70: The pacification envoy appears, Baili Changqing

On the street.

Snow fell heavily.

Lin Qinghuang held an oil-paper umbrella, while Xie Weilou stood under it, hands tucked into his sleeves, like a rich master.

At this moment, it was as if he was the young master and Lin Qinghuang was the maid.

“You’re really acting like a rich master.”

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou, speechless.

Xie Weilou sighed, “There shouldn’t be this umbrella.”

“Why?”

Lin Qinghuang frowned.

Xie Weilou said wistfully, “If we were to share the snow today, it would count as growing old together in this life.”

“......”

Lin Qinghuang paused for a second, then immediately quickened her pace: “You like getting drenched in snow? Then you get drenched yourself!”

Xie Weilou smiled and followed her.

“What’s so good about getting drenched in snow?”

Zhang Long and the others followed behind, filled with envy.

If they could stand under Commander Lin’s oil-paper umbrella like Xie Weilou, with Commander Lin holding it for them, that would absolutely be the peak of life.

Unfortunately, they didn’t have the strength, nor the guts!

Not long after.

Everyone arrived in front of the Anping Marquis Estate.

“Do you have some business here?”

The guards at the entrance stared at Xie Weilou and the others.

Lin Qinghuang said indifferently, “The Tianquan Division is handling a case; please have Li Huai come out.”

Upon hearing this, the guard’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately said, “Please wait a moment, everyone!”

He wasn’t someone without discernment; if there were no specific instructions from above regarding certain matters, he naturally wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

Otherwise, if he truly caused big trouble, the higher-ups might be unaffected, while a small fry like him would become cannon fodder.

After a moment.

A middle-aged man dressed in black brocade robes walked out. His gaze instantly fell on Xie Weilou, and a chilling killing intent flashed deep in his eyes.

This person was Anping Marquis, Li Huayuan.

Xie Weilou stared at Li Huayuan; this person indeed had some strength, already at the Tuojiang Realm Peak, but that was all—he could be crushed with one slap!

Li Huayuan looked at Lin Qinghuang, cupped his fists, and asked, “May I ask why Commander Lin has graced my residence?”

Lin Qinghuang stated directly, “Eight young people have died recently in Tianqi City. Li Huai is a suspect, so I ask Anping Marquis to have him come out.”

“Hmm?”

Li Huayuan raised an eyebrow.

“Oh? What suspicion does this young master have?”

A displeased voice rang out, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth walked out.

He was dressed in blue brocade robes, his face gloomy, and his gaze towards Lin Qinghuang was full of disdain.

Lin Qinghuang swept her gaze over Li Huai and said indifferently, “Your eight fellow disciples died, and you had conflicts with all of them. Your suspicion is not small right now.”

Li Huai said impatiently, “This young master indeed had conflicts with those few people and always found them displeasing, but what of it? Just because they died, does it mean I must be the killer?”

Lin Qinghuang said calmly, “You are now at the late Xuanhuang Realm. The process of transplanting spirit bones must have been very painful!”

“You... what do you mean?”

Li Huai’s pupils contracted, and a hint of horror flashed deep in his eyes.

Lin Qinghuang said indifferently, “The Xuanhuang Realm is a process of bone forging. Transplanted spirit bones and one’s own bones are inherently incompatible, so after transplantation, it requires a lot of time to integrate them and make their aura the same. Only then can the spirit bone be used as the core to forge the rest of the bones.”

“Since your spirit bone was just transplanted, you were impatient to raise your cultivation, and soon, the spirit bone incompatibility will occur.”

“You...”

Li Huai’s body trembled.

“Cough cough!”

Li Huayuan lightly coughed. He looked at Lin Qinghuang: “Commander Lin’s words, why do I not quite understand them? What is spirit bone transplantation? My son recently had a breakthrough; this is because I found some elixirs for him.”

“That’s right, I recently took some elixirs, which is why my cultivation skyrocketed. Is there a problem with that?”

Li Huai immediately said.

Lin Qinghuang casually took out a bronze mirror. She said calmly, “This mirror of mine is called the Bone-Gazing Mirror, a magical artifact from the Qintian Bureau. It can test the condition of your spirit bone and all your bones. If it’s a transplanted bone, the Bone-Gazing Mirror can instantly tell. I wonder if Li Gongzi would be willing to step forward for a test?”

Li Huai’s face drastically changed, and he subconsciously took a step back. He immediately said, “I... I won’t test. Why should I test?”

Lin Qinghuang looked at Li Huayuan: “Anping Marquis, what do you say should be done about this matter?”

Li Huayuan was silent for a second, then asked, “Commander Lin, is there some misunderstanding here?”

“Let him take the test. If it’s a misunderstanding, it can naturally be resolved!”

Lin Qinghuang said calmly.

“I won’t test...”

Li Huai turned and was about to run.

He was just a fifteen-year-old youth; how much composure could he have? At this moment, he was completely flustered.

If his conscience was clear, he would naturally dare to test, but his conscience was not clear, because his spirit bone was indeed transplanted!

Lin Qinghuang took a step forward, and a powerful aura instantly locked down Li Huai.

Li Huai couldn’t move. He hurriedly said to Li Huayuan, “Father, save me...”

Boom!

Li Huayuan waved his hand, and Lin Qinghuang’s aura was dispersed.

He looked at Lin Qinghuang, frowning, “Commander Lin, this is the Anping Marquis Estate. Please give me some face. If my son truly did something, I will definitely investigate...”

“The case has already reached the Tianquan Division. Even if there’s an investigation, it’s not your turn.”

A cold voice rang out, and a middle-aged man in gray robes appeared not far away. He had a handlebar mustache, his hands clasped behind his back, and he looked at Li Huayuan expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Qinghuang immediately turned and saluted: “Greetings, Pacification Envoy.”

The Pacification Envoy of the Tianquan Division, Baili Changqing, a Dao Repository Realm Peak expert, an existence on the same level as the Grand General of the North, Mu Bei.

If the Pacification Envoy was already so powerful, then how strong must the Division Chief of the Tianquan Division be?

However, the Division Chief was extremely mysterious; even within the Tianquan Division, very few people had ever seen him.

When Li Huayuan saw Baili Changqing, his face also changed drastically, and he quickly saluted: “Greetings, Pacification Envoy.”

Baili Changqing looked at Li Huayuan expressionlessly: “Spirit bone transplantation is against the natural order; this is not a small matter. I hope Anping Marquis will voluntarily hand over the person, otherwise, if this escalates, this Envoy might have to flatten the Anping Marquis Estate.”

His tone was extremely domineering, because he possessed such strength.

Li Huayuan’s face changed drastically. He glared at Li Huai: “Rebellious son, what exactly have you done?”

He knew what Li Huai had done, but he still wanted to put on a show. Originally, he had planned to send Li Huai away, but he was still a step too late.

“I... I didn’t do anything... Father, don’t hand me over to the Tianquan Division... I don’t want to go to the Tianquan Division...”

Li Huai said with a terrified expression.

Once one entered the Tianquan Division, it was truly a fate worse than death.

Xie Weilou entered the Tianquan Division Dungeon and could still enjoy three years of comfortable life, with cabbage and tofu for every meal, which was considered incredibly fortunate.

But for others who went in, it was truly a fate worse than death, with various severe tortures; even if they didn't die, they would be stripped of a layer of skin.

Boom!

Li Huayuan waved his hand, and a force directly moved Li Huai out of the mansion.

He looked at Baili Changqing, cupping his fists, “If he is truly involved in a major case, I will certainly not cover for him!”

At the very least, with Baili Changqing here at this moment, he dared not obstruct.

Because once Baili Changqing made a move, he would truly destroy the Anping Marquis Estate; no one dared to underestimate the methods of the Tianquan Division Pacification Envoy.

“Hmm!”

Baili Changqing nodded lightly. He glanced at Xie Weilou, revealing a meaningful smile, and his figure instantly vanished from here.

“......”

Xie Weilou looked at Baili Changqing’s disappearing back and smiled calmly. This person certainly knew how to steal the limelight.

“Take the person away.”

Lin Qinghuang said calmly.

Two Captians immediately stepped forward and apprehended Li Huai.

Lin Qinghuang said to Li Huayuan, “Anping Marquis, please rest assured. If Li Huai is truly unrelated to this matter, I will release him in an hour.”

Evidently, she was confident she could find the answer within an hour.

“Thank you!”

Li Huayuan said in a deep voice.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Qinghuang waved her hand, leading everyone away.
