YM778.TV Chapter 293 - Brother's Work Was In Vain
In other words, this was the biggest rat\'s nest in the Central Region.
And now, cats appeared in the largest rat nest in the Central Region, three big cats.
"Tsk..."
Ye Anping cupped his hands in salute and lightly clicked his tongue.
He had thought before that the fight between Feng Yu Die and Su Waner might attract the ordinary guards of the Jade Pass City.
If those who came were ordinary guards, they would only have to use their status as Black Star Sect disciples to send them on their way.
However, the people who came now were officers of the Justice Division!
Indeed, the Justice Division was the hunting dog of the Central Region Imperial Sect, responsible for patrolling, arresting, and gathering intelligence. It was true that they could also deal with street fights or thieves, but for them to rush over now, was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Moreover, it was very likely that they would miss the key point...
Feng Yu Die looked at the three people above and seemed to sense that something was wrong. She discreetly leaned into Ye Anping\'s ear and said, "Young Master Ye, I think these people are up to no good."
"We\'ll just show our identity tags."
Ye Anping replied and waited for the three people to land before he straightened up and introduced themselves. "Seniors, this girl and the one across the street are my fellow disciples. The three of us were ordered to go to the Imperial Sect, and when we passed through Jade Pass, we ran into this little thief and wanted to capture her alive and send her to the Jade Pass Justice Division."
The leader, a middle-aged man who looked a bit on the older side, carefully checked the jade plaque in Ye Anping\'s hand and confirmed that he was indeed a disciple of the Black Star Sect. His grave expression softened a bit. "So it\'s three young friends from the Black Star Sect. My apologies if I was rude."
He returned the salute, then turned to look at Su Waner who was kneeling on the ground. When he saw her dressed in white and with a fox mask, the infamous \'Immortal Thief\' came to his mind.
However, it was precisely because the brand \'Immortal Thief\' was so famous, that many pickpockets committed their crimes under this name.
Seeing that the cultivation level of Ye Anping and his two sisters was not that high, he found it hard to believe that Su Waner was the real Immortal Thief.
"You three little friends have come all the way from the Black Star Sect. As disciples of the Imperial Sect, we should welcome you with tea. Unfortunately, this Jade Pass is located in a border area with only yellow sand, so please forgive us."
"Senior, don\'t say that. It\'s not a big deal."
"How about I send this little thief to the Justice Division to be imprisoned, so you don\'t have to waste time explaining everything to the captain there?"
Listening to him, Ye Anping felt a little helpless. This officer of the Justice Division was very polite and seemed to just want to help, so he had no excuse to refuse.
He glanced at Su Waner and smiled stiffly. "Thank you very much, Senior."
"You\'re welcome."
With this, the man led the two people behind him to Su Waner\'s side, grabbed her shoulders, and tried to lift her from the ground.
But Su Waner\'s legs and knees were caught in the frozen ground by Pei Lianxue\'s sword, and she quickly shouted, "Ay, ay! Don\'t tug, don\'t tug, my legs are frozen! If you want to take me out, ask that girl to release the ice spell on the ground first."
The leader frowned slightly before looking at Pei Lianxue. "Little cultivator friend, please remove your spell."
Pei Lianxue, standing further away, did not react after hearing this. Instead, she looked toward Ye Anping, as if asking: Do you want to listen to him?
Ye Anping hesitated for a moment and politely reminded, "Senior, this little thief has excellent escaping skills. If my sister removes her spell, she will immediately escape. Do you have an Immortal Binding Lock or something like that, so you can wrap her up a few times first?"
When the Justice Division officer heard this, he showed some displeasure. He thought that Ye Anping was looking down on him, but he did not directly express his feelings and said with a fake smile, "Little cultivator friend, I have been serving in the Justice Division for seventy years, and no thief, big or small, has ever run away from under my nose. So, don\'t worry..."
Somewhat resigned, Ye Anping still insisted. "This person is the little thief who broke into the Sword Gate Sect\'s treasure trove some time ago and stole their stuff. Senior, you should really..."
"Little fellow cultivators, let me put it bluntly. If this person was really the Immortal Thief, how could she be captured by you three little Foundation Building cultivators?"
"..."
Ye Anping pursed his lips. He had already expected such an outcome ever since he saw these three people coming. He stopped struggling and motioned his sister across the street to stop the spiritual skill.
However, he was indeed curious about how Su Waner would escape from these three Justice Division people.
Pei Lianxue put the Snow Jade Spirit Sword into her storage bag, and the thick frost on the ground slowly began to melt, revealing the yellow sand underneath.
Under her mask, Su Waner revealed a wry smile, and before those Justice Division officers could reach out and grab her shoulder, she slightly hooked her right index finger.
Whoosh---
In an instant, the golden robes worn by the three disciples ended in her hands.
"Huh?!"
"Pfft~~ You three poor idiots think you can arrest me? Maybe in the next life!"
Su Waner stuck out her tongue, then her figure turned into a white light in an instant before fleeing from under those people\'s noses. Neither the three Justice Division officers present nor Ye Anping and the girls were able to follow the trajectory of her escape.
Whoosh---
A breeze blew through the streets of Jade Pass City. The three disciples were stunned for a long time before they realized that the Justice Division uniforms they were wearing were missing, and all that was left on them were the storage bags and a crotch cloth.
Feng Yu Die looked at the three people who were relatively fit, covered her smile, and mocked. "Little fellow cultivators, let me put it bluntly. If this person was really the Immortal Thief, how could she be captured by us three little Foundation Building cultivators? Hehe~~"
"Sigh..."
Ye Anping sighed, flicked Feng Yu Die on the head, and signaled her not to mess with these people. Then, he took out the spare clothes he had in the storage bag and gave them to the middle-aged man, saying politely, "Seniors, if you don\'t mind, please make do with these."
"..."
Handing the clothes over to the man, Ye Anping respectfully bowed to the three, then turned around and led Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue toward their inn.
"Sister, Sister Feng, let\'s go back."
"Oh..."
"Okay."
Pei Lianxue and Feng Yu Die followed Ye Anping, but they couldn\'t help but glance back at the three people standing in the middle of the street, wearing only loincloths.
After a while, the three people realized what happened. The man who had just claimed to have spent seventy years in the Justice Division, looked down at the clothes Ye Anping gave him and swallowed hard.
I lost all face in front of these juniors... This is so embarrassing...
He almost felt like committing suicide.
One of the other two was more open and sighed. "Brother Chen, we shouldn\'t have meddled in those people\'s matters today. If the Justice Division learns of this matter, we will be heavily punished. The inner guards of the Justice Division were stripped naked by a thief so easily on the street, in front of three Black Star Sect disciples."
On the other hand, the third person was still confused. "In the end, the girl with the fox mask and white clothes was really the Immortal Thief? But weren\'t those three just in the Foundation Building stage? How did they capture her?"
