Dawn had barely broken when the Su Family's Shadow Guards appeared.
In his study, Su Rongsheng took a slip of paper from a secret letter. A black-robed covert guard knelt on one knee before him.
After reading the slip, Su Rongsheng's expression turned extremely ugly. "Has this information been verified?"
The guard answered quietly but firmly, "I checked with multiple sources. It is indeed true."
"Then this is troublesome." Su Rongsheng frowned, falling silent for a moment. "Withdraw our people and erase all traces. How many people have seen Lengyue together with that young man?"
The guard replied again, "Chen Jingsheng from the general store on Dark Street."
"What is his background?" Su Rongsheng asked expressionlessly. As the Su Family Head, how could he possibly know every person under him?
"A sleeper agent stationed there fifty years ago," the guard said gravely.
Su Rongsheng frowned. "He has had a hard enough life at his age. Spare him and give him a warning."
"Yes."
The covert guard left.
Su Rongsheng lowered his head to look at the intelligence slip again, his brows tightly knitted. "Just who is this Lin Shuguang? He even has ties to the Ninth Prince..."
The Su Family's Shadow Guards had only discovered that Mo Changxiong served the Ninth Prince, Gu Changhe. They did not know what had happened at the Demon Cave.
After all, it was hundreds of thousands of miles away. Getting news from there so quickly was difficult.
Not everyone possessed both the Great Flame Dragon Armor and mastery of the Void Chaos Art like Lin Shuguang.
Su Rongsheng did not intend to tell Su Lengyue about this intelligence. He set the slip alight and watched expressionlessly as it turned to ash, murmuring someone's name.
"Lin Shuguang..."
An hour later, the sky had brightened.
