Chapter 890: Chapter 558: Process_2

Xu Yuan’s gaze was clear, his words sincere:

"Bringing extra things when leaving home is always better to be prepared, this shouldn’t be illegal, right?"

".... It’s not illegal."

Muttering softly, Xu Mengxi then silently lowered her head as her long ponytail swayed behind, seemingly expressing bewilderment.

Although the gentleman in the brocade robe had the demeanor of a noble, his actions were mysteriously underhanded.

He was willing to draw his sword to help those in injustice, but when it came to specific actions, they seemed rather petty.

Indeed a strange person....

Qin Weishu’s life was quickly secured under Xu Mengxi’s professional handling.

However, just after treating the injury, Xu Mengxi heard a man’s voice nearby:

"Oh right, you should be carrying the Locking Primordial Shackles, right?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mengxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes subtly.

This young master of a distinguished family, although powerful, seemed overly cautious.

Thinking so, Xu Mengxi still silently reached under her clothes and took out a pair of iron shackles, locking Qin Weishu’s hands behind his back.

After finishing, Xu Mengxi stood up and asked unconsciously:

"Young Master, is it satisfactory now?"

Xu Yuan hesitated slightly, scanning the surrounding soul mist that gently stirred, and spoke softly:

"There is still one guard outside monitoring Qin Weishu."

Xu Mengxi recalled the attack that had almost pierced through her chest and frowned:

"That licentious woman?"

Xu Yuan nodded and said:

"Yes, although her senses are unlikely to penetrate my soul mist barrier, as a Great Grandmaster, it’s best we create some Qi Mechanisms to pretend we are still in a magical duel."

Looking at the serious contemplation of the man in front of her, Xu Mengxi’s lips slightly curled up:

"Young Master does act cautiously... but now there’s no need."

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked:

"What happened?"

Xu Mengxi didn’t answer immediately, instead, she delicately reached under her ceremonial skirt but did not remove the object inside. After a few moments, she softly said:

"Colleagues from the Secret Investigation Department and City Defense Office have arrived."

"....."

Xu Yuan unconsciously raised his eyebrow.

With the soul mist enveloping them, how did this woman receive external information?

As the thought crossed his mind, Xu Yuan did not hesitate to sweep his Spiritual Vision towards the inside of the woman officer’s clothes.

Then,

his expression suddenly turned serious.

As Xu Mengxi had set up a layer of Will-spirit protection, however, this protection was virtually nonexistent against his Spiritual Vision.

Through the soul barrier, a purple crystalline body was faintly trembling.

Hesitating slightly, Xu Yuan still infused his Spiritual Vision to inspect it.

What he discovered made his pupils shrink suddenly.

The purple crystalline body, although differently shaped, had Formation Patterns identical to the communication Magic Artifact on Big Ice Lump!

What did this mean?

Ran Qingmo was a disciple of the Sect Alliance leader, while Xu Mengxi belonged to the direct lineage of the Royalist Party. Why would they have Magic Artifacts with the same type of Formation Patterns?

A coincidence?

Impossible.

His sister once mentioned that Magic Artifacts were precision objects that erred by a sliver but deviated by miles.

The likelihood that two people independently developed the same Formation Patterns was about as likely as being struck by lightning several times in a thunderstorm.

His thoughts raced, and Xu Yuan’s heartbeat unconsciously sped up a bit.

This kind of communication Magic Artifact was supposed to be top secret within the Sect Alliance.

Had it not been for Big Ice Lump’s naive exposure of this Magic Artifact, they might still be unaware of its existence.

And now this top-secret item appeared in the hands of someone from the Royalist Party’s direct lineage.

That meant,

Had the Imperial Family and the higher-ups of the Sects already begun cooperating secretly?

This accidental discovery made Xu Yuan’s scalp tingle.

In silence, Xu Yuan quickly gathered his thoughts, showing no signs of discovery, and replied with a light laugh:

"They have already arrived, shall I then disperse this soul mist?"

Xu Mengxi turned her head, her eyes curving into a smile:

"Of course, a predecessor from the Primordial Realm of the Secret Investigation Department has arrived."

Speaking, Xu Mengxi seemed quite pleased, thankful for having incarcerated a lawless rogue, her supple ponytail swaying behind her:

"I’m greatly indebted to you for your help, Young Master. I will remember this favor."

Xu Yuan shook his head noncommittally:

"Your favor, huh..... hehe."

Hearing this slightly teasing remark, Xu Mengxi instinctively turned back, her gaze sharply intense for a moment, and said with a smile:

"Young Master seems to think I wouldn’t return a favor?"

Xu Yuan unhesitatingly said:

"Your reputation isn’t exactly favorable. I have heard how you once sent a superior who had saved your life into the imperial prison."

"....."

Hearing this, Xu Mengxi clearly paused.

Her eyes slowly drooping, the formerly cheerful grace on her face gradually faded. She glanced sideways at the ground, murmuring softly:

"So... it’s because of that incident...."

Seeing this, Xu Yuan smiled gently, breaking the awkwardness:

"However, I can still accept favors. Could you do something for me?"

Pausing, Xu Yuan continued:

"Hmm... something that doesn’t break the law or defy public morality."

Recalling the sorrowful matter, Xu Mengxi still seemed somewhat subdued, but upon hearing this, she forced a small smile, responding:

"Alright, what would you like me to do, Young Master?"

"For now, nothing. I will inform you if there’s a need in the future."

Waving his hand, Xu Yuan dispersed the soul mist and went on in a low voice:

"Now, should I accompany you to the Secret Investigation[NEXT_PAG[WATERMARK]

As a prison that had existed for a millennium, the imperial jail occupied a vast territory, divided into numerous areas, vast and complex.
