'How could he flatter Master like that?'

Little Yuan'er could not help laughing, but when she saw her master's solemn look, she quickly lowered her voice. Then, fearing that he would scold her, she turned around and covered her mouth.

Murong Hai looked embarrassed and confused. He could not understand what was so funny about such a serious topic.

"You can just ignore her and continue," Lu Zhou said calmly.

Murong Hai did not know how to keep his sobbing voice after he was interrupted by Little Yuan'er, so he said in his normal voice, "This Lakeside Gang is indeed a nonexistent gang. Two days before they kidnapped the Ci Family, they were surveying in Anyang with about thirty people."

"How did you know that?"

Since they faked a gang, that meant they did not want others to know them, so how did the Murong Family know what they did?

That gave Murong Hai a pause, and an embarrassed look crept up his face.

"Tell me."

"Actually, some of them are from my family."

"You are so shameless!" Little Yuan'er said angrily.

Lu Zhou lifted a hand and said, "Good. You have answered well."

"Please have mercy, Old Mister! I promise you that I will no longer be against the Ci Family from now on," said Murong Hai while bowing.

Lu Zhou slowly turned his back on him. "Last question...Can you track down the hostages?"

Murong Hai's expression changed when he heard that. 'He really wants to provoke this group of people!'

1"This...This..."

"Well?"

"Yes, I can!" Murong Hai bowed his head and answered honestly.

A cultivation seal was a crude tracking method, which greater cultivators would not use. Since the Lakeside Gang was backed by some so-called formidable cultivators, they would not be so ignorant as to neglect such a little trick. In other words, the information was leaked on purpose.

When the mounted brigands kidnapped the Ci Family, all they wanted was money. But what did the Lakeside Gang want?

"We should go back now," said Lu Zhou.

"Let me help you, Grandpa!" Little Yuan'er hopped next to him.

After taking two steps, Lu Zhou stopped and pointed at Murong Hai, "Bring him with us, and don't forget about the imperial token."

Murong Hai was struck dumb. He wanted to kneel and beg for mercy, but Lu Zhou turned away from him, shattering his hope. Weak as he was, he did not dare to fight back, so he just followed timidly, walking dejectedly beside Wang Fugui.

"Grandpa, I found the imperial token."

"Put it away."

"This is a beautiful dragon carving," Little Yuan'er turned the token over and over in her hand.

Lu Zhou smiled. "It is a unique dragon carving of the imperial token, the only symbol that distinguishes a real one from a fake one. Put it away now, lest it attracts unwanted attention."

Plop!

Murong Hai collapsed to the ground, his legs weak, his forehead covered with sweat, and his hands shaking. Little Yuan'er looked back over her shoulder and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
