And in Qingzhou, although not as strict as the Capital, the crime was still considered very serious if the Liushan Division really decided to investigate.
"I think, I understand," Jiang Shouzhong let out a sigh.

As they left the medical clinic, Jiang Shouzhong said to Li Nanshuang, "Right now, it seems that Mr. Xu must have ingested Demon Energy."
Li Nanshuang asked tentatively, "Then should we..."
Jiang Shouzhong said, "There are two possibilities. First, Mr. Xu made a deal with someone involving Demon Energy on the condition of loaning out his sword. But with Mr. Xu's connections, getting a bottle of Demon Energy would be quite easy for him.
Secondly, someone from the Liushan Division discovered Mr. Xu's use of Demon Energy and threatened him with it, forcing Mr. Xu to loan out his treasured sword. After all, the crimes of ingesting and secretly hoarding Demon Energy are very serious."
