Ning Xiaohui also felt the heavy atmosphere between Lin Yan and Liu Lanqing. She rubbed her chin with her fingers. “They want to deal with our Demon Suppression Division? No way?”

Lin Yan said, “Issuer Liu, we have to investigate carefully and see what conspiracy is behind it…”

“Investigate carefully?” Liu Lanqing chuckled. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’m going out for a while. You guys can go back first.”

After saying that, she stood up and walked out. In the blink of an eye, she had already reached the door.

Ning Xiaohui hurriedly asked, “Issuer Liu, where are you going!”

“Of course I’ll ask in person! Since this matter is related to Huo Qing and Fu Zishi, I’ll go straight to them. I don’t think they dare to not answer.”

“What if they don’t tell us…”

Liu Lanqing turned around and revealed a meaningful smile. In her palm, a ball of blazing flames circled her sleeve. “They wouldn’t dare to say nothing!”

The corners of Lin Yan’s lips twitched. He had forgotten that Liu Lanqing’s style had always been swift and decisive!

Five days later.

Lin Yan woke up early and had breakfast. He checked Xiaozhi’s body as usual and didn’t find anything unusual.

In the courtyard, he recited the Wondrous Tao Te Ching and practiced the Tiger-Shaped Fist a few times. Then, he took a shower, put on his patrol officer uniform, and went out.

Ning Xiaohui was already waiting at the door. She pouted and looked at Lin Yan resentfully.

She was clearly Lin Yan’s contact, but Lin Yan had become the commander of the patrol team. She was being suppressed by Lin Yan instead. Anyone would be unhappy about this.

Lin Yan pretended not to see it and brought her out.

There were originally nine districts in the inner city, but now, they had been connected. There were a total of more than 400 genius seeds. About 40 to 50 people were assigned to each district. It did not look like much.

However, these 40 to 50 people were all at the Tough Realm and were all geniuses. Even if one-tenth of them caused trouble, it would not be a small matter.

Therefore, all the patrol guards were pulled back to the inner city to patrol strictly. They were specially in charge of the order of the genius seeds in the inner city. This was also the reason why simple patrols could be rewarded with a Small Merit every two days.

Lin Yan and Ning Xiaohui were assigned to Chengguang District and Chengde District, which were adjacent.

There were not many pedestrians on the streets. Most of them were local residents, and there were not many geniuses who went out. It was as easy as before to patrol.

Of course, this was not because these young geniuses were very obedient.

On the contrary, these young geniuses were actually all hot-blooded and had long been tempted to explore the new environment to their heart’s content.

However, five days ago, Liu Lanqing’s “lawless” fire not only swept away the previous rumors, but also stunned these young geniuses.

It was said that on that day, Liu Lanqing went to Huo Qing and Fu Zishi politely and asked them directly.

After being rejected as a matter of course, Liu Lanqing directly endured Huo Qing and Fu Zishi’s forces that almost shook the entire wooden building in front of all the genius seeds, burning their hair, turning their heads into bald braised eggs.

She did not give the two of them any face at all!

Then, she said ruthlessly, “If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll burn your clothes next time. I’ll burn them every time I see them in the future!”

“Wouldn’t that make them even angrier?”

“Of course, they were so angry that their eyes turned red. Then, they immediately invited me into the house and explained everything.”

“???”

“They know my personality. I always do what 1 say!”

Liu Lanqing, who had returned, repeated the scene calmly, stunning Lin Yan and Ning Xiaohui.

This operation was more than slapping people in the face. It was basically stepping on others and rubbing them on the ground, right?

Liu Lanqing said that the two of them had indeed instigated the other inspectors to spread the rumors together. The reason was that they felt that Liu Lanqing was really domineering and they had to make things difficult for her to vent their anger.

It seemed reasonable.

But Lin Yan didn’t believe this explanation.

It was still the same problem. The various factions were all competitors. The Demon Suppression Division was huge. Was there a need to use such a clumsy method that could be seen through at a glance to trip Liu Lanqing up?

Especially when they knew Liu Lanqing’s swift and decisive style and terrifying strength, they still dared to do this. Wasn’t this asking for trouble?

After that, Lin Yan thought about it and had a feeling that Liu Lanqing had been tricked.

However, after five days, nothing happened. He could only admit that he was overthinking.

“Lin Yan, look!”

At this moment, Ning Xiaohui suddenly called out and pointed ahead of the road.

It was an antique restaurant. On the stone brick road in front of the restaurant, there were two groups of about four to five people, and they were nervously confronting each other.

“These few? Why are they here again?”

Between the two parties, one party had darker skin, as if they had been exposed to the wind and sun all year round.

The other side was much fairer. It was obvious that they did not come from the same city.

This was not the first time Lin Yan had seen these two groups of people.

The tanned side was from Fenghe City, a city that was said to be adjacent to a huge lake. The climate was hot, and the residents in the city relied on the lake to survive. They entered the water on boats and were generally tanned.

On the other side was Qingliang City, a city similar to Ding’an City with no special characteristics.

It was said that when these two groups of people came to Ding’an City, they came on the same path. There had been conflicts between them over some small matters previously.

In the past few days, there had been even more friction between them in the inner city. The conflicts kept escalating. In just five days, Lin Yan had encountered quarrels, swearing, and confrontations three to four times..
