"I understand, father."

Xu Mingli promptly sat upright and inquired, "Father, I heard that it was at Lin Yue's residence that young master Xia Lie was discovered last night?"

"Indeed, it was so." The Qingdu Prefectural Governor nodded and said, "I don't know how Lin Yue managed it, but he somehow kept young master Xia Lie hidden and imprisoned for three months."

Sitting to the side, the Eldest Son of the Xu Family spoke, "This matter seems unlikely to have been accomplished by an ordinary person alone, right? Merely dealing with Xia Lie's Martial Cultivator guard is a challenge for Lin Yue, perhaps Daoist Master Tu assisted?"

"Correct, that's what I have been thinking too."

The Qingdu Prefectural Governor softly said, "This is also an opportunity for our Xu Family to eliminate future troubles. Daoist Master Tu poses no threat to Baili Fengzhi, but if he were to be released, he would be a disaster for our Xu family."
