Night Wind, Rowling, Gombo Qiuye, and Bauhinia, their group wandered through Silla City, eventually arriving at a construction site.
"Strange, why is Qing'er at the construction site so late? What is she doing here?" Luo Lin said, completely puzzled.
Gongbu Qiuye hesitated for a moment before saying, "Not long ago, I saw her at this construction site, and she was even dining with the common serfs on the site."
"What!"
Rowling was shocked; she was so angry she almost fainted.
As the eldest daughter of the Luo family and a descendant of the city lord of Silla City, she was actually dining with commoner serfs!
The family has completely lost face!
Rowling was about to express her disappointment and anger when Night Breeze waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't worry about such trivial matters."
"This is no trivial matter, Ancestor! The honor and reputation of our Luo family are all..."
"Alright, alright, don't make such a big deal out of it. It's just having a meal with ordinary people. Haven't we had dinner with Zhao Bo a few times before?" Ye Feng interrupted Luo Lin.
"This is different. Zhao Bo is, after all, the acting director of the Agriculture Department, no longer an ordinary civilian. Moreover, Zhao Bo is a very knowledgeable person, although his knowledge is mainly in agriculture, but that's still..."
Rowling argued her case, but stopped before she could finish speaking.
Because we've arrived at our destination.
In front of me was a house made entirely of concrete, square and without any windows, only a door.
Moreover, the door is made of iron, which looks very heavy and sturdy.
"Are you sure she's in here?" Night Wind asked.
“I’m sure, her scent disappeared here, so it’s obvious she entered this strange building,” Gombu Akiha said with certainty.
The night breeze didn't knock on the door immediately, but instead curiously looked at the square concrete house.
"Do you know there's a house like this here?" Night Wind asked.
Rowling shook her head blankly.
Night Breeze examined the color on the wall and said, "It looks newly built, not long ago, no more than ten days."
The color of cement will change over time.
Newly constructed cement buildings are mostly dark gray, but they will turn grayish-white over time.
The fact that the concrete building in front of us is still dark gray is enough to show that it was indeed built not long ago.
Night Breeze finally raised his hand and knocked on the large, thick iron door.
Before long, the door opened, and Luo Qing appeared before everyone.
"Ancestor! Aunt! How did you get here! How did you find this place!" Luo Qing said in shock, and also somewhat flustered.
Gongbu Qiuye smiled and said, "We Tree Spirits have a very keen sense of smell."
Night Breeze smiled and asked, "Won't you invite us into your little house for a tour, Qing'er?"
Now that it has been discovered, there is no need to continue hiding it.
So Luo Qing braced herself and invited Ye Feng and Luo Lin into her room.
The room was filled with bottles, jars, and various equipment, clearly indicating that it was a research lab where Luo Qing was conducting her research!
That wave cannon was most likely developed by Luo Qing in this research lab!
"You actually secretly set up such a big research lab for yourself?" Rowling said in shock.
"I... I had no choice. It's dangerous to conduct research in a tent. If something happens, innocent people might get hurt. So after thinking it over, I felt it would be better to set up a dedicated research area, so I built a research lab here..."
Luo Qing said shyly, and lowered her head, bracing herself for a scolding.
Ye Feng laughed and said, "Qing'er is the director of the Construction Department. She is in charge of everything related to construction in our Xinluo City. It's not surprising that she can set up a research lab here without us knowing."
"Fine, you're abusing your power!"
Zijing pointed at Luo Qing with a proud and arrogant air, and shouted, "I am now detaining you in the name of the Director of the Inspection Department! I warn you you had better cooperate obediently, or else..."
Ye Feng gave Zijing a sharp rap on the head, instantly knocking her to the ground, where she covered her head with her hands and remained silent.
"Although Qing'er used her position to set up a research lab for herself, she did so for the purpose of conducting better research. In short, she was still contributing to our Xinluo City. How can this be considered an abuse of power?"
Ye Feng glared at Zi Jing with annoyance, then looked at Luo Qing with a serious expression and said, "But what you're doing is still inappropriate. Every street and every house in our Xinluo City has a planning map and is recorded in writing."
"Do you have this research lab? Did you follow the proper procedures when you built it?"
Luo Qing shook her head, feeling embarrassed.
“So you’ve violated the procedure, but since you haven’t caused any serious problems, I won’t punish you,” Ye Feng said.
"Then...then this research lab..."
Luo Qing asked hesitantly, her expression full of anticipation.
"Confiscate it," Ye Feng said without any politeness.
"How could this happen, Ancestor? You've confiscated my research lab, so what will I do from now on..."
Before Luo Qing could finish speaking, Ye Feng said seriously, "Go through the process again, then build a larger research lab next to the Spirit Medicine Research Institute, and move all your things there."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Luo Qing was overjoyed!
“This is a construction site after all, and the presence of commoners and serfs working here will affect your research. And if you cause an accident, it will be even more troublesome. You should understand what I mean. After all, you're not a child anymore, and you can't be too willful,” Ye Feng said earnestly.
"Yes, Ancestor, I will go through the procedures and build the new research lab tomorrow!" Luo Qing said emphatically, her cheeks flushed with excitement and her smile radiant.
Chen He and Jiang Wei finally returned to Silla City with their warrior guards and infantry corps at dawn.
They have basically cleaned up the corpses of more than two thousand red-tailed beasts.
This is undoubtedly a huge success!
The more than two thousand inner cores of the Crimson-Tailed Beast will bring considerable income to Silla City, and other materials from the Crimson-Tailed Beast can also be used for alchemy and weapon crafting.
The Mountain Ghosts have been escorted to the border by Night Wind and allowed to leave.
With this, Gongbu Qiuye could finally rest easy.
