“If this is all you're capable of, then stop thinking about how to save people all day long.”

Lu Jing walked up to the merchant-dressed man and squatted down, saying.

The latter's face was livid. “Hmph, don't be too proud of yourself. Qingmu and I aren't known for our combat abilities among the strange objects. Your ability to defeat us doesn't prove anything.

“Coincidentally, I only became a supervisor less than three months ago.” Lu Jing said, “There are plenty of people in the Sitianjian with more seniority and richer combat experience than me. Do you still think you have a chance?”

The merchant-dressed man's expression changed slightly.

“While you still can leave the capital, call your people and leave quickly.” Lu Jing pressed on while the iron was hot.

“Even if we're willing to leave now… would Guo Shouhuai be willing to let us go?” The merchant-dressed man was doubtful.

“Of course, I said the Sitianjian is currently busy dealing with that thing in the secret realm and doesn't have time to bother with you. Plus, so far, you haven't caused any major disasters, so it's not too late.” Lu Jing said, “You're the leader, you should have a way to contact the others, right?”

“I can only contact some people. We split into several groups to come to the capital to save people, in case one group gets caught and takes everyone down with them.”

Lu Jing didn't argue with him, only saying, “Then don't worry about the others, take your people out of the city, as far as you can, and don't come back.”

“I won't abandon my companions.”

“I didn't ask you to abandon your companions. Don't worry, you're just the first wave, I'll persuade the rest to leave the city to join you.”

“…”

After speaking, Lu Jing didn't look at the merchant-dressed man again, and got up to say to Xie Lili, “Let's go, to the next place.”

“Oh.” The girl took a lantern from the wall beside her, held it in her hand, and then trotted along to catch up with Lu Jing.

The two walked out of the gambling house and returned to the street.

And this time, Wowo led the two to the north of the city.

Lu Jing didn't think too much at first, after all, the capital was very large, and the north of the city was also very large, but after walking for a while, Lu Jing's pace slowed down.

Xie Lili noticed Lu Jing's change and asked, “What's wrong?”

“Going forward is Jiezi Alley.”

“Jiezi Alley?” Xie Lili was also stunned. “Isn't that where your Sitianjian government office is located? What strange object is so daring, or has it already been caught?”

“I don't know, let's go take a look.” Lu Jing said.

He hid Wowo in his sleeve, and then continued forward, but after only a few steps, he ran into an acquaintance.

That was the woman who had insulted Xia Huai's master, Xiao Mengrou, and even destroyed Xia Huai's long sword not long ago.

She had just walked out of the Sitianjian, walking hurriedly, looking like she had something urgent.

After walking a few steps, she felt two vague figures ahead, and looked up.

Seeing Lu Jing approaching, her face immediately darkened.

She remembered the bottle of Three Immortals Elixir and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman she had lost half a month ago, and couldn't help but feel angry, “Kid, are you never going to end this!”

“Uh… I didn't know Senior was also here.”

Hearing this, the woman's face softened a little. She also knew that she had overreacted just now, mainly because those three Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans were too painful for her to lose.

In fact, she didn't have too much animosity towards Lu Jing. On the contrary, after hearing about this kid's various deeds before, she was quite optimistic about Lu Jing.

However, later Lu Jing stood up for Xiao Mengrou's disciple, which led to her perception of Lu Jing also declining.

But in the end, there was no irreconcilable contradiction between the two. Even Xia Huai, she only hated, and deep down, she also agreed with the idea that the grievances of the previous generation should be resolved by the previous generation.

It's just that when she saw Xia Huai, she couldn't help but hold back.

In any case, it was indeed her fault first that time, and just now too. She was preconceived and thought that Lu Jing was here to continue extorting her.

But after calming down and thinking about it, she knew that this was impossible, because she had only just been called to the Sitianjian, and it was impossible for Lu Jing to have been waiting here all the time, just to stake her out.

However, it was also impossible for her to admit her mistake. She was most concerned about face, so after hearing Lu Jing's reply, she just sneered, noncommittal, but then said, “What are you doing back at the office?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Xie Lili beside Lu Jing, and seeing that she was a stranger, she asked suspiciously, “Who is she?”

“She is the daughter of the newly appointed Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, a… um, a friend of mine in the capital.” Lu Jing did not hide Xie Lili's identity.

But after speaking, he saw that the woman's gaze towards him had become somewhat different.

“Supervisor Lu has quite a few friends, from Wen Xiaoqian, the seventh daughter of the Wen family, to Yan Yun, the chief disciple of the Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, and that woman's disciple… now there's another daughter of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing, heh heh, truly friends all over the world.”

“This one is a real friend.” Lu Jing said awkwardly.

Fortunately, the woman didn't dwell on this, only saying, “Come with me.”

“Ah?”

“Since you're busy making friends, you probably don't have anything important to do. Just come with me to handle a case.”

“Now?”

“Yes.” The woman glanced at Xie Lili again, and then said to Lu Jing, “Remember the person we caught together last time? Some guys seem unwilling to accept it and have deliberately sneaked into the capital to save him. Some have even sneaked into a secret prison in the city. The opponent's skills are very good.

“And I don't know if they have any companions. I'm planning to go support the four supervisors over there. What do you say, are you willing to lend me a hand? Afterwards, I'll split the rewards from the office with you half and half.”

The woman didn't actually plan to call anyone else, but after running into Lu Jing, she had a temporary idea. She was actually just taking the initiative to share some of the credit with Lu Jing, as a way to make up for the misunderstandings between them before.

But she didn't expect that Lu Jing's face would show a hint of embarrassment when he heard this.

He glanced at Xie Lili, then at the woman, and said vaguely, “But I really have other important things to do tonight.”

Xie Lili was a clever girl, and immediately cooperated with Lu Jing.

Blushing, she lowered her head, stretched out a hand, grabbed the corner of Lu Jing's clothes, and finally said to the woman, “Senior, do you need help catching thieves? I can have my father transfer people from the Dali Temple.”

The woman was stunned, and then a look of anger appeared on her face, pointing at Lu Jing and saying, “You… you really are… blinded by lust!”

After saying that, she didn't look at the two of them directly, and just flicked her sleeves and left.

And after she left, Lu Jing said to Xie Lili, “Kui has already attracted the Sitianjian's attention, we have to hurry too.”
