As Sherlock Holmes said, there is no such thing as a perfect crime, only undiscovered clues.
Lu Li frowned and asked, "Is this Li Guanqi a member of the Jiu Shan Sect?"
"That's right~" Xiao Cha picked up two pieces of Ejiao and put them in her mouth, chewing as she spoke:
"When we were at the Wang Family Ancestral Hall, the Cultivator said before he died, '[There's a senior brother nearby who's good at tracking down criminals],' which must be this person."
Lu Li nodded, remembering the matter.
Xiao Cha added, "It was this person who determined that you are one of the [Four Spirits]."
Hearing this, Lu Li smiled, not considering himself one of the [Four Spirits].
The rapid cultivation speed is due to the Kunlun Mirror and the presence of the Blue Star behind it.
And most importantly—since I am not from this world, how could I be an embodiment of the [collective unconscious]?
But Xiao Cha doesn't think so.
The man before them was not only growing in cultivation rapidly!
His Heavenly Eye, various magical artifacts and firearms, and even the ability to turn Calming Incense into mosquito coils... are simply unbelievably miraculous!
He's also a bachelor!
If he's not the Azure Dragon, is there any justice left?!
At this moment, Xiao Cha looked over with bright, sparkling eyes, filled with admiration, teasing, curiosity, and above all, sweetness.
Lu Li laughed and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Cha gracefully bowed and performed a Wanfu Ceremony, then said with a charming smile, "Lord Qinglong, this humble girl is willing to serve you with utmost loyalty!"
"Okay~ You pay off your debt first." Lu Li stretched out his hand and made a grasping gesture.
"You pervert~ Go to hell~" Xiao Cha immediately knew that this meant he wanted to grab her butt.
Hearing the two laughing and joking, Wan Qing felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
[Have they gotten this close without us even realizing it?]
At this moment, Lu Li suddenly said, "Oh right~ I haven't told you yet, Wan Qing is about to break through to the [Thoughtless Meditation] stage!"
"What!?" Xiao Cha's eyes widened suddenly.
"How can there be such a pervert! Are you also one of the [Four Spirits]...? Surely I don't have two people surrounding me..."
The situation was too surreal; Xiao Cha didn't dare to even consider it.
She quickly understood what Lu Li meant— Wan Qing was also experiencing a problem with insufficient physical constitution.
"That's easy!"
Xiao Cha hopped up to Wan Qing and said with a grin, "Here, sister will give you something good to eat~"
After saying that, he pulled open the clothes on her chest to reveal the [Tanzhong Acupoint], and then pressed Wan Qing's head upwards.
"No, no!" Wan Qing struggled desperately, but how could she possibly be a match for Xiao Cha?
Just as they were about to bite each other, she unleashed a mental surge that pushed the other person away.
The reaction was too strong, Wan Qing quickly gave her reasons.
"Xiao Cha! You can't let your Internal Breath flow out anymore!"
Wan Qing, with a stern face, solemnly said:
"What you gave Young Master Lu was already the limit, not to mention it damaged his [Heart Blood]. Luckily, he had the expensive medicinal cuisine to keep him from falling into trouble. If you were to transfer any more Internal Breath outwards, his five internal organs, especially his heart, would suffer from chronic illnesses. At that point, forget about breaking through; even living past 40 would be a problem!"
The human body is exquisite and complex, strong yet fragile; some organs can't withstand prolonged use.
Internal Breath, giving away one's life essence to others, is undoubtedly an act of enormous depletion.
With Wan Qing's medical skills, she couldn't possibly be wrong, so Xiao Cha could only give up in disappointment.
"Then I'll go to the police station to gather information..."
She scratched her head and walked away, looking somewhat dejected.

Meanwhile, the "Li Guanqi" that Xiao Cha wanted to inquire about was indeed at the Governor's Mansion.
The Governor's Mansion covers an area of 700,000 square meters.
To avoid overstepping the bounds, it was deliberately built a little smaller than the imperial palace, but its extravagance far surpassed it.
At this moment, Li Guanqi arrived at this palace... where even the roof tiles were made of glazed tiles.
Sitting in a golden nanmu armchair, he picked up a cup of tea that appeared to be Longjing tea and took a small sip.
"Wow, Spirit Tea!"
The tea seemed to flow through the five internal organs, seep into the limbs and bones, and then transform into a wisp of pure energy that drifted out from the top of the head.
Li Guanqi immediately felt two ounces lighter and couldn't help but exclaim, "It has the dual effects of nourishing the body and warming the mind, what a wonderful product!"
"If you like it, I'll give you two ounces."
Jiang Haiyan changed into a sky-blue cheongsam, but her expression remained quite cold and stern.
"Just hurry up and drag that Demon Person out for me!"
"This is easy," Li Guanqi said with a smile, taking another sip of tea.
"I only ask that Sister Yan keep me company while I review the documents, how about that?"
Jiang Haiyan sneered and said:
"Give up on that idea. My husband is either Martial Arts master at the innate level or has Spirit Refinement Transformation Realm. Your 'Thoughtless Meditation and Cleansing Marrow' skill is not worthy of my attention."
Li Guanqi sighed and lowered his head, saying, "That's really straightforward... That's fine too."
The next second, Li Guanqi raised his head, his forehead eyes snapped open, and all three eyes glared at Jiang Haiyan, coldly saying:
"If that's the case, why should I find the [Four Spirits] for you? What benefit would I get!"
Jiang Haiyan snapped his fingers, and immediately a maid came over with a tray.
The tray contained a block of ice, and inside the ice were five insect eggs, each the size of a ping-pong ball.
"Spirit Devouring Ant eggs!"
Li Guanqi clearly recognized this thing; his three eyes simultaneously revealed a strong desire, as if he wished he could swallow it on the spot!
Jiang Haiyan said arrogantly, "That's right, these are eggs that can hatch into ant kings. They're incredibly nourishing, even for those who have undergone blood transfusions. Take this and give me the results first thing tomorrow morning!"
Li Guanqi carefully lifted the block of ice and smiled, "Don't forget there are still two ounces of tea leaves!"
Jiang Haiyan scoffed but remained silent.
Li Guanqi then said, "By the way, I also need pregnant women to bring back to the sect as a report. How about 100?"
Jiang Haiyan's eyes widened, and lightning suddenly appeared in the void. Li Guanqi quickly begged for mercy.
"Alright, alright, that's fine then. Where's the file?"
Jiang Haiyan turned and left, a sentence drifting back. "They will all be gathered at the 3rd District Police Station."
"Oh? Not at the Governor's Mansion?"
"The police station is safe and convenient, go there quickly..."
Before the words were finished, the fragrance had vanished.
~~~~~~~~~~~
District 3 Police Station
As soon as Xiao Cha arrived, she immediately heard from a group of idle people the amusing story of how Li Guanqi shamelessly sneaked into the Governor's Mansion.
She was disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. She was about to try to find out more information.
A junior constable ran over and said respectfully, "Captain Luo, Lord Chen is looking for you."
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Cha could only go to her boss's office first.
When she arrived at the location, the office door was open. She knocked and went inside.
"Lord Chen, you wanted to see me?"
On Chief Constable Chen's desk was a large stack of case files, all of which were murder cases that had occurred this year.
This man, who had served in the police force for 30 years, rising from a menial officer to chief constable, lowered his head and remained silent, a shadow of gloom over his face.
After a while, he spoke through the gloom:
"Tonight, Li Guanqi, a true disciple of the Jiu Shan Sect, will be at the bureau reviewing case files all night."
This gentleman is a direct disciple of the head of the Jiu Shan Sect. He has mastered the Thoughtless Meditation Spirit Refinement and Martial Arts cleansing, and his fist and foot techniques are incredibly powerful. He can unleash explosive bursts of Qi Energy comparable to cannonballs.
He also brought five henchmen, all ruthless Martial Arts experts, armed with firearms. Tell your men to be careful and avoid any conflict."
Xiao Cha suddenly clenched her fist!
