My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 380 - 205: Reunion with Lord Zhou (Ten Thousand Word - ) (Part 3)

If they encounter someone powerful, they will conduct a stricter inspection. However, so far, Caohe Village has been behaving quite well. Although they previously helped the Mu Mansion transport women, Caohe Village explained that they had no knowledge of what the cargo was.

Li Hengsheng could do nothing about it.

But now the intel says that Caohe Village intends to smuggle a member of the Ghost Race into the National Guardian Mansion.

Li Hengsheng couldn’t let this slip.

As an Inspector, his main duty is to prevent the Ghost Race from entering the territory of the Human Race to avoid any trouble they might cause.

So when Li Hengsheng learned that a Ghost Race member would be arriving on a ship from Caohe Village tonight, he decided to intercept the Ghost Race member.

Earlier, Cloud Wasteland was in chaos. Although the specifics were unknown, likely many from the Ghost Race would attempt to flee Cloud Wasteland and come to the Human Race during the turmoil.

Night fell.

Li Hengsheng set out for the dock, accompanied by Lin Qizhu and some skilled guards from the mansion.

Since arriving, Lin Qizhu has indeed achieved many accolades. Especially when dealing with the Mu Mansion, Lin Qizhu has shown no mercy. Aside from Li Hengsheng, the person the Mu Mansion currently resents the most should be Lin Qizhu.

"Sir, I’ve heard there’s been turmoil in Cloud Wasteland, suggesting many from the Ghost Race might be coming our way soon," Lin Qizhu remarked along the way.

Riding his horse Zidian, Li Hengsheng calmly replied, "No matter how many come, if the Ghost Race dares to intrude on the Human Race’s territory, they are to be slain immediately."

"It seems you harbor a particular hatred for the Ghost Race, sir," Lin Qizhu said with a smile.

"Yes," Li Hengsheng did not deny it.

The Ghost Race and the Longevity Sect are both entities Li Hengsheng detests, especially the Longevity Sect.

However, since he arrived at the National Guardian Mansion, it seems he’s lost contact with the Longevity Sect. After the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable thwarted the Longevity Sect’s plot during the trial in the Ghostly Realm, the sect has been almost inactive.

The entire dock was bustling with activity because a ship was arriving that night.

Amidst the busy crowd, a slightly overweight man in a purple robe stood out. He was the steward of Caohe Village.

His name was Xu Ruhu.

In the entire Tushan City, he held a certain status, and being the chief steward of Caohe Village, even the Mu Mansion and the Hua family treated him with courtesy.

After all, Caohe Village controlled the shipping on the White Snake Dao and had close ties with both houses.

In terms of strength, Caohe Village was no weaker than the two houses.

At that moment, a shadow of the ship appeared from afar.

Xu Ruhu also prepared to step forward, accompanied by several people from Caohe Village, who began to disperse the commoners on the dock.

Though these commoners didn’t know why they were being driven away, they didn’t question it and quickly cleared the area.

After all, they didn’t dare offend Caohe Village.

The ship slowly approached, appearing large and imposing in the darkness, with many people already eagerly waiting to disembark on its deck.

Originally headed to Great Wilderness City for business, they were caught in recent events in Cloud Wasteland, making it difficult to do business. They couldn’t even sell all the goods they brought, and the place was dangerous, so they had to return early, waiting for a more stable time to go back.

At this moment, Li Hengsheng and his group arrived at the dock’s entrance.

"Halt, as the ship comes ashore, unauthorized persons are not allowed near."

People from Caohe Village quickly blocked Li Hengsheng, Lin Qizhu, and the others.

"This is official Inspection Mansion business, move aside," Lin Qizhu shouted angrily.

"No matter who it is, no one is allowed near the dock at this time." The two guards from Caohe Village stubbornly insisted.

Xu Ruhu had instructed them beforehand not to let anyone near the dock, regardless of who they were.

"Take them down!"

At Lin Qizhu’s order, several guards from the Inspection Mansion moved to subdue the two entrance guards, who struggled but to no avail.

Li Hengsheng and Lin Qizhu led their group onto the dock.

Xu Ruhu felt someone’s arrival, furrowing his brows. Wasn’t no one supposed to come? However, upon recognizing Li Hengsheng, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, immediately followed by a forced smile. "So it’s the honorable Inspector. May I ask what brought you here, sir?"

"Nothing much, just a routine inspection," Li Hengsheng replied nonchalantly. "But your Caohe Village certainly has some nerve, stubbornly blocking my entrance. Could there be something unsavory happening here at the dock?"

"Haha, Inspector, you certainly know how to joke," Xu Ruhu laughed. "How could we possibly prevent you from entering? We are law-abiding businessmen. Those two are new and headstrong, unwise in their actions. I’ll make sure to discipline them properly afterward."

"Inspector, Chief Constable Lin, this way, please. I’ve arranged for some premium tea to apologize," Xu Ruhu gestured invitingly.

"No need for tea, and it looks like Steward Xu is busy; isn’t the ship about to dock?" Li Hengsheng glanced into the distance, the ship now less than three hundred meters from shore, about to land.

"It’s no issue, truly no issue. My presence isn’t necessarily required for this task. My subordinates can handle it. Haha, since you’re here, I must ensure proper hospitality. Otherwise, the Manor Master might blame me for being inhospitable later."

Xu Ruhu quickly laughed and said.
