Chapter 376: Chapter 204: Even Zhao Beiming Has to Wait in Line

Could it be that they want their family’s elder to come out of seclusion and assassinate Li Hengsheng?

The next morning.

Hanging from the gate of Tushan City was the corpse of Ghost Wolf, with a notice below explaining the incident.

This news quickly spread throughout Tushan City.

However, the notice did not specify that the person was killed by Li Hengsheng, only that this person attempted to assassinate Lord Inspector and was then slain outside the city.

But such news was enough to cause a sensation.

Even when Lin Qizhu and his companions entered the city, they saw this news, and Lin Qizhu and his brothers all displayed expressions of shock.

They hadn’t expected the strength of the Inspection Mansion to be so formidable, capable of slaying even an Innate Powerhouse.

This made Lin Qizhu and his team have more expectations and hope for the Inspection Mansion.

Meanwhile, in Zi Wu City, Li Changqing also received this news and was quite shocked at his son’s ability to slay an Innate Powerhouse.

Postnatal Perfection slaying Innate!

His own son is truly an exceptional genius!

Li Changqing was in a great mood after reading this, so he ordered an extra dish of peanuts for everyone drinking at the tavern.

At the same time, Li Changqing obtained more intelligence from Zhen Wanshou.

He also had the small animals under Zhen Wanshou’s control deliver the intelligence to Li Hengsheng.

Luckily, Zhen Wanshou had plenty of Golden Beetles; originally, Zhen Wanshou did not want to do this, but he was compelled by the captivating stories Li Changqing told.

He recounted the story of Sun Wukong causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace before being suppressed under Five Elements Mountain, later meeting the Tang Monk, which fascinated Zhen Wanshou thoroughly.

Lin Qizhu officially joined the Inspection Mansion, becoming a Chief Constable.

Some brothers who came with him also became guards in the mansion.

With their addition, the strength of the Inspection Mansion greatly increased.

And on the afternoon of the second day, someone from the Mu Mansion came to ransom a person.

This time was different from the past; the attitude of the Mu Mansion was very humble, as Mu San wished to redeem Mu Haoming, submitting over twenty thousand taels of silver, without a single word of waste, nor any arrogance.

However, when the people of the Mu Mansion wanted to redeem Mu Xiong, they were refused by Li Hengsheng, who also explicitly stated that Mu Xiong was to be executed.

Because he committed a grave crime.

This left the people of the Mu Mansion with no words to say, and they could only leave dejectedly.

The Mu Mansion suffered a major loss, and Mu San was really angry, but for the moment, had no good solution.

They could only continue their business secretly for the time being.

At dusk.

Li Hengsheng received intelligence delivered by a squirrel again.

This method of delivering intelligence made Li Hengsheng find it somewhat ludicrous, as if it were playing house.

When Li Hengsheng read the intelligence, he narrowed his eyes.

Because the initial content of the intelligence was quite normal.

It informed him that there was a mole from the Mu Mansion among the guards of the Inspection Mansion, which did not surprise Li Hengsheng. If there were no moles from the Mu Mansion or the Hua family, that would seem unusual.

But the subsequent content was thought-provoking for Li Hengsheng.

Because it involved Lu Qiaoqiao.

Firstly, if encountered in the realm of the National Guardian Mansion, do not trust the words of Lu Qiaoqiao; she is not the real Lu Qiaoqiao.

Secondly, if Lu Qiaoqiao is seen wearing red, keep your distance from her.

Thirdly, be cautious of Luo Xiaochuan from Dao Mountain, do not trust him fully.

Reading these three pieces of information, Li Hengsheng overturned some thoughts in his heart. He originally believed that the one providing intelligence was someone from the National Guardian Mansion, but now it seemed, it might be someone he knew from before.

It’s very likely a person from the Mountain Ancient Land.

But who could it be?

Why does this person know about Lu Qiaoqiao’s matter?

Also, what does it mean that encountering Lu Qiaoqiao is not the real Lu Qiaoqiao?

And what does it mean when she’s wearing red?

Moreover, why not trust Luo Xiaochuan?

Regarding Lu Qiaoqiao from Dao Mountain, Li Hengsheng actually doesn’t know much; he only knows that Luo Xiaochuan seems to be a core figure in the entire Mountain Ancient Land, and when he returned, all the high-ranking members felt as if they’d met a stabilizing force.

Luo Xiaochuan is the core.

But why be told not to trust him?

What use can a small figure like him be to Luo Xiaochuan?

Li Hengsheng pondered and indeed found Luo Xiaochuan somewhat strange, as he had just returned and assigned him to this National Guardian Mansion as Inspector.

Knowing full well that his strength was inadequate.

Originally, Li Hengsheng thought Luo Xiaochuan was punishing him because he let Lord Zhou go, but now it seems there might be deeper intentions?

And why would he encounter Lu Qiaoqiao in the National Guardian Mansion?

Lu Qiaoqiao should be in the Long Night Ancient Kingdom, right?

“Sigh.” Li Hengsheng even felt a headache.

Since turning from a miscellaneous disciple at Wanzai Peak into a Direct Disciple, unexplained mysteries constantly revolved around him.

Brothers are not brothers, lovers are not lovers, even possibly, fathers are not fathers.

What on earth has happened to him?

Who can give him an answer?

Li Hengsheng missed Li Changqing at this moment.

Could Li Changqing answer these questions for him?

Or perhaps, even he doesn’t know?

As things proceeded as usual, while Li Hengsheng knew there was a spy from the Mu Mansion among the guards, he took no notice, nor exposed them, instead keeping this person; perhaps they might be useful.

The money obtained from the Mu Mansion and the Hua family was used by Li Hengsheng in the construction of the White Snake Dao.
