Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 66: Oops, my heart is a little unstable

The sun sets, the night begins to rise, and a light rain falls from the sky. However, this cannot stop the search of the family. The search of the family is one of the economic sources of the Demon Suppression Bureau, and they have to search the family even if it means threatening their lives.

“But before searching the house, someone needs to report the news to the headquarters and bring Pei Kun back for detention and interrogation.” Lu Zhan said. Now that the entire Jinling Demon Suppression Bureau is working together to investigate, information must be shared in a timely manner.

Xue Feng said, "Pei Kun is cunning. I'm afraid he will wake up and cheat on me halfway. Let Old Xie escort him back. We will do the hard work of confiscating his property."

Haha… What a nice thing to say. I still want to monopolize Lao Pei’s property. I just hate those people at the headquarters who are playing tricks on me… Xie Chunyan said calmly: “Okay, Guanqi, come and tighten your rope.”

When Lu Zhan came up to him, he heard Xie Chunyan whisper, "Ha... Does this guy really think I'm stupid? He just wants to make some money. When I go back, I'll praise your achievements and tell the director-general that Xue Feng took the initiative to confiscate his property. You can take this opportunity to hide more silver."

Chun Ge has really grown up his brain and is actually scheming against each other. Now it should be Niu Hulu Xie Chunyan... Lu Zhan nodded: "Don't worry."

Xie Chunyan took the unconscious Pei Kun away to avoid any accidents on the way. Before leaving, Lu Zhan punched Pei Kun a few more times, each punch hitting the acupuncture points and meridians to prevent the old man from waking up halfway.

"Brother Lu, do you have experience in house searches?" Xue Feng asked.

Do you really need to be polite? We can all go together... Lu Zhan shook his head: "I have no experience, Brother Xue, please go first."

"You guys, bring all the people from the Pei family to the lobby and interrogate them thoroughly after the search." After giving the order, Xue Feng went straight to the warehouse.

It is true that I have no experience in house searches, but I am very experienced in fleecing the poor... Lu Zhan agreed verbally, but his body was honest enough to pull a maid over and ask her to take him to Pei Kun's bedroom.

According to Lu Zhan's experience, secret passages and secret rooms are usually hidden in the study or bedroom, but Pei Kun is a warrior, so his feelings for the study may not be as strong as those of a Confucian cultivator.

In the bedroom, Lu Zhan indeed found a secret room. To his disappointment, there were indeed a few banknotes and a few banned books in the secret room, but no clues about Princess Chang Yi.

"The book this old guy reads is so fancy?" Lu Zhan frowned instantly when he looked at the content of the book, and stuffed the book and the banknotes into his sleeve pocket.

There are no clues in the secret room, and it is even harder to find clues anywhere else.

as predicted.

After searching the entire mansion, no information about the princess was found. The only suspicious point was that Pei Kun's daughter Pei Xiu was not at home. It was said that she went out last night.

Xue Feng frowned and said, "Take all these people back and interrogate them thoroughly!"

Lu Zhan looked at the timid maids and servants and did not hold much hope in his heart.

He could feel that these were ordinary people, not cultivators. Even if they wanted to be lackeys, they didn't have enough capital. However, interrogation was a rule, so Lu Zhan didn't say much.

……

When they returned to the Demon Suppression Bureau, it was already the hour of Xu. Xue Feng had just returned when he was taken to report on the house search.

Even as the headquarters, the Demon Suppression Bureau has limited funds, and house raids are an indispensable source of income. Xue Feng will have to give up most of the things he found today.

Lu Zhan touched the banknotes in his sleeves and smiled... Fortunately, he had hidden some of them in advance. If the case could not be solved, even if they would not be beheaded, they would probably be punished.

No matter what, money is important.

After arranging for people to interrogate these maids and servants, Lu Zhan stepped out and saw a familiar figure.

"Are there any clues from searching the house?" The night rain was hazy. Chu Wantang, dressed in green, stood in the rain. Her graceful figure was like a green lotus that emerged from the mud without being stained. She was cold, noble, bright and otherworldly.

"Pei Kun's daughter Pei Xiu is no longer at home. We have sent people to track her down." Lu Zhan asked, "Does anyone else have any news?"

"Zhuge Chen found the body of the book boy." Chu Wantang walked closer and said, "The body was in a ruined temple outside the city. The book boy had been dead for a long time when he was found. However, a purse was found at the scene. After verification, the purse was not the princess's."

The murdered servant, the female purse that did not belong to the princess, the missing Pei Xiu... the clues seemed to become clear instantly. Lu Zhan asked, "Is it possible that the purse is related to Pei Xiu..."

"It's impossible to be sure, but the princess's aura is covered up and cannot be traced, but the owner of the purse can be traced. Zhuge Chen has already sent Taoist priests to try to track him. Maybe there will be news after dawn." Chu Wantang said.

"I hope so." Lu Zhan let out a breath, always feeling that there was something wrong with this matter.

At present, he suspected that Pei Xiu had run away with Princess Changyi, but if Pei Kun wanted to use Princess Changyi to avenge King Pingnan, he could just kill the princess directly. Why would he go to so much trouble?

Countless thoughts gathered together, as if there was a fog lingering in front of his eyes, which made Lu Zhan a little irritated. He took out a few Qingqi Pills from his arms and threw them into his mouth.

"What are you eating?" Chu Wantang asked curiously.

"Qingqi Pill, would you like to try it? I made it myself." Lu Zhan handed over the porcelain bottle, then he remembered that he forgot to "report" the alchemy progress to Chu Wantang. After all, he was taught the alchemy technique by the other party.

Chu Wantang blinked her beautiful eyes, and the cold air disappeared, replaced by surprise: "You... the elixir you made?"

"Yeah." Lu Zhan said, "I thought it would be difficult, but I succeeded in one try."

Chu Wantang's rosy lips trembled slightly: "Wha...what?"

There are thousands of martial arts in the world, but the one that gives practitioners the most headaches is the alchemy book.

Alchemy is the path pursued by countless practitioners, but there are very few practitioners who can truly shine in this field.

There is no other reason, it is just that refining the elixir is not easy.

Hearing Lu Zhan's words, Chu Wantang's heart was in turmoil, as if thunder had struck out of nowhere.

Ever since she met Lu Zhan, he had been refreshing her worldview. Whether it was his outstanding literary talent or his pioneering Night Doctor attack system, it all amazed her.

Now even refining pills has become so simple, which made Chu Wantang a little depressed. She hurriedly took two Qingqi Pills.

"How is the effect?" Lu Zhan was looking forward to Teacher Chu's answer.

The quality is so good, how could this be a pill that was made in one go? Chu Wantang felt sad, and raised his chin and said, "It's okay, but you can't be proud and complacent, you have to keep working hard."

"I will." Lu Zhan smiled. "I am going to try the Dragon Tiger Pill that can strengthen one's body. If I succeed in refining it, I will give two furnaces to Teacher Chu."

"Oh... okay." Chu Wantang's eyes became more resentful and his heart felt more sad. If his master saw Lu Zhan's outstanding talent, he would probably fall out of favor.

Strange, could it be that Xiao Chu is jealous... Lu Zhan looked at Chu Wantang's expression and decisively changed the subject: "However, I have something else I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Chu Wantang was no longer as confident as she was before. She was afraid that Lu Zhan would ask something she didn't know.

Lu Zhan said hurriedly: "I want to ask about the special effects of the skills... no, about the concentration effect of the skills. For example, my sword energy, I feel it is too simple. If I want the sword energy to be gorgeous in an instant, can I just control it with my mind? Will there be any side effects?"

Princess Changyi's case has not been solved yet, and I can't calm down even if I take a rest now. Since I have met Chu Wantang, I might as well ask him about the special effects of the martial arts.

Lu Zhan has always been good at finding opportunities in his busy life to learn as much knowledge as possible.

“This is actually very difficult…” Chu Wantang paused for a moment, and considering Lu Zhan’s talent for alchemy, he changed his words: “In theory, this is the case, but there are limitations.”
