Chapter 55 - 48: Every Steward in the Hall Stares Wide-eyed
In the council hall, everyone sat in order. Lin Xuankong naturally still occupied the last position, near the door where it was breezy.
At the head position, Jiang Yuran was dressed in an immaculately clean Moon White Daoist Robe, sitting upright behind the brightly polished runic sandalwood table, with several Grand Chief Stewards seated on either side.
She swept her gaze around and said, "Although the task of tracking down the Flying Thieves is difficult, the lives of dozens of disciples cannot be lost in vain. Those two Flying Thieves must be caught! Everyone, report yesterday’s progress!"
Ma Jiang, full of joy, was about to stand up, but Steward Xu Bei stood up first. Clad in a blue steward’s Daoist robe, Xu Bei stood before everyone, scanning them with a slightly proud expression.
He cupped his hands towards Jiang Yuran and said, "Reporting to Chief Steward, yesterday Steward Zhao, Steward Huang, and I thoroughly searched the Spirit Snake Gang’s territory in the city. Next will be the territories of the Huang Family, the Guo Family, the Feng Family, and the Black Tiger Gang!"
He confidently said, "As long as the Flying Thieves haven’t left the city, they absolutely cannot evade the formidable tracking ability of the Dragon Blood Treasure Dogs! Within seven days, we will search the entire city and find concrete clues!"
Jiang Yuran nodded slightly. "The Dragon Blood Treasure Dogs’ tracking ability is unparalleled. As long as you, Steward Xua, and your team search diligently and find clues soon, your and Ma Rusong’s punishment can naturally be waived!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Bei and Ma Rusong’s faces immediately lit up with joy.
Steward Zhao Yufei, sitting beside them, slightly raised her chin. Filled with confidence due to the Dragon Blood Treasure Dogs’ power... She knew that she was only one step away from becoming the Silver Jade Steward!
She was holding a few blood-red beads in her hand, which were the Evil Lizard Essence Blood Pearls she had prepared to feed the three Dragon Blood Treasure Dogs today. Thinking of the three Dragon Blood Treasure Dogs that had recently made her stand out, she pressed her red lips into a smile. She would certainly have the servants take good care of them today...
The other stewards and officials secretly shook their heads. They didn’t have Dragon Blood Treasure Dogs, making it too difficult to compete with Zhao Yufei. Zhao Yufei, along with Xu Bei and Huang Yinrong, was using the Dragon Blood Treasure Dogs. Meanwhile, they could only urge their disciples; the efficiency gap was tens of times greater! But even so, it was still the Silver Jade position. How could they give up so easily...?
"Chief Steward Jiang, I have an important report!" Ma Jiang stood up straight, glancing at the smug Xu Bei and the haughty Zhao Yufei.
