Red Lotus Saint Son

Chen Yuan had initially befriended Qin Suguan only because he knew that Qin Suguan would one day become the chief constable of the Six Fan School, and he wanted to forge a good connection in advance. However, after several later collaborations, their friendship had grown deeper and deeper.

Qin Suguan had an inflexible nature. Once he set his mind on something, he would never change it.

That was how he treated Chen Yuan as well. From then on, as long as Chen Yuan asked, he would refuse nothing.

After assigning their tasks, Qin Suguan and Chen Yuan went to capture the leaders of the underground gangs under the Second Prince.

Meanwhile, Mr. Bei and Liu Bai silently began setting up Liu Suifeng's formation array in Changning Ward.

This was also a meticulous task. Most importantly, they had to select the locations according to Liu Suifeng's manual without being discovered, especially by the Red Lotus Sect.

Chen Yuan and Qin Suguan's operation proceeded very smoothly.

Qin Suguan's informants easily discovered who stood behind the underground gang leaders in the outer city.

After all, in a chaotic place like the outer city, one's own strength and methods were not the most important things for survival. What mattered most was who backed them.

What surprised Chen Yuan was that not a single one of those underground gangs was backed by the Second Prince.

The Second Prince had a rather virtuous reputation within the court. He associated with civil officials and great scholars, so he likely believed that having ties to underground gangs would damage his reputation.

However, there were no fewer than five gangs backed by Zhao Wuji.

This White-Clad Marquis rarely returned to the capital, as if he wished to draw a clear line between himself and the Great Xia Imperial Clan.
