Great Master Liu was confused: “Ore, what ore?”

Hua Wu Xiang realised that he didn’t seem to be lying, and his eyes darkened.

“The ore in Great Bridge Mountain, where did you take it?” Envoy Zuo asked.

“The ore in Great Bridge Mountain? I didn’t take the ore!” Great Master Liu said, “When I left, the mining hadn’t started!”

“Then why did you run away?”

“Aren’t Envoy You and the others dead? So many people have died but I am still alive, that makes me look guilty!” Great Master Liu said.

Envoy You was indeed dead. Envoy Zuo felt a trace of sadness in his heart for a second, then he continued to interrogate him: “How did Envoy You and the others die? Why are they all dead and you’re still alive?”

“They were killed by forces!” When he recalled the scene of their deaths, Great Master Liu’s face showed deep fear, “Dead, dead, they’re all dead! None of them died with a complete corpse, they all died so tragically.”

Envoy Zuo glanced at Hua Wu Xiang, he knew that Hua Wu Xiang also believed Great Master Liu’s words.

“Tell me what happened from the beginning to the end, if you dare to tell me anything false…”

“I’ll speak, I’ll speak.” There was no need for threats to make an impact.

Great Master Liu told them everything that happened after he entered the mountain and didn’t leave out a single detail. It wasn’t the first time anyone in the room had heard of those things, so they weren’t shocked. What shocked them was the person Great Master Liu mentioned.

According to Great Master Liu, when he left, the mining hadn’t started, so the ore in the mountain should still be there. It took three or four days from that time to when the soldiers reported that the chill had weakened and disappeared. Therefore, that meant that the big mountain was evacuated in three or four days!

This news was so shocking that no matter who it was, or what method the person had used, was just too incredulous!

If this person was their enemy, then the consequences were unimaginable!

After Envoy Zuo had finished the interrogation, he had someone take him away, then he said to Hua Wu Xiang: “If what he said is true, then that soldier is probably not our soldier.”

“Of course not. We can’t afford to maintain such a powerful soldier.” Hua Wu Xiang sneered, “Tell him to draw a portrait of that person, he is wanted all over the world.”

“Yes!” Envoy Zuo replied: “Commander, can the closure of the city be lifted? It’s been many days and quite a number of people are starting to voice their opinions. Some umbrella loose cultivators are starting to cause trouble.”

“Let the city lord here deal with it, get rid of those who cause trouble.” Hua Wu Xiang said with indifference.

“Yes, Commander.” Envoy Zuo indicated with his eyes at the person beside him and the person went out and made the arrangements.

“No news from Nan Yu Miao yet?”

“No. They have appeared in Wu Xiang City previously, but for some reason, they were able to escape.”

Hua Wu Xiang glanced at him faintly: “Tell them to come over here to receive their punishment. If it happens again, they won’t keep their lives.”

“Yes.”

A lot of people have died in Great Bridge City over the past few days. All of a sudden, the commoners in the city were panicking and afraid that it was their turn next. Later, someone spread the news about what had happened at Great Bridge Mountain.

At Old Du’s house, he told them the news that he had heard: “You don’t know how crazy the rumours spreading outside are, I don’t know who the mysterious person is and what background he has.”

Old Man Li was startled. He recalled the days that this news had happened, wasn’t it when they were in Great Bridge Mountain? They also went to the mines at that time. Did they do this?

If it was really them, and they had emptied the entire Ore vein in three to four days, then their strength…

He glanced at Sima You Yue who was drinking tea calmly and didn’t seem to care about this matter at all.

“By the way, I brought back a portrait of that person, you can take a look.” Old Du took out a portrait, the person on the portrait was exactly as Sima You Yue’s disguise.

It seemed that Hua Wu Xiang had captured Great Master Liu. Sima You Yue was silent for a while, but she was not worried. Based on this portrait, no one would suspect her.

Old Man Li also looked at the portrait. He had never seen that person in the portrait before, and the person bore no resemblance to Sima You Yue. However, in his heart, he still felt that she was somehow involved in this matter.

Sima You Yue took the portrait and looked at it. She pouted and said: “This person looks so uncough. Has his ident.i.ty been announced?”

“It’s said that he is someone within the army, but upon checking, it seems that the army doesn’t have such a powerful person. Everyone said that it must be a disguise.”

Old Man Li disagreed, he thought that the person must have been swapped. Only if a person had been swapped could there be such a big change.

Once this idea took root in his heart, it began to grow wildly and he was unable to suppress it. He looked at her, he wondered what he would do if it was really her. If they were discovered, would they be able to keep their lives? The last time they had only faced those people, however, this time, it was Hua Wu Xiang.

“I don’t know why Hua Wu Xiang is staying here for such a long time this time. The Talent Trials are over and the person who stole the ore is not here. What is he still doing here?” Old Du complained. “If he doesn’t leave, the city closure won’t end and we can’t go out. It’s so annoying.”

Old Man Li glanced at Sima You Yue and thought, why would Hua Wu Xiang leave when she was still here?

Sima You Yue had noticed Old Man Li’s glances for a while, but she didn’t pay any attention to it. She handed the portrait over to Old Du and said: “We have stayed here for quite some time, we shan’t bother you in the future.”

Although Old Du had been looking forward to her leaving since he had advanced, he hadn’t expected her to leave. It caught him a little off guard.

Sima You Yue said to Old Man Li: “Uncle Li, let’s part here too. You don’t have to come with us in the days to follow.”

“Young Miss You Yue?” Old Man Li looked at her in surprise, he hadn’t expected her to leave so soon.

Had she realised what he had been thinking?

“I think that Hua Wu Xiang will discover that I am here soon. If you continue to follow me, I’m afraid you will be in danger. It’s better if we part here.” Sima You Yue insisted, and Old Man Li didn’t refuse.

However, he actually breathed a sigh of relief silently from the bottom of his heart.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu left Old Du’s house and went to stay at an inn. There was no way for them to conceal their whereabouts, and that night, the inn was surrounded.

When Sima You Yue saw Old Du standing behind the soldiers, she was utterly disappointed: “I thought that as we were once acquainted, we would meet and part on good terms.. If you insist on courting death, then you can’t blame me. Where’s Uncle Li?”
