Gu Changhuai's expression darkened slightly as he said coldly, "Aren't you afraid that these people from the Xiao Family may publicly pledge themselves to the Xia Family while secretly remaining in league with the Guishui Gate, ruining this plan?"
Inspector Xia shook her head and replied calmly, "This matter is not for me to decide. Uncle knows what he is doing."
"Uncle?" Gu Changhuai's gaze sharpened. "You mean... Inspector Xia?"
"Yes." Inspector Xia nodded. "This time, the Xia Family's affairs in Ganxue Prefecture are all under Uncle's complete charge."
Gu Changhuai fell silent.
Since this involved a Dao Court Inspector, there was nothing an inspector chief like him could say.
Gu Changhuai turned away, no longer looking at Inspector Xia. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the dark, murky river, his brows faintly furrowed as if deep in thought.
Inspector Xia no longer looked at Gu Changhuai either.
Her expression was calm, her eyes fixed forward, her gaze resolute.
The two of them seemed to have quarreled, neither willing to look at the other.
Mo Hua sighed softly, but at the same time, he quietly pondered in his heart.

His status seemed to be above that of a chief inspector. If he could keep Uncle Gu in check, then his cultivation had to be at least Feather Transformation. And judging by the situation, he wielded considerable Authority as well.
"This Inspector Xia received the Xiao Family's tip-off, so he used the incident at the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, taking Ganxue Prefecture's declining academic culture as an excuse, to extend his hand into the Dao Court Office of Ganxue Prefecture..."
The first step was to investigate the Guishui Gate.
But why investigate the Guishui Gate?
To remain loyal to the Dao Court
