A Shadow in the Mortal World

Chen Pingping let out a sharp laugh. He rubbed his rough fingers together and asked, "Is Sir Wu in the capital now?" This was the question Fei Jie had asked on the day of Fan Xian’s wedding. Fan Xian shook his head and answered as he had last time: "I hear he went south to look for Ye Liuyun. I don’t know when he will return."

Somehow, Fan Xian felt like he could hear a person sighing somewhere in this room. He frowned and put his finger on the trigger of his crossbow—what the three of them were discussing now was too terrifying to be leaked. If someone were to eavesdrop, the result would be difficult to bear for both Fan Xian and Chen Pingping.

"You may come out." Noticing the movement in Fan Xian’s sleeve. Chen Pingping explained, "I believe you must be intrigued as to who leads the Sixth Bureau."
