"What happened?"
Ji Feiyun frowned and reached out to stop the constable who was rushing forward with his head down.
The two constables saw him and imdiately stopped, saying, "Constable Ji."
Then they quickly explained what had happened when they found Guan Shanxue at the restaurant.
"Miss Guan seems to have had her acupoints sealed by soone. Her entire person can't move. We tried to help unseal her acupoints but discovered we simply couldn't do it, so... we had no choice but to carry her back."
Hearing this, Ji Feiyun's brows furrowed even deeper, "What kind of acupoints are so difficult to unseal?"
Then he waved his hand and instructed the two constables, "Put her down first. I'll try."
The two constables imdiately complied, placing the stretcher on the steps in the office courtyard.
At this ti, the situation here attracted the attention of quite a few constables from Six Doors. Before long, several constables walked over one after another.
Lying on the stretcher, Guan Shanxue sensed the footsteps from all directions. At this mont, she even wanted to die.
Ordinarily, because she had a Divine Constable father, she had always co and gone freely in this Six Doors main office.
She had high martial Dao talent, stepping into the Martial Dao Master realm at a young age. Combined with her elegant appearance and aloof temperant, who knew how many young constables in this office were willing to kneel at her feet?
Although Guan Shanxue had high standards and didn't put these people in her eyes, she enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention.
However, her usual image would undoubtedly be shattered today.
She, a dignified Martial Dao Master who had defeated all constables below Six Doors' ten great constables with no one able to match her.
Being carried back to Six Doors like this was absolutely the first ti ever!
At the sa ti, Ji Feiyun glanced at Guan Shanxue. Knowing she couldn't speak, he didn't ask much.
However, for caution's sake, he didn't rashly unseal the acupoints directly but instead circulated true qi into Guan Yinxue's body to examine the condition of her acupoints and ridians.
Before long, Ji Feiyun's expression suddenly darkened as he said in a deep voice, "Who dealt such a vicious blow? Aside from the very few acupoints related to life that are fine, all the other acupoints in her body have been sealed!"
Hearing this, the two constables beside him were imdiately shocked and hurriedly asked, "Constable Ji, what should we do?"
Ji Feiyun pondered for a while but waved his hand, "No matter. It's just that quite a few acupoints have been sealed. It'll just take more ti to unseal them."
Having said this, Ji Feiyun imdiately flicked several fingers in succession, sending out several strands of true qi rushing into several major important acupoints in Guan Shanxue's body.
However, what made him incomparably surprised was that after these true qi entered the acupoints, they had no effect whatsoever.
That wisp of qi energy sealing Guan Shanxue's acupoints was solid as a rock, seemingly impossible to shake at all.
Ji Feiyun's brows locked tightly. He imdiately circulated his true qi with full force, attempting to first break through one minor acupoint.
But after dozens of breaths passed, the result remained the sa. He simply couldn't unseal the acupoints on Guan Shanxue's body.
Ji Feiyun wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, his gaze uncertain.
He couldn't even unseal one acupoint. How much more so when Guan Shanxue's body still had so many sealed acupoints?
At this ti, quite a few Six Doors constables had gathered around. After everyone saw that sothing had happened to Guan Shanxue, they all showed anxious expressions and hurriedly asked, "Constable Ji, how is it? Why is Miss Guan still lying there not moving?"
Hearing this, Ji Feiyun was silent for a mont. However, he couldn't very well say sothing that would obviously make him lose face—that he couldn't even unseal one acupoint. He only shook his head, "The person who attacked Shanxue was too vicious. To avoid injuring her, I don't dare act rashly for now. I'm afraid we need an expert proficient in acupoint sealing to act before we can unseal the acupoints on her body."
At these words, the many young constables were imdiately alard. However, soon people gradually began pooling their ideas to think of solutions.
Either go find other constables in Six Doors for help, or seek out experts in Shangyang City skilled in acupoint sealing martial arts. Of course, so people also hurriedly went to notify that Divine Constable.
At this ti, Cang Yinyue, who had sent Li Musheng to Aurora Pavilion, also happened to return to Six Doors.
Her gaze passed over the crowd, looking toward Guan Shanxue lying on the ground stretcher. She crossed her arms leisurely and stood watching for a while.
Seeming to sense her gaze, Guan Shanxue's pupils widened, both shocked and extrely furious.
However, after Cang Yinyue stood for a while, she left as if nothing had happened, showing no intention of helping.
Seeing this, Guan Shanxue anxiously wanted to call out to her, but she simply couldn't make a sound.
Cang Yinyue had previously asked Li Musheng. The acupoints on Guan Shanxue's body would automatically unseal after twelve hours. So this woman still had quite a bit of suffering ahead!
...
Shangyang City, Aurora Pavilion.
A five-story tall building with carved beams and painted rafters on all sides sat at the very center of North Deep Ward's bustling marketplace. It was the most luxurious restaurant in the imperial capital's North Deep Ward.
However, the past scenes of voices like boiling water and guests like clouds no longer existed. Instead, the inside and outside were all surrounded by heavily guarded armored soldiers.
The current Aurora Pavilion had been requisitioned by the Tianjin Guards and was being used to house the "candidate" Seventh Princes from all over Great Li.
After completing a series of "check-in" procedures, Li Musheng also successfully entered inside.
The so-called procedures were naturally Li Musheng proving he was the Seventh Prince with relevant evidence. However, all this was handled by Cang Yinyue.
Li Musheng glanced from the side. It looked quite complicated. It wasn't that just anyone claiming to be the Seventh Prince could live in this Aurora Pavilion.
There had to be tangible evidence showing they might be the Seventh Prince lost among the common people, and they had to gain the Tianjin Guards' recognition before being registered and becoming a candidate.
"Ordinary people have no way to obtain these 'procedures.' From this, it seems that among the people in Aurora Pavilion, more or less everyone has so forces supporting them behind the scenes."
Li Musheng thought contemplatively as he followed a young eunuch wearing azure-blue robes to the assigned room.
Aurora Pavilion's building had a unique design. Tall buildings surrounded all four sides with a huge courtyard well in the middle.
In the courtyard well were rockeries and ponds as well as ornantal flowers and trees. Even in the very center was a sizable pond blooming with red lotuses.
Each floor of Aurora Pavilion had a corridor connecting all four sides. Li Musheng followed the young eunuch walking along the corridor, looking down at the courtyard well below, and nodded lightly, "The scenery is really quite good."
However, at this ti, an inopportune voice suddenly ca from the corridor ahead, "Another one coming to his death has arrived."
Hearing this, Li Musheng looked over. It was a young man with a fair, clean face, currently holding a sandalwood folding fan in his hand, casually leaning against the corridor railing.
The young eunuch heard the other party's words but pretended not to hear and didn't respond, continuing forward with eyes on his nose and nose on his heart.
At this ti, however, Li Musheng suddenly stopped and stared at the other party for a while, "I see you don't seem to have long to live!"
