(Six updates delivered!) “You create so random thing, and we’re supposed to believe you?
Ridiculous!
Leave now, and don’t bla the Holy Sect disciples for being rude if you don’t,” said the Holy Sect gatekeeper coldly.
He was impatient and did not want to have any further contact with these outsiders.
As far as he could see, he did not think the two individuals in front of him were high-ranking inspectors of the Hidden Gate.
Old Lee, the man with glasses, shook his head helplessly upon hearing the other party’s words and carefully put the good items back into his briefcase.
Although their realm was far superior to those of the few people in front of them,
they would definitely not act against these n.
Otherwise, how would they be any different from Ye Youde?
Moreover, once a fight broke out, not only would their official hats be in jeopardy, but the mission given to them by their superiors would also fail.
The other man, who had been holding a compass, frowned but then showed a look of relief on his face after calculating sothing, and said directly,
“Old Lee, if these people won’t let us in, we’ll just wait outside.
Their leader will co to et us soon.”
Old Lee was startled, then seeing the certainty in his companion’s eyes, joy appeared on his face, “This ti, you’ve figured it out again?”
“Yes!”
With his companion’s confirmation, Old Lee relaxed.
So the two of them just stood in the corner, smoking and waiting.
The Holy Sect disciples, seeing these two smoking, were even more convinced that these n did not co from the Hidden Gate.
They looked more like swindlers of the martial arts world!
They had seen so masters before, and which master of the Hidden Gate smoked?
Of course, the Holy Leader was an exception.
…
About ten minutes later, a black rcedes-Benz slowly ca to a halt.
The driver hurriedly got out and opened the car door.
Luo Yin stepped out from the back seat, and her gaze instantly fell upon the two n smoking in the corner.
She suddenly felt sothing was amiss because, although these n looked almost like ordinary people, there was a mysterious aura about them.
Clearly, they were masters!
The man with the compass took a few puffs and then extinguished his cigarette, a smile playing on his lips, “They’ve arrived.”
Old Lee pushed up his glasses and looked up, indeed spotting a mature beautiful woman walking toward him.
When the Holy Sect gatekeepers saw Luo Yin, they imdiately saluted and said,
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
Luo Yin nodded and gestured with her hand, causing all the gatekeepers to temporarily back away.
Then, her gaze fell on the two n, and she smiled, “What brings you to my Hidden Gate?
If you are friends, feel free to visit the Holy Sect.
If enemies, no need to hide!
Let’s fight if there’s to be a fight!”
Luo Yin’s mindset had shifted by then, and her eyes even carried a hint of murderous intent.
Decisive in battle!
Old Lee stretched out his hand in a gesturing manner, “Then we will trouble the Sect Leader.”
Luo Yin nodded.
The purpose of their arrival was clear.
If they were truly enemies, these gatekeepers would not still be alive.
Of course, there was also a possibility that these visitors were negotiators.
Luo Yin led them to the Holy Sect’s eting room, which was spacious.
The three of them took their seats and tea was offered, though Luo Yin did not drink and got straight to the point, “Let introduce myself, I am Luo Yin, the Sect Leader of the Holy Sect.
With the Holy Leader away, I manage all the matters of the Holy Sect.
“The two of you have co from far away to be here today.
If there’s sothing you need to discuss, just speak frankly.
The Hidden Gate has always disliked beating around the bush.”
Old Lee appreciated Luo Yin’s directness and quickly took out the docunts and the token from his briefcase again, explaining, “We are inspectors between the Hidden Gate and the secular world, mainly handling cases where cultivators disrupt the secular world.
Three days ago, did the Hidden Gate suffer a massacre by an elder?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yin clenched her fists as past events flooded her mind!
After a long ti, she loosened her grip and nodded solemnly.
She had no doubts about their identities; she too had heard of such people, although she had never encountered them until now.
Now that such a major incident had occurred at the Hidden Gate, it would be strange if these people didn’t co out to maintain order.
Old Lee then asked, “Then I would like to know, what were the losses for the Hidden Gate this ti, so we can effectively assess the severity of the case.”
Luo Yin provided so data truthfully, naturally omitting certain information, such as the injuries to the Saintly Leader.
Upon hearing these numbers, Old Lee couldn’t help but inhale sharply; Ye Youde had indeed been ruthless.
Although they wanted to imdiately issue a warrant for Ye Youde, he was the Clan Leader of the Ye family and managed his relationships delicately with those above.
On the surface they were investigating the case, but in reality, they were cleaning up after Ye Youde, as mandated by the director of the Outer Hidden Sect’s Inspectorate, and despite their reluctance, they had to comply.
After understanding for a while, Old Lee nodded and said to Luo Yin, “Given the damage Ye Youde had caused to the Hidden Gate, the Hidden Gate also bears responsibility, so please accept these items as a token of our sentint.”
With those words, Old Lee moved his palm, and five or six brocade boxes appeared on the conference table.
The brocade boxes even emitted a faint glow, evidently of considerable value!
Old Lee stood up, snapped his fingers, and six brocade boxes opened simultaneously.
Three of them contained elixirs, their fragrance alone signifying remarkable value.
The other three brocade boxes contained various weapons and precious dicinal materials.
Such items were rare in the secular world and even in the Hidden Gate, they fetched a high price.
Old Lee believed these items would surely entice them.
Luo Yin’s eyes narrowed, sensing sothing was amiss.
It was Ye Youde who had committed the offense, so why did it feel like these supposed inspectors were compensating on his behalf?
Weren’t they here to investigate?
It felt more like they were appeasing them.
She furrowed her brow and her expression darkened, “Inspector, could you tell what exactly these items on the table an?”
Luo Yin’s voice beca sowhat cold.
Old Lee glanced at his colleague and said with a grin, “Master Luo, you misunderstand.
There’s no hidden aning.
We ca purely to investigate so matters, but we are also pained by your mishap, so we wanted to express our sentints.
Of course, if…”
Of course, the real point was coming!
Luo Yin glanced at the two n, stood up, and crossed her arms, “It seems, Inspector, there is more to your words.
We are all intelligent people here, just speak plainly.”
Old Lee’s face showed a hint of hesitation, but he finally said, “Actually, it’s nothing serious.
We ca also to reassure you that our Inspectorate is handling things, and you can rest easy.
Hereafter, the case regarding Ye Youde will be fully managed by our Inspectorate, and as for you, you just focus on your cultivation.
How does that sound?”
Luo Yin’s face showed a hint of anger!
The fox finally showed its tail!
She was just about to say sothing when suddenly, “Creak…” the door to the conference room opened.
A figure slowly appeared, followed by a cold voice:
“Sorry, I don’t think much of it!”
