This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 324 - 62 Spring Comes and I Don’t Speak First (Part 2)

Chapter 324 -62 Spring Comes and I Don’t Speak First (Part 2)

If someone wearing the Green-faced Ghost’s mask appeared in Datong Prefecture City, would the Inspection Bureau arrest him or not?

This question caused Shangguan Xiao’s eyes to shift rapidly as she suddenly turned to look at Du Changhe.

“This…”

Du Changhe’s gaze flickered, observing Yan Shijin’s expression, and asked:

“What does Master Yan think?”

Yan Shijin pointed at the two Exotic Beast heads on the carriage and said aloud:

“Master Du, look, the Green-faced Ghost that Fan Yan mentioned is so powerful that if he and the person being pursued are not the same individual, sending people from the Inspection General Bureau to arrest him could provoke quite a storm, couldn’t it?”

Du Changhe opened his mouth to speak, but Yan Shijin waved his hand to stop him:

“Of course, the Inspection General Bureau has the responsibility to maintain the order and peace of the prefecture city. Should there truly be evildoers committing unlawful acts and defying the Da Lan Dynasty’s laws, no matter how formidable, they must be strictly punished! However, if it is indeed a misunderstanding and the wrong person is apprehended, wouldn’t it mean the Inspection General Bureau has wasted its manpower for nothing, and also turned against a powerful Martial Artist? That would be a loss for our great Da Lan Dynasty!”

Du Changhe couldn’t help but nod: “Master Yan makes a valid point.”

Yan Shijin continued:

“Moreover, as long as the identity of this Green-faced Ghost remains unconfirmed, it could possibly be impersonated at any given moment, requiring only a matching mask to commit acts. Having such a person on a wanted poster might easily be exploited by those with ulterior motives; I find this somewhat inappropriate.”

Although he had always referred to himself as ‘I’, the sudden shift to ‘this official’ might not have brought a change in tone, but it instantly made all the officers present tense up.

After all, this was a Deputy Inspector who, in theory, has the power to investigate every official in Datong Prefecture from top to bottom!

“Master Yan’s lesson is well noted; indeed, I have been negligent in this matter.”

Du Changhe promptly bowed his head in acknowledgment of his error.

“Eh, I am merely offering a suggestion, no need for Master Du to be so tense,”

Yan Shijin suddenly smiled.

That did not, however, cause Du Changhe to relax, as he decisively said:

“I will issue an order to cancel the pursuit of the Green-faced Ghost immediately and issue a new one after the real identity is clarified.”

Having been in Datong Prefecture City for a month without any movements did not mean it would remain quiet forever; Du Changhe did not wish to be the first to stick his neck out and did not hesitate to choose to rescind the warrant.

At this juncture, everyone could see that Yan Shijin was attempting to recruit the Green-faced Ghost.

The implications behind his actions were certainly worth deep consideration.

“Since the wanted Green-faced Ghost is accused of murder in Xing City, let Xing City handle the initial investigation before reporting back to Datong Prefecture City.”

Yan Shijin proposed another suggestion.

“Master Yan’s reasoning is sound; let’s do it that way.”

Du Changhe agreed without objection.

Shangguan Xiao and the members of the Zhang Family listened with inward glee.

As allies, the biggest issue for the Green-faced Ghost lay in an identity unfit for public exposure.

Individuals like ‘Beast King’, ‘Gun King’, ‘Poison King,’ and others may have numerous unseeable underground businesses and a basket of unlawful activities, but on the surface, they are all social elites—either the chairman of a chamber of commerce or the director of a famous big company.

‘Beast King’ Yu Longqing even held the title of ‘Charity Ambassador’ for Datong Prefecture.

The Green-faced Ghost was at a significant disadvantage regarding identity when confronted with these powers.

An example of this was Yu Longqing, who used his influence within the government to place the Green-faced Ghost on Datong Prefecture’s wanted list.

But now, following Yan Shijin’s remarks, the Green-faced Ghost could henceforth appear in Datong Prefecture City in broad daylight!

Yan Shijin recommended that Xing City should first clarify the real identity of the Green-faced Ghost before making a report, but who among the people present didn’t know that Xing City was now the Green-faced Ghost’s Headquarters?

Asking Xing City to investigate was likely to yield no results even after a hundred years.

After Du Changhe had expressed his stance, Yan Shijin turned to look at Shangguan Xiao:

“I am here specifically for the matter concerning your father. I planned to visit and offer my condolences to Helmsman Zhang after the murderer was brought to justice, but now that we have met by chance today, may I trouble you to lead me so I can pay my respects?”

At these words, members of the Zhang family could barely contain their laughter!

Today, Yan Shijin had first resolved the Green-faced Ghost’s identity issues and now proposed to pay his respects to Zhang Zongyang in person; his intentions could not be clearer.

The goodwill offered by this Deputy Inspector was like sending coals in snowy weather to the current Zhang Family!

“Of course, on behalf of my father, I thank Master Yan.”

Shangguan Xiao bowed respectfully to Yan Shijin.

Yan Shijin extended his hand to support her: “No need for such formalities, we—”

Before he could finish, Shangguan Xiao suddenly reached out and grasped his wrist, pulling him swiftly away!

As Shangguan Xiao moved, Fan Yan released a burst of red colored Force, turned, and threw a punch into the air.

Bang!

Boom—

The radiant red Fist Gang soared like a red comet across the sky, colliding with an incoming bullet and smashing it into dust!

“Be careful, sir!”

“Assassin—”

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Some cried out in alarm, some sought cover, while others rushed toward Yan Shijin.

Shangguan Xiao activated her Wind Gang strength, forming a gust to envelope both herself and Yan Shijin, shielding them in case more bullets were fired.

Fan Yan moved to their side, equally on alert and scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Both he and Shangguan Xiao had almost simultaneously perceived the incoming bullet aimed at Yan Shijin; hence, one moved to pull Yan away while the other broke the bullet with Fist Gang.

It wasn’t just Martial Artists with an Extraordinary Ability like ‘Danger Perception’ who could sense impending threats in advance; a Martial Artist’s senses are very sharp—the higher their Realm, the truer that is. However, those with similar abilities would be even stronger in this aspect.
