Chapter Sixty-Four: Distance

isk. Perhaps the Zhang family bloodline would end with him.But what astonished everyone even more was that Zhang Yong miraculously became the victor of the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm. He successf..."Well, there really is something."

Jiang Wang said, "I've recently been interested in going to the nearby island group. I was also thinking of stopping by the Ministry of Affairs and picking up a mission, but after searching for a long time, I haven't found a suitable one. I wonder if it's because I didn't look in the right place or maybe my authorization isn't enough."

He had no need to reject Zheng Shangming's overtures. Friendship is a matter of reciprocity, and relationships are cultivated through interaction.

And his visit to the Imperial Inspection Office this time was indeed under the pretense of taking on a mission.

As the killer of Hai Zongming, he was indeed acting in self-defense, and the battlefield was outside the sphere of influence of Qi State and Diaohai Tower. Diaohai Tower couldn't find any reason to publicly pursue him. But if he went to the nearby islands to swagger about, he would inevitably run into trouble.

As a male from the Qingyang Town, he was naturally protected by the Qi State.

A fourth-rank officer of the Qing Dynasty, who was on official business, was even more important. He could even be said to represent the face of Qi state in some sense.

Before Hai Zongming killed Jiang Wang, it was a private act and took place outside the Qi realm. At that time, if Jiang Wang had died, the Qi State would have certainly held the Dianhai Lou accountable. Even though Hai Zongming was the elder with real power, he couldn't escape consequences without paying a price. It's simply that Hai Zongming believed the value of the Hongzhuang Mirror outweighed the price he would pay for killing Jiang Wang, which is why he acted so boldly.

Even if he quietly killed Jiang Wang, Qi State would not be able to find the culprit, and they wouldn't have to pay a price.

As for the matter of Jiang Wang's counterattack against Hai Zongming, right and wrong have already been debated between Qi State and the Diaohai Building. The Diaohai Building is at a disadvantage in terms of emotion, reason, power, and strategy. Its current silence speaks volumes about the outcome.

In the present time, on the nearby islands, Di Hai Lou would not easily harm the Da Qi Marquis if he wasn't looking to start a war while carrying out his official duties.

This is one of them.

The second advantage is that Jiang Wang received a mission to the Near Sea Islands, so he would inevitably need to understand the Near Sea Islands first. Depending on the level of the mission, the City Guard Mansion will also open relevant information about the Near Sea Islands to him accordingly.

Combining the information gathered by Chong Xuan Sheng, he can better understand the islands near the coast. This is a win-win strategy with numerous benefits.

Zheng Shangming pondered for a moment: "There are quite a few things happening in the near-sea islands. You said you want a suitable task, why don't you tell me your requirements"

Jiang Wang didn't hide anything, and said directly: "The mission level can't be too low-level. It's best to be above the inner palace but not exceed the outer building."

Has your ability already advanced to such a level... that you're completely confident in handling cases from higher floors

Zheng Shangming looked deeply at Jiang Wang: "You wait here for a moment, I'll go and ask for you."

To obtain higher-level intel about the coastal islands from the Metropolitan Guardhouse, Jiang Wang could only try to increase the difficulty of his missions. However, he wasn't going to deliberately seek death. Missions above a certain level were not something he was qualified for.

As for just hanging a task and only looking at the intelligence without executing it, that's also not feasible. The Patrol Department has its own reward and punishment system. Take the task of pursuing Hell Unbarred that Jiang Wang took before, it was Northern Division Prefect Zheng Shi who made the introduction, and Captain Shen Leng Mo tacitly allowed him to leave with a nominal departure and tacitly assumed he wouldn't gain anything.

After all, who would think that a jailer at the Innate Realm could possibly know how to deal with Hell's Unopened Gate

So, this mission to the nearby islands that Jiang Wang accepted, he's going to take seriously and complete it well. Keeping all of his blue badges on him would also be beneficial for his future development in Qi State.

The Imperial City Patrol Department wasn't very high-ranking, but its office was huge. Constables in blue badges came and went, each one so good at watching people that it put a strange kind of pressure on you.

Jiang Wang waited in the hall for a while and unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

"Lord Jiang!" Lin Youxie, with a blue square scarf on his head, bowed from afar.

From within the ranks of Qingpai headhunters alone, Jiang Wang, who wore a fourth-rank Qingpai, was already one level higher than her.

Please let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

She behaved herself very properly and courteously. It was unclear whether this was due to her official rank of fourth-rank blue badge or because of Jiang Wang's warning last time.

"Long time no see, how are you doing"

"Thank you for your concern, everything is going smoothly." Jiang Wang nodded. "Captain Lin, your demeanor is as impressive as ever."

To be honest, his small talk skills were quite dull. He would say "You look great" to everyone, no matter who they were.

He had no prejudice against Lin Youxie, and even respected these blue-collar detectives who handled extraordinary cases and maintained public order, but on the condition that Lin Youxie didn't keep probing and doubting endlessly.

It's quite interesting. Lin Youxie only has the cultivation level of Tenglong Realm, and should wear a sixth-rank blue badge. However, relying on his rich experience in solving cases and ancestral detective methods, he has solved many cases and earned himself a fifth-rank blue badge.

While Jiang Wang's cultivation base was only at the Inner Palace realm, he wore a fourth-rank blue badge. He relied on his extraordinary strength and the favors of Zheng Shi and Yue Leng's admiration.

Both of them were promoted above their positions, so they should have a lot in common.

But because Lin Youxie had inexplicable suspicions about Jiang Wang, the relationship between the two became very tense for a while.

Perhaps it wasn't without reason. Perhaps... Lin Youxie suspected Zhang Yong. Every time she talked with Jiang Wang, she always managed to bring the topic back to Zhang Yong.

The case of Zhang Mie's extermination is long settled, and Lin Youxie himself personally participated in it. Zhang Yong now works for Jiang Wukui at Changsheng Palace, which is enough to show that there is nothing wrong with him.

Lin Youxie kept his eyes on Zhang Yong. On the one hand, it felt like slapping himself in the face; on the other hand, it was inevitably futile and pointless.

And as for Zhang Yong, Jiang Wang was truly innocent. He had nothing to do with Zhang Yong, they only entered the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm together once, and even forgot about it. Afterward, he heard about the Phoenix Immortal Zhang family extermination case, and at Xuan Sheng's request, visited once, but there was no further contact after that.

Even if Zhang Yong truly had a problem, he couldn't find it on Jiang Wang.

The only problem was that, because of their encounter on Yunwu Mountain, Jiang Wang had begun to suspect Zhang Yong's true identity. However, Jiang Wang chose to keep it a secret at the time and no one else knew about his suspicions.

Perhaps Zhang Yong was merely a facade. Lin Youxie's true purpose was to investigate how the Hell's Gate infiltrated Linzi City before its downfall Or was it to investigate Xu Fang's apology outside Qing Shi Palace, and who ordered him to do so

During his time in the state of Qi, there were indeed two things that absolutely could not be exposed.

Facing Jiang Wang's very perfunctory politeness, Lin Youxie chuckled lightly: "Sir Jiang separates from the majority of the Qingpai squad but independently digs out the whereabouts of King Qin Guang. That's what it means to be dazzling!"

Being around smart people, especially those who are skilled detectives, inevitably brings a sense of unease that your secrets might be uncovered.

"You flatter me." Jiang Wang decided not to ask for trouble, so he politely said, "I still have some things to attend to here, Head Hunter Lin, you..."

Lin Youxie seemed to completely misunderstand the implication: "What's busy, Elder Jiang Does Lin have anything I can help with"

"You're too kind!" Jiang Wang said with a touch of helplessness. "It's just a personal matter, no need to bother."

"Oh." Lin Youxie nodded and said, "Actually, it's not troublesome. We're all colleagues. Speaking of which, I actually want to ask Jiang Da Ren for a favor."

Follow the snake up its stick, this skill is too proficient.

Is it a must-have skill for the blue card

Jiang Wang was thinking about some nonsense and chuckled: "I just returned to Linzi recently, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help. You'll probably be disappointed."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"It's not a big deal."

Lin Youxie smiled and spoke earnestly: "Sir Jiang has been wearing the blue badge for a short time. First, he found the King Qin Guang of Hell's Gate in Qi Realm. After leaving Qi, he also independently found the whereabouts of King Chujiang. It can be seen that Sir Jiang is quite knowledgeable about tracking this line. The subordinate has been obsessed with the art of tracking for many years and has reached a bottleneck, making it difficult to make progress, and it's hard to bear! I wonder if Sir Jiang could spare some time to discuss it with the subordinate"

Jiang Wang looked at her bright eyes, with the illusion that she had already unearthed all his inner secrets.

This is a test.

" Let me know what you need translated!

It was a reckless act to meet Chu Jiang Wang's appearance on Camel Mountain as if it were just a convenient opportunity. It is a mistake that has already been made!

It is also highly possible that Lin Youxie's connection to Hell No Gate could be linked through this.

The only consolation was that he had no dealings with King Chujiang, merely exchanging a few words briefly. It would be impossible for him to be implicated in any way. Moreover, his ability to openly declare King Chujiang's whereabouts, from another perspective, validated his honesty.

However, it's best to keep a distance from people like Lin Youxie.

But with her being so stubborn and distant through politeness, it's unlikely she'll achieve her goal.

At this thought, Jiang Wang coldly shook his head and said arrogantly, "Your rank and cultivation are too low. This official has no time to discuss with you."
