That evening, Chen Miao patrolled the Ghost Market as usual.
As for the Fox Immortal wooden carving and the matter in Wanning Town, Kong Yue said she had already reported them to her superiors.
Interestingly, one of the people taking over the case was someone they knew: Chen Wei, the Incense-Burning Heir who was a fellow recruit!
Normally, Chen Wei should not have been involved in something like this, but Kong Yue soon figured out the reason.
"So we should have a result by tomorrow. If they can confirm that the Mountain God Shrine was set up with malicious intent, we'll each get at least a minor merit."

"Kong Yue, how long do you think we'll have to keep patrolling the Ghost Market?"
