Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 399 - 374: Hu Xingxiang is Kidnapped!

Chapter 399: Chapter 374: Hu Xingxiang is Kidnapped!

"Zhang Datui, are you daft? The last ones in the Town Martial Office you should provoke are those four Hidden Principal Officers. Even Li Moxian might not take it personally if you provoke him, but why on earth would you provoke a Hidden Principal Officer? I, myself, wouldn’t dare to provoke them!"

In the Town Demon Office, Chief Qianshan, in a fit of anger, threw the documents on the desk at Zhang Datui.

Zhang Datui took a step forward, cupped his hands together, and said, "I was just trying to catch Zhang San; I didn’t intend to cause trouble! Moreover, it was Vermilion Bird, that woman, who was relentless and attacked me first! I barely fought back; I was really restrained!"

Chief Qianshan glared at Zhang Datui and angrily said, "You wish you could fight back, do you think you can defeat her? She is one of Town Martial Office’s Hidden Principal Officers, and furthermore, it’s Vermilion Bird!"

The more Chief Qianshan thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Vermilion Bird was originally an attendant by Kaihuang’s side, said to have grown up together with him, practically childhood sweethearts! And you even went in front of Kaihuang. It’s a surprise Kaihuang didn’t kill you!"

Zhang Datui took another step forward, intending to say something, but after a thought, he stepped back again.

"I have very important matters to attend to recently. Find a way to catch Zhang San! It would be best to catch him today. Do you hear me?"

Zhang Datui pursed his lips and kept silent.

Seeing that Zhang Datui remained silent and that he had thrown everything on the desk already, this time Chief Qianshan directly picked up the desk and hurled it at Zhang Datui.

With a bang, the desk smashed on Zhang Datui, shattering completely upon impact.

"Did you hear me? Catch Zhang San today!"

Zhang Datui took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Chief Qianshan, it’s not that we aren’t trying our best. We can’t find him! To find Zhang San, we almost drained Zheng Poyue from the Zheng Family, who had just recovered from his injuries."

Chief Qianshan looked at the other two Principal Officers beside him and angrily said, "Only Zhang Datui has a voice. What about you two?"

Baili Tu, with his head lowered and speaking indifferently said, "Last time we caught Zhang San, I was in the office. But after the royal tribunal was over, I still don’t know what happened. Chief Qianshan, if our Town Demon Office doesn’t trust Baili Tu anymore, there’s no need to let me know what needs to be done. Lest later, if things don’t succeed, you blame it on me."

Chief Qianshan knew that ever since members of the Baili Family began joining the Town Martial Office, the Baili Family had been cast out by everyone.

"Chief Qianshan, if someone had informed me last time, the two Principal Officers from our Town Demon Office could have intervened. Even if one was entangled by Vermilion Bird, the other could have surely taken down Zhang San of the True Core Realm, right?"

"Moreover, with my Baili Family’s Observation Skill, even if Zhang San used techniques to flee and others couldn’t find him, couldn’t I?"

At this moment, a masked female Principal Officer, who had been silent, smiled and said, "I do have a method. As the saying goes, ’You can run from the monk, but not from the temple!’ Didn’t Zhang San buy a large mansion? Many of his friends and family live there. If we catch these people, wouldn’t Zhang San have to show up?"

Baili Tu glanced at the female Principal Officer beside him.

"Sai Baihua, capturing young ones to threaten a Divine Beast might work on Longyou Road against the All Things Path, but this here is Capital Region Road, right under the Emperor’s watch. It’s better if our Town Demon Office maintains some dignity in our actions."

Chief Qianshan said in a deep voice, "Although this method indeed tarnishes our image... but it’s truly effective! Perhaps..."

Baili Tu cupped his hands together and said, "My body feels unwell, perhaps because I’ve been running around recently looking for concubines and got a bit worn out. I’ll take my leave now; you may discuss slowly."

Saying this, Baili Tu turned around and left.

Already distrusted and now being asked to employ such deplorable tactics, one didn’t need to think hard to know who would end up having to execute them.

Baili Tu wasn’t foolish; he certainly wouldn’t do it.

After Baili Tu had left, Sai Baihua turned to Zhang Datui with a smile and said, "If the Chief doesn’t object, it might be tough for Big Brother Zhang to go and capture the person!"

Zhang Datui glared at Sai Baihua and angrily said, "Zhang San’s friends are all from the Town Martial Office! How bold do you think I am, daring to capture people from the Town Martial Office!"

"But there is one person who is not from the Town Martial Office, the woman who saved Zhang San when he was surrounded and attacked on Shouyang Mountain. I heard this woman and Zhang San are very close, inseparable."

"So close they’ve already turned to milk...oh... like paint...ah... what exactly is their relationship?" Qian Shanxiu almost misheard but managed to recover in time.

"I’ve investigated, and even though they sleep in separate rooms, the woman’s name is Hu Xingxiang, and Zhang San really cares about her. You should know, Ximen Jinxing has always shown great care for Zhang San, but still, Zhang San let such a woman live in his house, which shows her importance in Zhang San’s heart."

"Moreover, I’ve covertly observed her and found some oddities. I had someone secretly follow her for a while, and then discovered she frequently visits Jingshan Fang and Hundred Flowers Fang. I fear she might be..."

At this, Zhang Datui’s eyes lit up and he asked, "A member of the Demon Clan? But if she is from the Demon Clan, how could she not stay in those two Fangs? Mocking Wind Divine Beast is not just a decoration!"

After speaking, Qian Shanxiu and Zhang Datui exchanged glances, a thought simultaneously flashing through their minds—perfect Transformation!

The Town Demon Office stationed ten Mocking Wind Divine Beasts in the Capital to monitor all unregistered Demon Beasts inside Daxing City.

If an unregistered Demon appeared, an alert would surely be triggered.

Unless the Transformation was perfect, then in the eyes of Mocking Wind, they would appear no different from normal people and wouldn’t be identified as a member of the Demon Clan.

Sai Baihua said with a gentle smile, "Catch her today, release the news for one day, and at Three Quarters past noon tomorrow, when the execution is set, it will be enough time for Zhang San to receive the message and come to her rescue. By then, how to deal with it will depend on Zhang Datui’s skills!"

Zhang Datui, although feeling this was not very appropriate, realized that after all, it was a Demon being captured, not a human.

"Since this is the case, Zhang Datui, I’ll leave this matter in your hands! Don’t disappoint me again! I’ve been very busy lately!"

After sending Zhang Datui and Sai Baihua down, Qian Shanxiu turned and went back to tidy up his fishing gear.

Lately, he had heard that Li Moxian was always out fishing.

In fact, he hadn’t heard that guy practicing Techniques at all, yet Li Moxian’s strength was much greater than his own.

Could the secret lie in fishing?

Meanwhile, Zhang San was hiding in Aunt Nine’s house in Hundred Flowers Fang.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

Just like the darkest, dampest, and narrowest passage could become the birthplace of life.

Based on this principle, by hiding in Hundred Flowers Fang, Zhang San believed that no one would think to find him in a place where the Town Demon Office constantly sought to capture him, especially when he was right under their noses.

However, Zhang San had heard from Aunt Nine that Hu Xingxiang would come over today, so he had been waiting for her during mealtime.

He ended up waiting from morning until evening.

"Zhang San, a Flower Demon who just went out to sell flower seeds brought back news. Hu Xingxiang has been captured by the people from the Town Demon Office!"
