"Young Master Shangguan Fei is here!" At this moment, someone shouted outside the courtyard.
Everyone seemed to be very familiar with this name. They all turned to see a young man in brocade robes walking over with a smile on his face.
"Young Master Shangguan!"
"Young Master Shangguan …"
"…"
Everyone greeted him enthusiastically.
"Why are all of you gathered here?" Shangguan Fei was an elegant young man. He waved a folding fan in his hand, making people mistake him for a weak scholar. He nodded to everyone in return, but he also smelled the fragrance in an instant. "Oh, it smells so good, this fragrance …"
"Young Master Shangguan, you don't know, but a strange fragrance came from this courtyard just now. Also, there were phantoms of dragons and phoenixes in the air. We all want to see what's going on inside." The woman with the fox bloodline smiled charmingly at Shangguan Fei.
"That's right, Young Master Shangguan. We're afraid that they're refining pills in the courtyard. If the cauldron explodes, I'm afraid half the city will be flattened." Someone exaggerated the truth.
"Young Master Shangguan, as the son of the city's inspector, you should have the right and duty to ensure the safety of the city. I think you should go in and see what's going on." Someone suggested.
"Yes, you should go in and see …"
"Very well, this is where my duty lies." Young Master Shangguan was also somewhat tempted by the fragrance.
He shook the folding fan in his hand, and a beam of light shot at the door. The door immediately opened.
Young Master Shangguan swaggered into the courtyard under the escort of the crowd.
When they appeared in front of the pavilion, they couldn't help but look at the Taotie True Spirit Cauldron. Hot soup was still boiling inside, and the incomparably rich fragrance was constantly stirring their hearts.
"Young Master Shangguan, look, all those people are red in the face, as if they've been poisoned. I suspect that the thing in the cauldron must be extraordinarily poisonous. Shouldn't you confiscate it and bring it back for the inspector to examine?" The woman with the fox bloodline gently nudged Young Master Shangguan.
"Yes! Yes, this young lady is right. This cauldron is very suspicious. I want to confiscate it! " Shangguan Fei looked at the fox woman with admiration. "Hmm, you're not bad. You can come with me to investigate the suspicious parts of this cauldron."
"Hu Jiuniang, many thanks to Young Master Shangguan!" The Fox Clan woman was exceptionally excited as she threw flirtatious glances at him.
"Young Master, I think that kid is suspicious. Why don't you take him down as well?" Someone saw that there seemed to be an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and immediately came forward, pointing at Zhao Yuande.
"Everyone else is red in the face, only he is normal. This person is indeed suspicious, but …" Although Shangguan Fei was arrogant, he knew where he was. He couldn't act recklessly.
Zhao Yuande had already noticed the arrival of this group of people. When he heard the conversation between Hu Jiuniang and Young Master Shangguan, he immediately understood what was going on.
With a wave of his hand, the Taotie True Spirit Cauldron flew into his sleeve.
"What are you trying to do?" Zhao Yuande stood up and looked at the group of people with disdain.
Although these people were geniuses, they were only mediocre among geniuses. Real geniuses wouldn't be so bored as to do such a thing.
"Kid, you're suspected of poisoning your companions. Young Master Shangguan wants to take you back for questioning. Hurry up and hand over the things you just put away. That's evidence." That person looked at Zhao Yuande with a greedy look on his face. He could conclude that the energy of the soup just now was comparable to a divine pellet. If he could drink a bowl of it, his cultivation would immediately advance by leaps and bounds.
The five people were the best example. At this time, they could clearly feel the surging power in their bodies. The five of them were like five volcanoes that hadn't erupted yet.
"Yes, hand it over!" Someone followed behind.
"If I don't say it, you might not know. This is the son of the city's inspector, Shangguan Fei. He's patrolling the various courtyards under the inspector's orders. There's a strange smell in your courtyard, and Young Master Shangguan noticed it. So … hand it over and surrender!" Hu Jiuniang came forward with a charming smile, as if she had already become Shangguan Fei's representative.
"Scram!" Zhao Yuande felt a wave of disgust when he saw Hu Jiuniang, so he didn't give her any face and directly scolded her.
"You … you dare not cooperate with Young Master Shangguan!" Hu Jiuniang's face flushed red when she was scolded. However, she knew that if she used her name, she wouldn't be able to do anything to the other party. She could only firmly hold onto Shangguan Fei.
"Scram!" Zhao Yuande glanced at her, the coldness in his eyes shooting out like sword light, directly piercing between Hu Jiuniang's eyebrows.
"Ah!" Although Hu Jiuniang's cultivation was at the sixth level of the Heavenly King Realm, her cultivation was all about charm. How could she compare to Zhao Yuande's terrifying attack?
"How dare you attack other cultivators. Do you know that this is against the city's rules? I have the right to take you to the city lord's mansion to be punished." Shangguan Fei casually shot out a beam of golden light, blocking Zhao Yuande's gaze. His face showed a hint of anger. The other party dared to attack Hu Jiuniang in front of him. Obviously, he didn't put him in his eyes.
"If you have the right, why didn't you attack? Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhao Yuande sneered coldly. "This is my villa in the Incipient Extent. No one has the right to trespass. As the descendant of the Patrol Envoy, you know the rules and break them. Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the city lord?"
"You … I sensed the abnormality here, so I came in. Do you think I can just ignore the danger?" Shangguan Fei's eyelids twitched. He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. However, he wouldn't retreat. Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined.
"I'll give you one last chance. Get out of my villa. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking you down as robbers!" Zhao Yuande couldn't let these people disturb the others' cultivation. He strode out and walked toward Shangguan Fei and the others.
"You're crazy! You dare to obstruct the Patrol Envoy from carrying out his duties. Today, I'll let you know what it means to have unshakable authority. " Shangguan Fei was also a powerful genius. He was ranked in the top ten in the city. How could someone as arrogant as him be threatened by Zhao Yuande? His face instantly turned ferocious. He waved the fan in his hand and shot out a beam of golden light towards Zhao Yuande's forehead.
This beam of golden light was unbelievably fast. It let out a shrill hiss.
"Golden Thread Snake! It's a half divine beast Golden Thread Snake! " After Hu Jiuniang saw the beam of golden light clearly, she was so scared that she retreated. She looked at Shangguan Fei with fear and terror.
