Chapter 78: The Bride
His status in Wei City was somewhat unique. After all, together with Bai Hongtu, he had slain evil spirits and put a stop to the blood money curse that had been harming the townsfolk.
Because of this, Magistrate Xu had specially issued an order exempting the two of them from the city's curfew restrictions, and granted them official tokens from the yamen. Even the city gates could be opened for them on demand.
After all, these two frequently caused quite a stir at night. If something were to happen and they were mistaken for criminals, it could become a serious problem.
This sort of privilege was the first of its kind in Wei City. Though they weren't technically part of the government, they were granted the authority to act independently and decisively.
The two of them followed the trail all the way through the city, eventually finding that the aura led to an ordinary residential house.
“It's in there,” Li Yanchu said gravely.
Bai Hongtu nodded and gestured for Li Yanchu to break the door down.
Seeing this, Li Yanchu shook his head. “Why are you always so brutish? We're refined martial artists, aren't we?”
And with that, he leapt lightly onto the wall and flipped over into the courtyard.
“....” Bai Hongtu's mouth twitched. Then he took a few steps back, steadied his breath, and barely managed to vault up onto the wall.
“Come down already, what are you doing up there?” Li Yanchu whispered.
Bai Hongtu smiled bitterly. He had simply failed to make the jump in one smooth motion. He landed softly, his movements elegant and graceful.
