Rebirth: Holding on to the golden thigh and showing off
Chapter 12 Stolen Goods (Part )
Xuan Qingli took out a golden token with a double dragon pattern carved on it and the word "Supervision" in the middle.
Yan Bin's attitude immediately changed when he saw it. "So it's the elder of the Supervisory Yuan. I'm very sorry. We will make way for him immediately."
The Supervisory Council was established by the sect and the kingdom together, and is responsible for supervising, investigating, and handling the human cultivators in the Fuxing Continent.
Those who can become elders of the Supervisory Yuan must go through layers of review and be approved by a majority vote of the founders.
Many people don't want to confront the Supervisory Commission. Everyone has some gray areas, and even if there aren't any, it's annoying.
I don't know what this token stands for, but it wants us to leave immediately? No way!
"We are not in a hurry. We will wait until you find the stolen items before leaving, so that you won't wrongly accuse good people again."
Yan Bin had no choice but to get off the car and watch the spiritual officer check the carriage and storage ring.
The post station gradually became empty, leaving only the mercenary group, a white carriage, a blue carriage, Yan Bin's carriage and us.
The white carriage was carrying a pair of sisters, who were pretty and graceful, and whose highest cultivation level was in the late stage of foundation building.
The blue carriage carries a family of three. The two-year-old boy is sleeping soundly in his mother's arms, and his father's cultivation has reached the great perfection of foundation building.
They were resting together at the inn at the beginning, so they were the most suspicious.
The first people the spiritual officer asked were the two sisters, "Excuse me, fairies, where are you from and where are you going?"
"My name is Xia Lian, my sister is Xia Yi, and I am the disciple of the immortal Wen Su in Lehua Palace. I need to go home because of something at home." said Xia Lian, who was wearing a goose yellow robe.
"This is our token. We have met the Young Master of Baihua Sect once, but I don't know if you can remember it." Xia Lian took out the token with "Lehua Palace" printed on it.
"Yes, I have met Sister Xia Lian and Sister Xia Yi." Zhu Xian'er smiled sweetly.
The mercenaries around were all staring at the beautiful woman with her charming appearance.
The spiritual officer then questioned the family of three.
"I'm Li Chengrui, a branch of Prime Minister Li. I went to the capital to seek medical treatment for my young child who was ill." Li Chengrui hugged his wife's shoulders tightly.
The spiritual officer finally asked the mercenaries, "Do you know what item was lost?"
The leader of the mercenaries, Cheng Ye, shook his head. "I don't know. The box is protected by a magic circle and can't be opened at all. We planned to rest for a night before setting off again and leave someone to guard it. In the morning, we found that the box was empty."
The spiritual officer walked around the box and checked carefully, "Who was on duty last night? Did they hear or see anything?"
I looked at the box. It was just an ordinary wooden box, nothing special about it.
"Let's take a closer look."
Xuan Qingli followed me closer to the wooden box. I walked around the box and examined it carefully. There seemed to be a faint fishy smell, very faint.
A piece of white fluff was also found behind a pillar not far from the wooden box.
I returned to Xuan Qingli's shoulder and asked softly, "Do you smell anything?"
He felt it carefully and said, "No."
There are so many people here now that it’s not convenient for me to take out the fluff, so I want to go back to the carriage and show it to Xuan Qingli.
The spiritual officer was still asking about the details of the mercenaries, Yan Bin was trying to show his courtesy to Zhu Xian'er, and Xuan'er was circling around Yan Bin, looking at Zhu Xian'er with gritted teeth.
We were the most leisurely ones, drinking tea, eating cakes and watching the show.
At this time, a spiritual officer came on horseback and took out a white search bear. When the bear stood up, it was almost as tall as Xuan Qingli, which was a bit scary.
The spiritual officer brought the search bear to the wooden box and directed it to sniff the smell inside.
The search bear sniffed the box for a long time, then walked around the box a few times, and then stayed for a long time at the pillar where I found the white fluff.
The spiritual officer found nothing around the pillar because I had taken the fluff.
The search bear then walked towards the sisters, circled around them a few times, then walked towards the family of three, circled around them a few times and walked away again.
Then it walked up to us, sniffed, walked out of the inn, and sat down at the edge of the misty forest.
"The thief finally entered the misty forest and sought his own death." The spiritual officer took back the search bear.
After searching the storage rings of the sisters and the carriage of the family of three, they let them go. As for the mercenaries, they returned to the capital of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom with the spiritual officer to report.
"The stolen items are just left unresolved?" I asked Xuan Qingli.
"It's easy to get into the foggy forest but hard to get out. It's basically assumed that the criminal is no longer there."
"Ah, doesn't that mean that many bad guys just run into the misty forest after committing crimes?"
"It is indeed possible, but it is very difficult to survive in the misty forest. Only very few people escape here as a last resort." Xuan Qingli stared at the misty forest.
Everyone else continued on their way, leaving only us and Yanbin and the others.
"I wonder what the elders of the Supervisory Yuan are called?" Yan Bin asked Xuan Qingli.
"Just call me Elder Qing."
"Where are you going, Elder Qing? If it's on your way, I can do my best to play host." He wanted to establish good relations with the elders of the Supervisory Yuan.
"No need. People with different ideals cannot work together." I refused on behalf of Xuan Qingli. I knew he would refuse too.
"Then Elder Qing, we'll take our leave." Yan Bin was choked by me and walked towards the carriage with a stiff face.
He thought that his status as the second prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom would please us, but unexpectedly, Xuan Qingli didn't care about the status at all, so I won't care about his status either.
"You two country bumpkins. Brother Bin was kind enough to give you a ride, but you didn't appreciate it." Xuan'er was very angry when she saw that we rejected Yan Bin.
"Thank you so much for your kindness. Hurry up and catch up with your brother Bin, otherwise he will leave." I waved goodbye to her.
Xuan'er wanted to say something, but due to her status as an elder in our Inspectorate, she just glared at me and chased after Yan Bin.
Zhu Xian'er glanced at Xuan Qingli and turned away.
We also returned to the carriage, "Did anything happen between you and Zhu Xian'er?"
Xuan Qingli recalled carefully and shook her head, "No."
"Then why does she keep looking at you?" There must be something going on between the two of them.
"Maybe you think I look kind."
I stopped talking to him about Zhu Xian'er and took out the white fluff I found at the post station. "I found this behind the pillar near the wooden box."
Xuan Qingli took the white fur and observed it carefully. "This is the fur of a white fox. The theft this time is related to the demon race."
He immediately took out rice paper and ink, wrote on three sheets of paper, and then took out three messenger hummingbirds to send letters to the Buddhist Sect, the Supervisory Council, and the Qinglong Kingdom respectively.
"Is this matter serious?" Only now did I realize the seriousness of the problem.
Xuan Qingli nodded, "The demon tribe sent a white fox that is good at illusion array to sneak into the Fire Sparrow Country for such a long time without being discovered. Someone is working with the demon tribe from the inside and outside. This item is very important to the demon tribe."
The conflict between the demon clan and human cultivators has been going on for more than a day or two, but there are actually people who are cooperating with the demon clan in private. I don’t know how many such people there are. This is a serious matter.
With Xuan Qingli's current cultivation level, it is very difficult to track down the case, so she can only report it.
Therefore, our primary goal now is to improve our cultivation.
Only when you are strong enough can you have the right to speak.
