Leaving the official residence of the Six Doors (a government agency).

Chen Hai looked at the bustling traffic in the distance with a bewildered expression.

King of Yue?

Princess Baihua?

When did I ever have any interaction with that important person who is high above me?

No wonder Qian Jimin let him leave so quickly.

Chen Hai racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out.

"call!"

"never mind."

No matter how you put it.

This is all a good thing.

"We need to get back to Changning County immediately, but we don't know what the situation is like there now."

His expression turned serious again.

Especially when he thought about how Qian Jimin, the head of the Six Doors, repeatedly caused trouble for a newcomer.

Chen Hai's brows furrowed tightly.

"I hope nothing bad happens!"

however.

Just as Chen Hai was about to leave the city and head back to Changning County overnight.

Someone stopped Chen Hai with a document in hand.

"Officer Chen."

"Don't rush off."

The visitor, with a fake smile on his face, handed the document to Chen Hai:

"There's a case here that requires your personal handling."

"after all."

"This crime was committed within the jurisdiction of Changning County."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai's face immediately darkened.

"However, according to the intelligence gathered by Tingfeng Hall, the suspect has already left information around Nanming Prefecture."

"so."

"Officer Chen, you can return to Changning County after you have resolved this case."

"oh."

"Oh, right."

"The Cheng Ye you take such good care of should also be in Nanming Prefecture."

Cheng Ye came without telling Miao Lize.

But five days have passed, and no matter what, Miao Lize already knows about this.

He then quickly sent a message by carrier pigeon to tell Qian Jimin what had happened.

That's why.

When Mr. Wang was giving advice, he told Qian Jimin that the reason he could get Chen Hai and Cheng Ye to leave the Six Doors was because of this.

Before Chen Hai could get angry, the newcomer continued:

"This is your duty."

Chen Hai was so choked by those words that his throat felt like it was about to spew fire.

Qian Jimin tried to pressure him with rules, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Officer Chen."

"I wish you a smooth journey."

Done.

The man turned around and disappeared without a trace.

Chen Hai forced himself to calm down.

He roughly guessed why Cheng Ye was in Nanming Prefecture; it was simply for his own sake.

"Silly boy."

"However, Qian Jimin deliberately brought me back here to create an opportunity to deal with Xiao Cheng."

"How did he get here?"

Chen Hai couldn't understand how Cheng Yi managed to escape Qian Jimin's conspiracy and even had the extra energy to take care of his own affairs.

He abandoned the idea of ​​returning to Changning County immediately.

"Let's find Cheng Ye first."

With Chen Hai's connections, finding someone in Nanming Prefecture wouldn't be difficult.

……

The next day.

Yuelai Inn.

Cheng opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

He got out of bed and felt incredibly comfortable all over.

"When internal energy circulates through the body in a microcosmic orbit, it also refines the body's constitution. This is the origin of cultivating life in the dual cultivation of body and mind."

For martial artists

If there is a quiet, undisturbed environment.

Cultivating inner energy is better than simply sleeping.

"We've pretty much taken care of everything we needed to do during this trip to Nanming Prefecture."

"It's time to go back to Changning County."

The dazzling world of Nanming Prefecture is truly captivating.

However, Cheng had no foundation here before he could enter the Three Halls after his cultivation reached the fifth rank of the mortal realm and he passed the assessment.

Staying in Nanming Prefecture would only make things more difficult for them.

Not to mention.

Is there someone lurking in the shadows, eyeing him covetously within these six doors?

After packing his luggage, Cheng went to the counter to check out.

When Bai Xiaotong caught a glimpse of Cheng Ye coming downstairs, his expression became extremely strange.

"Shopkeeper, I'd like to check out."

When Cheng Ye arrived at the counter, Bai Xiaotong finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"Do you have connections with the King of Yue's family?"

Cheng also showed a look of "surprise," then shook his head and said:

"If only it were as you say, shopkeeper."

"How could I possibly know someone like that?"

"If that's the case, why should I bother seeking connections with the Seven Pills Sect? Why not just go directly to the Prince of Yue?"

Bai Xiaotong's face still showed suspicion:

"really?"

"Tsk."

"I have good news for you."

"Officer Chen is out of danger."

Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, then, overjoyed, leaned almost against the counter:

"Really?"

"Very good!"

This unbelievable look doesn't seem fake.

Bai Xiaotong secretly shook his head, banishing all those absurd thoughts from his mind.

"Officer Chen left a letter with me."

"Go here and find him."

Bai Xiaotong handed the letter left by Chen Hai to Cheng Ye.

The latter took the unfolded document and quickly browsed through it.

Although his expression remained unchanged, he began to mutter to himself.

"What, there's still an unexpected twist?"

"Can't we go back to Changning County for the time being?"

In the letter, Chen Hai gave a general account of the situation.

Apart from the details of the case.

"I'll go find someone first and gather information."

"If you have time, you can go to the Li family in Tongmingfang, north of the city first."

Cheng put away the letter and said to Bai Xiaotong:

"Shopkeeper."

"I'd like to postpone checking out."

"As for how many days it will be extended, we'll have to wait and see."

Bai Xiaotong had anticipated this.

He was already extremely surprised when Chen Hai visited him late at night.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Hai escaped so quickly.

later.

Chen Hai also asked him some questions.

Even without getting to the bottom of it, a jack-of-all-trades could probably guess part of it.

"You and Constable Chen will probably have to stay in Nanming Prefecture for quite some time."

Cheng also chuckled softly:

Who knows?

"Perhaps my luck will continue to be good?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotong wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but then suddenly realized that what Cheng Ye said seemed to make sense.

After putting his luggage back in the room, Cheng set off for the address Chen Haixin had left.

The layout of Nanming Prefecture was such that the east was for the nobility, the north for the wealthy, the south for officials, and the west for the common people.

Arriving at Tongmingfang, although the environment was not as quiet as the residences of the nobles in the east of the city, the blue bricks on the lintels, the red pillars and carved beams, and the vermilion pavilions and carved railings that could be seen over the high walls all revealed the luxurious atmosphere of this place.

"How does Boss Chen know people who live here?"

Cheng was somewhat surprised.

soon.

He then found the only Li family in Tongmingfang.

Knock on the door.

A middle-aged man dressed as a butler came out and, upon learning Cheng Ye's identity, hurriedly and warmly invited him into the house.

"Officer Cheng, you've come at the perfect time."

"Officer Chen just got back too!"

The steward led Cheng Ye to the main hall where guests would gather.

Cheng looked up and immediately recognized the person standing next to a gaunt old man as Chen Hai, whom he hadn't seen for some time!

He strode over quickly, cupped his hands in greeting, and said happily:

"Chen Tou'er!"

"Are you alright?"

When Chen Hai saw Cheng Ye, his face was full of joy, and also showed concern:

"Is everything alright in Changning County?"

"Has anyone made things difficult for you?"
