Chapter 121: Stepping Through Iron Shoes Without Finding Anywhere

This night Zhuo Qingqing was on guard until the second half of the night before she switched shifts and went to sleep, by the time she was practicing, the demand for sleep wasn’t much. However, when she woke up in the morning, she saw that Xue Mu had already finished practicing his martial arts skills early and was sitting in the house, holding a pill and studying it.

He was really quite diligent, looking at this situation, he was afraid that he had gotten up before dawn and hadn’t slept for long.

Zhuo Qingqing immediately recognized his hand that is the Star Moon Sect’s own unique Pure Moon Dan, the effect of one, specifically to lift the fire of desire burning body, whether it is the body of obscene poison triggered, or in the charm triggered, the effect of this pill are very good. After all, the Star Moon Sect research charming art, and perennial with the Acacia Sect each other, dealing with this kind of broken thing has always been a very high standard.

“Gongzi this is ……”

“Oh, this is Black Jiao Blood, I absorbed a little bit of it and parsed it with Poison Kung Fu, and I feel that this stuff is very powerful.” Xue Mu smiled and handed over a jade bottle, “Someone like me who built his foundation with Poison Skill, absorbing a drop of it made me feel hot and dry, that instinctive desire is almost impossible to suppress with my true qi. In other people’s words …… I reckon that even if your cultivation dabbles a little you’ll have to take an antidote, it’s hard to expel the poison on your own.”

Zhuo Qingqing curiously took the jade bottle and smelled it, instantly a hot current surged from her belly to her whole body, she blushed and put down the bottle, took several deep breaths before calming down, “No need to dip it, it’s hard to endure even a single sniff.”

Xue Mu nodded, “This Black Jiao does have a bit of a doorway …… I reckon that if this obscene poison can be used well, not even strong questioners may be immune to it.”

Zhuo Qingqing laughed: “Gongzi wouldn’t want to use it against the Patriarch right …… I’ll guarantee that the Patriarch will be immune to it, and then I’ll slap you with a big ear.”

“Che, there’s no need at all to deal with her …… Besides, I’m not using it for that.” Xue Mu laughed: “With a poison like this in Poison Kung Fu, I reckon that the actual combat effect will be awesome, whether it’s good against men or women, that’s the key.”

“Can the Pure Moon Pill cure it?” Zhuo Qingqing laughed, “If it can’t be detoxified, then the gentleman must first concoct the antidote, it’s not good to only poison but not detoxify.”

Xue Mu laughed: “Don’t worry, it’s not like I’m going to use it on you.”

When the demoness of the Star Moon Sect was faced with this kind of flirting, it was really like the wind passing through her ears, it was useless. Zhuo Qingqing then directly returned a sentence: “Really used on me also no harm, Gongzi to body to solve chant.”

“Ha……” Xue Mu laughed and shook his head, tossing the Pure Moon Dan in his hand, “I’ve studied it, Pure Moon Dan is effective and doesn’t need to be blended separately. So, in the Demoness Sect, a lot of things are still very convenient.”

Somehow Zhuo Qingqing was actually a little disappointed, but quickly suppressed it and asked, “What is Gongzi’s plan today?”

“Go, accompany me to go to Department Six.”

An Sifang had just gotten an expert to frame the painting and very solemnly put it into a box, and was about to order his men to send it to the capital when he heard a report from outside: Lord Xue City was visiting.

Welcoming Xue Mu, An Sifang warmly entertained him and seated him, and the box with the painting was resting on the table between them.

Xue Mu, of course, didn’t know that the box actually contained Xue Qingqiu’s painting, and casually asked, “What is this?”

“Oh, it’s something to be submitted to Chief Constable Xiahou.” An Sifang didn’t answer in detail and recruited one of his men to order, “Send it to the capital in an expedited manner.”

“Just in time!” Xue Mu pulled out a letter and handed it over, “Please give this letter to Chief Constable Xiahou along with it, it’s all important matters of concern to her and must not be delayed.”

An Sifang took the envelope, and on it was clearly written, “Xiahou Di’s personal message”. He couldn’t help but smack his lips, secretly even if he is a close friend, usually the letter also didn’t call his name, this Xue Mu really don’t know the manners, or is the relationship with the chief constable really good to a certain extent? Think of Xue Mu just to the spirit of the state, over there Xiahou Di was anxious to send people even asked two or three questions, which just finished not two days, Xue Mu and a letter back to the past, this close interaction is a little outrageous ……

Think of Xiahou Di age twenty-five, this Xue Mu seems to be twenty-seven, very match ah …… they will not be that kind of relationship right?

The more An Quartet thinks about it, the more it hurts, if it is really that kind of relationship can be troublesome. The emperor gave him a secret order, explain to Xue Mu as much as possible to trip, according to the reason should be obscured under this letter? At least should be opened to see what to say?

But Xiahou Di is his top boss, okay …… this in case she knows, his own nine lives are not enough to die ah!

Just, this letter is handed to their hands in public, can not blindly start a moth, or have to send. What to do in the future, or go to the letter to consult Xuanzhe say. In front of Xue Mu, An Quartet handed the letter and his box to his subordinates, commanded: “Immediately sent to the capital, without delay.”

The subordinate led the order to go, An Fang Fang turned his head and smiled brightly, “City Lord has arrived in Lingzhou for some days, right? I don’t know if I can still get used to it?”

“Spirit State has a pleasant terroir, Mister Xue’s body and mind are much more relaxed here.”

An Sifang glanced at Zhuo Qingqing who was standing behind Xue Mu, secretly saying that you are either harboring in the Rouge Workshop where there are so many beautiful women or in the City Lord’s Mansion where you are surrounded by such enchanting women, so I’m afraid that it’s not a nightly affair. Instead of the old man’s body and mind is also comfortable ah ……

Looking at his expression, Zhuo Qingqing knew what he was thinking, but this time there is nothing to shy away from the emotion, just expressionless.

Xue Mu added: “Xue Mou came here, in addition to delivering the letter, but there are two things I want to discuss with Sheriff An.”

An Sifang withdrew his mixed emotions and solemnly said, “City Lord, please speak.”

“Firstly, two days later, this clan will hold a grand ceremony in Rouge Place, and we would like to invite Sheriff An to come and guide us.”

An Quartet was stunned, “How dare I say guide …… I wonder what kind of grand ceremony it is?”

Xue Mu smiled faintly, “Yan Yang Sect Affiliated Grand Ceremony.”

An Quang Fang’s face changed, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and laughed, “City Lord is so generous. My subordinate will definitely go to observe the ceremony at that time.”

Xue Mu said with some embarrassment, “Sheriff An also knows that Mister Xue is new here and is not familiar with people. Jianghu various sects, Star Moon Sect will send someone to invite, and the county people face, please sheriff An help to inform …….”

When the lord of the city said that the county is not familiar with the face, you really say out! An Quartet really can’t help but cry and laugh, this little thing also didn’t want to brush Xue Mu face, simply said: “A little thing, my subordinate will do it. I don’t know what the other thing is ……”

“The other thing is just a small personal confusion, I want to consult with Sheriff An.”

“City Lord please speak.”

“I wonder what criteria are used for promotion in Department Six?”

“Depending on the duties, such as those who specialize in burglary detection, naturally the results of burglary detection will prevail.”

“What if it’s Constable An who sits on one side of the town? Local stability prevails? Is there any social stability indicator, crime detection rate indicator, number of reported cases indicator, number of deaths indicator ……”

An Sifang’s jaw dropped as he listened, what’s all this? Listening to Xue Mu pulling more and more, he busily interrupted, “Local tranquility is naturally in the eyes of the higher-ups, there are no indicators.”

“That is to say, if unrest breaks out, Sheriff An will be responsible for dereliction of duty?”

“That’s natural.”

Xue Mu let out an “oh” sound and said seemingly casually, “Then I wonder what Sheriff An thinks about the recent somewhat undercurrents pointing towards the Star Moon Sect?”

An Sifang froze there, speechless for a long time.

What do you think? This is the result that the emperor wants ah, you ask me what I think ……

Besides, shouldn’t this be a matter of tacit agreement between everyone, each according to their own abilities? What do you mean by saying it outright ……?

But then again, An Square thought about it and really realized that Xue Mu saying it outright doesn’t break any rules, because Xue Mu is really the gold medal constable of Department Six, and he has a good reason to ask about the local stability and this suspected sign of turmoil.

An Fang Fang wanted to cry a little, Xue Mu hand a gold medal, really let him left and right is not a person. This matter can’t be blamed on Xiahou Di, because the gold medal was approved by Ji Qingyuan himself!

Just when An Sifang didn’t know how to answer, a constable dashed in at the door and said urgently, “Constable, urgent report from Lingguang County!”

An Sifang secretly said that it was a good time, pretended to apologize and smiled at Xue Mu, consulting his own subordinates, “What’s the situation?”

“A small secret realm has been discovered in Lingguang County, and the missing livestock is the result of the creatures in the secret realm, our people can’t handle it, but fortunately, the Questioning Sword Sect’s Mu Jianli and the Yan Yang Sect’s Feng Lieyang arrived one after another, and they have already gone down to explore the area.”

Is it really a secret realm? An Quartet’s complexion became grave: “Do you know what kind of creature it was?”

“It’s rumored to be an adult black auger, and a few of my colleagues were injured.”

Before An Quartet had time to react, Xue Mu beside him rose up with an open heart.
