Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 120 - 119 Patrol

"I have already prepared most of what’s on the list."

Now that it was confirmed Xia Yu was part of the rebels, Zheng Ze stopped probing.

"Give me the cultivation technique! I’ll give you the items!"

The urgency in his heart was unmistakable in his voice.

A Third Grade cultivation technique, finally the Zheng Family would have one. The excitement was overwhelming.

It felt as though he himself would soon reach the Third Grade.

However....

"Hehe...."

Xia Yu chuckled lightly. He had felt the same initially, but how could it be so easy, especially when it came to Third Grade cultivation techniques.

"Once the items reach the rebels, someone will naturally bring it over."

"No!"

Zheng Ze shook his head and refused directly.

Most of these items were treasures of the Zheng Family accumulated over years. With the Divine Capture Bureau’s strict searches, who would bear the responsibility if something went wrong?

By that time, the items could be gone, and the cultivation technique nowhere in sight.

Wouldn’t that be a total loss?

So it had to be an exchange: items for the cultivation technique.

"So the Patriarch Zheng doesn’t trust me?" Xia Yu showed dissatisfaction.

"I only trust what’s in hand, nobody else." Zheng Ze said coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

Trust you?

Did he really look like a three-year-old child? With so many valuable items, even if his own father were here, it wouldn’t make a difference.

"Half? I can only give you half of the cultivation technique first, that’s it. If you don’t agree, consider I never came to the Zheng Family!"

With that, Xia Yu prepared to stand up.

It wasn’t that he intended to do this; the rebels only gave him half of the Third Grade cultivation technique. Only when he successfully transported these valuable items to the rebels could he receive the remaining half.

Did they think the rebels were saints?

Delivering a Third Grade cultivation technique without any merit?

This was a Third Grade cultivation technique, not some common trinket.

"No...."

Seeing Xia Yu about to leave, Zheng Ze panicked.

Having taken such a big risk, with the Third Grade cultivation technique almost in hand, and now Xia Yu wanted to leave? Wouldn’t that be letting a cooked duck fly away?

"What? Do you plan to force me to stay?"

Xia Yu’s expression darkened, yet he was not the least bit afraid. He dared to come alone to the Zheng Family, of course, he wasn’t afraid of a confrontation.

"No, no, Chief Constable Xia misunderstood. I was just anxious and may have misspoken, please forgive me."

Zheng Ze, seeing this, lowered his face and apologized.

"Hmph!"

Xia Yu snorted coldly and didn’t argue further.

"Is it really impossible to give it all at once?" Zheng Ze asked persistently.

"Alas..." Xia Yu showed helplessness, sighed, and then explained,

"To tell the truth, the rebels only gave me half. Otherwise, we are both in this together, why make it so troublesome? Moreover, you know the great risk in transporting these out. If not for the Third Grade cultivation technique, do you think I would take this risk?"

Zheng Ze was half convinced by this.

Indeed,

The rebels wouldn’t be so foolish.

Though he was unwilling, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

Just take a gamble!

At this moment, Xia Yu also felt a sigh of relief. Zheng Ze eventually agreed, otherwise, he would have to turn to other prominent families, which would increase the risk significantly.

Moreover, this matter couldn’t be delayed any longer.

Firstly, he was eager to get the Third Grade cultivation technique, and once he obtained it, he planned to leave Youlan Mansion and head to the states occupied by the rebels. If his actions were discovered, it would mean certain death!

Secondly, the rebels were in urgent need of these items, which gave him a bad premonition. Coupled with the increasing frequency of searches by the Divine Capture Bureau, it would become even more difficult to transport these items out.

So it had to be completed quickly.

The two of them agreed to conduct the transaction the next night.

Because the next night he would be patrolling, and the guards at the city gate were also from the rebels. He just needed to safely deliver these items to the city gate.

...

Early the next morning, Chen Xuan arrived at the Divine Capture Bureau Headquarters.

In the hall, he detailed the results of the recent raids to Zhuge Potian.

However, after listening, Zhuge Potian frowned.

"So there’s no trace of the rebels in the recent raids?"

"Yes, Lord, I’ve also had people keep an eye on those prominent families, and there’s nothing to report!"

"This isn’t right...." Zhuge Potian muttered to himself, puzzled.

It was Feng Zheng who told him, the rebels definitely had a mole in the city, and his information shouldn’t be wrong.

But nothing was found in the recent raids.

Where are they hiding?

"This is really headache-inducing."

Zhuge Potian sat in his chair, rubbing his temples.

The city is so vast, with countless inns, taverns, and pleasure quarters, let alone those noble families deeply rooted in Youlan Mansion.

If someone truly intends to help hide people, it might not be as hard as climbing to the sky, but it’s close enough.

"What should we do now?" At this moment, Chen Xuan was helpless and could only ask him.

"Continue the sweep!" At this time, he raised his head and looked at Chen Xuan, continuing, "No matter where these people are hiding, they must leave the city eventually. Moreover, a few days ago, Chief Steward Feng received news that the rebels are contacting these noble families for some rare treasures this time."

"Rare treasures? What are they used for?" Chen Xuan asked.

"I don’t know." Zhuge Potian shook his head, Feng Zheng didn’t tell him.

"Is there any news now about which noble families the rebels have contacted?"

"Yes..."

"Then why not just arrest them all and investigate, won’t we find out? Or is there a concern?"

"Concern about what! Chief Steward Feng said the person they caught implicated almost every noble family in Youlan Mansion! How can we arrest them? Unless we want to destroy the entire Youlan Mansion."

Zhuge Potian looked at him as if he were a fool.

If it were that simple, would the Divine Capture Bureau go through so much trouble?

"Uh... Let’s pretend I didn’t say anything."

Chen Xuan was embarrassed. Indeed, he hadn’t thought it through. Besides, the person they caught was quite cunning.

Or maybe they are deliberately trying to confuse the public to protect the noble families they contacted.

"But..." At this point, Zhuge Potian paused, showing a confident smile, and continued, "The fox will reveal its tail eventually, so stay still and wait for action!"

"Haha..."

Chen Xuan laughed internally, thinking Zhuge Potian would have a good plan, but it turns out it’s just waiting like sitting by a tree stump waiting for a rabbit.

Just wait!

"But you should be aware that since the rebels can contact noble families, it’s not impossible within the Divine Capture Bureau." Zhuge Potian’s smile faded, becoming serious.

This was his biggest worry.

If this really happens, it might be really hard to catch them.

"Not possible, it’s certain."

Chen Xuan thought to himself, the last time he killed Celestial Master Long’s group, they were planning to infiltrate the Divine Capture Bureau, but they were accidentally killed by him.

Otherwise, the Divine Capture Bureau might have ended up being controlled by the rebels.

Of course, he couldn’t share this information.

But he did mention that his Divine Capture Bureau in the East District was definitely fine, the rest he was unsure of.

...

After bidding farewell to Zhuge Potian, Chen Xuan returned to the Divine Capture Bureau in the East District.

Upon entering the Government Office, he saw Qin Gang and Liu He discussing something. Once they saw him, they immediately stood up and said seriously, "Boss!"

"Alright, alright, I’ve told you many times, stop with these formalities. So, what were you discussing?"

Chen Xuan sat down casually and asked.

"Well, Liu and I were thinking that the sweeps for the past few days have gained nothing. Could it be that there are issues within us?"

Qin Gang appeared to be considering this possibility.

"I don’t know, maybe." Even if Chen Xuan knew about this internally, he couldn’t say it without evidence.

"Boss, should we shuffle positions like last time and switch to other districts, disrupting everything?"

At this moment, Liu He also asked.

"Forget it, let it be! Lord Zhuge’s advice is to wait! Let’s listen to him."

Disrupting the districts has little significance because if the Divine Capture Bureau is bribed by the rebels, apart from him, the other three districts are likely compromised.

As for why he’s excluded, perhaps it’s because he’s been frequently appearing at the Divine Capture Bureau Headquarters or the City Lord’s Mansion lately.

The rebels couldn’t guarantee they could buy him off.

Moreover, he had a suspicion that the rebels might have guessed that the people who died previously had connections to him.

"By the way, recently, you’ll have to endure a bit of hardship." After speaking, he got up and entered the room inside, starting his cultivation.

No matter how big the situation is now, cultivation cannot be delayed. In this chaotic world, strength determines everything.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.

Xia Yu was patrolling the South District with four chief constables.

But the four chief constables behind him were arranged in neat rows, with a space of one and a half steps between them.

If one looked closely, they would find a black wooden box between the front and rear.

However, due to the dark night and their good cooperation, from a distance, it seemed like a normal patrol.

At this moment, Xia Yu cautiously surveyed the surroundings, even though it was already late at night, he dared not let his guard down.

As for the four behind him, they were loyal beyond loyal.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan did not return to the Chen Mansion today, instead, he concealed his aura completely, continuously changing positions, monitoring the entire district.

With his current Third Grade strength, actively concealing his aura along with the Spirit Talisman given by Xuan Er, it’s almost impossible for others of the same level to detect him.

Originally, he didn’t want to deal with this bothersome task, but today at the Divine Capture Bureau Headquarters, as he was leaving, Zhuge Potian expressed his concern about internal issues within the Divine Capture Bureau, suggesting he patrol at night.

After all, the Divine Capture Bureau trusted him most now, plus he was the Deputy Director of the Divine Capture Bureau with such responsibility.

But this matter couldn’t be disclosed to anyone.

He had no choice, even if Chen Xuan was unwilling, he had to reluctantly agree.

"Nothing wrong here."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, "One more patrol in the South District, then home! I still have important matters to attend to!"

With that, his silhouette vanished from his original spot.
