Gu Chengming looked at the "Sword Seeking Pavilion Investigation Brief" Su Qiuzhi had brought him, the veins at his temples twitching several times.
It wasn't entirely accurate, but it was accurate enough to make him deeply uncomfortable.
What made him even more uncomfortable was the latest direction of the Sword Seeking Pavilion's investigation.

The contents were extraordinarily detailed—from estimated height
