At the north exit of Canyon Peak City.
It was still a well-known place that people had to pass through to get to other places through the Canyon Peak Mountains. Every day, people were allowed to go in and out of the pass. Checkpoints were set up at the exit all year round to check suspicious people. During the years when Nightingale was active, the checkpoints were particularly strict.
However, since the Nightingale organization was completely destroyed two months ago, the checkpoints at the north mountain gradually became more symbolic. Although it was said that some remnants of the Nightingale organization had escaped, the Castellan Mansion didn't seem to care about it. Obviously, they didn't think that these survivors could cause any trouble.
Therefore, the Castellan Mansion announced that the Canyon Peak City would be peaceful from now on. But for the people of the Canyon Peak City, Nightingale was never a problem. Because of Nightingale, it was the officials who ruled the Canyon Peak City who couldn't sleep or eat in peace. On the day that the Nightingale organization was destroyed, countless people who had benefited from Nightingale were investigated in all parts of the Canyon Peak City. Without exception, they were accused of colluding with the rebels. There were countless cases of framing and plundering people's wealth by taking this opportunity.
The people were angry but dared not speak out. In front of a practitioner, ordinary people had no chance to resist. Therefore, the mainland was divided into three empires by many cultivation families, and each empire had its own power and territory. Because of this, entering the academy had become a dream come true. For ordinary people without bloodline inheritance, even if they were talented in cultivation, the college was the gateway for them to become a practitioner.
That was how Si Nan became a practitioner from an ordinary person. He just graduated from the Canyon Peak Academy this year. His Single Spiritual Connection was a pretty good result in the remote and backward Canyon Peak Academy. When he was hesitating whether he should go to a better college to continue his cultivation, he received an invitation from Xiabong Castellan. Soon, he became a captain of the Canyon Peak City Garrison Army. He changed from an ordinary person who used to curse the officials every day to a member of the bottom class of the ruling class.
His life had been turned upside down since then. In just one month, Si Nan had become a different person. He was no longer the poor and cautious child he had been. He was the gatekeeper of the North Exit, the one who would not go back on his word. Once, because a pebble bounced off a passing carriage and hit his shoes, the old farmer who was pulling a cart of fresh vegetables had to stand by the road at the north exit for three days. Not to mention the fact that they had fainted from hunger, the whole cart of vegetables had also wilted into a ball. During this period, the old farmer begged bitterly, but Lord Si Nan didn't even look at him.
He was the king of the North Exit. No matter how he wanted to deal with these poor people, he only needed to say a word or even a look.
Today, the north exit looked no different from usual. This made Si Nan a little bored. He looked at the passers-by in front of him, trying to find something to amuse himself with. However, he saw the three of them. Si Nan's nose twitched.
Xiabong Castellan, who valued efficiency the most, assigned Si Nan to be the gatekeeper at the north exit. Naturally, he made the best use of his talents. Si Nan, who had the Soul of Qi, had mastered a third-stage superpower: Qi Perception.
This was a superpower of perception. The practitioner's Soul of Qi would be perceived by the practitioner in the form of smell. Further perception could also determine the other's realm.
Ordinary people were no threat to the Castellan's Mansion. What they needed to pay more attention to was the practitioners at the exit. As soon as these three people showed up, Si Nan noticed something different. His nose twitched, which meant that he was going to use Qi Perception to further perceive.
As a result, a pungent smell of alcohol instantly rushed to his head. The superpower of Qi Perception could perceive the Soul of Qi as smell, let alone the keenness of real smell. The stimulation of the smell felt by the practitioner was several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
"Achoo! Achoo! "
Stimulated by the smell of alcohol, Si Nan sneezed twice in a row. He felt that he had been teased, and his face had turned red.
"Why are you drunk just by smelling it?" The one who emitted the pungent smell of alcohol was the oldest woman among the three. At this time, while looking at Si Nan, she raised the wine pot in her hand and took a sip.
"How dare you!" Si Nan's subordinate had already figured out his captain's temperament. Before Si Nan said anything, he was ready to go forward and teach these three people a lesson.
However, Si Nan, who looked very fierce a second ago, suddenly changed his expression in the next second. He turned his head and sternly stopped his subordinate's action.
The subordinate was startled, and he hurriedly stopped in his tracks. Then Si Nan turned back and looked the three people up and down. He rubbed his nose and asked, "Who are you? You look a little unfamiliar."
"We are from Zhiling City," Chu Min replied.
"What are you doing in Gufeng City?" Si Nan asked.
"To sweep the grave," Chu Min said.
"Sweep the grave?"
"The death anniversary of an old friend is approaching." Chu Min took another sip of wine with a melancholy look on her face.
Si Nan looked the three people up and down again, nodded, and said nothing.
The three people were a little confused and looked at Si Nan together in confusion.
"You can go." In the end, Si Nan's subordinate said.
"We can go?" The three people looked at each other.
"What? You don't want to go?" The subordinate cried.
"Then let's go." Chu Min looked at Lu Ping, asking for his opinion.
"Let's go," Lu Ping said.
The three people passed through the north exit and entered Gufeng City. Si Nan's subordinate behind him looked at his captain in confusion. These three people were obviously not ordinary people, but the captain just asked them a few simple questions? This was a dereliction of duty! In Gufeng City, dereliction of duty was a very serious mistake.
Si Nan looked at his trusted subordinate and didn't explain in detail.
"I know what I'm doing," he said.
"Yes." The subordinate nodded and naturally didn't dare to ask more.
Si Nan continued to look at the three people's backs and watched them gradually walk into the streets of Gufeng City. He seemed to be waiting for something to happen, but nothing happened until the three people disappeared at the corner at the end of the street.
Si Nan also showed a puzzled look, but he also knew that this was not something he should ask.
Just now, when he was about to lose his temper with the three people, he received a Secret Voice-sending Technique. It turned out to be the family guard of the City Lord's Mansion, who personally gave him an order. "Let them in."
"There is a family guard nearby?"
Si Nan was mostly surprised because of this. He thought that he could control the whole situation at the north exit, but he didn't expect that there was a family guard watching every move here.
"Where is the family guard?"
Si Nan had secretly looked around and even sniffed with his superpower, "Qi-sensing", but he found nothing.
He followed the instructions, asked the three people a few simple questions, and then let them in. He thought that when the three people entered the city, the family guard would take action. In the end, nothing happened until the three of them left his line of sight.
Of course, he didn't know that when he let the three people into the city, the news had been directly sent to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Lu Ping? Chu Min? They really dare to come! "Hearing these two names, Wei Tianqi's eyes lit up.
The City Lord's Mansion would execute Nightingale three days later. They released the news early in the morning, which might be to lure the snake out of its hole. But they mainly wanted to target the remaining members of Nightingale's gang who had escaped. It would be best if they could eradicate them completely. As for whether Lu Ping and others would show up, Wei Tianqi had thought about it. But now he didn't know where these people were, and he wasn't sure whether they could receive the news from the City Lord's Mansion. After all, Wei Tianqi could only look forward to it a little.
But now, Lu Ping and Chu Min!
Two fugitives on the wanted list, the people who killed his husband, had come at once. How could he not be excited?
"There is another person with them, a young girl," said the person who came to report.
"A young girl?" Wei Tianqi looked at Wei Chao beside him. In the information about Lu Ping and others, there was no "young girl" except for Su Tang.
"The three of them came, and they walked directly into the North Exit in such a dignified manner?" Wei Chao asked.
"Yes," said the person who came to report.
So Wei Tianqi and Wei Chao began to look at each other, and their brows also wrinkled together.
"Do they think there is no one in the City Lord's Mansion?" Wei Tianqi said.
"Or do they have something to rely on?" Wei Chao said.
"Who is watching them now?" Wei Tianqi asked the person who came to report.
"Lord Wei Ran went in person," said the person who came to report.
"Do you want to find out the truth about them?" Wei Chao asked.
"No, it's better to secretly monitor them. I want to know all their moves. Also, go and invite my senior brother and sister, "Wei Tianqi said.
"Yes," Wei Chao answered.
