Profound Bird Guard Main Hall!

Mo Ronghua’s silhouette appeared outside the door, striding swiftly inside.

When Mo Ronghua saw the young man sitting ahead, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

I didn’t expect it to really be this person who came.

Good fellow, Lu Xuan truly is someone who surprises him time and again.

He just took out that old guy Luo Jin, and now he boldly appears in Jingtai Prefecture.

Lu Xuan’s demeanor clearly shows he is fearless, not afraid of being discovered.

"Old Lu, what wind has brought you to me?"

Mo Ronghua had just walked in when Mo Qingyi followed closely behind, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Xuan, seemingly pondering what purpose he had in coming to Jingtai Prefecture.

Upon seeing Mo Ronghua, Lu Xuan casually revealed a smile.

After all, Lu Xuan had some matters to ask of old Mo later, so he must maintain a polite attitude.

"Old Mo, I’m just attending to some small matters, happened to pass by Jingtai Prefecture."

"Thinking this is your territory, I decided to visit you."

Mo Ronghua walked directly over to Lu Xuan, and sat down heavily beside him.

"Small matters?"

"Old Lu, you really know how to joke."

"What are small matters to you, for others, they would be major issues."

If assassinating the inspector of an entire prefecture can be considered a small matter, then there truly aren’t any major issues left in the world.

Lu Xuan did not refute Mo Ronghua’s words, merely smiled casually.

Then, Lu Xuan got straight to the point and revealed his true intentions.

"Old Mo, to be frank, I have an important favor to ask of you."

Upon hearing these words, Mo Ronghua involuntarily leaned back in his seat, a foreboding feeling creeping in.

"Old Lu, with your extraordinary abilities, there’s an important favor you need from me?"

"You wouldn’t be thinking of...?"

In the span of a breath, countless thoughts flashed through Mo Ronghua’s mind.

In the end, there was only one thought that seemed quite possible.

Lu Xuan must be aiming for his Heavenly Spirit Objects again.

"Old Mo, this time I’ve come to Jingtai Prefecture to borrow some Heavenly Spirit Objects."

"Of course, it’s under the name of White Dao Prefecture, it absolutely won’t put you in any bind."

"Later, when you lend me these Heavenly Spirit Objects, just record them in the Profound Bird Guard archives as usual."

Mo Ronghua displayed a ’just as expected’ expression, for he knew Lu Xuan came for the Heavenly Spirit Objects.

Otherwise, what could an Inner Qi Realm Martial Artist like him possibly have that Lu Xuan would covet?

To Lu Xuan’s surprise, Mo Ronghua showed no reluctance whatsoever.

Instead, he straightforwardly agreed, as if those Heavenly Spirit Objects weren’t his.

"Old Lu, you’re treating me like an outsider."

"Given that you’ve asked, how could I refuse?"

"As it happens, I have four mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Objects here, and I’ll just keep one for backup."

"The remaining three mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Objects, I’ll give to you altogether."

"I’ll also give you fifteen lower-grade Heavenly Spirit Objects."

"Old Lu, is this sufficient? If not, I can see about squeezing out more for you."

"Huh?"

Lu Xuan glanced at Mo Ronghua suspiciously, his straightforward manner startled Lu Xuan.

Not only Lu Xuan, even Mo Qingyi, silently observing from the side, was dumbfounded by Mo Ronghua’s words.

What has come over her father?

Mo Qingyi’s beautiful eyes widened, lips slightly parted, as if she were meeting her father for the first time.

Mo Ronghua certainly had his calculations.

After all, Lu Xuan was borrowing Heavenly Spirit Objects under the Profound Bird Guard’s name, and they needed to be recorded in the Guard’s archives.

So naturally, Mo Ronghua was exceedingly generous, since the objects weren’t really his; if Lu Xuan wanted to borrow, Mo Ronghua was bound to consent.

Eventually, the Black Feather Guards would inspect the archives and look for Lu Xuan.

Whether Lu Xuan returns them is his business; it has nothing to do with Mo Ronghua.

Lu Xuan didn’t think too much of it, readily agreeing.

"Well, old Mo, I definitely didn’t misjudge you."

"Consider this as me owing you a favor."

"This is sufficient, let’s follow your suggestion, no need to add anymore."

From the moment Lu Xuan arrived, the smile on Mo Ronghua’s old face never faded.

"Hahaha."

"Old Lu, you’re too kind, this is just a trivial matter."

"If these Heavenly Spirit Objects aren’t enough, feel free to come to me."

"The next batch of Heavenly Spirit Objects will be arriving soon."

Taking Heavenly Spirit Objects from the Profound Bird Guard to gain Lu Xuan’s favor.

This transaction is invaluable for Mo Ronghua.

It’s not easy to earn a favor from an Outer Gang Grandmaster.

Besides, Lu Xuan is a martial prodigy with boundless potential.

He will undoubtedly reach the realm of the Shenfu Master soon.

Having achieved his purpose in coming here, Lu Xuan suddenly thought of the anomaly he was concerned about.

"By the way, old Mo, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"Today, when I was entering the city, I noticed a strange anomaly here, could you look into it for me?"

"Please check the Prefect’s information and his son Xiao Chenliang’s information."

The word ’anomaly’ brought a serious expression upon Mo Ronghua’s face, replacing his previous smile.

"Anomaly?"

Sitting across, Mo Qingyi also quietly murmured: "An anomaly appearing in the prefecture city?"

"Why hasn’t the government sent someone to notify our Profound Bird Guard?"

Lu Xuan had no intention of hiding and directly shared what he knew.

"Yes, this anomaly is very special, in my carelessness, she managed to escape."

Mo Ronghua quickly grasped the key point, staring at Lu Xuan in shock.

"Wait, old Lu, do you mean."

"That anomaly ran into you and escaped from your grasp?"

What sort of anomaly could escape the clutches of an Outer Gang Grandmaster?

"Yes, if I’ve estimated correctly, that anomaly should be an evil-grade anomaly!"

Mo Ronghua and Mo Qingyi instantly unsettled, quickly springing from their seats.

"Evil-grade anomaly!"

"How can that be!"

"If it’s an evil-grade anomaly, its Yin energy would definitely permeate the entire prefecture city."

"Why haven’t I sensed any trace of an anomalous aura!"

Unlike Mo Ronghua and Mo Qingyi’s apprehension, Lu Xuan remained unperturbed.

"Old Mo, that’s the peculiarity of that anomaly!"

"That anomaly seems connected to a person named Zhang Yingxue."

"It possesses human-like intelligence, knows how to conceal its Yin energy, avoiding detection by outsiders."
