Chapter 110 The Crimson Lotus Needles
After drying his hair with a towel, Mo Qian stood in his small dormitory and turned his attention back to the sensation of throwing that stone.He was afraid the accidental insight would fade before he could fix it properly in his body. He acted on instinct.He stood where he was and tossed the towel across the room. It landed squarely on the rim of the wooden plate in the corner.Mo Qian allowed himself a quiet smile. With this hidden weapon technique, he thought, he would be a force to be reckoned with.He left the dormitory quickly, walked out of the Yuanshun Escort Agency, and turned onto West Street. He rounded a corner into a narrow alley and stopped at the entrance, looked both ways, then walked into the alley he had chosen.Along the wall of the alley, a man squatted beside a small wooden box — roughly one foot and a half square, with straps on both sides that let it be worn on the chest or set against the wall. It was a needle and thread peddler's box.In those times, needles
Chapter 109 The Connection of Techniques
There was only one entrance — the arrow tower gate. A living person, no matter how skilled, could not slip into a dungeon without being detected.And what was Xie Lei's reason? Why would he carry such a dangerous criminal out on his back and saddle both himself and his uncle with that kind of ruin?The puzzle genuinely fascinated him.Mo Qian said his goodbyes to Yang Zhen and walked slowly along West Street.The street had already been searched. Shops were beginning to open and things were returning to something like normal, but the faces of everyone he passed were tense and uneasy.The search in the southern part of the city was apparently still ongoing. People on the street spoke in low voices, their eyes moving.Mo Qian walked with his head slightly down, his thoughts running steadily beneath the surface.He already knew, with quiet certainty, that the city-wide search would find nothing.Because he had already figured out where Xu Ruhu was being kept.He was in Xie Lei's own home
Chapter 108 The Impossible Escape
Yang Zhen slapped his thigh. "Right! Where did I get to last night?""You said someone snatched the prisoner, and then a shuttle dart ended up in your leg.""Did I say that?" Yang Zhen had no memory of it at all. He picked up the thread anyway, mostly to have something to talk about. "When Xu Ruhu was first arrested, several of our men were injured bringing him in. After that, they had me and Brother Lei taking turns guarding him in the dungeon.""Brother Lei had already reached the second level of internal cultivation. Even among the older constables, he is considered capable. As for me — Jie Daohan saw that I had reached the first level in less than a year and a half and that I was quick on my feet, so he decided to groom me. I was assigned to work under Brother Lei."Yang Zhen paused there for a long moment, drinking his soup and chewing his sesame cake in silence.This was the second time Yang Zhen had deliberately let something like this drop in front of Mo Qian. First level of i
Chapter 107 The Shadow of the Jailbreak
Mo Qian's chest tightened. At the escort agency gate, Jie Daohan had said escaped from prison — but it seemed the old man had not told the whole truth. Xu Ruhu had been taken by force."Were you there?" Mo Qian's eyes sharpened. The wine had mostly cleared from his head. Since Yang Zhen was injured, there was a very good chance he had been."I was there!" Yang Zhen said, his voice carrying a flash of anger. "The person who broke him out... wore black. He was carrying Xu Ruhu right past me — of course I tried to stop him! I threw myself at him, and then... a shuttle dart went straight through my calf..."Yang Zhen's words came in fragments, broken up by the wine rising in his veins — and then, mid-sentence, his head dropped onto the table.Mo Qian shook him. "Then what? How do you always stop right at the important part?"He kept shaking, but Yang Zhen was gone.Mo Qian let him be and turned his gaze to the shuttle dart lying at Yang Zhen's feet.Shuttle DartInstrument Level: EntryRe
Chapter 106 Wine and an Old Friend
Mo Qian glanced at him and understood immediately. He laughed and said, "That's right. I chose to become an apprentice dart escort. I've been training in internal cultivation for over a month now."Yang Zhen's face went blank.Even knowing Mo Qian had gone to the Yuanshun Escort Agency, he had never imagined Mo Qian could actually be taken on as an apprentice escort.To be an escort was essentially the same social standing as a constable — similar income, similar status. Though a constable had some prestige in front of ordinary people, the moment they stood before a trained escort, that swagger disappeared quickly enough."Really? That's something." Though Yang Zhen was happy for Mo Qian, there was an undercurrent of something less pleasant — because from now on, he would have no advantage to speak of in front of this person he had once looked down upon.Mo Qian noticed that Yang Zhen's smile didn't quite reach his eyes, but he was perceptive enough to understand the small feelings be
Chapter 105 The Wanted Man
The case of Xu Ruhu had already dragged on for over a month and had even stirred tension among senior figures in the sect. Then, just two hours before Fan Yuanhai arrived in Xiangu County, Xu Ruhu had been broken out of the dungeon.And Shen Yanliu was nowhere to be found. How could he not be furious, standing here with nothing but a spineless head constable who couldn't even issue a warrant?This case had ignited a fierce dispute between two elders within Taiyi Sect.That dispute had caused everything that followed to grind to a halt — no decision could be reached on how to proceed.Xu Ruhu had originally been an outer disciple of Taiyi Sect. The reason he was wanted was that he had violated and killed one of his fellow disciples.But behind that, there was another story entirely.The fellow disciple Xu Ruhu had killed was a core disciple of Taiyi Sect — the chosen successor of one of the great elders.Though this woman was gifted, she had a weakness for passion and pleasure. When Xu
