[Creak…]

The door to the storeroom housing various secret documents was pushed open.

A somewhat grating noise immediately rang out.

Before Luo Yao and Luo Ze, the two men, could step deep into the storeroom,

clouds of dust came at them face-on.

...

Such a situation caused Luo Yao to squint his eyes slightly.

“Looks like this place hasn’t been visited for quite some time…”

Luo Yao murmured softly.

Behind him was the expressionless Luo Ze, holding a Spiritual Sword.

At this time, the youngster was surveying the surroundings of the storeroom.

“Almost all important documents are inside here.”

“If there’s no other need…”

“I will take my leave first.”

Seeing Luo Yao enter this storeroom filled with countless secret documents, the young Government Official in a black and red robe slightly lowered his head and then conveyed his intent to leave.

“Alright, you may leave…”

Luo Yao did not look toward the Government Official at the doorway.

He simply waved his hand and spoke softly to the young official.

Afterward, he silently walked to an armchair inside the room.

Sitting down silently, and after taking a short rest,

he stretched out his hand and casually picked up a document from the desk that contained many secret pieces of information.

He opened it and slowly began to leaf through it.

Investigating various tax issues might sound simple in theory, but if one were to truly go about it…

it wouldn’t be something that could be done in just two or three days.

Therefore, within Qiuyue City’s highest governmental institution,

he estimated he would need at least another three to five days, and, in a worst-case scenario, even ten days to half a month was not improbable.

…

As time passed,

about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea later,

Luo Yao finished reading the document he held.

Recorded in the document were various issues concerning taxes.

At a glance, the numbers looked lavish and dazzling.

But the taxes submitted…

appeared immensely pitiful.

“It appears the issues with Qiuyue City’s Lu Family are substantial…”

While murmuring softly, Luo Yao silently lifted his head and looked at the massive pile of confidential documents in the storeroom, seemingly endless in quantity.

A bitter smile couldn’t help but emerge on his calm face.

There were truly a damn lot of documents.

Previously, he had thought that this trip would be an easy assignment.

Like the issue with the taxes, the difficulty in solving it seemed manageable.

However, what he had not expected was…

that the Lu Family within Qiuyue City would be so audacious.

As if they treated the Qingshi City Luo Family as if it did not exist.

Yes, taxes.

To the current Qingshi City Luo Family, it could almost be said to be insignificant.

What I give you, you may take.

What I don’t give you, even if it’s of almost no use to me,

if you still reach out for it when I haven’t offered it,

then, that arm of yours doesn’t need to exist anymore.

…

In the blink of an eye, a few more minutes passed.

In the room, Luo Yao sat leisurely in an armchair.

Half-lying, he silently flipped through the documents in his hand.

Just as he was getting absorbed and silently calculating some matters in his mind,

an elderly man dressed in a black robe, slightly hunched,

but exuding an aura that would make even practitioners of the Organ Refinement Realm shudder slightly,

suddenly appeared beside Luo Yao.

The elder bent his waist a little, lowered his head, and spoke with some respect to Luo Yao: “Young Family Head, someone is here…”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao couldn’t help but narrow his eyes,

silently gazing in a certain direction.

“Is it from the Lu Family of Qiuyue City?”

After remaining silent for a moment, Luo Yao asked softly.

Zhen, one of the Shadow Guard Three Great Commanders, nodded silently.

Luo Yao considered for a while and then inquired further, “Is it the current Family Head of the Qiuyue City Lu Family?”

Zhen shook his head, speaking softly, “No…”

“However, I detected a faint scent of blood on him.”

“He appears to be someone like me.”

With that,

the situation instantly became clear.

Since Zhen, one of the Shadow Guard Three Great Commanders, said so,

it was likely that the person approaching was akin to a Shadow Guard, secretly nurtured by the Qiuyue City Lu Family.

Interesting, now it truly became more interesting.

Luo Yao had initially thought that his arrival would prompt the Qiuyue City Lu Family to erase any trace of embezzlement as much as possible.

Or to be straightforward,

hand over everything they embezzled to preserve their family’s continuity.

However, what Luo Yao didn’t expect at all was…

that the Qiuyue City Lu Family would make such a shocking decision amongst many alternatives.

“So…”

“The Qiuyue City Lu Family doesn’t know my identity, do they?”

A hint of amusement was evident on Luo Yao’s face.

As he spoke softly in this manner,

after all, if the Qiuyue City Lu Family knew his identity,

knew that he was the heir apparent to the Qingshi City Luo Family,

then, even if given a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand chances,

they wouldn’t dare…
