" Is that so?" Li Qing smiled. " Then Brother Jia must be a fortune of the heaven, sent to aid the Cai Family."

    " I am Cai Family''s live in son in law." Jia Hao grinned. " It''s obvious that I will support them."

    " But I doubt the Shen Family, Niu Family, and Silkward Chambers would sit and do nothing."

    " What are they going to do?" Jia Hao asked in an amused voice. " Come to Magistrate Cai and lodge a complaint? Or go to City Lord Suo to whine?"

    " Who are they going to complain? What''s the cause of the fire? Who is the suspect?"

    " Even if His Majesty sends the Scaled Dragon Guards of Divine Martial Guards, I am not really concerned."

    Zhou Yan''s lips twitched as he wanted to say something. But he stopped and stood silently behind Li Qing.

    " How interesting, Brother Jia. I actually wonder something. Where are you from?"

    " Pardon me?"

    " I mean, A person like you, he must be pretty famous around here. But, You have no past records." Li Qing smiled.

    " What if I say I crossed nine mountains and seven seas, crossed the river of stars and the tower of heaven?" Jia Hao spoke with an amused tone.

    " Haha, Even while lying, Brother Jia lies with elegance." Li Qing laughed lightly.

    " Well then, Should I not ask your origin, Brother Qing? I am sure you are no ordinary young master either." Jia Hao smirked, throwing Li Qing''s question at him.

    Li Qing was taken aback, seeing a cunning light in Jia Hao''s light.

    '' Does he know? I thought my disguise was perfect?'' Li Qing muttered in his heart. But like Jia Hao, he didn''t disclose his identity.

    " You can say I am someone close to the Imperial Family." Li Qing gave a vague reply.

    " Then, Do you know anything about Third Prince Li Yuan?" Jia Hao smiled.

    "Little Yuan? What''s about him?"

    " However, there is a thing I wish to know." Jia Hao looked at Li Qing. " Is the Twisted Dark Forest as safe as everyone treating it?"

    " This...This is true though?" Li Qing tilted his head. " I mean, there are terrifying monsters there. But they never come out from the core zone. So, It''s safe."

    " Most of the time, Yes." Zhou Yan finally spoke. " However, a monster tide comes in once every 10-15 years. It creates a lot of havoc,"

    " But I don''t think any monster tide would come before the next two or three years."

    '' Heh, Really? One is coming in less than a month.'' Jia Hao snorted. But he got an idea of how the mastermind managed to pull the entire plan around it.

    '' But, It''s fascinating how they managed to guess the timing of this abnormal monster tide.''

    '' Amusing, I have to pay attention to this.'' Jia Hao tapped on the table.

    " What happened, Brother Jia? You seem to be in deep thought."

    " Of course, I am indeed." Jia Hao chuckled. " As Mr. Zhou said, I can''t naturally rebel against the Imperial Family. But that doesn''t mean I can''t raise my sword against the enemies of Cai Family."

    " Hehe, Niu Family is the first. My next target is obviously Silkward Chambers."

    " Silkward Chamber is one of the biggest merchant units of the entire Nanhai City. And their influence is not smaller than a large-scale noble family at all." Li Qing was surprised.

    " Well, Not entirely against Silkward Chamber, but certainly against the Lian Family." Jia Hao smiled.

    " There is a particular woman whom I need to show something."

    Both Li Qing and Zhou Yan felt a chill when they saw Jia Hao''s amicable smile.

    No matter how harmless and scholarly he looked, Both Li Qing and Zhou Yan felt Jia Hao was like a smiling tiger, full of deceit and malicious intent.

    " Anyway, I recently heard about something." Jia Hao smiled as he used his Sage''s Divination Eyes.

    " It''s about a Bright Snow Lotus..."

    Li Qing and Zhou Yan''s expressions changed when Jia Hao mentioned that.
