By now, Xu Le had actually used the information he had.
To piece together some of what had happened.
Pills that could help Warriors break through were almost certainly the work of an Alchemist.
Combined with the countered Divination today, Xu Le knew this matter was very likely connected to Gu Jianuo, and even the team behind her.
District Chief Xiong Zemo...
That was already someone far beyond his ability to challenge.
And she had now extended an olive branch to him. That was what truly gave Xu Le pause.
Keep investigating? Or join them if I can't beat them?

"What about that Wu Shana?"
"There's something off about her, but I don't know exactly what. Tomorrow I'll start taking them on Internal Affairs
