"Disappeared?"
Mr. Li didn't stop walking as he asked aloud.
"Yes, I was leading a group of cultivators from the Zhao family to patrol outside the city. You also know about those incidents involving evil cultivators who had completely assimilated the Transformation Fruit inside them, making it impossible to use for tracking."
So I changed my approach and got in touch with Officer Lin, the newly appointed official.
He provided me with the case files from the various township yamen under Gusu City.
To see where there might be miscarriages of justice or age-old enmities, I sent cultivators to check ahead of time.
We at Qingmu Academy have been battling the Demon Sect for so many years, and we know all too well their choice of targets when planting the Transformation Fruit; they love picking these types of people because they are so easily beguiled."
"So who has disappeared?"
Xia Yunzhao, seeing the other party about to stray off topic, couldn't help but interrupt.
