Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 820 - 67 You Don’t Look Like a Revolutionary Party Member

According to the data observed by the Astronomy Bureau, there are no extraordinary elements present in this world.

However, the definition of "extraordinary" is really quite subjective.

For example, if one were to calculate based on the average strength of the Swallow Sect, He Lan definitely wouldn’t reach the level of extraordinary, not even qualifying as a true expert.

She is a mere mortal.

But if you look at it from another perspective, mortals of her level do exist in this world.

Take, for instance, the burly man skilled in Inner Strength before them. Just by glancing at him, Wang Yunxiao was convinced that with He Lan’s meager skills, she probably wouldn’t stand a chance against this uncle.

This person is definitely not an ordinary figure. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

For someone like him to be stationed in this place, it seems unlikely to Wang Yunxiao that He Lan could have managed to poison the entire Xue Family next door.

Martial artists generally have sharp ears and keen senses. He Lan never learned the real Qinggong techniques of the Swallow Sect; her movements are far too heavy and would never escape someone of this caliber.

Thus, he must know something.

Either he knows but has chosen not to speak, or... he’s deliberately condoning it?

As for Wang Yunxiao introducing himself, the burly man clearly didn’t believe him, but he was conspicuously inarticulate and couldn’t come up with a reason.

At this moment, the Store Manager of the Medicine Hall hurried over, clasped his hands with a smile, and said, "Heroes, I am Nong Zhu, the Store Manager of Baosheng Hall. This is one of my shop assistants; he’s rather coarse and not good with words, so please don’t take it to heart. If there’s anything you need, feel free to speak directly to me."

Wang Yunxiao nodded, gestured inward, and asked, "Is there still any hope for the Xue Family?"

Shopkeeper Nong hesitated for a moment, then spread his hands and gave a bitter smile, "I run this Medicine Hall primarily for business in medicinal herbs; my medical skills are truly shallow and not worth mentioning. It’s just that Xue’s family happens to live quite close, so they were brought here. We’ve tried every possible method—treating a dead horse as if it were alive, so to speak. A doctor has been sent for, and the Governmental Office has also been alerted... but whether Xue can hold out until then, who knows."

After all, travel these days largely means walking on foot.

The entire Xue Family was poisoned. Considering the excellent reputation Xue had built in the community, neighbors have gone to report the case to officials and fetch a doctor, which is already exceedingly kind. There’s no way they’d spend their own money to hire a quicker means of transport.

By the time the government officers and a doctor arrive, it would likely be at least one or two Chinese hours later.

Wang Yunxiao nodded and didn’t ask further, only lowering his voice to say, "That female Flying Thief is a junior from my sect who unfortunately wandered into this area. The lass was spoiled from a young age and has a peculiar temperament. Letting her roam freely outside will eventually lead to trouble. Shopkeeper Nong, if you know of her whereabouts, please let me know."

Shopkeeper Nong exchanged glances with the shop assistant, who sneered, "I don’t believe a word you say. You claim she’s a junior from your sect, but aren’t you quite young yourself? How did you become her martial uncle already?"

Wang Yunxiao replied helplessly, "If I wanted to trick you, wouldn’t it make more sense to say she’s my sweetheart? That would be a much more reasonable story."

The shop assistant was instantly stunned by this and thought it made a lot of sense, though he was still indignant as he snarled, "Speaking of being a senior from her sect, do you have any proof? Honestly, you look more like a government officer chasing her down."

"Huh? Me? Are you sure?"

Wang Yunxiao removed his hat and revealed his head, saying, "I’ll give you a chance—repeat what you just said."

The shop assistant went silent.

Shopkeeper Nong quickly interjected, "He’s just an uncivilized man, so don’t hold it against him. As for the female Flying Thief, we only saw her briefly at Xue’s house earlier; afterward, we don’t know where she ran off to. If you’re looking for someone, you can stroll around nearby and see if there are any clues."

Wang Yunxiao nodded, "Alright, we’ll take a look around. I’m Wang Yunxiao. If she returns, tell her my name, and she’ll know who I am."

After saying this, he turned and left. He couldn’t help it; the smell at the door was simply too strong.

Not far from the exit, he spotted a tea house and led his group inside. They ordered two pots of tea and waited quietly.

This world was different from theirs—a woman wandering alone outside was no easy matter.

If He Lan had truly learned anything from the Swallow Sect, it would have been the set-up orchestrated by the old master—Swallows Nesting!

Wang Yunxiao speculated that her "nest" should be near the Xue Family residence. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that all the despicable traitors happened to run into her?

Evil never has "I am a bad guy" written plainly on their faces.

"That uncle’s martial skill seems decent, but without exchanging blows, it’s hard to discern his techniques."

Guozi whispered in Wang Yunxiao’s ear, looking like he was itching for action.

Wang Yunxiao glared at him, "Don’t you dare bully people!"

In terms of martial arts alone, Guozi’s Tongbi Fist wasn’t actually that remarkable; the thing was, he also practiced the Dharma Gate of the garrison soldiers and Uncivilized People.

If he were to spar with someone, it would be like a fit and strong young man challenging a seventy-year-old man in a match.

No matter how skilled the seventy-year-old was at deflecting moves, it would be futile.

Guozi cracked his neck and murmured quietly, "We’re already here... even your wife has become an unparalleled expert..."

"No!"

"I haven’t said anything and it’s already a no."

"No."

I’m your older brother; do you think I don’t know what’s on your mind?

Youtiao had bought several newspapers earlier and was now engrossed in reading them. Matuan leaned over and asked, "Brother Youtiao, what’s the news around here?"

"No news."

"If there’s no news, what are you reading? Let me take a look as well."

"Get lost!"

Matuan pursed his lips, turned his head away, and quietly sipped tea.

After a long wait, they finally saw a group of government officers swaggering down the street. Their demeanor seemed less like officials out on a case and more like wandering ghosts without a shred of vitality.

After a while, the shop assistant from earlier tracked them down and clasped his hands towards Wang Yunxiao, speaking solemnly, "Young Hero Wang, come with me!"

Wang Yunxiao nodded and prepared to rise when the assistant said, "Too many ears and eyes. You come alone."

"Alright."

Wang Yunxiao raised his hand, stopping Guozi before nodding, "Let’s go!"

The assistant led him to a secluded alley and suddenly stopped, asking, "Young Hero Wang, what exactly is your relationship with that girl? Over the years, I have seen my fair share, but I can’t quite grasp your origin nor have I ever heard of a Swallow Sect producing particularly outstanding disciples."

Wang Yunxiao chuckled, "May I ask how I should address you, senior?"

"Senior? Hardly. My surname is Huo, and people call me Huo Dali. Other than some raw strength, I don’t have any real skills. It’s no surprise you haven’t heard of me."

"Do I not resemble a revolutionary?"

"No."

Huo Dali shook his head, "You lack something they have, yet possess something they don’t. I’m a simple man; I can’t articulate it."
