Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 315 - 80: Lying in Wait for the Prey! Try Running? Run for Your Life
"A Postnatal Martial Artist? Well, that explains a lot!"
After learning that the culprit is a Postnatal Martial Artist,
Si Nan was momentarily surprised. A well-trained Postnatal Martial Artist, so capable, why resort to arson?
But soon, Si Nan accepted it.
No matter what the motive was, with a Postnatal Martial Artist’s cultivation, igniting a blaze with inner strength could indeed cause rapid and intense spreading of the fire.
"I heard before that the fire erupted suddenly, and by the time people tried to put it out, it was too late. Ordinary flames wouldn’t reach such a level."
If the culprit was a Martial Artist, specifically a Postnatal Martial Artist,
then the suspicions all seemed quite reasonable.
No wonder the previous Lord Thousand Households investigated for so many days without getting anywhere. If they caught the culprit, it would truly be a surprise.
"Master, what do we do now?"
Si Nan looked up at Ye Liuyun once again.
Right now, they’ve only confirmed the culprit is a Postnatal Martial Artist, but have no other clues.
"No rush, let’s head back!"
Ye Liuyun glanced toward Feng Feiyi, who was staring fixedly at the ruins with a sense of satisfaction; Ye Liuyun understood even more.
He didn’t make a fuss.
Instead, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to head back. Investigations aren’t accomplished in a single leap.
Seeing Ye Liuyun’s decision.
No one questioned it, and they all knowingly nodded, following Ye Liuyun away.

At night.
Ye Liuyun, along with Si Nan, Jiang Jing, and Shi Sheng, appeared in the west of the city.
Compared to the daytime.
The night in the west of the city was even more lively; gambling houses and brothels were brightly lit, and the noisy atmosphere echoed across the area, as if the series of fires hadn’t affected it at all.
"Master, what are we doing here?"
Called out late at night,
Shi Sheng looked toward Ye Liuyun, a bit puzzled.
"Fool!"
Beside him, Si Nan rolled his eyes at Shi Sheng.
"Can’t you see? Master is obviously here to wait for the arsonist to reveal themselves!"
Si Nan was astute, immediately guessing Ye Liuyun’s intent. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
However,
after saying that to Shi Sheng, Si Nan turned his gaze back to Ye Liuyun, his eyes filled with some doubt.
"Master, the previous Lord Thousand Households tried waiting as well, but gained nothing. The culprit even set fire to a gambling house right under their noses. Will this really work?"
The prior Lord Thousand Households was nearly going mad over this case.
With a fire occurring right under his nose, yet no trace of the arsonist, he began to suspect whether it wasn’t human actions but some bizarre occurrence.
"If it’s useful, we’ll find out by waiting!"
Ye Liuyun stood with arms crossed at the rooftop of a tavern, overlooking the bustling west of the city.
Behind him, Si Nan and others guardedly looked around.
Ye Liuyun only suspected Feng Feiyi was behind the arson.
As for when he would act, Ye Liuyun wasn’t certain.
Let’s wait it out.
Besides, delaying by a day means postponing attending the morning court session for a day.
Who could understand the little joys in the life of a working man?
But!
"Master!"
Jiang Jing, with his keen perception, was the first to notice something amiss.
He immediately alerted his master.
By moonlight, a shadow was swiftly leaping across several rooftops.
"Such impressive Qinggong!"
Shi Sheng couldn’t help but voice his admiration.
",,,,"
This made Si Nan, beside him, look even more exasperated at Shi Sheng.
Is this really the time to be saying things like that?
But knowing Shi Sheng’s nature, Si Nan didn’t bother to argue, and after looking carefully for a while, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Isn’t that the same Feng Feiyi we saw during the day?"
Having just met in the daytime, with Si Nan’s memory, it’s impossible to mistake it.
Even if that person wore night attire, the resemblance was unmistakable.
"No, his cultivation seems off."
Listening to Si Nan’s speculation, Jiang Jing frowned.
"Isn’t Feng Feiyi a First-class Martial Artist? But this person carries inner strength aura reaching Postnatal Realm!"
He must have concealed his cultivation using a technique during the day, revealing it at night for better concealment of identity.
"Could it be I’m mistaken?"
Hearing Jiang Jing’s assessment, Si Nan couldn’t help but doubt himself. Could he really be mistaken and this person isn’t Feng Feiyi?
With this confusion.
Si Nan turned to Ye Liuyun.
In times of doubt, only their master could be consulted.
"Doesn’t it make things even more interesting?"
Ye Liuyun didn’t answer directly, rather joking with a smile.
He remained standing with arms crossed, showing no intention of acting.
"Whether it is Feng Feiyi or not, wait and see!"
With Ye Liuyun saying this, Si Nan and the others could only suppress their doubts and quietly observe Feng Feiyi’s movements.
Though the distance was far, and it was night,
with the Martial Artist’s sight, it was very easy to clearly see.
