Inside the main hall, Li Chengxing had only just taken his seat when another figure entered through the doorway.
Li Chengxing was somewhat surprised upon seeing the newcomer, because it was Shangguan Yunlan.
"Lady Yunlan, why have you come here as well?"
"Didn't your Black Feather Guard come to inspect the Blackbird Guard's archives?"
"Could it be that you, too, came bearing that person's intentions?"
Shangguan Yunlan's gaze sharpened in an instant, but it quickly returned to calm.
Li Chengxing truly deserved to be a Deputy Division Head of the Blackbird Guard. He had seen through her purpose at a glance.
However, Shangguan Yunlan certainly would not tell him the truth. This concerned that person's intentions.
"Division Head Li, you worry too much. Yunlan simply wished to meet this Lu Xuan."
"Besides, I have already sent people to inspect the archives, so there is no need for you to concern yourself with such trivial matters, Division Head Li."
Li Chengxing did not pursue Shangguan Yunlan's purpose any further and merely laughed casually.
"Ha ha ha ha, so that's how it is!"
After Shangguan Yunlan took a seat in a chair on the other side, complex and shifting emotions flashed through her beautiful eyes.
She recalled the ultimate reason she had come from the Imperial Capital.
Her mother, Shangguan Yuqing, the Gold Envoy who commanded the Black Feather Guard, had once told her this.
The main reason she had been sent ahead to Peace Prefecture was to test Lu Xuan's character on behalf of Your Majesty.
If necessary, she could use every means at her disposal to learn about Lu Xuan from every angle.
When the time came, Shangguan Yunlan was to return to the Imperial Capital and report everything about Lu Xuan to Your Majesty in detail!
