Chapter 53: The Unlucky Left Sima!

Although Su Xuan knew who was responsible for Liu Yi's death due to the plot,

in order to put on a show that he was truly investigating the case,

he still had to conduct an on-site inspection.

Even if he possessed the Technique of Penetrating the Nether and could "summon" Liu Yi's ghost, he had to go to the site first to find some items to use as a medium, just like when he dug up so much soil in the Valley of Broken Souls.

Therefore, upon learning that Su Xuan intended to leave the palace to go to Left Sima Liu Yi's mansion, the Han Wang gladly agreed.

Come to think of it, Su Xuan could actually leave the palace at will. Earlier, because the Han Wang was worried that Su Xuan would be lonely in the palace, he gave him a token, but for Su Xuan, there were only a few places in Xinzheng City worth visiting.

He could not muster much interest.

With that time, cultivating honestly and improving his strength was the key.

In the time he spent wandering outside, he could use the technique of ingestion to refine another elixir and improve a wisp of magic power.

After all, Su Xuan was an Immortal Master; he could not do everything himself. Therefore, for Su Xuan's convenience, the Han Wang sent several guards to follow by his side to be at his beck and call.

Because of their pleasant cooperation during the Ghost Soldier Pay case earlier, the leader of the guards this time was still Han Jiuli.

The two could be considered old acquaintances.

Liu Yi's mansion was huge; although not as luxurious as Ji Wuye's mansion, its footprint was not small.

When Su Xuan and Han Jiuli arrived at Liu Yi's mansion, the first thing they saw were the soldiers surrounding it. Su Xuan was not surprised by this; Liu Yi, as the current Left Sima, had a high status, and his death was shrouded in doubt. To find the truth, the primary crime scene and those eyewitnesses had to be strictly protected.

Han Jiuli stepped forward and presented the Han Wang's edict. Then, the soldiers guarding the mansion immediately took the initiative to clear the path. At the same time, their gazes toward Su Xuan, who followed behind Han Jiuli, flickered slightly.

There were not many people in the State of Han who knew about this Immortal Master who could summon wind and rain and call upon gods and ghosts, but those who had seen him were truly few. This was their first time seeing Su Xuan, so they were inevitably somewhat astonished.

As for his strength, that remained unknown, but his appearance was indeed... extraordinary!

As Su Xuan stepped into Liu Yi's mansion,

soon, a woman dressed in emerald green robes, with a beautiful and somewhat delicate appearance, slowly arrived in the main hall.

Upon seeing this woman, Han Jiuli's eyes lit up slightly. He had not expected Liu Yi's wife to be such a beauty. It was hard to tell, but that guy Liu Yi was quite lucky. However, no matter how lucky he was, after death, nothing remained.

Han Jiuli immediately withdrew his gaze.

As a guard of the Imperial Guard by the King's side, he knew very well that some people could not be provoked. Although he envied that Liu Yi's wife was such a beauty, Liu Yi was, after all, the Left Sima with a high status; even if he were dead, his wife was not someone to be trifled with casually.

Su Xuan did not have these concerns. With a calm expression, his gaze fell on Lady Hu, and he said, "I am acting under the King's orders to investigate the death of Left Sima Liu Yi. Please tell me everything you know!"

Lady Hu nodded. Before coming here, she already knew Su Xuan's identity and also knew that Su Xuan was the expert by the King's side who had once summoned wind and rain to resolve the drought.

However, an expert or whatever was too far away from her, so even though she knew, she had never hoped to meet Su Xuan. She had not expected to meet him under such circumstances.
