My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading-Chapter 293: My List Of Enemies Is Getting Longer

Commander Cheng prided himself on his ability to read people. He wasn't some god-like being who could decipher a person's intentions at a glance, but he had a knack for picking up on subtle body language.

And right now, Xiao Yun's behavior made him suspect that the young man beside him was telling the truth, or at least, to some extent. Not that he was fully convinced. It was a little too far-fetched for a complete stranger to suddenly appear, armed with all of Xiao Yun's dirty secrets.

Still, if there was evidence, it wouldn't hurt to check. Catching a corrupt guard would earn him recognition, and maybe even a nice bonus. That was always worth considering.

Regardless, the way Xiao Yun reacted only deepened his suspicions. Commander Cheng tightened his grip on the man's arm, his eyes narrowing.

"For both our sakes, don't try anything stupid, Xiao Yun."

Xiao Yun swallowed hard. The murderous intent in the air was suffocating. He had no doubt that if he made one wrong move, Commander Cheng would end his life on the spot. And he had no illusions about the commander's ability to do so.

Despite both being in the Dao Seeking realm, Commander Cheng was not only several stages above Xiao Yun but also far superior in combat prowess. Even if both of them were at the same cultivation realm, Commander Cheng could kill him with a flick of his sleeve.

Xiao Yun only nodded in response.

"Good," Commander Cheng said. "Lead the way to your house. I don't have all day."

Xiao Yun cast one last glance at Feng Fan, whose infuriating smile only deepened his hatred. If he ever got the chance, he would make sure to kill this prick in front of him. But for now, he had no choice but to comply. Begrudgingly, he began moving toward his home. With their level of cultivation, the distance could hardly be considered far.

Throughout the entire journey, Commander Cheng never loosened his grip on Xiao Yun's arm. It was clear he already believed him guilty, and that realization only made Xiao Yun sink further into despair.

To make matters worse, Feng Fan strolled alongside them, tossing out casual remarks that only fueled Xiao Yun's rage. The girls followed them. While Huang Xue and Xue Qiang showed little reaction, Su Xiaoli struggled to hold back her laughter, clearly enjoying Xiao Yun's suffering.

'How does this bastard have such an infuriating talent for getting under my skin?' Xiao Yun seethed inwardly, cursing his misfortune.

Xiao Yun did everything he could to stall their journey. He knew there were people who, while unwilling to help him, would step in if given enough time. After all, the information he had stored was damning, and those implicated would do whatever it took to ensure it never saw the light of day.

Of course, that didn't mean they would actually save him. Once the evidence was destroyed, they would likely silence him as well. But as long as he could escape his current predicament, there was still a sliver of hope—an opportunity to slip away might present itself.

Unfortunately for him, Commander Cheng had no patience for delays. With an iron grip and a commanding presence, he forced Xiao Yun to move quickly, leaving him almost no room to stall.

As they finally arrived at Xiao Yun's home, Feng Fan was momentarily stunned. This was no ordinary guard's residence!

The lavish mansion stood close to the inner city, far exceeding what a guard's salary could reasonably afford. While it couldn't compare to the estates of nobles or wealthy merchants, it was still an impressive property.

Commander Cheng's expression darkened. Had he seen this mansion before the accusations, he might not have thought much of it. After all, cultivators often had alternative ways to earn money, and while a guard's salary wasn't low for someone at their level, it certainly wasn't high enough for such luxury.

But now, given the circumstances, the sight of this mansion all but confirmed it—Xiao Yun had to be taking bribes!

"Commander Cheng, it seems Xiao Yun has more dirt on his hands than we thought. You'd best not touch him too much, or no matter how many showers you take, you'll never wash the stench off," Feng Fan said, shaking his head with an expression of disappointment.

Xiao Yun clenched his fists, itching to slap Feng Fan across the face, but he didn't dare. With Commander Cheng's iron grip holding him in place, any rash movement would only hasten his death.

Commander Cheng, ignoring Feng Fan's theatrics, turned to him with a sharp gaze. "Since you claim to know where the evidence is, lead the way."

Before Feng Fan could respond, a voice cut through the tense atmosphere.

"Stop right there!"

Xiao Yun's expression brightened instantly. His lifeline had arrived!

Commander Cheng, on the other hand, looked anything but pleased at the newcomer's interruption.

"Qin Cai, what do you want?" he asked coldly, his grip on Xiao Yun tightening. "This is none of your business."

The man who had spoken—Qin Cai—stood with four subordinates at his back, his expression unreadable. He seemed entirely unbothered by Cheng's hostility.

"Cheng Fengge," Qin Cai said smoothly, a faint smile tugging at his lips, "I'm the one responsible for investigating corruption inside the city's guards. Hand Xiao Yun over to me."

From the moment Qin Cai arrived, Feng Fan sensed something was off. The man's gaze lingered on him briefly, and the displeasure etched on his face was impossible to miss.

Trusting his instincts, Feng Fan connected his mind with him, probing into Qin Cai's thoughts.

'That damn Xiao Yun… daring to keep records of his dealings. I'll make sure both him and any evidence he left behind vanish for good,' Qin Cai thought, though his expression remained perfectly composed.

Feng Fan's lips curled into a knowing smile. 'Just as I suspected… looks like my list of enemies is getting longer.'

Since he had already antagonized Qin Cai, there was no point in being polite. He had no doubt that Qin Cai wouldn't show him any leniency, given that he seemed to know too much.
