Mortal World.
Jinge City.
Luo Yan left the underground train station and arrived on the crowded street. Looking at the bustling, prosperous city, he felt a strange sensation, as if he had returned to civilized society from the Savage Lands.
"It's still better here."
He picked up his luggage and returned to the Strategic Affairs Department base.
The matters concerning Black Witch had temporarily come to an end. Although Zhou Yucheng had assigned him to capture the Nether Fish, going out to sea naturally required preparation.
The preparations before going out to sea could be delayed for a while. When it came time to set sail, it would be entirely up to Luo Yan.
However.
Luo Yan wasn't too worried about the Nether Fish.
What concerned him was that Zhou Yucheng had already grown suspicious of him, suspecting that he was the wild Xiao Ghost who had killed Cai Andao.
Although in Giant Deer City, Zhou Yucheng had both punished the Demon Fetus and compensated him.
Luo Yan didn't believe that after that simple test, Zhou Yucheng's suspicions had completely vanished.
Someone capable of sitting in the seat of Shao Si Ming and managing such a massive organization as Black Witch absolutely couldn't be the 'naive' sort.
At most, the result of that test had slightly reduced his suspicions. It was still far from complete trust.

If Luo Yan had been handling this matter alone, Zhou Yucheng might very well have found out.
But Zhou Yucheng would never
