What Li Yan did not know was that Su Hong was not from any branch hall at all, so the token she carried was not an identity token from any branch of "Return Home."
Not many people in the city knew Su Hong. The rank of the token in her hand was very high, and its authority was considerable. But just how great that authority was was completely different from what Li Yan had imagined.
"Leave two people behind to handle the follow-up arrangements, and tell those staying behind to notify Jin Thirty-One that he no longer needs to inspect the surrounding city gates. Have him focus solely on investigating the hidden sentries.
"Send another person to notify Su Liuyun's side and have him rearrange the city gate inspections after daybreak. We need to leave immediately. As for what needs to be done in the shops next, handle it like this..."
Su Hong began assigning the black-robed cultivator his next tasks. Their visit here this time involved far more than just the few people in the shops.
Not many people in Haina City knew her, which was also where Return Home's strength lay. However, the chief master of the headquarters did not permit Su Hong to go out alone.
She had to have people protecting her whenever she traveled. Li Yan had noticed this when they left the headquarters earlier, but he had not thought much of it.
They were now investigating spies and hidden agents. Even Su Liuyun had people intercepting and attempting to forcibly assassinate him. For someone weaker in cultivation like Su Hong, Return Home had certainly made every possible preparation long ago.
The follow-up matters involving these two shops had already been planned out. Now, Su Hong merely needed to make arrangements according to the plan.
