My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved

Chapter 23: Brother Su, You Tricked Me!

After making the arrangements, Su Yang came out of the Martial Suppression Division and planned to take a walk around Yonghe City. He would investigate them one by one after he got more information about them.

Because he was not familiar with the terrain, Li Mingyuan followed him.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he found Ye Jiang sitting in Martial Suppression Dvision's main hall, bored out of his mind. He would change his posture from time to time. When he saw him come out, he immediately perked up and stood up.

This seemed to be…Waiting for him? Su Yang's expression was a little strange. What was the meaning of this guy?

"Brother Su, what a coincidence. You haven't left yet."Ye Jiang seemed very surprised.

Su Yang was speechless.

"Yeah, I was just about to leave." Su Yang replied and then left with Li Mingyuan, and Ye Jiang also followed along with his receptionist.

Su Yang ignored this guy. Anyway, he was going to walk around Yonghe City. If the other party wanted to follow him, so be it.

Su Yang walked on the street, strolling around while learning useful information from Li Mingyuan. For example, the biggest force in Yonghe City was called the Big River Gang. The gang leader was a perfected fifth grade. He cultivated an external cultivation technique. Not only was his brute force extremely strong, but his physical defense was also extremely strong.

The disciples of the Big River Gang were mostly external refiners. This reminded Su Yang of the clues mentioned in the information: The robbers were likely martial artists who practiced external techniques.

"Have you investigated the Big River Gang?"

"I've investigated. The other party is not a suspect."

"Why?"

"On the day of the incident, the Big River Gang's leader came to the Martial Suppression Division. With an alibi, there were no other fifth-grade martial artists in the Big River Gang other than their leader."

"There were two fifth-grades among the people escorting the goods, but they were all dead."

"Alright then."

Then, Su Yang strolled around Yonghe City, and Ye Jiang followed him like a stalker. From time to time, they would even chat. Su Yang didn't know what this fellow wanted to do, but his ability to be friendly was not weak.

Soon, almost a day had passed, and the sky gradually darkened.

On the street, Ye Jiang was a little depressed.

"Brother Su, you've been wandering around for a day. Aren't you going to look for clues?"

"There's no hurry. Let's take a look around first." Su Yang smiled.

"Brother Ye, if you're in a hurry, hurry up and look for clues."

"I'm not in a hurry. Since Brother Su wants to shop, I'll accompany you."Ye Jiang said nonchalantly.

Ye Jiang did not care so much and made up his mind to follow Su Yang.

Li Mingyuan, who was standing beside Su Yang, twitched his mouth slightly. He wanted to laugh but did not dare to, afraid that he would delay things. He knew that Su Yang had already made arrangements.

After walking for a while, Ye Jiang suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Brother Su…Are you going back?"

The Martial Suppression Division was just ahead, and Su Yang was also heading toward the Martial Suppression Division.

"Yes, I'm tired after shopping for a day. I plan to go back and rest."Su Yang nodded and replied.

Ye Jiang was a little dumbfounded, but he still followed his principles and followed Su Yang. Since Su Yang had gone back to rest, he should rest too.

Su Yang wondered if the others had found any clues. It seemed that he had not seen any other candidates since he came here.

Just like that, Su Yang returned to the courtyard prepared for him by the Martial Arts Department of Yonghe Town in front of Ye Jiang.

Ye Jiang rubbed his nose. It was not good for him to follow them.

"You stay here and guard him, or get someone to guard him. If he comes out, tell me."

If he couldn't go in, couldn't he guard it?

"Yes." The receptionist who followed Ye Jiang agreed.

Ye Jiang nodded in satisfaction and returned to his courtyard. He was really going back to rest.

...

"Sir, this is the information of the seven people. According to our investigation, there are indeed some problems with two of them." After a day of tracking and surveillance, there were indeed new clues.

"Tell me in detail."

"According to our investigation, Li Hongyun's mother has a black spot disease. If he wants to cure her, he must use a sixth-grade Adversity Clearing Pill. With Li Hongyun's strength as an eighth grade, he won't be able to buy a sixth-grade pill even if he sold all his assets."

"However, according to the investigation of the soldiers, Li Hongyun's mother's symptoms have disappeared today. She is moving around at home but has no intention of going out. In the past, Li Hongyun's mother would never stay idle at home."

"This is one of the suspicious points. Other than this, Li Hongyun doesn't seem to have any other abnormalities."

"The second one is Li Chang. According to the guard's interviews, he is a gambler. Seven days ago, he lost three thousand taels of silver at Yonghe Casino and owed a huge debt that he was unable to repay."

"With Li Chang's strength in the eighth grade, it's impossible for him to gather three thousand silver taels in a short time."

"But yesterday, when the debt collectors from Yonghe Casino came to visit, Li Chang took out the money."

"Sir, this is the information we have gathered so far."

Li Mingyuan reported one by one. At the same time, he admired Su Yang's sharp eyes for locking the target so quickly.

"Yes... Let's not delay any longer. I'll go out now. Have Wu Zu continue to keep an eye on the other five people. Even if we didn't find them today, it doesn't mean that they're safe." Su Yang ordered.

"Yes."

Su Yang naturally sensed the guy guarding outside. He didn't want to have a follower following him. He might as well not go out through the main entrance.

However... Su Yang looked at the courtyard. He really couldn't climb over the three-meter-tall wall. After all, his physical fitness was too weak. He could only find a chair to use as leverage to flip over.

Li Mingyuan was a little dumbfounded when he saw Su Yang's actions. Why did this lord do this?

...

Conversely, Su Yang was secretly preparing to leave the Martial Suppression Division. Just as he reached the door, a voice reached his ears.

"Brother Su, that's not right. Aren't you resting?" Ye Jiang walked out from the side, his tone somewhat resentful.

Su Yang was speechless.

"Brother Ye, what do you mean? We're competitors now." Su Yang felt a headache. Why did this guy stick to him?

"Hehe…Brother Su, I've discovered your secret."Ye Jiang chuckled.

Secret? What secret did he have? Why didn't he know about it?

"If I'm not wrong, Brother Su, your movements over the wall just now were not agile enough. Although I don't know what cultivation path you're walking on, Brother Su, you're definitely not walking on martial arts. You're not agile, so even if you find the criminal, you might not be able to catch him."

"It's inconvenient if you don't have good skills during the investigation..."

Ye Jiang said with a smile, "Let me recommend myself. I, Ye Jiang, have the best movement technique among the younger generation in Tianfeng County."

"One of us is responsible for attacking, and the other is responsible for pursuing. Only by joining forces like this can we play a greater role."

"If we join forces, I'll suffer a loss and take half of the credit. How about it?"

Ye Jiang looked at Su Yang confidently.

"Don't go, I'll give you 40% and you get 60%."

"Brother Su, let's discuss. I'll take 30%, you take 70%..."

"Alright."

"Hmm?"

"Brother Su, the corners of your mouth are curled up so high. You tricked me…"

"You can't slander me with empty words. Did I say anything?"

Ye Jiang was speechless.
