Chapter 23 Unpredictable situation(1/2)

Jiuyoujie East City.

Silver Bird Restaurant.

The whole building was empty, there was not a single customer, even the shopkeeper and the waiter were missing. There was only a woman in a green gown sitting near the door, with a long sword hanging from her waist, looking down at the looming pool of water on the ground.

Bloodstains.

The envoy of the Five Elements Division, Leng Yue!

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and the woman in blue quickly led someone to the door of the restaurant. After giving instructions in a low voice, she walked into the restaurant alone and knelt directly in front of Leng Yue.

"how?!"

Leng Yue looked at the woman in blue kneeling in front of her and asked in a deep voice without any expression on her face.

"Reporting to the envoy of the town, I have confirmed that Mr. Wuji...is not Li Wuji..."

The woman in blue swallowed her saliva, spoke quickly and looked nervous.

"A fight?!"

Leng Yue narrowed her eyes and asked.

"yes."

"My subordinates wanted to take Mr. Wuji back first on the grounds that Wuji Tower does not respect women's rights, but the other party seems to have already responded. The owner of Wuji Tower is not Mr. Wuji, but Ji Wushuang, the former owner of Ningxiang Pavilion.

"

"Then there was a conflict of words, a fight, and even some minor injuries..."

"If my subordinates are not doing their job well, please ask the governor to punish them!"

The woman in blue looked remorseful and lowered her head even further.

"Did Mr. Wuji take action himself?!"

Leng Yue continued to ask.

"He is his bodyguard, and his skills are far superior to those of his subordinates."

"Master Wuji has not taken action, so he cannot see clearly, and cannot confirm whether he is good at martial arts, but his scheming seems to be very deep. He is neither arrogant nor impetuous in the face of us, and has no fear. He looks absolutely extraordinary."

The woman in blue shook her head and said thoughtfully.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Leng Yue stood up and walked slowly in the restaurant, her face becoming more and more gloomy.

"According to my subordinates, this person's background is not simple. How about calling in more people? I will lead people to level the Wuji Tower and take him back for questioning?"

The woman in blue hesitated for a while and asked tentatively.

"inappropriate."

"According to what you said, this person's identity is indeed not simple. He may have someone behind him. Since he is not Li Wuji, don't touch him yet."

"Our first task now is to find Li Wuji. Before completing the task, it is not appropriate to create extraneous problems. If we want to deal with him, there will be many opportunities in the future."

"However, the word Wuji inevitably makes people suspect that there is a connection between him and Li Wuji."

Leng Yue said in a deep voice while pacing.

"Then what to do next, I hope the envoy will tell me."

The woman in blue reluctantly raised her hand and asked for instructions.

"I will go back to the palace to report to the Empress before making a decision. You will stay in the Nine Nether Realm for the time being, hide in secret, and keep an eye on Wuji Tower to see if there is any connection between them and Li Wuji."

Leng Yue thought for a while and finally made a decision.

"yes!"

The woman in blue nodded and agreed respectfully.

Immediately afterwards, everyone evacuated the Yinque Restaurant, Leng Yue immediately returned to the palace, while the woman in blue stayed in Jiuyou Realm with a dozen of her subordinates, lurking in the dark.

...

Nine gates.

Yunfei kept walking back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking anxious and unable to sit still for a moment.

He was waiting for news from Wuji Tower.

In addition to the expectations for the results, Ji Wushuang's proud figure and the image of Wuji Tower making money every day in his hands also appeared in his mind from time to time.

Thinking of this, Yunfei couldn't help but feel excited.

"Master!"

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and the men who went to inquire about the news finally came back.

Hearing the voice, Yunfei couldn't wait to greet him.

"How is it?! Dead or captured?!"

Looking at his men running towards him, Yunfei asked eagerly.

"Not dead, not arrested either."

The subordinate shook his head and replied breathlessly.

Hearing his subordinate's answer, Yunfei's heart sank, and the excitement on his face disappeared instantly.

The person they mentioned as either dead or captured was of course Li Wuji, because Li Wuji was the biggest obstacle to Yunfei's invasion of Wuji Tower.

"What's going on?! Isn't Wuji Tower surrounded by people from the Five Elements Department?!"

Yunfei asked confusedly.

"They were surrounded, and there was a fight. Lan Ying, the personal guard of the governor Leng Yue, was there, but he didn't seem to take any advantage."

"That Mr. Wuji seems to be very arrogant. He didn't give Lan Ying any face at all. I saw that each of their faces looked uglier than the last when they evacuated."

"Before my subordinates came back, the governor Leng Yue had already left Yinque Restaurant with his people. It seems that he had let Wuji Tower go."

There was bitterness under his hands, and he answered in a daze.

"That's it?!"

"Didn't you take action against Lan Ying?! Who in the entire capital dares to take action against Lan Ying?!"

"How is that possible?!"

Yunfei's face was full of surprise, he muttered in disbelief, turned around and returned to the hall, sitting feebly on the chair, his eyes full of disappointment.

He originally thought that with his exposure, Wujilou and Ji Wushuang would be in his pocket, but he didn't expect that this would be the result now.

"My subordinates are also puzzled. When has the Five Elements Division ever suffered such a loss? It's strange to say that, where does Mr. Wuji come from? How dare he openly be an enemy of the Five Elements Division?"

The subordinates kept shaking their heads, becoming more and more confused.

"Who knows where such a person came from! Ignore this for now, tell the people below to keep their mouths shut, and never let others know that this matter has anything to do with our Nine Sects!"

Yunfei gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Now what he cares about is no longer how to get Wujilou and Ji Wushuang, but he hopes that this matter will not involve him. If Wujilou dares to offend even the Five Elements Division, then he will not take Jiumen seriously.

...

Wuji Tower.

Private room on the second floor.

Li Wuji sat in front of the window, listening to the sound of piano music coming from the hall on the first floor, closing his eyes slightly, reviewing all his plans.

Soon after the people from the Five Elements Division left, Wuji Building returned to its former bustle. Although a male guest died, it did not affect the business here.

Those people who are addicted to drunkenness and dreams will not wake up and change their past mistakes just because of an episode.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, in places like nightclubs, those who are intoxicated with life and money will never be absent.

"Son."

At this moment, Di Long's voice sounded and he slowly walked in from the door.

Li Wuji didn't speak, didn't open his eyes, and sat motionless.

"Young Master's guess is correct. Leng Yue came in person, at the Yinque Restaurant, but she has just left the Nine Nether Realm."

"But Lan Ying did not leave. Instead, he hid in the dark and secretly monitored this place."

Di Long bowed his hands and reported everything he found out.

After listening to Di Long's report, a faint sneer gradually appeared on the corner of Li Wuji's mouth.

"Sir, how should we deal with it next?"

Di Long hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.

"No hurry, just wait."

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go down and rest first."

Li Wuji closed his eyes and gave instructions calmly.
