Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Ritual Refining

"Could there be anything strange here?" Chen Mu walked to the side of the street and squatted in front of a bamboo weaver's stall.

He casually picked up a bamboo-woven basket, casting a glance out of the corner of his eye at the approaching government official Lu.

"Boss, what kind of beast is this, to go specifically after the viscera?" A government official, lagging half a step behind Lu the head captor, asked quietly.

"Wild wolf," Lu the head captor replied indifferently.

"But the wounds don't all seem to be from a wolf," the government official wondered.

Lu the head captor glanced at him and said, "We'll talk when we get back."

At those words, the government official shrank his neck and dared not ask any further.

Once the group had left, Chen Mu stood up.

He paid for a bamboo basket and continued on his way as if nothing had happened.

"The smell of blood, the smell of medicine, has Lu the head captor been injured?" Chen Mu wondered.
