Chapter 1567: Chapter 1560: Overly Sensitive

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly left. Hu Daoke walked up to Cheng Ziang, somewhat at a loss, and said, "Well, Old Cheng, let’s go out first, this place is going to catch fire."

Hearing his words, Cheng Ziang, not minding the blood on his hands, lifted his mask to wipe away the tears that were about to overflow, then sniffed and stood up, letting All-knowing lie back down in the pool of blood.

"In less than five days, so many people have died, and all are related to us. Who exactly is targeting us?" Cheng Ziang gritted his teeth and asked.

"Anyway, let’s go back and talk about it." Hu Daoke said cautiously.

"Let’s go, let’s go back," Cheng Ziang sighed deeply, bowed to All-knowing, then turned around and left the room with Hu Daoke.

The two stepped outside, where people around them had begun carrying water to put out the fire. The crackling of flames and the shouts of the crowd were incessant. The onlookers, seeing these two blood-covered, masked figures exiting, measured them with frightened eyes, not daring to approach.

Feng stood outside the house, holding a long sword, like a rock amidst a rapid stream, dividing the fire-fighters into two groups.

About ten minutes later, Baiyue finally ran back. When she came in front of Cheng Ziang, she instinctively bowed her head, walked carefully up to him, pursed her lips and said, "By the time we got there, it was already too late... The entire family of All-knowing, all of them..."

Before she could finish, Cheng Ziang suddenly yanked off the mask from his face, threw it forcefully on the ground, and roared angrily, "Damn it, these bastards!"

"But we also found out that woman’s identity, the situation isn’t too bad, is it?" Hu Daoke tried to console him.

Hearing this, Cheng Ziang turned and glared at him, his face contorted as he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean it’s not too bad? I’d rather not have such bloody information!"

"Calm down, let’s go back and discuss this first," Baiyue consoled.

Thus, the group, carrying with them bloodstains and a sense of loss, returned to the lodge. This intelligence gathering had been an utter failure, not to mention that the informant had been silenced. This inevitably led Cheng Ziang to seriously ponder what kind of organization was targeting the Advance Team.

"Heterogeneous Hall?" Luo’er murmured with narrowed eyes after listening to Cheng Ziang’s report.

"Yes," Cheng Ziang nodded despondently.

"Is that all?" Tangmo pressed.

"The informant has already been silenced," Cheng Ziang said through gritted teeth, still unable to quell his indignation, "I’m certain there are people in the underground circles who know their identities, but if we dare to find these people, they dare to silence them. This despicable, damnable organization."

"It seems our actions are being monitored by them; they are in the shadows, and we are exposed. We must be very careful in anything we do," Tangmo analyzed, nodding.

"We’ve only been in Kyushu for less than five days, yet so much has happened, so many have died. All of this must surely be related to Dongliang Yu. Coming to Kyushu is like stepping into a spider’s web. Whether it’s Xihe or Luzun Hong, or that mysterious organization, everything gives a pressuring and urgent feel," Baiyue said with a frown.

"Do you mean that these parties are not independent, but interconnected?" Tangmo asked.

"From Dongliang Yu to Xihe and Luzun Hong, and then to this mysterious organization, I don’t think it is a mere coincidence," Baiyue pondered.

"What kind of organization is the Heterogeneous Hall, really?" Tangmo murmured to himself.

Meanwhile, upon hearing about the tragedy at the Luo Yue Gathering, Ah Si rushed to the previous room and re-lit the candle on the table in the middle of the room. Before long, several familiar silhouettes appeared before her again.

"Who allowed you to take matters into your own hands? Didn’t we agree not to startle the snake by hitting the grass? Now look what you’ve done, causing such a disturbance, killing so many people," Ah Si said angrily.

"Make it clear, we are wiping your ass. Isn’t it right for others to handle things when your own tail isn’t clean?" the man who loved to argue with her said coldly.

"Cleaning up my mess, and I should thank you for that?" Ah Si laughed angrily, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"If it weren’t for our timely intervention, that fat dead man would have almost disclosed our entire Heterogeneous Hall. Xihe, this fool, really shouldn’t know about our relationship with the government. As soon as Luzun Hong left, he started doing whatever he pleased," the man coldly stated.

"Are you planning to slaughter him as well, then let the foreigners continue their investigation?" Ah Si asked.

"Heh, Xihe is just a commoner, without any backing in the Imperial Court. Without the Ministry’s favor, could he have attained the position of a governor? For people like him, if they die, they die, there are others to replace him..."

As the man spoke, he suddenly changed his tone, looking at Ah Si with a mocking tone, "Speaking of which, you seem quite concerned about those foreigners. Could it be that the people of Kyushu don’t satisfy you, and you want to hook up with foreigners?"

"Shut your filthy mouth, you vulgar thing," Ah Si retorted rudely.

"Alright, be quiet," the man, who seemed composed, finally couldn’t endure the quarrel between the two and took the initiative to mediate, "The events of these past few days did indeed go a bit too far, almost letting these people discover our identities. Keep it low lately, try not to cause any more disturbances. I definitely do not want the Wu Family to hear about it and come troubling us; if people from the Wu Family took you, even offering all of your heads to Young Lord as an apology wouldn’t be enough."

"What on earth is Luzun Hong up to, letting Xihe monitor them all by himself?" the man asked puzzledly.

"Stop complaining, it’s said that the Wuting Clan has stirred up trouble again, that’s why Luzun Hong had to rush over to resolve the situation," the composed man stated.

"Wuting, always them, these Wu Family people never let us have peace," the man complained bitterly.

"Could there be some deceit involved? It always feels strange, the Wuting Clan causing trouble neither sooner nor later, but precisely when these foreigners come to Kyushu," Ah Si pondered and asked.

"Don’t worry, the Wuting Clan isn’t a giant force like those from Hua State, they can’t stir up too much trouble. Don’t forget, the Huayu Family of Hua State is on our side, and even if worst comes to worst, it wouldn’t let people go over to the Wuting Clan," the composed man reassured with a wave of his hand.

"Is it really no issue, after all, these people are humans, not animals that can be driven by our whims," Ah Si said worriedly.

"Ha, I knew you had a thing for that foreigner, and you still won’t admit it," the man said with a cold laugh.

"You, you just want to pick a fight with me, don’t you." Hearing his words, Ah Si’s anger flared once again, nearly at a loss for words.

"Enough, both of you shut up; if you dare to argue again, don’t blame me for being unpleasant. Heterogeneous Hall is always so undisciplined, when will you be as obedient as Lieying Tang?" the composed man said with a hint of anger.

"Those people are all major figures from the aristocratic families, how can we mere commoners be compared with them?" the man shrugged his shoulders, speaking sarcastically.

"Anyway, stay out of trouble during this period, don’t stir up more issues. If those people become alert and defect to the Wuting Clan, it would be bad. Especially you," the man said, glancing at Ah Si, "As long as you don’t show up actively, they will never be able to find you. Remember your mission, remember who you are striving for, and don’t stir up trouble anymore."

"I understand..." Ah Si said dreamily, subconsciously shaking a bell to assert her presence.

"That’s it, disperse!" The man said, blowing out the candle, making the room dark again.

Ah Si no longer shook the bell, but tightly covered it with her hand. Practicing the Fog Concealment Skill, she would immediately be forgotten if she stopped emphasizing her presence.

This time, she actively used the skill to conceal herself. Once everything around became quiet, she took a deep breath and slowly sat down, muttering to herself, "Does he... think I am responsible for all this?"
