บท 14: Chapter 14 : Do You Really Want To Use This ?
City Lord Xiao was momentarily stunned. Liu Feng appeared to be without underwear, and neither did the portrait.
"If not, anything he has used before will suffice," Jiang Yi added, noticing City Lord Xiao's subtle expression.
"Wait a moment." City Lord Xiao turned to the guards behind him, obviously searching for an item with Liu Feng's aura.
At that moment, the city lord's wife subconsciously rubbed her hands, as if Liu Feng's presence lingered there.
People in the City Lord's Mansion began to communicate in low voices. After a few minutes, one person quickly left, apparently retrieving something from the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord's wife felt a little bewildered. While her underwear seemed to retain Liu Feng's aura, how could she present it directly now? It would be like revealing a hidden secret.
Yet she was deeply concerned about Liu Feng's safety. He was the guard captain, capable of assuming the city lord's duties to some extent.
While affairs were being handled, Yu Xiaogang found himself the subject of long-standing complaints from his old friends.
"Thanks to you, my dear disciple, I now owe an unknown amount of gold soul coins." Dean Wu's grievances continued. Yu Xiaogang, once a high-ranking official, understood the complexities involved.
He dared not utter a word in response to such complaints, knowing he lacked the funds to remedy the situation.
Meanwhile, Tang San, standing behind Yu Xiaogang, had already focused his attention on Jiang Yi.
The root of the problem lies with this individual. Perhaps eliminating him could resolve the issue.
"Tang San!" Tang San's actions caused his old friend a significant financial loss. When Yu Xiaogang noticed Tang San's gaze, his tone grew colder.
"Teacher..." Recognizing Yu Xiaogang's tone, Tang San understood now was not the time for rash action, and he lowered his head in silence.
"Ensure your opponent is an enemy. If they possess the means to harm you, show no mercy, or it will only invite trouble." Tang San recited this mantra, ingrained in him since childhood.
Having disrupted the divination deliberately, Jiang Yi had been deemed an adversary by Tang San.
In the realm of Jianghu, accepting payment for services and failing to deliver constituted a provocation.
Tang San, having lived a Jianghu in his previous incarnation, naturally harbored such sentiments.
Hence, he resolved to act, even if not immediately. Jiang Yi would meet his end when the opportunity arose.
Looking at Jiang Yi with his purple demon eyes, Tang San marked him as a target.
This deceiver, privy to his deepest secret and untrustworthy, deserved retribution.
Jiang Yi sensed Tang San's murderous intent. His intuition, honed by experience, rivaled that of the Soul King of the Douluo Continent.
Recognizing Tang San's hostility, Jiang Yi knew further dialogue was futile. Their confrontation would be settled through action.
"Found it!" Just as Jiang Yi prepared to confront Tang San, an excited voice echoed from a distance.
Moments later, as Jiang Yi examined the black gauze silk stockings before him, he fell into deep thought.
While the item was suitable for divination, the white stain resembling dried paste puzzled him.
"Do you truly wish to use this?" Jiang Yi glanced at City Master Xiao, a hint of revulsion crossing his face. Any discerning individual would recognize it. Employing such an item left Jiang Yi feeling uncomfortable.
"It's the only item available. Rest assured, once I locate Liu Feng, you shall be duly rewarded," City Lord Xiao assured Jiang Yi. Reluctantly, Jiang Yi acquiesced. Contacting Liu Feng's soul through such means seemed acceptable.
The most effective method for this divination would involve using a mirror.
"Very well..." Jiang Yi reluctantly agreed. However, he suddenly recalled the broken mirror purchased for a copper soul coin, intended for Yu Xiaogang's divination.
"Um, I require a mirror due to someone's disregard for martial ethics," Jiang Yi addressed City Master Xiao embarrassedly.
Observing Jiang Yi's dilemma, City Master Xiao's gaze shifted to Yu Xiaogang behind Dean Wu.
"Go purchase a mirror!" the city lord's wife commanded a nearby guard. Though eager to locate Liu Feng, she felt a twinge of apprehension at the prospect of exposure.
The item she had found in Liu Feng's room, given to him one night, bore the unmistakable scent of their intimacy.
Should this be revealed through divination, complications would arise.
Nevertheless, with events unfolding, there was little she could do to impede them.
A new mirror was swiftly procured.
Jiang Yi instructed a guard to place the uncomfortable stockings on the mirror's surface.
"Reveal the location of its owner!" Jiang Yi recited silently, infusing soul power into the mirror.
The stockings disintegrated into the mirror, revealing a clear street. As the image progressed, it extended into the sewer, where Liu Feng's body lay, partially consumed by rats.
"Found it!" City Lord Xiao exclaimed excitedly. Initially hopeful, he hadn't anticipated the divination's accuracy.
While City Lord Xiao remained elated, the image on the mirror continued to shift, unsettling Jiang Yi.
Undoubtedly, bloodstains lingered imperceptibly in his room. Would they be exposed?
As Jiang Yi pondered, the image stabilized, displaying the current street scene. The divination booth and everyone in the city lord's mansion remained unaltered.
"What does this signify?" City Lord Xiao's confusion mirrored Jiang Yi's own.
Just as Jiang Yi prepared to explain, the image froze, revealing the city lord's wife, still exuding allure.
Coughing violently, the city lord's wife was visibly startled by the sight.
With the screen vanishing, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"The residue of both individuals should remain on the item used. Perhaps the city lord's wife can determine if such stockings have gone missing. Alternatively, the missing person may have retrieved them from a trash bin," Jiang Yi casually explained, observing City Lord Xiao's nostalgic expression.
"Immediately search the sewers for Liu Feng," City Lord Xiao directed a group of guards, realizing the urgency of the situation.
Then he turned to Jiang Yi. "Can you divine the identity of the murderer?"
Though Liu Feng's body remained undiscovered, City Lord Xiao retained faith in Jiang Yi's abilities.
Generating images in the mirror was no ordinary feat.
"You can attempt it, but success is not guaranteed," Jiang Yi replied with a nod, acknowledging the inquiry.
