Chapter 417 The New Magistrate
Something shifted in Sun Qian's expression. "Draft a fresh copy of the case documentation, dated six days prior to that actual incident.""This..." Zhu Guibao froze momentarily, genuinely surprised by Sun Qian's particular approach. This particular maneuver would effectively shift responsibility for the case directly back onto Shen Yanliu himself.Sun Qian continued, "Simply follow my instructions precisely. When the formal documentation reaches the provincial administration, ensure it bears the county's official seal along with my own signature. What genuine concern do you have?"Sun Qian's decision to deliberately attribute Xie Daohan's case to Shen Yanliu's tenure carried his own careful, calculated reasoning.Though Shen Yanliu had indeed advanced to his new prefectural position, overseeing criminal justice matters throughout an entire prefecture carried considerable authority.However, since Ruyang Prefecture fell entirely outside his own current jurisdiction, he genuinely wouldn
Chapter 416 Shadow over the County
At minimum, his own spiritual sea of consciousness hadn't registered any genuinely negative sensations, and his soul-based techniques continued functioning entirely normally.However, following this particular observation, Mo Qian found himself considerably more wary regarding this crimson glow going forward.He'd simply failed to properly notice its gradual growth, allowing it to achieve second-tier status unchecked. This crimson presence had already drifted uncomfortably close to the three stars. Should it continue expanding further, wouldn't it eventually resemble a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest—gradually displacing the three stars toward the sky's distant corners while claiming the central position entirely for itself?Mo Qian genuinely couldn't determine what such an outcome might ultimately signify.Regardless, he understood clearly that this crimson glow absolutely must not be permitted to continue growing further.Fortunately, Mo Qian had only absorbed the Filthy Blood tech
Chapter 415 The Spiritual Sea
Noticing Mo Qian holding his chopsticks yet remaining lost in momentary distraction, Xiao Yu glanced at him and remarked, "What's wrong? Someone's died, and suddenly you can't even properly eat your meal?"Mo Qian looked at Xiao Yu and replied, "Nothing's wrong. Aren't I eating right now?"With that, he immediately popped a piece of braised pork into his mouth.Zhu Xiaoqi's eyes flickered with sudden curiosity, glancing between the two before turning to Xiao Yu directly. "Who exactly died? What are you two discussing?"Xiao Yu laughed. "You're asking everything now? Ask him yourself."She gestured toward Mo Qian with a slight tilt of her chin.Mo Qian said, "Don't listen to Xiao Yu's teasing—who exactly died?"Xiao Yu simply smiled knowingly, remaining silent.Watching Xiao Yu's telling expression, Mo Qian understood she'd already noticed something significant. Yet he had no genuine intention of concealing anything from her. Though he and Lu Qingzhu hadn't shared genuine feelings for
Chapter 414 Shadows of Grief and Unfinished Ties
Mo Qian glanced at Ximen Kan, sensing genuine maturity had emerged within him following this particular ordeal.Shen Mizhi appeared genuinely dazed and lost. With her father, Shen Yanliu, having already departed for Ruyang Prefecture, she essentially found herself entirely alone within this particular county now. Where exactly would she even go to properly prepare her own belongings?As they continued discussing these particular arrangements, the group exited the government office's backyard, passing through the corridor beside the main hall, making their way toward the front gate.Xiao Zongting, Ximen Yong, Xia Zhongyang, Jiang Heng, and Tao Jiusong had already been waiting anxiously outside the government office's main gate, their collective anxiety mounting like ants trapped upon a heated pan...At that moment, they suddenly spotted Mo Qian, Ximen Kan, Xiao Yu, and Shen Mizhi emerging from within.Seeing Mo Qian, Ximen Kan, and Xiao Yu appear genuinely unharmed, Xiao Zongting and X
Chapter 413 The Magistrate's Inquiry
Recognizing the formal sect credentials, Ding Xingxing immediately rushed back into the county office's main hall to properly inform his superior.Along their journey, Zhu Qunxiang had already inquired with Zhang Yufu regarding the newly appointed magistrate's identity, learning that Sun Qian had entered the city earlier that same morning.Sun Qian appeared to be in his early thirties, his complexion notably dark, his frame genuinely thin, a modest goatee marking his chin. His eyes carried a distinctly refined, restrained intelligence.Upon disembarking from his carriage, Sun Qian had immediately retreated to the county office's private quarters, washing himself thoroughly before changing into proper official attire, then making his way slowly toward the main reception hall.Sun Qian settled into his designated seat within the hall.Seated behind his desk, Sun Qian surveyed the assembled staff throughout the hall. Just as he prepared to speak, he suddenly caught sounds of commotion em
Chapter 412 New Magistrate
Seated within the final cart, Mo Qian found his thoughts repeatedly drifting back to the image of Lu Qingzhu pointing her sword directly at him within the ruined temple."After today, the day we meet again shall mark your death at my hands!"That particular declaration echoed repeatedly through his mind.After a considerable while, Mo Qian studied the vast sea of clouds and the moonlight overhead, murmuring quietly to himself: "Qingzhu, mountains and rivers have already brought us together once—fate will certainly ensure our paths cross again.""Should you still intend to kill me when that particular day arrives, what if I decide to kill you instead?!"Above the drifting clouds, powerful winds raged relentlessly!Lu Qingzhu and Amo gripped the Cloud-Winged Storm Eagle's feathers firmly, seated securely upon its broad back.Lu Qingzhu turned, glancing back and downward. She spotted only misty clouds and encompassing darkness stretching below. Before she'd fully realized it, two streaks
