Ghost Howl humd lightly, and then walked ahead, "Let’s go. The gathering of the three prominent families in Nadas City must an sothing is happening. Staying here will only add trouble."
"But don’t you want the sheepskin scroll?"
Su Chen was more anxious than Ghost Howl.
"Humph, if I could snatch it, I would have acted long ago. It’s just a three-star Beast Soul, killing him wouldn’t take much effort."
Ghost Howl said disdainfully, "But if I kill him, we won’t be able to leave the Golden Wind Empire. If there’s an ergency in the sect, I can’t bear that responsibility."
Su Chen oh’d, but then asked, "Isn’t there another way?"
"Didn’t you see trying to exchange a Basalt with him?"
Ghost Howl’s face turned cold, seemingly harboring resentnt towards Bi Luo Xiong Lie’s earlier refusal, "That old guy was so lucky, encountering a rchant from Demon Island and getting his hands on a raw piece of Thousand Crane Sandalwood."
"Demon Island? Oh right, I ant to ask, what kind of place is Demon Island?"
Su Chen followed up on the conversation.
"It’s not sothing you need to worry about. When you’re strong enough, you’ll naturally co into contact with it."
Ghost Howl replied indifferently.
The two followed the original path, leaving the Biluo Mansion, and finally turning back to look at the luxurious and grand Biluo Mansion. Su Chen followed Ghost Howl and the two disappeared at the end of the road....
"Grandfather, did you get the sheepskin scroll?"
Siger iruo stood beside Siger Hughes, softly asking.
Siger Hughes laughed heartily, looking at Bi Luo Xiong Lie still drinking on the terrace, naturally said, "Is there any task in this world that your grandfather can’t complete personally?"
Siger iruo’s beautiful eyes lit up, her expression joyful, "Grandfather is truly amazing, even soone as stubborn as Grandfather Xiong Lie couldn’t outmatch you."
Siger Hughes looked at his granddaughter with affection, stroking his beard, "Of course. However, to obtain this sheepskin scroll, I had to transfer nearly half of the military industry in Nadas City to that shrewd old man Xiong Lie. iruo, don’t disappoint your grandfather."
Siger iruo was startled, half of the weapons industry, what a huge concession! She bit her lip and then nodded solemnly, "Don’t worry, Grandfather, iruo will not disappoint you!"
Siger Hughes gazed at the fiercely ongoing Biluo Clan’s elite selection contest, murmuring, "When will our Siger Clan produce a Beast Soul Powerhouse too..."
Back at the inn, after resting for two or three hours, Su Chen couldn’t endure his thoughts and got up from the bed. He saw Ghost Howl quietly sitting by the window, looking at the bustling crowd below with a vacant expression.
"Should we go back? We can’t get the sheepskin scroll here, it’s just a waste of ti."
Su Chen said.
Ghost Howl slowly shook his head, "We wait, wait for an opportunity."
"What opportunity?"
Su Chen frowned.
"No need to ask more, just follow my arrangents."
Ghost Howl returned to an expressionless state.
Su Chen, sowhat displeased, leaned back against the headboard. In his mind, Siger iruo’s endearing sweet smile resurfaced....
In the blink of an eye, it was sunset again. Every street and alley in Nadas City had a faint shadow of dusk. Most pedestrians either went ho or returned to their inns, preparing for the even more vibrant nightlife.
Having just finished dinner, Su Chen and Ghost Howl strolled along the slightly deserted streets. Although there were fewer shouting peddlers, the various shops along the road deeply attracted Su Chen’s attention.
Occasionally encountering Westernized Nadas City residents, a few surprised voices could be heard, making Su Chen feel slightly embarrassed, while Ghost Howl remained expressionless, playing his cold role.
"Shall we check out that blacksmith shop?"
Su Chen suggested.
"No."
Ghost Howl replied curtly.
"That pharmacy looks good, should we buy so elixirs for improving Qi?"
"No."
"The jewelry and jade in that jewelry store look very beautiful."
Su Chen patiently probed.
"No."
Ghost Howl coldly said the third "no".
"If we aren’t going to look at anything or buy anything, then why are we out here?"
Su Chen complained.
"For a walk."
"..."
While Su Chen was bored to death, suddenly a shout ca from ahead, "Everyone, make way, make way!"
The already sparse crowd quickly scattered to the sides of the street, seemingly terrified of the imposing white-clad n ahead.
Su Chen frowned, but then heard Ghost Howl say in a low voice, "They’re coming for us, let’s go."
Before Su Chen could say anything, Ghost Howl grabbed him, but just as Ghost Howl was about to retreat, a ghostly white shadow suddenly appeared in front of him!
"Stop right there."
Ghost Howl’s face darkened slightly, his voice cold, "Who are you looking for?"
"Him."
The white-clad man, with golden hair and a white longsword engraved with a tiger pattern on his waist, appeared exceptionally handso. The person he pointed at was none other than Su Chen beside Ghost Howl.
"What do you want with him?"
Before the man could speak, a common-looking citizen of Nadas City ran up behind him, looking panicked, pointing at Su Chen and said tremulously, "It’s that boy who killed that strange man, it’s him!"
Imdiately, all the white-clad n rushed over, surrounding Su Chen and Ghost Howl. On both sides of the street, many onlookers quickly gathered, looking at Ghost Howl and Su Chen with mostly curious and schadenfreude expressions.
"These two outsiders must have committed so great cri, otherwise how could they alarm the White Tiger Judgnt Institute lords?"
"Didn’t you hear? That boy committed murder, it’s unbelievable, so young yet so lawless!"
"But looking at him, he doesn’t seem like an evil person, could it be a mistake?"
"Who knows, in any case, the White Tiger Judgnt Institute lords will surely handle it impartially, alas."
Hearing the gossip around him, Su Chen felt uneasy.
He didn’t know the White Tiger Judgnt Institute, but he did know the Cyan Dragon Judgnt Institute of the Auslan Empire. That was a representative institution of imperial law enforcent, not only with nurous law enforcers but also many powerful Beast Cultivators joining. Very few criminals wanted by the Judgnt Institute could escape justice. Moreover, he was currently in the Golden Wind Empire, a foreign place where he had no backing, only obliged to surrender obediently.
"Did you hear, that person accused this boy beside you of murder, I need to take him back to the Judgent Institute for investigation."
The handso white-clad man said imposingly.
Ghost Howl snorted coldly, "He’s been with all along, how could he possibly commit murder, ridiculous."
"Whether he committed murder or not will be revealed after investigation!"
The handso white-clad man coldly replied, and then signaled his subordinates with his eyes. Several white-clad n imdiately rushed forward to capture Su Chen!
Ghost Howl snorted angrily, flinging his long sleeve, creating a howling whirlwind appearing out of thin air! The few white-clad n suddenly taken by the whirlwind hurriedly scattered sideways, then drew their long swords from their waists with a clang, glancing coldly at Ghost Howl!
