Chapter 219 - 128 Jing Sect Master Strategist
The government office is considered a profession of licking blood off the knife’s edge. When investigating cases, one never knows who they might offend, and sometimes it could even implicate their family.
This profession often comes into contact with dangerous events. For example, Zhao Zhonghe and Zhao Yuan, if not for Xu Qing’s company during their last trip to the crime scene, they probably wouldn’t have even found their bodies.
The officials in the government office are used to this by now, so even if a colleague has an accident, they wouldn’t make a big deal out of it at the funeral house. After all, an official is considered a lowly profession, not even recognized as a proper trade.
Rather than spending a lot of money on the funeral, it’s better to save the money for the deceased’s family.
Today, Zhao Zhonghe broke the norm by asking Xu Qing to preside over Shi Quan’s funeral affairs.
If not for the long-standing relationship between him and Shi Quan, and the fact he died because of him, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to ask Xu Qing to preside over the funeral.
After settling the funeral expenses, Xu Qing took advantage of the time when Zhao Zhonghe and his nephew went to rent a carriage to collect the hair plucked out by the Golden Simurgh.
These personal items and hair are excellent materials for him to use in casting spells.
"Breath of all things, gather in me; Shape of all creatures, borrow unto me..."
Xu Qing chanted incantations and pinched his fingers into a spell gesture. The hair in his hand spontaneously combusted without wind. Mysteriously, his aura changed once again. When the Heaven Concealing Skill was completed, he added three more layers of barriers to obscure the celestial secrets.
At this moment, Xu Qing was both a constable and an immortal spiritual bird. No matter how others might try to pry, they couldn’t see through his true identity.
