When Bureau Chief Xu brought the two boxes with the Boundary Beads upstairs, he heard Xia Pingan and Guo Wei chatting on the balcony.
The balcony on the second floor faced the garden of the Gao Family Manor, and Xia Pingan and Guo Wei were waiting for him there.
"… That's how it all started. That Mu Qingchen was trash. He had a grudge with a summoner from the Xianghe Committee of Order, and he wanted to find trouble with me. That's why I broke his leg in the arena, and he went home to recuperate. Life is unpredictable …"
Xia Pingan sighed on the balcony. "I thought that he would be more obedient after I taught him a lesson. I didn't expect that when I met him again, it would be an eternal farewell. To be honest, I don't feel sorry for his death at all …"
"Aren't you afraid that the Gao Family will think that you were the one who did it?" Guo Wei asked.
"Grudges in the arena should be settled in the arena. I wouldn't risk so many lives for such a small matter …" Xia Pingan replied.
Xia Pingan wasn't lying. The grudges on the stage had been settled on the stage. He hadn't made a move because of that. He had made a move because the Gao Clan and Mu Qingchen wanted his life. This was an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye.
When he was downstairs, Bureau Chief Xu actually had a thought. Could it be Xia Pingan who did it? But when he went upstairs and heard Xia Pingan talk about his grudge with Mu Qingchen, the suspicion in Bureau Chief Xu's heart completely disappeared.
Chief Xu laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart. It made sense when he thought about it. Speaking of grudges, any of the seven people who died in the Gao family would have caused more serious grudges than a single battle in the arena.
Let's not talk about anything else. Just the Gao Family's businesses alone had caused hundreds of lawsuits in the courts. Two years ago, there were even people who jumped off a building. In order to deal with these lawsuits, the Gao Family had a team of lawyers. Other than that, there were also conflicts between men and women. Mu Qingchen was a Summoner and liked to show off. His enemies weren't just Xia Pingan, so there were too many suspects.
Bureau Chief Xu came to the balcony and handed the two boxes to Xia Pingan. "Mr. Xia, these are the two Boundary Beads prepared by the Gao Family. Please take a look!"
Xia Pingan took the two boxes and opened the first one. The Boundary Bead in the box looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, it was the Engraved Boat Seeking Sword.
Xia Pingan almost laughed out loud. The price of this Realm Summoning Bead at the Mask Club was 9 million. Maybe it was bought by the Gao Family. He didn't expect that it would fall into his hands after going around in circles.
Xia Pingan closed the first box and opened the second one. The Boundary Bead in the box looked like an ordinary Divine Power Boundary Bead. In the middle of the Boundary Bead, there were 20 shrunken Divine Power Light Balls floating. There were also four Divine Runes — Guan Zhong Knows People …
These two Boundary Beads were very expensive for ordinary people. But to the Gao Family, they were probably the cheapest ones they could take out.
"Okay!" Xia Pingan looked at the two Boundary Beads and nodded. He said seriously, "Did Bureau Chief Xu make it clear to the Gao Family that if I succeed in fusing these two Boundary Beads, I won't be able to return them. Of course, if I fail in the fusion and die, it has nothing to do with them!"
Bureau Chief Xu nodded. "Of course, Mr. Xia has given the Gao Family and me a lot of face by risking his life to fuse with the Boundary Beads and use the secret method to search for clues. The Gao Family naturally wouldn't be so insensible. Just now, the Gao Family even told me that if Mr. Xia could find useful clues, the Gao Family would reward him greatly!"
"To be honest, I had some conflicts with Mu Qingchen of the Gao Family in the Demon Suppression Guard. I didn't expect that the Gao Family would still be able to distinguish the severity of the matter and be willing to take out the Boundary Beads!"
Bureau Chief Xu's expression was a little strange. "Cough cough, these two Boundary Beads were taken out by Gao Tianci's wife, He Meiyuan. Now that the Gao Family is a little chaotic, there are some things that they don't agree on. The Gao Sisters still have a lot of opinions about Mr. Xia …"
"I got it!" Xia Pingan put away the Boundary Beads. "I'll find a room here to fuse with the Boundary Beads. During this period, I can't be disturbed by anyone. I'm not sure how long it will take. If it's short, it might take one or two hours. If it's long, it might take seven or eight hours.
Please wait for me … "" It's okay. The study on the second floor is fine. I'll wait here! "Bureau Chief Xu couldn't wait for Xia Pingan to fuse with the two Boundary Beads immediately.
"It's a little dangerous to fuse with the Boundary Beads. Erm, should we inform the chairman …" Guo Wei thought for a while before asking Xia Pingan. If something really happened to Xia Pingan, the 87th Legion's High Priest who had just been entrusted with an important task would be gone. He would then be the sinner of the 87th Legion.
"If a Summoner is afraid of even fusing with a Realm Pearl, just like how a fish is afraid of water, then there's no way he can survive. Don't worry, only this longsword is an artifact of the two Realm Pearls. It's a little risky to summon a Realm Pearl, but I'll be careful!"
Seeing that Xia Pingan had made up his mind, Guo Wei could only nod. "Then I'll help you guard the door!"
"Yes!"
The study room on the second floor was not far away. Xia Pingan took the Realm Pearl and entered the study room. The door of the study room was closed. Guo Wei and Director Xu were waiting outside.
Looking at this study, Xia Pingan guessed that Mu Qingchen and those people of the Gao Family would never have imagined that he would actually be able to fuse with the Realm Pearl given by the daughter-in-law of the Gao Family the next day in order to find clues about the real culprit …
Sometimes, things in this world were just so strange.
Xia Pingan took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the sofa in the study room. He directly took out the first Realm Pearl of the 'Engraved Boat Seeking Sword' and turned the ring on his finger to reveal a silver needle. He pricked his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the Realm Pearl.
The Realm Pearl absorbed the blood and in the blink of an eye, it emitted a green brilliance that wrapped Xia Pingan up and turned into an egg-shaped cocoon of light.
…
"Ah, the sword fell into the water, the sword fell into the water …" Xia Pingan opened his eyes and heard someone shouting beside him.
That voice was from Chu Di.
He was sitting on a boat that was crossing the river. Apart from him, there were seven or eight other people on the boat. Everyone was looking at the river beside Xia Pingan.
The river was torrential and bottomless. When Xia Pingan looked over, he saw a treasured sword swaying in the water like a silver snake. When he saw it, the sword had already sunk several meters into the water. In the blink of an eye, it swayed twice and sank into the water, disappearing without a trace.
The boatman looked at him helplessly with an expression that said it had nothing to do with him …
"Wow, that's a good sword. To think it fell into the water …"
"I wonder if he can get it if he jumps in to fish it out?"
"Is he tired of living? Who dares to jump in such deep water?"
The people on the boat were discussing fervently. All of them looked at Xia Pingan with sympathy. Swords in this era were luxury goods. They were expensive and ordinary people could not afford them.
Under such circumstances, there were many people who dared to jump into the river to fish for swords. For example, those Summoners who had drowned!
Xia Pingan sighed in his heart. Then, he unhurriedly touched his body. Indeed, he found a dagger. Then, he used the dagger to carve a mark on the boat where the sword fell into!
Compared to the value of a treasured sword, using a treasured sword to exchange for a chance to become famous and warn future generations was what a fool should do.
"Sir, what do you mean by this?" the boatman asked.
"This is where the treasured sword fell into the water. I'm carving a mark here. When the boat reaches a shallow area, I'll go down from this mark to fish it out," Xia Pingan said to the others on the boat with a serious expression.
The people on the boat were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter …
The world of the Realm Pearl shattered.
…
The first Realm Pearl. Less than ten minutes after closing his eyes, Xia Pingan opened them.
His secret mandala had increased by another ten points of Divine Power. At the same time, there was an additional summoning slot for a longsword.
To others, the mortality rate of this longsword summoning was as high as one in seven. However, to Xia Pingan, it was as simple as going to the toilet while reading the newspaper.
Xia Pingan did not wait any longer. He continued to open the second box and took out the "Realm Pearl of Guan".
Moments later, Xia Pingan was once again surrounded by a cocoon of light.
