Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 390 - 367: Where Did Zhang San Go?

Chapter 390: Chapter 367: Where Did Zhang San Go?

Hu Xingxiang arrived at her aunt’s new home at Hundred Flowers Fang.

As soon as she entered, she noticed not only was her aunt present, but the other five Great Demon elders too.

"Xiang’er is here, come in and have a seat."

Hu Xingxiang, holding a food box, walked in, smiling as she greeted the elders.

"Aunt, greetings to all the elders, I’ve brought some tasty treats from home for everyone to try."

Lord Steel, who had been lying down, sat up instantly, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and laughed, "Xiang’er has come!"

White Lotus Saintess asked, "Xiang’er, I heard that Zhang San ran into trouble? And that he was put on the wanted list by Kaihuang himself?"

Hu Xingxiang, serving the food to everyone, nodded slightly.

"That’s why I want to ask the elders for help to see if there’s any way we can help Zhang San."

Blue Dragon cleared his throat and said, "Xiang’er, we know you’re quite fond of that human, Zhang San, and indeed, we previously thought well of him too. But the situation is different now, this Zhang San is wanted by Kaihuang himself. The severity of this matter... it’s not something that can be resolved by calling on a good relationship with someone anymore!"

Lord Steel, stuffing cake into his mouth, said, "Not just you, we all can’t do much to help either!"

Chrysanthemum Demon also nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, it’s not that the elders won’t help you, after all Zhang San has helped us before, and we understand the principle of repaying kindness. But now that Kaihuang has personally spoken up, if we help Zhang San, we’d be making an enemy of Kaihuang. No one can afford the consequences of that!"

At this point, all the transformed Great Demons present fell silent.

Lady White suddenly sighed, looked at Hu Xingxiang, and said, "Xiang’er, you are even more beautiful than I am and perfectly transformed; your future is limitless. As someone who has been through it all, let me tell you something—men are plentiful! If one doesn’t work out, find another."

Just then, White Lotus Saintess said coldly, "So you switch them out every day?"

Lady White glared at White Lotus Saintess.

Aunt Nine coughed softly, causing the two old rivals to stop their quarrel.

Aunt Nine looked at her niece and said, "The seriousness of the matter has already been mentioned by the elders, but we aren’t forcing you to do anything specific. It’s just that you really need to think it through for yourself."

Hu Xingxiang bowed and saluted the elders present.

"Xiang’er thanks all the elders. Although I am not old or strong, and not as wise as everyone here, but..."

"I fancy Zhang San and want to be his woman, unwavering to death, through thick and thin. Having chosen him, I will follow him for life."

"Where in the world does the man face calamity and the woman abandon him? Although I’m not human, I’ve always tried to learn how to be one."

"Xiang’er will never implicate the elders, and if it’s difficult for the elders to help, Xiang’er herself will find a way to assist San Lang."

After Hu Xingxiang finished speaking, Aunt Nine laughed, looked at the other five Great Demons present, and stretched out her hand, saying, "You all have lost! The things you promised earlier, don’t back out later!"

Lady White smiled bitterly, "Fine, I’ll give it, it’s no big deal! It’s just, few in this world would show such affection and loyalty, yet your niece can."

White Lotus Saintess smiled and said, "Good girl, Xiang’er. Here, these are all the pieces of information gathered by the two fangs of the Demon Clan."

Hu Xingxiang immediately went over and received a brand-new scroll with both hands.

Then Blue Dragon said, "Zhang San is now hiding in the Stone Buddha Temple, but after all, you are a demon. If you go, you might easily be detected by the Stone Buddha in the temple. That Stone Buddha grew up with Kaihuang and is endowed with the Qi Luck of the Imperial Path, plus there’s a powerful being stationed there. Find a trustworthy human friend to deliver this information to Zhang San. The information in here may not be able to completely clear Zhang San of the accusations, but it should be of some help to him."

After Hu Xingxiang put away the scroll, she bowed to all the elders present, expressed her gratitude, and then immediately ran out.

Watching Hu Xingxiang leave, Lady White couldn’t help but sigh.

"Sometimes I really don’t understand, whether it is us, the demons, who are in human form, or those so-called humans who are beasts in human skin."

...

Meanwhile, in the Town Martial Office, Vermilion Bird, who had still not found Zhang San, communicated with Azure Dragon in the east and teleported back a wooden object that resembled a huge table.

Atop the woodcraft was a map showing the distribution of various Fangs within the Capital.

The Town Martial Office had sealed off the entire Capital Region Road since last night and had searched every place around the Capital.

Yet there was still no clue of Zhang San.

Therefore, Vermilion Bird concluded that Zhang San must be hiding within Daxing City.

For this reason, they specifically requested this woodcraft from Azure Dragon.

Using the scent on the Horizontal Blade, the Storage Ring, and the Gluttonous Bag left behind by Zhang San, they began searching for Zhang San’s traces within Daxing City.

...

In the Town Demon Office, Principal Officer Zhang Datui had specially dispatched someone to rush to invite a Spiritual Platform Realm Peak expert skilled in tracking from Longyou Road overnight.

However, because of the rush, when this expert arrived at the Town Demon Office in the afternoon, they were utterly exhausted.

"Principal Officer Zhang Datui, may I take a rest first?"

"No! Capturing the criminal is urgent! Don’t worry, this person should be hiding within the Capital. Here is an arrowhead, it is said to be the evidence left behind when Zhang San killed Wen Rulie of the Wen Family. You should be able to deduce Zhang San’s current location from the karma on this arrowhead, right?"

The expert brought back sighed helplessly.

They also knew that Zhang Datui of the Town Demon Office was the most difficult to communicate with, so with no choice, they nodded.

Zhang Datui glanced at Wen Ruyu beside him, who immediately offered the arrowhead that she had stealthily pulled out from Wen Rulie’s body with both hands.

The deducing expert sat down, opened the brocade box, placed the arrow with dried bloodstains in the palm of their left hand, slightly closed their eyes, and their right hand began to calculate.

At first, the calculations were slow.

But suddenly, the speed of the right hand’s calculations became faster and faster, so fast that eventually, several fingers even began to cast shadows.

"Found it!"

Zhang Datui was overjoyed, and Wen Ruyu beside him was also excited.

"At the Zheng Family mansion, in a small courtyard behind the main house, he is currently lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun, drinking Healing Medicine?"

The Spiritual Platform Realm powerhouse slowly opened their eyes, glanced at Wen Ruyu and Zhang Datui beside them, and said, "Something doesn’t seem right, are you sure this arrow was used by Zhang San to kill Wen Rulie? Why does this person seem like someone from the Zheng Family?"

Wen Ruyu’s eyes widened as she looked at the arrow in the hands of the deducing expert, already guessing who Wen Rulie had really died at the hands of.

"Principal Officer, I think the Zheng Family lied initially. However, it’s not an issue. Zheng Poyue was gravely injured by Zhang San to the point of near death. I will take people with me now to bring him in, using his blood as bait to deduce again," she said.

The deducing expert immediately said, "Near death is not dead; the karmic ties aren’t that strong, so one might need to consume a large amount of blood to deduce Zhang San’s location."

Wen Ruyu sneered, "It doesn’t matter."
