Alliance Leader's Mansion. When Chu Zhuo concealed himself and returned to his own courtyard, he passed by the residence of the Guanglin Palace faction.

I inadvertently glanced at the expression of the Grand Protector of Guanglin Palace, which was quite inscrutable; he seemed to be in a good mood.

Chu Zhuo was puzzled. He went back and changed into his night clothes. Then he heard a message from Alliance Leader Du that the servant boy had died yesterday.

Chu Zhuo immediately connected the expression of the Great Protector of Guanglin Palace.

The Great Protector was confident in his whereabouts and made no attempt to conceal them, so when Zhuo and Alliance Leader Du's men found him not long afterward, he was taken aback.

The Grand Protector had not expected the Alliance Leader's Mansion to act so quickly.

After all, he usually behaves in a proper and unremarkable manner, without standing out too much or showing off too much. Logically speaking, even if there is a full-scale search, it shouldn't immediately lead to him.

As they locked eyes, Chief Du sensed the undisguised haste deep within the Great Protector's pupils. A feeling of defeat welled up within him, his legs trembled, his steps faltered, and he staggered backward, losing his strength.

He didn't notice at all.

Most of the members of Guanglin Palace are usually silent. The Grand Protector occasionally offers some ideas, neither standing out nor being conservative. They are the backbone of the Martial Alliance.

Seeing this, a subordinate standing diagonally behind asked worriedly, "Leader?"

Alliance Leader Du waved his hand, regaining his composure: "It's nothing." He took a deep breath and continued, "Investigate the evidence at the Alliance Leader's residence."

In less than a moment, the Great Protector regained his composure and quickly came up with a plausible reason: "Alliance Leader, I slept soundly yesterday and woke up late. My clothes in the room are really messy and haven't been tidied up yet. I'm afraid it's embarrassing and would damage the image of Guanglin Palace. Could the Alliance Leader give me half a quarter of an hour to tidy up a bit?"

Alliance Leader Du stared intently at him and simply said, "No need."

The subordinate cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me, Great Protector."

Before long, his subordinates found the poison in the house that they hadn't had time to hide. After inspecting it, the accompanying doctor gave a barely perceptible nod to Chief Du.

They are the same kind.

Leader Du looked grief-stricken.

The Great Protector clenched his fist and, taking advantage of the moment when Alliance Leader Du relaxed his mind, suddenly struck out, drawing the weapon hidden in his sleeve and stabbing at Alliance Leader Du with lightning speed.

Chu Zhuo, having mastered the Nine Heavens Wind and Cloud Technique, possessed a keen sense of airflow. He swiftly grabbed Alliance Leader Du's shoulder and pulled him to the side, shouting, "Alliance Leader, be careful!"

The blade grazed Du's cheek, only half a finger's width away. Du turned his head sharply and had several strands of hair cut off.

Du, the leader of the alliance, felt his heart leap into his throat. He tensed his body and leaned back in the direction Chu Zhuo pulled him. Once he regained his footing, he said with lingering fear, "Thank you, Young Hero Nie."

After confirming that Alliance Leader Du was safe, Chu Zhuo released Alliance Leader Du, spun around half a circle on the ground with his toes, causing the air currents on the ground to ripple slightly. He then took out the short sword from his waist and prepared to deal with the Great Protector's killing move.

The Great Protector's martial arts skills were not strong. He almost succeeded in his sneak attack earlier because Alliance Leader Du was not on guard. Now, in just a few moves, he was defeated by Chu Zhuo.

The newly crafted short sword was pressed against his throat, the sharp blade leaving a faint bloodstain: "Surrender, or die."

Alliance Leader Du straightened his clothes and walked over, his gaze calm and compassionate. Finally, he said, "Young Hero Nie has worked hard this time. The Alliance Leader's Mansion will definitely give the Sword Forging Manor an explanation."

Chu Zhu nodded and went back into the courtyard.

Lin Weiqu noticed his slightly disheveled hair and called out to him, "Where did Xiao Liu go? His hair is all messed up."

"Is it a mess?" Chu Zhu subconsciously touched her long, thick, black hair and replied, "Go find Alliance Leader Du."

Now that things had come to this point, and the situation was pretty much clear, Chu Zhuo bluntly said, "Senior Brother, there's a mole in the Martial Alliance."

Lin Weiqu frowned and pulled Chu Zhuo to sit in the pavilion: "Where did this spy come from? Didn't Alliance Leader Du already deal with them last time?"

As a result, several disciples of the Alliance Leader's Mansion died as retaliation from the Blood Fiend Sect.

"To be precise, they weren't undercover agents. Some people had ulterior motives from the start." Chu Zhuo sat down with him. "Senior Brother, Master is right. The people in the martial world are unpredictable and their hearts are complex."

"When that servant was discovered last time, I noticed that a few people looked a bit off. The subtle malice they exuded was unsettling. So I secretly observed them. This morning, Alliance Leader Du said that the servant was poisoned to death, and that one of those people was the one who did it. They were afraid that the servant would give himself away..." With the matter confirmed, Chu Zhuo revealed everything he knew.

Lin Weiqu grew increasingly anxious as he listened, his brows furrowing incessantly. Finally, he sighed deeply and patted his junior brother's head, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Little Six."

Understanding the heartache and affection hidden in Lin Weiqu's sigh, Chu Zhu tilted her head slightly, nudged Lin Weiqu's hand, and said in a soft tone, "Your senior brothers and sisters are focused on dealing with the Blood Fiend Sect and racking their brains every day to find a way out for the Martial Alliance. They are also working very hard."

Since he started practicing the Nine Heavens Technique, his senior brothers and sisters have let him focus on martial arts training, while they take care of miscellaneous tasks. Chu Zhuo smiled and his eyes were filled with sincerity.

Lin Weiqu felt a warmth in his heart and asked about his progress in martial arts training.
