The Tunnels

Hui Yue spent the following days examining the City Lord’s mansion thoroughly, yet no matter how much he looked around, nothing unusual seemed to appear in front of him.

Being treated like a guest of the elders allowed access to everything for Hui Yue, but although he looked in every nook and cranny, he saw nothing relating to Sun.

There was no place too secret for Hui Yue to enter. After a few days, the entire City Lord’s mansion had been searched from the highest pagoda to the lowest cellar.

While Hui Yue was searching the mansion, Deng Wu was making friends with the female population of the town. Although Hui Yue had a good standing within the city, Deng Wu was nothing but a mere retainer, a servant to the white-haired boy. Although Lord Liu Wei and his elders felt that Deng Wu was strong, he was nothing compared to his master and thus spending time befriending him was a waste.
