"Go to the governnt office to find out the result? Are you sure it’s not coercive interrogation?" Lu Hong raised an eyebrow, coldly staring at the handso tomboy in front of him.
The tomboy governnt officer chuckled, "Stealing Official Silver and daring to openly sell it at a pawnshop, completely disregarding our great Song dynasty, truly reckless. Today, you must go to the governnt office!"
Saying this, the tomboy drew a steel knife from his waist, and the montum of the First Transition Second Level suddenly erupted, forming a faint ripple of air around him.
To be able to exhibit such a magical aura with the First Transition Second Level, one must say, this tomboy indeed has so cultivation potential, but sadly, with the world’s suppression, without going out, they’ll likely stop here in this lifeti.
"What if I refuse?" Lu Hong still did not take this threat seriously, looking composed.
"Seeking death!" The tomboy’s temper was not good either, imdiately wielding the steel knife, slashing towards Lu Hong’s head.
The originally brain-splattering scene did not occur; the tomboy’s eyes showed astonishnt, as the steel knife, despite the full exertion of his power, was caught between two fingers of the other party.
"You...!" The tomboy was shocked, seeing that he couldn’t remove the steel knife clamped by Lu Hong, he imdiately decided to let go and put so distance between himself and Lu Hong.
anwhile, the governnt officer standing behind Lu Hong stealthily ca up and stabbed towards Lu Hong’s back.
Lu Hong certainly felt such poorly concealed murderous intent, turned and gave a kick, sending both person and knife flying a hundred ters.
The governnt officer fell heavily to the ground, fainting.
"Xiao Yang!" The tomboy imdiately shouted anxiously, but received no response.
"You killed him!" The tomboy thought his companion dead, imdiately glaring at Lu Hong: "The great Song dynasty will not forgive you, neither will our God Catcher agency! Even if you are a Foreign Clan mber, you will definitely be executed on the Song dynasty’s Dragon Execution Platform!"
Dragon Execution Platform? This low-level dynasty actually has such a domineering na thing, it doesn’t quite fit!
Lu Hong chuckled, "You can calm down, I an no harm; he just fainted, not in mortal danger, you can check for yourself if you don’t believe ."
Saying this, Lu Hong stepped aside, showing no aggression.
Upon hearing, the tomboy hesitated, but worried for his companion’s safety, quickly passed by Lu Hong to reach Xiao Yang’s side.
After investigation, the tomboy visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Lu Hong with a softened gaze, saying, "Thank you for showing rcy."
Lu Hong nodded, "Can we talk properly now?"
"Senior, the theft of Official Silver has enraged His Majesty; he ordered our God Catcher agency to solve the case within a deadline. Therefore, I offended you; please forgive . However... you being able to produce slted gold nuggets makes you the pri suspect, and the God Catcher agency won’t stop pursuing you, even if you are not the true culprit of this theft."
Upon hearing the tomboy’s words, Lu Hong understood that he was determined to be made a scapegoat.
"What if I can help you track down the culprit?"
"This..." The tomboy hesitated briefly, then shook his head, saying, "This matter is of great importance, not sothing I can decide; I must consult the Sect Leader."
"Alright." With nothing better to do, Lu Hong nodded, "Take to your God Catcher agency."
Upon hearing, the tomboy was speechless, looked at the fainted Xiao Yang on the ground, feeling he suffered the kick for nothing.
The tomboy carried the unconscious Xiao Yang, leading Lu Hong all the way to the most powerful institution under the Imperial Authority—the God Catcher agency.
This God Catcher agency was not only tasked with capturing thieves; its original purpose was to deal with all cultivators, perspectives, and outsiders entering this dinsion.
All affairs related to cultivators within the Song dynasty would be handled by this specialized departnt.
Therefore, this God Catcher agency gathers the top-tier geniuses of this world.
As he entered the God Catcher agency, looking at these vigorous constables, Lu Hong couldn’t help but sigh again; these are all people held back by the world!
After the tomboy’s consultation, Lu Hong quickly got permission to reach the small courtyard where the God Catcher agency Sect Leader was.
At this ti, the Sect Leader was drinking and conversing with a man in luxurious attire; upon Lu Hong’s arrival, he pointed to a vacant spot beside him, "Stand there and wait."
Then, he ignored Lu Hong and continued conversing with the man in the luxurious attire.
Lu Hong naturally was unhappy about this, his face darkening.
The tomboy saw Lu Hong’s displeasure, quickly tugged on Lu Hong’s clothes, whispering, "Don’t be impulsive; the Sect Leader isn’t intentionally neglecting you; it’s just that gentleman is of the direct line of the Gao family, incredibly noble, even His Majesty would bow three tis upon seeing him."
"Gao family? The Gao family of the Broad Domain?"
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s query, the tomboy nodded, "Nonsense, who else dares call themselves the Gao family."
There are countless families across all worlds, and those surnad Gao are not just one family. But not everyone can call themselves by their surna; only the strongest family of each surna can be called by their surna when traversing the worlds.
Speaking of this Gao family, Lu Hong indeed knows two acquaintances, one is Gao Yue, and the other is his recruited subordinate, Gao Yi.
Thinking of this, Lu Hong went forward to the table where the two were drinking.
Upon seeing Lu Hong’s sudden approach, the Sect Leader of the God Catcher agency’s face imdiately darkened, pointing at Lu Hong and scolding, "Who told you to co forward? Get back!"
Lu Hong didn’t even glance at the Sect Leader, his gaze locked onto the direct descendant of the Gao family.
Feeling Lu Hong’s gaze, the originally proud direct descendant of the Gao family suddenly felt a hint of panic; he felt an invisible aura emanating from the man before him, an aura only felt before from top geniuses across various clans.
Could it be, the man before him is a top genius from the outside world?
Aura doesn’t lie and is hardly forgeable; as a direct descendant of the Gao family, his vision and experience far surpass ordinary people, and he cherishes his life more than ordinary people.
"Are you here to see ?" The Gao family’s direct descendant opened with a smile.
Lu Hong nodded, "Do you know Gao Yi?"
"Gao Yi?!" The Gao family’s direct descendant was surprised, Gao Yi was one of the best talents in their Gao family; upon hearing the other asking for Gao Yi, he imdiately asked alertly, "Why are you looking for Yi-ge?"
"Nothing much, if you can contact Gao Yi, just tell him his elder brother is here, let him co by."
"Elder brother?!!!"
At Lu Hong’s words, the Gao family’s direct descendant almost bit his own tongue; Gao Yi’s elder brother? He’s never heard of this before, but... looking at the man’s indifferent expression, showing no sign of lying.
Could he truly be Gao Yi’s elder brother?
The Gao family’s direct descendant pondered for a while, then said, "Actually Yi-ge is within this Imperial City."
"Oh? Why is he here?"
"Seems it’s related to so matter with the Constant Domain; he was punished by the family, tasked with so trivial family matters, coincidentally the purple berries ripen, so Yi-ge was sent to gather them for family gatherings."
"Alright." Lu Hong nodded, surprised he crossed paths with his forrly recruited subordinate here, quite lucky indeed.
Suddenly, Lu Hong thought of Lock Fan, his foremost subordinate, and wondered how he and Lai Li were doing; he had conducted searches but even with substantial manpower couldn’t locate them in the Star Sea, as if Lock Fan and Lai Li had vanished.
"Sigh!" Lu Hong sighed heavily, then said to the Gao family’s direct descendant, "Summon Gao Yi to see ."
"This... although Lu Hong’s deanor made his words highly credible, the Gao family’s direct descendant still dared not disturb Gao Yi’s ditation cultivation without good reason, worried the man before him might deceive him.
"Go ahead, I believe he’ll be happy to see ."
"Alright!" The Gao family’s direct descendant gritted his teeth and stood to leave.
