What was even stranger was that when she looked at other elderly Servant Disciples, or Inner Disciples, or even stewards and guest elders, she didn’t have this feeling—only with Han Lie.
This feeling was as if Han Lie possessed a unique magic, attracting her.
“Hehehe.” Coming back to her senses, Bai Ling laughed heartily. “No wonder Zhui Ming sent someone to kill you. You stole his beloved; of course he’d be furious.”
Han Lie sighed. “Ah, let’s not talk about it anymore. Saintess, please must keep this secret for This Senior and Captain Zhuo. Don’t publicize it.”
“Don’t worry, Old Man Han. My lips are the tightest,” Bai Ling promised, patting her chest.
“That is excellent.”
“Then, Saintess, if there is nothing else, This Senior will take my leave first.”
“Go ahead, go ahead.”
After parting with Han Lie, Bai Ling went straight to the White Tiger Squad office of the Law Enforcement Hall.
“Saintess! What brings you here?” As soon as Bai Ling appeared, the disciple standing guard at the office entrance hurried forward respectfully.
“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m here to see your Captain Su. Is she in?” Bai Ling asked with a smile.
“Reporting to the Saintess! Captain Su happens to be in the office right now. Let me take you in!”
Not long after.
Bai Ling met the Law Enforcement Hall White Tiger Squad Captain, Su Mei, in the reception room.
She was a maiden with a pure and lovely appearance, yet not lacking in liveliness.
The maiden had long, smooth jet-black hair reaching three thousand strands. Sunlight streaming through the window shone on its ends, actually reflecting a gradient iridescent glow.
Unlike humans, the maiden had a pair of pure white fluffy beast ears on her head, adding an extra touch of cuteness to her already lively and adorable face.
She also had heart-shaped purple pupils that carried a hint of alluring charm, and on her ample buttocks, a fluffy, pure white large tail, all highlighting her differences from humans.
Yes, this maiden exuding liveliness, cuteness, and a hint of allure, was precisely the Law Enforcement Hall White Tiger Squad Captain, Su Mei.
“For what instructions does the Saintess grace our White Tiger office?” Su Mei slowly sat down opposite Bai Ling, squinting her eyes as she spoke.
“No instructions really~ I’m just here to provide you with some performance merits,” Bai Ling said seriously. “Do you remember the conflict that happened at Zhuo Hongyi’s home a month ago?”
“Oh~ The Saintess means that matter. Of course I’ve heard about it,” Su Mei said, a flicker of sorrow passing deep within her eyes as she lamented. “What a pity. The conflict between Senior Brother Zhui Ming and Senior Sister Zhuo ended up costing an innocent Junior Brother his life.”
Bai Ling continued, “Mhm. The culprit who killed that Law Enforcement Hall disciple has returned now. Logically speaking, shouldn’t the Law Enforcement Hall arrest him for trial?”
“The one who died was after all a Law Enforcement Hall disciple; we can’t just let it slide, right?”
Hearing this, Su Mei remained silent for quite some time before raising her eyes to look at Bai Ling and saying thoughtfully, “Hmm… The Saintess speaks wisely indeed. I heard the murderer is a Servant Disciple? Where is he?”
She originally didn’t want to get involved in this matter. After all, even the Hall Master hadn’t given orders insisting on apprehending and trying the culprit.
But today the Saintess came telling her these things; she couldn’t very well ignore her.
Although the Saintess’s current cultivation level wasn’t as high as hers now, since Bai Ling could become the Saintess, it meant she was highly likely to inherit Ye Qingxuan’s position as Sect Leader in the future.
A mere small squad captain like herself couldn’t afford to offend the Saintess.
“He is called Han Lie, an exclusive Servant Disciple of Violet Heaven Palace. He should probably be in his hut at Violet Heaven Palace’s entrance now,” Bai Ling said succinctly.
“Violet Heaven Palace… That complicates things,” Su Mei showed a troubled expression. “That place is after all the Sect Leader’s palace. I dare not rashly go there to arrest people.”
Bai Ling reassured her, “Captain Su needn’t worry. Master isn’t at Violet Heaven Palace right now. So you can go arrest him with ease; nothing will happen.”
“Is that so? Then I understand. I’ll take people right away to arrest that old Servant Disciple and bring him back for your disposal,” Su Mei said, in one sentence shifting the blame onto Bai Ling.
Later, even if Zhuo Hongyi came questioning her, she could completely shift the blame to Bai Ling.
“No need, no need.” However, Bai Ling wasn’t some innocent, naive little girl either; she quickly waved her hands. “Dealing with murderers falls under your Law Enforcement Hall’s jurisdiction. I’m merely providing information.”
“You arrest him; handle his punishment as appropriate yourselves.”
“Well then… I know.” Su Mei felt somewhat helpless.
“Forget it… if it’s for the Saintess… even if I offend Senior Sister Zhuo… it’s worth it.”
“Coincidentally, I’ve long disliked seeing how everyone revolves around Senior Sister Zhuo!”
“I’m clearly no worse than her! Hmph!”
Back on the other side.
On the way back to Violet Heaven Palace, Han Lie vaguely kept sensing an unfriendly gaze secretly watching him.
Han Lie frowned; an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He immediately quickened his pace.
Fortunately, he took routes with many people; thus he managed to safely return to the small wooden hut at Violet Heaven Palace.
Although Ye Qingxuan wasn’t present, her reputation alone sufficed to deter that person from acting rashly.
“A persistent ghost.” Han Lie brushed off some dust from a chair and said gravely.
The person secretly watching him earlier… Han Lie could guess using his toes. Definitely someone specifically instructed by Zhui Ming before he went out for training.
That person’s cultivation wasn’t weak; they even gave Han Lie a sense of a dangerous aura. Han Lie conservatively estimated this person had at least Foundation Establishment Stage perfection strength!
“With my current strength, dealing with late Foundation Establishment is acceptable; Foundation Establishment perfection… then it’s a bit difficult.”
“Forget him first; at least here he dare not act.”
On this point, Han Lie was completely certain. Unless Bai Ling leaked the news that Ye Qingxuan wasn’t at Violet Heaven Palace.
However, Han Lie didn’t plan to stay in the small wooden hut long either. Just two or three days was enough; thus dispelling Bai Ling’s suspicions.
During these two or three days, he should be more wary of Bai Ling than the person sent by Zhui Ming.
Not long after.
Night fell.
Han Lie neither dared to rest nor enter a cultivation state. He sat cross-legged on the bed, constantly sensing every movement in the surroundings.
“Hmm?”
At a certain moment, a series of dense footsteps approached. Judging by the footsteps, there were at least no fewer than seven or eight people.
“Not Bai Ling; then…?”
Bang!
While he was still guessing, the wooden door was violently kicked open.
Several disciples wearing Law Enforcement Hall attire filed in, surrounding Han Lie heavily.
Then, a special feminine fragrance wafted over.
Han Lie raised his eyes and saw a pure, lively fox-girl stepping past those law enforcement disciples to stand before him.
Those purple pupils faintly emitted an alluring aura as she sized him up.
