71: Chapter 71 You guys get bored too.

"Senior Brother Zhang makes a valid point. That child, Zhihui, truly would not lie indiscriminately," Song Lin chimed in.

As soon as these words were spoken, the corners of many people present twitched slightly.

They only believed that much of it.

Even City Lord Ji Ze had heard a thing or two about the reputations of these two playboy Disciples.

Regarding this, he had instructed Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun to keep his Disciple in check; as for Song Lin's praise, not a single word could be trusted.

However, from these words, City Lord Ji Ze could tell that his two Junior Brothers had indeed joined forces.

"Then what do my two Junior Brothers mean by this?" City Lord Ji Ze asked.

"Start with this person and investigate thoroughly." Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun's gaze fell upon Lin Ming as he spoke.

Not a demonic cultivator? Then, at worst, we will simply turn him into one.

"How do you intend to investigate?" City Lord Ji Ze continued to ask.

"Just hand this person over to me and our fourth Junior Brother. We have our own ways to investigate thoroughly," Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun continued.

"No," Second Senior Sister Qin Lu shook her head and said.

This matter could not be handed over to those two. Once it fell into their hands, wouldn't everything be decided solely by them?

This was something Second Senior Sister Qin Lu could not allow.

"Our City Patrol Bureau has already investigated this person thoroughly; there will be no problems," Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen spoke up.

The initiative of the situation had clearly been seized by Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun, and he could not let this matter continue to develop this way.

"Investigated thoroughly? I do not believe your City Patrol Bureau is capable of investigating thoroughly. It is better to let us re-examine him. If this person is truly related to demonic cultivators, it is not something we can bear," Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun said with resounding force.

"Third Senior Brother is right. We must treat everything related to demonic cultivators seriously. Don't forget the orders from Yuanxu Mountain," Song Yushu also directly invoked Yuanxu Mountain.

"Investigation is possible, but I will investigate with you," Second Senior Sister Qin Lu said.

Since they had even brought up Yuanxu Mountain, it was evident that they were determined to intervene in this matter, which made Second Senior Sister Qin Lu conclude that they would tamper with things.

She could not let them succeed.

"No problem," Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun laughed.

As long as this matter was settled, he would have plenty of ways to frame this person, and by then, nothing would be up to them anymore.

Junior Sister is still too young.

City Lord Ji Ze sighed inwardly; his Junior Sister was still too young and had fallen straight into Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun's trap.

However, Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun was indeed correct on one point: the matter of demonic cultivators must be treated with caution.

One could also take this opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation of Tianyuan City; in a sense, it could also be considered a good thing.

But for this pair, it was an unprovoked disaster.

He must find a way to protect the two of them.

The situation was under the control of this man named Zhang.

Lin Ming's gaze fell upon Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun; this guy actually had some ability.

"Senior Brother, what do you think?" Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun looked at City Lord Ji Ze and said.

"The matter of demonic cultivators must indeed be investigated thoroughly," City Lord Ji Ze nodded and said.

"I will investigate this matter myself."

City Lord Ji Ze still wanted to keep the initiative of this matter in his own hands.

"Then we shall assist you, Senior Brother," Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun laughed.

So far, everything was within his expectations.

But likewise, his intentions had been seen through by City Lord Ji Ze; from here on, it would depend on who made the first move.

"Take these few people away, lock them up, and interrogate them thoroughly," Song Yushu said.

The matter had been decided, so Lin Ming and his companion present, along with Zhang Zhihui and Song Lin, were now all prisoners.

Prisoners should look like prisoners.

"Correct," Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun nodded.

At this moment, Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen's gaze fell upon Lin Ming. Surely he didn't still want to hide his identity, did he?

Even if he wanted to hide it, he probably wouldn't be able to.

Many people in the City Patrol Bureau, as well as the jailers in the prison, all knew Lin Ming's identity.

Furthermore, Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen did not want Lin Ming to continue hiding his identity. After all, if there was no result for the time being, he would definitely be reprimanded by the City Lord.

At the same time, he did not want to waste this opportunity.

"You all are quite boring," Lin Ming spoke up.

He swept his gaze across the crowd and said to them.

This boring game of chess made him feel a bit uninterested.

He didn't have the time to continue playing this game with them now.

"Oh? Do you mean to say that you are related to demonic cultivators?" Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun looked at Lin Ming and said.

He had to make Lin Ming wear this label.

"Old thing, which word of mine said I was related to demonic cultivators? If your ears are deaf, go and get them treated properly," Lin Ming said expressionlessly.

"Hmph, I hope you can still say these words later," Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun said coldly.

He would not be provoked by these few words.

In his eyes, Lin Ming's fate was already sealed; he wouldn't bother arguing too much with a dead man.

"Someone, take these two away and lock them up," Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun said.

Immediately, a few people walked out and headed towards Lin Ming and his companion.

Seeing this, Lin Ming couldn't be bothered to waste any more words and directly revealed his token—the token of Yuanxu Mountain.

In an instant, the expressions of Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun and the others froze.

They suspected that something was wrong with their eyes, or that they had seen it wrong.

This is the token of Yuanxu Mountain?

What is going on?

Zhang Zhihui saw the token Lin Ming revealed and simultaneously noticed his uncle's expression.

This guy, he wouldn't really have some kind of background, would he?

A bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.

That's it.

Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen saw Lin Ming reveal the token, and a subtle, imperceptible smile flashed across his face.

From now on, the situation would be completely different.

"Tianyuan City Lord Ji Ze, greets the High Cultivator of Yuanxu Mountain," City Lord Ji Ze was the first to react.

It couldn't be wrong.

It was the token.

The person before him was indeed a High Cultivator from Yuanxu Mountain.

Now, Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen's actions could be explained clearly; he must have known Lin Ming's identity, which was why he was so fearless in coming to arrest people.

A High Cultivator of Yuanxu Mountain?

Zhang Zhihui's vision went black, and he couldn't stop himself from collapsing to the ground.

This person is a Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain?

How could he be a Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain?

Zhang Zhihui had always thought that Lin Ming was just a Disciple from a small sect.

But a Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain was different.

A Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain was not someone he, Zhang Zhihui, could afford to offend.

Song Lin, who was on the side, was no better off.

His whole body couldn't stop trembling.

A Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain—where did he get the guts to harass a Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain?

If he had known that Lin Ming and the others were Disciples of Yuanxu Mountain, he would have guaranteed that he would have stayed as far away as possible.

It's all Zhang Zhihui's fault.

Song Lin also blamed everything on Zhang Zhihui.

If it weren't for him, what was happening now might not have occurred.

"What? Do you not believe my identity?" Lin Ming looked at Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun and Song Yushu with a smile.
