Following closely behind was Mo Wu, who looked travel-worn. His face was solemn, but upon seeing Ye Shuang in the room, he immediately knelt down on one knee: "Mo Wu has failed your trust, young lady. Please punish me."
Ye Shuang raised her hand, and a burst of spiritual energy helped him up: "I already know the general situation in the capital. This is not your fault. Get up. I have other things for you to do."
"Yes." Mo Wu didn't dawdle. Since Ye Shuang had said so, he would just do something else to make up for it later. "Congratulations on recovering your cultivation, Miss. I've heard about what happened in the village. It was my fault for being useless and unable to help you."
Ye Shuang shook her head: "Let's not talk about the past. Besides, you deserve credit for bringing people from the capital here so quickly. Now that you've brought them here, you must already know what's going on in the town."
Mo Wu nodded: "Yes, I wonder if you mean to investigate this case thoroughly or to close it as soon as possible?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Shuang said with unusual firmness, "I want the facts of this case to be laid out clearly in front of Li Wenyi and Ma Rencai. I already know the cause and effect of this case, but there are no obvious clues to link them together. I'm entrusting this matter to you. Can you handle it well?"
"Don't worry, young lady, there's absolutely no problem." Mo Wu was practically kneeling down to swear an oath.
Ye Shuang looked at the newly cleaned house and then at Mo Wu: "Then I'll leave everything here to you. After you've solved this case, you don't need to come to the village to find me. Stay in town to protect Li Wenyi and Ma Rencai. Make everyone think that I've been staying in the house and never gone out. It doesn't matter if we're exposed in an emergency. Their safety is the priority."
Mo Wu clasped his hands in a salute: "Yes!"
Ye Shuang used her spiritual power to draw a map of the county in mid-air and pointed to one of the lit spots: "If they still can't find any clues, you should find a way to reveal this place to them."
"Yes." Mo Wu glanced at it, memorized the location of the bright spot, and then the spiritual energy diagram disintegrated.
At that moment, Yuwen Leng was still at the yamen, and only she and Mo Wu were in the house. She said frankly, "Be careful of Yuwen Leng. He seems to be doing everything for Ma Rencai's good, but he also has his own purposes. I haven't figured out what the purpose of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance organized by the cultivation world is yet, so be careful. If necessary, you are allowed to join forces with the demon beast beside Ma Rencai."
Mo Wu was startled. Joining forces with demonic beasts had always been a taboo among cultivators, especially since demonic beasts were considered depraved beings. People in the cultivation world believed that cooperating with demonic beasts was doing something shameful. However, since Ye Shuang had said so, she must have her reasons. He nodded in agreement: "Should we investigate the origin of that demonic beast?"
Ye Shuang shook her head: "The mortal world is in chaos now. Even if we investigate, it's hard to tell what's true and what's false. Since it's already happened, we should figure out how to deal with it. In short, be careful and keep in touch. I'll also come to the county town from time to time."
"Okay, don't worry, young lady, I will be careful to do things properly."
Ye Shuang had nothing to worry about Mo Wu, so she rose and flew away on the wind, disappearing into the sky in an instant. Her speed was so fast that even in broad daylight, no one noticed her.
