260th Break: Resurfaced

Imperial capital.

"What did the boss say?" Qiu Liu asked Qiu Shiba after he saw him close the letter.

Their boss has gone for some time and they already missed him. But, since their boss trusted the matters in the imperial capital to their hands, then they can't leave here and conscientiously do their jobs in order to make their boss feel reassured and not worry about them.

"Something came up in Anhe, precisely in the Hundred Treasures Caves." Qiu Shiba answered. "Boss guessed that it might be the Hangmen's doing… the corpses that they found were 'touched' in a similar way." He looked at Qiu Liu who was stunned.

"The elixir…!" Qiu Liu exclaimed in realization.

Qiu Shiba nodded in affirmation before he took a deep breath. "Meanwhile, something happened to a relative of the Ji family in Fenghui." He continued. "Boss sent Shiwu and Shisi there… and boss, Qiu Si, Qiu Yi, and the others will head there after they wrapped things up in Anhe." He said.
