I Have Medicine

Through this kind of conversation, Xi Yangyun and Gongyi Tianheng were considered to have established a preliminary friendship. Although one wouldn't go so far as to mention how close they became, at the very least, Tianheng was already a contact whom Xi Yangyun was willing to befriend. In the future, there'd probably be many more opportunities to cooperate.

Tianheng's goal was reached. Without a doubt, he was very pleased.

After sitting down again for a short time, Tianheng and Gu Zuo said their goodbyes and left.

As for Xi Yangyun and Xu Lingxiu, they obtained many benefits and each had their own things to do.

Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo travelled side by side.

After roughly getting out of the range of the Violet Tower, a hasty silhouette rushed over to bar the two people's way forward.

Gu Zuo was somewhat bewildered.

This was in broad daylight. It couldn't have been a person from Lu Jiusi's faction coming to cause them trouble, right?

Tianheng placed a hand on Gu Zuo's shoulder, and told him not to worry.

That figure stood at the ready. It was a young man who was short and small. After seeing Tianheng, he politely handed over a sealed paper scroll.

Tianheng took the paper scroll and opened it, swiftly skimming over the words within.

Gu Zuo was a bit curious: "Big brother, this is?"

Tianheng smiled and said: "An invitation from Senior Sect Brother Zhao."

Gu Zuo thought it over. Being called Senior Sect Brother Zhao, they'd have to be relatively familiar with that person. It was Captain Zhao Yuheng of a certain enforcement squadron, right? Could it be possible that that side already had some information?

Tianheng saw that Gu Zuo was puzzled, and said to him: "We'll find out once we go."

Gu Zuo nodded and went with Tianheng. They followed that short and small young man who turned towards another direction.

That way was Zhao Yuheng's residence — A comparatively large courtyard.

Only martial artists at the Immortal Realm or above could occupy small mountain tops. For Zhao Yuheng, although he was the captain of a small enforcement squadron, his strength was still only as a Xiantian stage eight Inner Sect disciple. He could only concentrate his efforts on a standard courtyard.

Of course, there were some Inner Sect disciples who burrowed their way through loopholes. For example, the venue of Duanshui Hall was Duanshui Peak. It was a solitary place that Li Duanshui secured thanks to his connections. However, that definitely didn't mean that Duanshui Peak completely belonged to Li Duanshui — Only once he broke through to the Immortal Realm and his rank changed would he be able to truly occupy it.

Returning to the topic at hand…

To put it briefly, what Gu Zuo currently saw was a large-scale courtyard that was several dozens of times larger than an ordinary Inner Sect disciple's courtyard. Looking at it from outside, it was practically a manor unto itself.

There was someone guarding the front of the courtyard. Ahead, that short and small young man went over and called out in greetings. That person naturally let him pass. Tianheng and Gu Zuo lifted their feet and went in. Although they didn't take a look around, their peripheral vision caught glimpses of the particularly beautiful scenery here. A dense ambient qi met them head-on.

Passing through several promenades, they reached the main hall.

There weren't too many other people in the building. Zhao Yuheng, who hadn't yet changed out of his enforcement clothes, seemed to have just returned not too long ago. After seeing Tianheng come in, he stood up in welcome and gave enough face.

And respect was always something given mutually.

Tianheng's face also promptly revealed a smile. He cupped his hands and sent his regards: "I've received Senior Sect Brother Zhao's summons, but I hope I haven't come too late."

The corner of Zhao Yuheng's mouth twitched with an imperceptible smile, and he nodded: "Please sit."

Gu Zuo also hurriedly came over to pay his respects.

Zhao Yuheng looked at Gu Zuo, and his expression was somewhat subtle.

Gu Zuo didn't understand too clearly, but didn't speak much. He obediently followed Tianheng and took a seat.

Tianheng held some tea and sipped a mouthful, but his words went straight to the point. He immediately asked Zhao Yuheng: "Did Senior Sect Brother Zhao discover something?"

Zhao Yuheng also had a temper that didn't like to wade through muddy waters. He heard what was said and nodded: "Indeed. There was a discovery."

Gu Zuo's interest was suddenly piqued.

Ah, there really was something! In the end, what did the enforcement squadron find?

Tianheng also cast a waiting look.

Zhao Yuheng said: "The person who ordered the assassins is called Sun Lang."

Gu Zuo thought it over.

Who was Sun Lang? Gu Zuo didn't know him…

Tianheng similarly didn't know him. The two's gazes fell upon Zhao Yuheng.

Zhao Yuheng also didn't keep them in suspense, and immediately said: "Sun Lang is a low-level pharmacist of the Pharmacist Hall. His aptitudes are also considered top-notch. In the Sect, apart from the quasi Golden-Level pharmacist Xu Lingxiu who ranks first in all aspects, there are only a few young and remarkable talents beneath him. Sun Lang is one of those talents."

Gu Zuo absolutely didn't expect that the person to be thrown out would be a pharmacist with excellent prospects!

On the contrary, he didn't feel that Zhao Yuheng lacked the skill to find the right person. Because things like scapegoats could only be substitutes of inferior quality, how could one possibly use someone of such high quality? However, he was completely unaware of any animosity or complaints between himself and Sun Lang!

In this situation, it wasn't any good for Gu Zuo to interrupt. Gongyi Tianheng was good at understanding others, and at this time, he opened his mouth on Gu Zuo's behalf: "Does this Sun Lang have anyone behind him?"

Zhao Yuheng said: “For a pharmacist with such aptitudes, there’s about seven or eight people in total. The majority are members of the Pharmacist Hall. Because he’s a rare commodity worth hoarding, he isn’t easily roped in by others. Sun Lang hasn’t yet followed another person. His heart is set on refining medicine, and it seems he wishes to be able to take that Golden-Level pharmacist as a teacher one day.”

Gu Zuo's heart suddenly thumped loudly.

— Sun Lang hadn't come over to quarrel because Xu Lingxiu wanted to recommend him to that Golden-Level pharmacist, right?

He reconsidered it, and felt it was wrong. Xu Lingxiu had this notion just recently. While they'd been targeted by Sun Lang's assassins several days ago.

Tianheng revealed a slightly astonished expression: "Senior Sect Brother Zhao is perceptive. Ah Zuo usually stays with me. As for becoming enemies with that Sun Lang, it's almost impossible."

Zhao Yuheng heard what was said, and the expression on his face turned a little strange: "I naturally understand this matter. You two can also be considered…to have extremely bad luck."

Tianheng was stern: "I'd like to hear the details."

After that, Zhao Yuheng gave them a detailed account.

For others, this affair might've been quite complicated. However, for the enforcement squadron, they had taken root within the Sect for so many years. Concerning their network, they weren't completely ignorant of the matters, big and small, throughout the Sect; especially in the field of investigating a case. If they came up empty-handed… Then, it was either a once-in-a-millennium evil genius whose good luck kept the guy hidden, or it was a "cover-up" where other reasons forced a compromise.

That Sun Lang had done this kind of thing, and his methods weren't considered sophisticated.

Inside the Sect, there existed a group of people who were normally obscure and unknown, but they would secretly receive this kind of business for murder. Basically, it was a small gang of murderers in the Inner Sect. There wasn't a leader or any definite organization. It was something of a gray area with a wide jurisdiction.

— Generally speaking, if one came across an assassin and found the other side's token, one would discover that the other side was very low-key. That person would be a regular hand at this kind of job.

The capture of the thread's end could initiate an audit. There were so many people in the Inner Sect, so there would always be traces left behind when finding someone. As the saying went, there was power in numbers. Once the enforcement squadron took action, the green light was given along all avenues. After going through a series of investigations, they followed the vine to get to the melon, leading to Sun Lang's identity.

Sun Lang, as a relatively outstanding pharmacist, was someone who originally received deferential treatment. It was a pity that he didn't rely on anyone nor was there a pillar behind him for support. On the contrary, he had some good friends, but those disciples' capabilities were insufficient. He also hadn't apprenticed to a master and didn't have relatives with powerful forces… When the enforcement squadron arrested him, they weren't polite about it at all!

Afterwards, the enforcement disciples imposed a certain degree of intimidation upon this guy who dared to quibble after being caught. There weren't any excessive methods used. Sun Lang didn't have much courage to begin with and while he hadn't yet been punished, he was already falteringly declaring his own reasons.

With so much foreshadowing, Gu Zuo was even more curious about the "extremely bad luck".

Zhao Yuheng paused: "Has Junior Sect Brother Gu previously refined pills at the Medicine Pavilion?"

Gu Zuo felt a bit discouraged, and nodded: "I took the evaluation there before."

Zhao Yuheng's eyes carried a bit of sympathy: "At that time, because Elder Huo respected you greatly, Sun Lang was already displeased. After Sun Lang saw that your medicine refining skills weren't below his, he was worried that you would affect his position. In addition, he had many previous grievances with Xu Lingxiu. However, Sun Lang vastly fell short of Xu Lingxiu's status, and was incapable of doing anything to him. As a result, his resentments were placed on you."

To put it bluntly, that Sun Lang was petty-minded and didn't want any pharmacist's level to exceed his. Originally, there were several others who were similar to him, and he wasn't too resigned. With Xu Lingxiu pressing down from above, he felt suffocated for many years. Even aside from these people, there came along Gu Zuo, a person whose potential was stronger than Sun Lang's. He basically couldn't endure it any longer! It was the soft persimmons that people chose to squeeze. Gu Zuo was a nominal disciple, and his identity was a lowly one. Sun Lang couldn't afford to provoke Xu Lingxiu, but what about Gu Zuo? So, Gu Zuo became a punching bag.

Gu Zuo: "…"

Sure enough, it was extremely bad luck. He absolutely didn't remember the guy!

Moreover, he already kept a low-profile… His big brother liked to pretend to be the pig to eat the tiger, and when he conducted himself, he wouldn't take the limelight when one shouldn't. However, just because they were playing dumb, didn't mean they were really dumb! With so much caution, someone still showed up to make trouble!

It was no wonder why Zhao Yuheng's expression was so strange.

On one side, Gu Zuo was in a helpless and furious mood. On the other side, Gongyi Tianheng was deep in thought.

One would find out from Zhao Yuheng's words. After Sun Lang was punished, he hadn't confessed to any matters pertaining to Lu Jiusi, but it was impossible for this affair to be unrelated to Lu Jiusi. Sun Lang sounded like he was only interested in saving his own neck. Could it be that they still had some other plans? This was also something they had to defend against.

After thinking it over, Tianheng said to Zhao Yuheng: "This person, Sun Lang, did such a thing. What will the enforcement squadron do to discipline him?"

Zhao Yuheng said: "Everything will be carried out according to the Sect Regulations."

Gu Zuo recalled the Sect Regulations.

It was written in Article 12: If a Sect disciple conspires to murder a fellow disciple and they aren't sworn enemies, regardless of whether they are a martial artist or pharmacist, they will be sentenced with capital punishment.

In other words, murder meant paying with one's own life!

Of course, this type of matter was only used when the other party was captured…

Tianheng seemed relieved, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes: "The enforcement squadron enforces the law impartially. Truly a model for my generation."

As a member of the enforcement squadron, Zhao Yuheng was certainly pleased once he heard these words.

After that, Tianheng lowered his voice: "Only, Senior Sect Brother Zhao, although this matter is already over, my heart is still somewhat uneasy… In the capacity of a pharmacist, when Sun Lang plotted against Ah Zuo's life, the strength of the requested killers far exceeded our own. This makes me feel rather unconvinced. I think that Sun Lang doesn't necessarily lack a backer."

Zhao Yuheng listened to Tianheng's words and his gaze slightly moved. Immediately following which, he patted Tianheng's shoulder: "This conjecture of yours is very reasonable. Rest assured, Junior Sect Brother Gongyi. Now that I've basked in the light of that Life Extension Pill of yours, the authority I possess has increased. I'll certainly pay attention for you in private. I'll also postpone that Sun Lang's execution for more time to interrogate. No matter who is backing him, he wouldn't dare act that brazenly after we get involved."

After he finished speaking, the two exchanged glances and smiled. It was a tacit, mutual understanding.

Indeed, for a weak chicken like a pharmacist, just find a few people who were Xiantian stage one or two to handle it. When Tianheng was away, one person could restrict Gu Zuo's protector while another person assassinated Gu Zuo. Why go so far as to find a Xiantian stage four martial artist? It seemed to be unfavorable to Gu Zuo, but in actuality, it might've been targeting Tianheng.

Enforcement squadrons would frequently judge cases, so how couldn't they see that there was something fishy going on? It was just that the present case had been heard, and they'd also given a verdict. If Tianheng hadn't figured this out, then the case would've been closed like this. As Tianheng had figured it out… Zhao Yuheng was rather pleased with Tianheng's IQ, and didn't mind getting a bit closer to him.

Tianheng expressed his thanks once more: "I've inconvenienced Senior Sect Brother Zhao."

While he spoke, he handed over a small gourd. Inside was naturally a top grade Revitalization Pill.

Although this gift was one used repeatedly, this didn't affect the guy's fondness for such repetition!

After that, Zhao Yuheng invited Tianheng and Gu Zuo to drink some wine.

At this feast, they found out how Zhao Yuheng relied on the Life Extension Pill to increase his authority.

First of all, what needed to be mentioned was the Disciplinary Hall's composition.

The leader was called the Disciplinary Hall's Hall Master, who was also a veteran Elder. Because the Sect needed a balance, a member of the Sect Master's bloodline would take charge under normal circumstances. That person's strength didn't reach the Atomic Realm, but the distance was normally half a step to the Atomic Realm — This was abbreviated to a half-step Atomic Realm.

After all, if they really reached the Atomic Realm, the stage of a Grand Elder, and violated any of the sect rules, wouldn't only the combination of several Grand Elders be able to hold a trial?

As a result, half-step Atomic Realms were sufficient.

After that, there were three commanders under the Disciplinary Hall's Hall Master. Each commander had three vice-commanders on their control.

A vice-commander was in charge of two enforcement squadrons. The commander was solely in charge of four squadrons — Of course, according to common sense, the enforcement squads under the vice-commander's control also had to listen to the commander's words. While the commander should've been in control of ten squads, the other six were classified in their own separation of powers and could be withdrawn.

Merely, this was according to common sense, but the true state of affairs wasn't so simple.

Then, there were the squadrons themselves.

Each enforcement squad's captain managed a number of people that didn't exceed one hundred — For Zhao Yuheng, because his background was very firm, he became an enforcement squad captain at a young age. There were fifty to sixty people under him. Among the thirty enforcement squad captains, his foundations were considered to be above average.

In the entire Disciplinary Hall, the number of people was between two to three thousand.

At first, Zhao Yueheng thought that rising to the next rank would be quite difficult. There was no way with the strength exhibited here. If he wanted to reach vice-commander or higher, without the strength of the Immortal Realm, then it was absolutely impossible. Even for an enforcement squad captain, Zhao Yuheng's Xiantian stage eight just barely reached the set standard — One needed to know that if an enforcement disciple wasn't strong, then there wasn't any way to enforce the law!

But while there was no way to get promoted, there weren't any problems with increasing one's own manpower, making preparations in advance, and fillings the gaps when there were vacancies.

The position of a Disciplinary Hall's vice-commander was a delicious cake, but what was even more interesting was that, among the presently known nine vice-commander positions, there just so happened to be an opening in the branch that Zhao Yuheng resided in! Many enforcement disciples were all thinking about it — Even though it couldn't be officially appointed, that hole could be occupied.

Zhao Yuheng was naturally no exception. Merely, it was a pity that he didn't have the right social connections.

However, Zhao Yuheng's luck also wasn't bad. He unexpectedly obtained a low grade Life Extension Pill from Tianheng's hands! This was like someone gifting him a pillow as he went to take a nap. It was simply too timely!

The more Gu Zuo listened, the curiouser he became. Could the Life Extension Pill he refined really have a use? Truth be told, this thing looked very high-end, but in fact, it could only extend the lifespan of a martial artist below the Immortal Realm. This was mostly used by people who had poor aptitudes for practicing martial arts. As for those genuine talents, it was basically useless.

Zhao Yuheng quickly talked about the following matters. At this point, his mood became a bit excited.

Because the Life Extension Pill wasn't as chicken-rib as Gu Zuo thought — Yes, talented people wouldn't use it, but didn't talents have friends and family? Most of all, after a talent became a powerhouse, could every one of his descendants and companions be martial arts geniuses like him?

Absolutely not!

In that case, the Life Extension Pill had a big use.

The boss of Zhao Yuheng's boss was their branch's commander. His powers were extraordinarily strong. At a hundred something years old, he became a high Immortal Realm character. And his crowds of wives and concubines had birthed him many sons and daughters. However, his most beloved first wife had long passed away leaving him with an eldest son. Unfortunately, he was a poorly qualified, semi-waste. Commander Zhou, known as Zhou Changqing, used many resources to upgrade his beloved eldest son's strength.

It was a pity that even though it was like this, his son, who was only twenty years younger than him, was now already over a hundred forty years old. His strength was still only at Xiantian stage seven. Moreover, forty to fifty years had already passed without even a hint of a breakthrough. It was basically impossible to reach the Immortal Realm within the remaining ten years!

Commander Zhou's emotions for his eldest son were extremely deep. How could he be willing to send off his white-haired son when he was still black-haired? Lately, he had been using his authority as a commander to make his subordinates search everywhere for prescriptions or medicinal pills that would extend one's lifespan. Merely, ending up empty-handed caused his disposition to gradually change.

When Zhao Yuheng offered the Life Extension Pill, that truly touched the bottom of his heart. It couldn't be said that the position of the vice-commander was currently left open. After leaving his post, Commander Zhou intended to directly have Zhao Yuheng take over this position!

With such a medicinal pill, Zhao Yuheng's status within the Disciplinary Hall suddenly underwent an enormous change! The difference in the change was like heaven and earth, which was also separated by a huge gutter!

Thus, how couldn't Zhao Yuheng regard Tianheng as important? He considered Tianheng his lucky star.

Gu Zuo listened to all this and was speechless.

Zhao Yuheng unexpectedly obtained such a huge benefit… It was no wonder why he was even more patient today than every time before. Zhao Yuheng's attitude towards his big brother was also several times better.

After all, benefits moved people's hearts.

Gongyi Tianheng's hand fiddled with the wine cup. His gaze was serene and deep. He appeared to still be seriously listening to Zhao Yuheng's expressed emotions.

Gu Zuo's mind suddenly moved.

He couldn't help asking in his mind: Big brother, did you know about this beforehand?

Tianheng's brows slightly rose.

[Prior to asking Zhao Yuheng for help, I've always been thinking about his requirements. The matter of that commander isn't really a secret. One would know with a few discreet inquires. With regards to this, you and I are lucky.]

Gu Zuo could't help wanting to ridicule — Of course, he would't dare to tease Tianheng.

What was this about them being lucky? It was basically the luck of his big brother's Tiandu Body… It was simply the fate of the leading role. Anything which they needed would come. Anything which they lacked would be promptly obtained. It was rather serendipitous.

Gu Zuo only silently said a sentence: Big brother is very capable.

After that, he continued eating.

Zhao Yuheng was very considerate as he received his two guests. After they ate and drunk to their hearts' content, he personally escorted Tianheng and Gu Zuo to the door. He opened his mouth and pledged: "With the authority in my hands now, I will certainly strive my hardest. If I can pry out anything from Sun Lang's mouth, I'll inform you, Junior Sect Brother Gongyi."

Tianheng naturally replied: "Many thanks, Senior Sect Brother Zhao."

Gu Zuo followed Tianheng and departed.

With Zhao Yuheng, Xi Yangyun, and Xu Lingxiu taking care of things now, he didn't believe that Lu Jiusi could target them in secret! The best scenario was that he made a stupid mistake and revealed his cloven feet. When that moment came, Xi Yangyun and Xu Lingxiu would feel his deception. They definitely wouldn't let him get away with it. Gu Zuo had nothing to worry about.

Leaving aside that Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo had obtained so many helpers, they were more or less certain about future matters. Lu Jiusi, who'd said his goodbyes in advance, was now in a really bad mood.

After he returned to his own Jiusi Pavilion, he waited until only his trusted aide remained to flick his sleeve onto a wooden chair to the side. He used qi energy to shatter that thing to pieces!

Despite his shrewdness and forbearance, the unwitted goading of Xi Yangyun and Xu Lingxiu inevitably made him gloomy.

— Too despicable!

He actually had to investigate himself with those two idiots! When their dispatched forces operated with his manpower, he had to set up new arrangements again. Otherwise, if a careless mistake was discovered, his plan of many years would be completely wasted!

After ruthlessly venting his feelings, Lu Jiusi sat down on a large chair behind him and leaned heavily into it.

This time was a miscalculation.

Although the matter of looking for assassins was one originally proposed by Sun Lang, he'd done the calculations for the level of the assassins. Based on his considerations, the one who should've had the highest strength was Xiantian stage three. Tianheng's strength surpassed ordinary martial artists of equivalent realms. This should've led to Tianheng being severely injured, but it also could've allowed Tianheng and the others to stand their ground for a period of time. By the time bystanders discovered signs of activity and came to the rescue, Tianheng and Gu Zuo wouldn't have died. However, Tianheng would've greatly lost face — Even crippling his meridians was also possible.

Yet, Sun Lang, that stupid thing, replaced the Xiantian stage three with a Xiantian stage four!

This was obviously an attempt on Gu Zuo's life!

In the end, however, Gongyi Tianheng and company killed all the assassins. This let him discover that he had still mistakenly estimated Tianheng's strength…

If it was only this, then it would've been fine. At the very least, Gu Zuo was still safe and sound. He had many other ways of dealing with Tianheng. The hidden hand he used would definitely play a big role in the future.

However, Tianheng had immediately taken this matter and told Xi Yangyun and Xu Lingxiu. This momentarily put him in a passive state, and mobilizing the manpower under his control wasn't good.

Just as he was thinking about how to enact the schemes in his mind, someone suddenly came to report from outside.

Lu Jiusi impatiently waved his hand, allowing the person to enter.

After that person came in, he immediately bowed and saluted. He opened his mouth and plainly said: "Pavilion Master, Sun Lang was taken away by an enforcement squadron!"

Lu Jiusi stood up at once, and a palm smashed a table to pieces: "What did you say?" His heart suddenly boiled up with a surge of anger, "An enforcement squad? How did he get involved with an enforcement squad?"

The person who arrived was also part of Lu Jiusi's trusted aides. Having heard what was said, he promptly stated: "Yesterday, an enforcement squadron was investigating the details of a case in the Inner Sect. Although we took note of it, we didn't realize that it was actually…" His tone became ambiguous, "…This event. We also don't know what methods they used, but they had verified this matter within four hours, and Sun Lang was captured. Currently, Sun Lang was arrested and placed within the Disciplinary Hall. He has already been questioned via torture."

Lu Jiusi's fingers squeezed the armrests of the large chair. His voice was gloomy: "Then, what did he say? What did our person say?"

That trusted aide replied: "Our hidden seed within the Disciplinary Hall seized an opportunity to entice Sun Lang so that he wouldn't reveal the Pavilion Master's full name. Sun Lang believes that the Pavilion Master is still thinking of a way to save him. Naturally, he won't disclose the truth."

Lu Jiusi's fingers loosened: "Have the hidden seed find a chance to kill him!"

The trusted aide hesitated somewhat: "Sun Lang's medicine refining skills are extremely strong. Won't the Pavilion Master think it over?"

Lu Jiusi sneered and said: "Stupid and impulsive. No matter how good his aptitudes are, it's useless! He's petty-minded, and unlikely to have too many accomplishments in the future. I've been coming up with this plan for a long time. If it's leaked by him, then it'll hard to avoid drawing people's suspicions. My previous reputation will also be damaged somewhat… He seriously isn't worth it."

The trusted aide understood clearly, and responded: "This subordinate will have that person act at once."

Lu Jiusi nodded his head. After that, he recalled something and asked: "Which enforcement squadron was responsible for capturing Sun Lang?"

The trusted aide replied: "The enforcement squadron led by Zhao Yuheng."

Lu Jiusi pondered: "Zhao Yuheng? He has a bit of fame, but he shouldn't be of any cause for concern. There aren't many people in his control, so how could he investigate Sun Lang so fast?"

The trusted aide also recalled this matter, and promptly reported: "Zhao Yuheng is very different now. According to the hidden seed's report, he offered a type of medicinal pill to Commander Zhou Changqing, which resolved his desperate situation. Currently, Zhao Yuheng is already a potential candidate for the vice-commander post. When he went to investigate the matter of Sun Lang this time, he brought no less than three enforcement squadrons. Besides the ones from his own branch, he also borrowed people from Commander Zhou. This was how he was so fast."

Lu Jiusi's voice dropped: "Why had Zhao Yuheng investigated this case, which shouldn't have attracted people's attention, with such fanfare?"

The trusted aide said: "Based on the hidden seed's words, Gongyi Tianheng had formerly sought out Zhao Yuheng to report a case to the authorities…"

Lu Jiusi's expression suddenly changed: "—Gongyi Tianheng?"

That youngster had the capabilities to make Zhao Yuheng work for him?

The trusted aide's expression was also grave: "It really is him."

Lu Jiusi contemplated for a short time.

Immediately following which, he raised his head and solemnly said: "Order the hidden seed to deeply investigate this matter. It must be fully clarified. How did the friendship between Zhao Yuheng and Gongyi Tianheng come about?"

The trusted aide naturally complied immediately. After that, he hurriedly turned around and bustled away.

After he left, Lu Jiusi closed his eyes.

"It looks like I still underestimated that Gongyi Tianheng."
