Chapter 41: Fu Yu
"That's somewhat interesting."
Li Musheng didn't continue asking. In this world where martial Dao flourished, perhaps there existed some things beyond human capability, which wasn't impossible.
At this moment, Cang Yinyue gathered her thoughts and spoke, "What I need to remind you is that the imperial capital seems to show signs of unrest. The Great Qi remnants haven't shown any trace for many years, yet now when they make a move, it's such a grand action. It's truly too abnormal."
"Moreover, your identity is still undetermined, so you need to be even more careful and cautious. I always feel that the future of this imperial capital might not be peaceful."
Hearing this, Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly. After pondering for a moment, he gave Cang Yinyue a reassuring look.
"Alright, Miss Cang doesn't need to worry too much. When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. We should still focus on steadily searching for the keys to the Tianqi Secret Treasury."
Li Musheng smiled and waved his hand. Tonight's matters had come to a conclusion, and there had been some gains.
Next, he didn't stay long. After letting Cang Yinyue handle the armored soldier herself, he turned and returned to Aurora Pavilion to rest.
After his martial Dao realm had reached a point where it could advance no further, the current Li Musheng no longer needed to cultivate breathing techniques or practice martial arts. He was already in a state of returning to simplicity.
Therefore, whether in appearance or essence, he now looked no different from an ordinary person. Of course, this was on the premise that he didn't make a move. One night passed.
In the early morning, Cang Yinyue went on duty at the Six Doors headquarters as usual. However, unlike previous days, today she was pushing a large handcart.
Currently, a large portion of the energy of both Six Doors and the Tianjin Guards was devoted to searching for and pursuing that escaped Great Qi remnant.
Unfortunately though, that armored soldier had vanished like he'd evaporated from the mortal world. Six Doors had gained nothing so far.
"Constable Cang, what's with you today? Why are you pushing a handcart to the office?"
The guard constable at the entrance, seeing Cang Yinyue's unusual behavior, appeared very curious.
However, Cang Yinyue didn't say much. She just stopped the handcart at Six Doors' entrance and said, "Go inside and notify them that there's no need to search for that Great Qi remnant anymore. I've brought him here."
Hearing this, the constable standing guard at the entrance froze, as if thinking he'd heard wrong. His gaze fell on the black cloth-covered handcart before him, and he asked somewhat uncertainly, "Constable Cang, are you saying that the Great Qi remnant we've been searching for is lying on this?"
Cang Yinyue didn't repeat herself a second time. She just nodded calmly and said, "Go report it. While you're at it, call the registrar who records merits to come. It'll save me from having to make another trip later."
Hearing this, the constable at the entrance hesitated slightly, but still said, "Constable Cang, please wait a moment."
He hurriedly ran into the office. Before long, he came directly to a small hall. After thinking for a moment, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door, "Reporting to Constable Fu, I have an important matter to report."
The next moment, with a creaking sound, the vermillion wooden door before the constable opened on its own without wind, slowly swinging open.
At the same time, a slightly hoarse voice came from inside the room, "Come in and speak."
Hearing this, the constable stepped through the door. However, when he glanced around, he saw that Ji Feiyun and Gong Lishan were also in the room.
Seeing this, he hurriedly cupped his hands in salute to the two constables, then looked at a young man sitting behind a desk.
The young man was only about thirty years old. His sitting posture was as upright as a pine tree, with a high nose bridge and thin lips slightly pressed together. His face was as cold and stern as if carved by a blade.
His ink-black hair was simply tied up, and between his brows was steadiness and dignity. This was Fu Yu, the leader of the Ten Famous Constables of the entire Six Doors headquarters.
"Speak. What is it?"
Fu Yu spoke lightly, looking at the constable before him. Ji Feiyun and Gong Lishan sitting on either side also cast their gazes over.
"Constable Fu, Constable Cang asked me to report this matter. I don't know if it's true or false either."
The constable cupped his hands in salute while carefully glancing up at Fu Yu.
To be honest, he didn't quite believe that Cang Yinyue could really capture that Great Qi remnant whose strength was comparable to a Martial Dao Grand Master, so he first distanced himself to avoid being blamed for false intelligence.
After all, everyone in Six Doors knew that Cang Yinyue was Constable Fu's fiancée. If he was made a scapegoat, there would truly be nowhere to argue his case.
At this moment, a flash of inscrutable emotion passed through Fu Yu's eyes as he said, "Whether true or false, speak freely."
Hearing this, the constable nodded lightly, then recounted everything that had happened at the Six Doors main gate in detail.
"You're saying Cang Yinyue captured that Great Qi remnant?"
Ji Feiyun stood up from his chair, his face pale as he coughed violently, clearly his severe injuries still unhealed.
"That's what Constable Cang said." The constable nodded.
"How is that possible? Even Yu Jin with his half-step Grand Master strength was severely injured by that person. Cang Yinyue hasn't even reached Master level. How could she capture him?"
Ji Feiyun's face revealed a trace of cold laughter, not believing it at all.
Hearing this, the constable didn't refute. He just stood in place awkwardly without speaking.
At this moment, Fu Yu was silent for a moment, then exchanged a glance with the rough-featured Gong Lishan. Gong Lishan nodded slightly and said, "Although this matter indeed doesn't seem very possible, Constable Cang isn't someone who speaks carelessly either. Perhaps she mistook the suspect. Why don't we go take a look and handle this matter quickly, so other colleagues don't laugh at us. This would be detrimental to your reputation."
Fu Yu's face showed no expression. He just stood up from the desk and said lightly, "I'll go and return shortly. You wait here for me for a moment."
With that, he walked toward the door.
Seeing this, Ji Feiyun didn't stay in the room but hurriedly followed as well.
Gong Lishan shook his head. Naturally there was no reason for him to stay alone either.
Soon, the three arrived at the Six Doors main entrance.
However, at this time, quite a few constables had already gathered around, all looking at Cang Yinyue at the entrance and that handcart, discussing in low voices curiously.
Seeing this scene, Fu Yu's brow furrowed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He moved through the crowd to the front and spoke softly, "Yinyue, I heard you captured the Great Qi remnant?"
Hearing this, Cang Yinyue, who had originally been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Her gaze looked directly at him as she said coldly, "Don't you believe it?"
She had been waiting for Fu Yu.
All of Six Doors knew she was the fiancée of this leader of the Ten Famous Constables, and they all thought she had benefited greatly from this hypocritical person before her.
Previously her abilities were limited, but today she wanted to show off in front of everyone, to let everyone know that Cang Yinyue's achievements today had nothing to do with him whatsoever.
She utterly disdained acknowledging the marriage arrangement made by her family, and disdained being his so-called fiancée.
"Yinyue, you misunderstand. That's not what I meant. Actually, if you mistook the criminal, it's a perfectly normal thing."
Fu Yu shook his head lightly, his eyes showing no blame whatsoever.
