Chapter 2260: Chapter 1950: So, Has Lord Fan’s Injury Recovered Now?

Upon hearing Lu Yu’s words, Ji Yunmeng thought for a moment and then said, "I will personally visit the Zhen Nan Prince Manor tomorrow."

Saying this, Ji Yunmeng glanced at the damaged sealing, then coldly remarked, "Judging by the dust on the ground, this sealing has been broken for quite some time, yet none of you noticed a thing."

Immediately upon hearing Ji Yunmeng’s words, Lu Yu and the others broke into a cold sweat. The underground sealing is extremely solid, even difficult for them to destroy. For the strange to break these seals, there must have been a significant commotion.

However, now that these Earth Realm Strange have escaped, none of them detected any disturbance, which is simply unreasonable.

Lu Yu said at this moment, "Princess, I’m afraid that there might be an internal traitor in the Deceit Suppression Bureau, or perhaps a strange has infiltrated, helping these Earth Realm Strange to escape from the Demon Suppression Tower."

Ji Yunmeng said, "Regardless of the reason, the Deceit Suppression Bureau must find them before they bring disaster upon Dazhou."

Speaking to this, Ji Yunmeng’s eyes fell on Wu Feng, the director of the Investigation Bureau. Seeing Ji Yunmeng looking at him, Wu Feng quickly said, "From today onwards, we will deploy all personnel from the Investigation Bureau to find the traces of those Earth Realm Strange by any means possible."

Ji Yunmeng’s gaze once again swept across the other people, then said, "I am now heading to the Fan Mansion."

Having said this, Ji Yunmeng turned and left the Demon Suppression Tower.

Just after Ji Yunmeng left, the directors of the Deceit Suppression Bureau immediately gathered all the Deceit Suppressing Guards from the Capital city to search for the traces of those Earth Realm Strange.

All parties were very curious when they saw the sudden massive action of the Deceit Suppression Bureau, wondering what kind of evil spirits they had discovered to warrant such a grand gesture.

Meanwhile.

Fan Mansion.

Fan Yaodong was still lying in bed, but his face was glowing, looking nothing like someone seriously injured.

At this moment, a servant entered the room, "Sir, Princess Yun’an has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yaodong was slightly stunned.

Why would Ji Yunmeng come to him?

He knew Ji Yunmeng had become the commander of the Deceit Suppression Bureau, but he had only heard of it. As for what Ji Yunmeng was doing at the Deceit Suppression Bureau, he didn’t know and had no interest in finding out.

For him now, as long as he can endure the struggle between Emperor Zhou and the Empress Dowager, and wait until they settle their scores, or once the Zhen Nan Prince Manor disappears, he can return to the Deceit Suppression Bureau and have his place.

Fan Yaodong developed a bad feeling, thinking perhaps Yunmeng was coming to bring him back to the Deceit Suppression Bureau due to too many evil spirits in Dazhou?

That won’t do. He had barely managed to escape, and he certainly didn’t want to return now.

Thinking of this, Fan Yaodong hurriedly adjusted his spiritual evil and then shrank under the covers, pretending to be nearing his end. After completing all this, he spoke to the servant, "Please let the princess in."

"Yes." The servant turned and left the room.

A moment later, Ji Yunmeng and her maid entered the room. Seeing Ji Yunmeng enter, Fan Yaodong immediately pretended to be weak and said, "Greetings, Princess. I hope you forgive my transgression, as I’m still recovering from severe injuries and can’t get out of bed to pay my respects."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunmeng said indifferently, "No matter, Lord Fan prefers to lie down, then it’s fine to speak while lying."

"However, I hope that after hearing what I have to say, Lord Fan can still lie comfortably."

This...

Fan Yaodong’s heart sank, perhaps Ji Yunmeng intended to bring him back as the commander of the Deceit Suppression Bureau?

Fan Yaodong cautiously asked, "I wonder what the princess wants to say?"

Ji Yunmeng directly replied, "The Earth Realm Strange under the Demon Suppression Tower have escaped, and judging by the traces of the seal being broken, they should have escaped while Lord Fan was still the commander."

Upon hearing Ji Yunmeng’s words, Fan Yaodong’s mind was jolted, and he immediately sat up from the bed, asking with disbelief, "Is the princess speaking the truth?"

Seeing Fan Yaodong no longer pretending to be sick, Ji Yunmeng said, "Lord Fan is so surprised? Hearing about this made you recover quickly from illness. I thought you already knew those Earth Realm Strange had broken the seal, and to avoid responsibility, you pretended to be critically injured by the Wolf Demon and took the opportunity to resign as commander."

Fan Yaodong quickly said, "Princess, if I knew about this matter, I would have reported it immediately; it’s impossible to hide it until now."

Fan Yaodong understands well; these are five Earth Realm Strange, immortal and indestructible.

Fan Yaodong now understood why Ji Yunmeng came to find him, as the five Earth Realm Strange had escaped, the pressure facing the Deceit Suppression Bureau was imaginable.

Fan Yaodong suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, "Has this matter been reported to the palace?"

Ji Yunmeng said, "Not yet."

Fan Yaodong fell into silence, feeling conflicted. If this matter is not reported, and the five strange creatures cause great disaster in Dazhou, then he and the entire Deceit Suppression Bureau would become criminals?

If he reports it, however, he definitely bears responsibility; these are five Earth Realm Strange, and Deceit Suppression Bureau, as the institution to suppress strange and evil spirits, allowed five Earth Realm Strange to secretly break through the seal, if this news spreads, the Deceit Suppression Bureau will certainly be cursed by all.

Fan Yaodong thought for a moment, then asked, "What does the princess intend to do?"

Ji Yunmeng said calmly, "For now, don’t make it public, send people to search for their traces with full force, if found, seek assistance from Zhen Nan Prince Manor to see if they can be suppressed."

Seek assistance from Zhen Nan Prince Manor?

Fan Yaodong instantly realized that Ji Yunmeng would soon marry into Zhen Nan Prince Manor, being the future mistress of Zhen Nan Prince Manor, if she speaks, perhaps Zhen Nan Prince Manor will help.

But there’s still one major problem: how to find those strange creatures, who can completely transform into a human form, looking indistinguishable from humans.

The higher the realm of the strange, the more skillful they are in disguise, trying to find them from the vast sea of people is not an easy task.

While Fan Yaodong was lost in thought, Ji Yunmeng spoke, "I’m very curious about how they could break through the seal unnoticed. Does Lord Fan have any insights?"

Upon hearing Ji Yunmeng’s question, Fan Yaodong thought for a while, "Princess, this may require me to personally inspect, as we can only suspect someone actively destroyed the seal to assist those strange in escaping."

If the strange had actively broken the seal, the entire Deceit Suppression Bureau would have sensed the disturbance, but these past years, there hasn’t been any disturbance within the bureau.

Ji Yunmeng continued, "So, is Lord Fan’s injury healed now?"

Fan Yaodong smiled wryly, originally wanting to shirk responsibility, but unexpectedly, the Deceit Suppression Bureau encountered such a major event, strange escape incident he couldn’t pass on, moreover, he resigned too conveniently, which might lead people to suspect he already knew strange creatures escaped, even potentially suspecting him of colluding with them.

Fan Yaodong then said to Ji Yunmeng, "I’ve recovered, and I will return to the Deceit Suppression Bureau tomorrow, at Princess’s command."
