Liu family lives, is bustling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the road in front of the gated community, there is a ceaseless flow of cars and people coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, opulent luxury cars stop, and lavishly dressed people, whose high-ranking status you can guess at a single glance, step out of the cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They enter the residential area, either alone or accompanied by others, under the special reception of Liu family members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The centenary birthday of the Head of Liu family is a big event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distant relatives of the Liu family who have spread out and established themselves in other places all come to celebrate, and representatives from the other six of the Seven Great Families also arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only this, but prominent figures from all walks of life come too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them are business elites, socialites, high-ranking figures from various community associations, and even some individuals with official status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the road, numerous media journalists carry cameras to broadcast live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The descendants of the Head of the Liu family stand at the entrance of the residential area, all of them busy welcoming guests with a smile on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who come to wish him a happy birthday are not ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since people have come, of course, they must be properly entertained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, an extended luxury car with a special license plate full of \"8\"s slowly stops in front of the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car door opens, and a stunning beauty in a white evening gown, tall and slender, steps out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance at the woman, the descendants of the Liu family are all amazed, and the surrounding visitors also turn their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised at the woman’s beauty, most people are also filled with wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The majority of the people present recognise this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini, the youngest of the seven children of Jiang Liao, the head of the Jiang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognising Jiang Yini, they naturally know that she had been rebellious and had run away from home for more than ten years, and had never returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden arrival of her, representative of the Jiang family to the Liu family, how could it not surprise people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini’s return to the Jiang family is important news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after returning, she represents the Jiang family to wish a happy birthday to the Head of the Liu family, an act that reveals a piece of information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jiang family might be seeking to form a marital alliance with the Liu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, with Jiang Yini’s status and position, she wouldn’t need to personally come to wish the Head of the Liu family a happy birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu family, after all, is different from the other six Great Families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What really has prestige is not the head of the family, but rather Liu Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the other six families send people over, they are just paying lip service, perhaps sending minor relatives or those of modest importance, but they would never send direct relatives of the clan chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like Jiang Yini who hasn’t yet married, to represent the family and come to wish someone a happy birthday, it’s quite unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the Seven Great Families has a long history, and their views tend to be quite conservative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It isn’t appropriate for a woman who is not yet married to be overly conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding that the Jiang family might be trying to form a marital alliance with the Liu family, the color on the faces of the visitors subtly changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jiang family is very special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Seven Great Families in the capital, there are many marital alliances and instances of strong families joining forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this does not include the Jiang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that the Jiang family does not form marital alliances, but because they are within the system, the objects of their alliances have never been from the other six families, but instead with people related to the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Jiang family is indeed planning to form a marital alliance with the Liu family, this will be a groundbreaking event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its impact could even potentially change the situation where descendants of the six families are unable to enter the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting aside the visitors, the descendants of the Liu family are all looking baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who are currently welcoming guests outside are all direct descendants of the Head of the Liu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are well aware of what’s happening within their family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An alliance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no such thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just being able to have someone from the Jiang family with its special status come is already giving enough face to the Liu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why has someone like Jiang Yini come?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the descendants of the Liu family look at each other in confusion, a rather handsome young man steps forward with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s name is Liu Ce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is Liu Teng’s only son, the head of the Liu Family, and his position in the Liu Family is peerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the direct descendants, he is the most suitable and most qualified person to receive Jiang Yini.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greeting Jiang Yini, Liu Ce speaks in a refined and courteous manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Jiang, a blink of an eye and more than ten years have passed by. I didn’t expect to see you today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon getting off the car, Jiang Yini has been standing here for a while, being watched by everyone, and she feels very uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is used to being in the spotlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when in the spotlight, amongst the envious eyes and odd stares, she dislikes it immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that someone from the Liu family finally comes to greet her, Jiang Yini looks at Liu Ce and realizes she doesn’t remember him. She nods with a slight smile on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t recognize Liu Ce, but Liu Ce recognized her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was necessary to play along in public, she couldn’t just blurt out, \"Who are you, handsome guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she came alone, that would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key is, she is here representing the Jiang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Ce understood Jiang Yini’s awkward but polite smile. He knew that she did not recognize him and was merely saving his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children from the Seven Great Families, none of them were unfamiliar with engaging in intrigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environment in which they live demands so. Those who are not adept at it would be marginalized, or even lose their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his hand in a \"please\" gesture, Liu Ce smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Jiang, please come inside. The banquet is ready, and I will show you the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini nodded, then casually inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has Liu Sisi arrived?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Sisi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Ce paused in his steps, his brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one in the Liu family dared to claim they did not know who Liu Sisi was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was the only daughter of Liu Shi, the pillar of the Liu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu family had received news that Liu Sisi had made a breakthrough in her cultivation in faraway Jianghai, and had even found a boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liu Xiaoya and Liu Xiangdi came back and did not tell anyone else that Liu Sisi would be coming today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Liu Ce knew now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini was the director of the Jianghai Management Bureau, and Liu Sisi worked for the same Bureau, the former’s question suggested that the latter was already in the Hua Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Jiang Yini’s question indicates that she was visiting on behalf of the Jiang family for Liu Sisi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Ce was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders in the family had been discussing for some time now about sending someone to Jianghai to bring Liu Sisi back. How did she come back on her own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, how did Jiang Yini, who had previously ran away from home and flatly refused to return to the Jiang family, ended up coming back personally just for her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Liu Sisi had made a breakthrough, she was a late bloomer and was only a beginner in the Three Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she have that much influence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Definitely not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if her boyfriend’s influence was added, it couldn’t have prompted Jiang Yini to travel all the way back to the Hua Country!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much effort did the Jiang family put into trying to get Jiang Yini to come back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beginner in the Four Realm, was she worth all this bother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini was sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the suspicion on Liu Ce’s face, she immediately knew that Liu Sisi and Li Jing hadn’t arrived yet, she stopped and gave an apologetic smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t go in then, I’ll wait for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Ce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was thoroughly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was dumbfounded, the surrounding crowd started to stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Ce turned his puzzled attention to the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, everyone in his view, including the members of the Liu family, was staring at the distant night sky with pale faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subconsciously looking up, Liu Ce shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini also noticed the strange atmosphere and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming towards them at a rapid pace, were tens of thousands of glowing streaks of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, those tens of thousands of streaks of light stopped above everyone’s heads, revealing tens of thousands of flying Spirit Swords condensed from Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini was shocked at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recognized Li Jing’s handiwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time now, he had been flying with Spirit Swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he dare to do this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Hua Country!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grand entrance from afar was surely seen by half the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight would be enough for the Patrol Bureau’s report-hotline to blow up within minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he was an incumbent patrol officer with special privileges, he couldn’t recklessly use attack methods!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the ones of such a large scale that could scare people to death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he really capable of doing anything for Liu Sisi’s sake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Jiang Yini was shocked, Liu Ce beside her was scared silly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of Spirit Swords arriving in the air, could someone be attacking the Liu family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the perpetrator’s cultivation level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone daring to make a scene in the capital must be at least from the Sixth Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the current state in the sky, it probably is the Sixth Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Ce is trembling with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding guests are trembling as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had simply come to celebrate a birthday. Who could have expected that someone would target the Liu family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who did the Liu family offend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying spectacle before them made many of them reflexively recall the memory from over two decades ago when a certain patrol went mad, intending to destroy the entire capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disturbing and painful memories surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there still time to run now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when everyone was at the peak of their anxiety, all but one of the tens of thousands of spirit swords disappeared, and a formally dressed young man and woman slowly descended to the ground using the remaining spirit sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two landed, and the spirit weapon dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an eerie silence at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of those present were fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the young man and woman’s elaborate outfits, it was clear they were here to celebrate the birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two making such a grand entrance just to celebrate a birthday, do they think the Patrol Bureau is blind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrol will arrive soon, let’s see how they will explain then!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst shock and anger, everyone was also taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, they did not recognize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman, she bore a striking resemblance to Liu Shi, a member of the Liu family from the Sixth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The possibility that she is Liu Shi is, of course, very slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Liu Sisi and Liu Shi looked alike, there were still differences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Liu Shi was a great master of the Sixth Realm, she wouldn’t unnecessarily cling to an unknown man in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the question is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who is she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Ce and the rest of the family who had been greeting guests at the door were completely dumbfounded when they saw Liu Sisi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Liu Ce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known that Liu Sisi would come, but he did not expect her to make such a dramatic entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just outside, inside the party was likely in chaos as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t she afraid of the wrath of the family elders and being held accountable by the patrol?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had Liu Ce thought this, than a group of Liu family elders walked out with furious faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading them was today’s star, the head of the Liu family, Liu Teng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who dares to make trouble in my Liu family!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Teng took the lead with a livid expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he came out, his gaze fell on the eye-catching Li Jing and Liu Sisi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enraged head of the Liu family was immediately stunned for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So were the Liu family elders standing behind him, completely bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Sisi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family hadn’t even sent someone to Jianghai, how did she return?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the man beside her....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Liu family elders could fathom the situation, Jiang Yini walked over to Li Jing gracefully and chuckled at Liu Sisi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sisi, I didn’t bring a date with me. Would you mind if Li Jing lends me his arm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Liu Sisi’s response, she had already clung to Li Jing’s other arm with a charming smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, the man in question, twitched his mouth. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but right now he needed to maintain appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini was lowering her status to support him, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to pull his hand away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momentarily, Liu Sisi didn’t pay any attention to Jiang Yini.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because she was somewhat bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing had said that he would make a grand entrance, but she hadn’t expected Li Jing to really go all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Yini elegantly walk over and cling to Li Jing’s arm, both she and Liu Sisi appeared to be clinging to him, causing everyone present to be dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were used to seeing men surrounded by women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was Jiang Yini!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone was astounded, two beams of sword light flew in and landed nearby, revealing two male patrol officers with three bars and one star on their shoulders, their faces frozen in dark expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who used the magic skill that summoned tens of thousands of spirit soldiers a moment ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While asking, he and his companion naturally fixed their gaze on Li Jing, Liu Sisi, and Jiang Yini.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Jiang Yini, the two were taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the pair could regain their composure, Li Jing pulled his hands out of the arms of the two women, sheepishly presented his patrol certificate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize. I was a bit flamboyant with my Sky Control and couldn’t hold it down,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd all wore the same, dark look upon hearing his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was all that hoopla just Sky Control?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he lying with his eyes wide open?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Sisi and Jiang Yini, standing together, were a bit tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Jing can’t gloss over this incident, he’ll be heading to jail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrived patrol officers twitched at the corners of their mouths as they heard his explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen people with no shame, but never anyone this shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon seeing Li Jing’s patrol certificate, their expressions eased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patrol officers don’t fight amongst themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all in the same boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them reached out, took Li Jing’s certificate and opened it, his facial muscles twitched imperceptibly a couple of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other officer also twitched as he saw the content of the certificate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, part of the North City Patrol Division of Jianghai City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t he.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man the Immortal Studies Research Association reported to the Patrol Bureau last night as having learned a forbidden skill, the 22-year-old from the Fifth Boundary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bureau confirmed last night with the North City Patrol Division that he would be training with the Bureau Serious Case Group in three days, hence they didn’t rush to get in touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of those details were the most important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important point was, he was Chen Jing’s man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was Chen Jing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The madman who almost blew up the capital more than twenty years ago, only to be barely persuaded by two guardian gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man standing in front of them now was equally mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just last night, he drove a level five Spirit weapon and unreservedly traversed half of Hua Country to reach the capital, his cultivation level undisguised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then also last night, he learned a forbidden skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection of Li Jing, the two officers exchanged glances.

Mr. Li, your Sky Control is too flamboyant, I suggest you be mindful of the power you use, or... use a Precious Item for control,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they....just glossing over it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini squinted suspiciously at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed Li Jing could handle it, if he dared to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she never thought it would be so easy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capital patrol officers are not so easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the two who came were both from the Fifth Boundary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was fishy about this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing himself was rather surprised to see the situation defused so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally planned to demonstrate on the spot and continue his performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True, he might have been a bit over the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Spirit Soldier Break was undeniably his most modest Sky Control method at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His plan was to perform a slightly exaggerated Shock Thunder action, casually show off the two level five Spirit weapons that he possessed, and then shamelessly demonstrate a Spirit Soldier Break in the tens of thousands to let the patrol officers have a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his current power, achieving a Spirit Soldier Break in the tens of thousands was purely about quantity, it had no true power and was merely intimidating to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could confirm Spirit Soldier Break posed no threat, the issue could be put aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there was a lot at stake behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as no major incident occurred, the capital patrol would probably turn a blind eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the two patrol officers had casually swept the matter under the rug, Li Jing knew better than to continue his demonstration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took back his certificate and nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry to have disturbed you both. I’m here as a guest today and can’t spare the time. I’ll buy you two dinner when I report to the bureau in a few days,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, by that time we will be treating you,\" the silent officer replied with a smile. His eyes swept past Liu Teng and the other elders of the Liu family who were at the entrance of the residential area. \"We’ll return to report our findings and leave you in peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he and the other officer turned their swords into streaks of light and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing watched them leave, turned around, and then hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, there were two Liu Sisis looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The official Liu Sisi in black dress, her eyes full of tiny stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other one, dressed more casually, cast him an appreciative gaze, sizing him up.\u003C\u002Fp>",3286,"2026-06-06T07:41:35.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","5723ed2c6162caa9ad5f4a7088e814f5a46b28c938da323cf9d2c9d4ba9a0afb","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-197","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-195",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
