258th Break: Mark

"You said that there were traces of fighting nearby the cave, so Qiu Si and his group must have found and then fought with the culprit?" Meng Xing said after he heard what his subordinate said. 

"Yes, boss." The Huichen member nodded in affirmation. "We didn't tell you earlier since there was an outsider earlier." He said. He is referring to Qin Shuyi. "In case the culprit was from their kingdom…" he looked at Meng Xing. 

Meng Xing nodded in understanding. "Got it." He muttered. "But the culprit is the Hangmen. Though, we can't eliminate that the one from the Hangmen that came in from the Wei Kingdom…" he muttered. "What's wrong?" he asked when he saw the other's hesitating expression as if he wanted to say something. 

"That, boss…" his subordinate muttered. "Yi-ge seems to be close with lord Qin lately…" he said and carefully looked at their boss's expression in case the other would be angry.
