No matter if he can help or not, Xu Qi'an first needs to draw a big picture to extract some information. If Number Six is a bad person, Xu Qi'an will throw him out to reduce the wolves in the Tian Di Hui.

Of course, before that, he needs to first deceive Number Six's hiding place to ensure that there will be no future troubles because Number Six is very powerful.

Night raiding the Pingyuan Count's mansion, killing the Pingyuan Count, severely injuring the Nightwatcher, calmly hiding. This is definitely a high-level expert, even stronger.

If there is a reason, he will do what he can to help and shape the great image of Chen Jinnan, the leader of the Tian Di Hui.

Wei Yuan asked him to go undercover, but not to stay undercover forever. He needs to make some achievements.

Can Number Three provide help?

Can he calmly take Number Six away during the search by the Nightwatcher and the Imperial Guards?

What is his identity? Is he just a Confucian disciple?

At this time, without a reasonable identity, even walking in the inner city will lead to immediate arrest.

Or, can he command the Imperial Guards or the Nightwatcher?

Xu Qi'an's words made the holders of the Earth Book Fragments speculate about his true identity and his next actions.

[Nine: Hehe, if Number Three is willing to help, then there is no problem. Number Six, don't hide.]

Taoist Master Jin Lian is confident that Number Three can help Number Six resolve the crisis... Number Three is not an ordinary Confucian disciple, he must have a more secretive and higher-level identity... The new recruit that Taoist Master Jin Lian has recruited this time is extraordinary.

The members of the Tian Di Hui were inspired and remained silent, observing the development of the situation.

[Number Six: One of my junior brothers disappeared for a year. I suspect he was abducted and secretly sent out of the capital through a secret channel.

[After many investigations and searches, I locked onto a tooth organization. They abduct and kidnap women and children and sell them to brothels, beggars, and other places that need women and children.

[They not only traffick children and women, but also abduct cultivators. I haven't figured out their true purpose yet.

[Finally, I found out that the mastermind behind the tooth organization is the Pingyuan Count.]

[Number Three: So you killed someone out of anger?]

[Number Six: I sneaked into the Pingyuan Count's mansion, asked about my junior brother's whereabouts, and when I got no answer, I killed him to relieve his sins.]

[Number One: Why didn't you report to the officials if you violated the law?]

Number One disagrees with Number Six's way of doing things.

[Number Two: Nonsense. If the law was useful, the Pingyuan Count would have been punished long ago. The gods are not just, only the sword is just.]

...This is an angry person! Actually, he could report the Pingyuan Count. Killing is not wise. Xu Qi'an thought to himself.

However, it can be inferred from this that Number Six is straightforward, even impulsive, and likes to use reason (physics) to convince people. This is quite similar to Confucianism.

Number One seems to disdain arguing with Number Two and does not respond.

[Number Six: I have a reason. In one year, I saved many children. Some had their hands and feet cut off and begged on the roadside. The smart ones were trained as thieves. And the most outrageous thing is...]"I once saved a child who had his hands and feet chopped off, his skin boiled in hot water, and then wrapped in black dog skin. After he recovered from his injuries, the dog skin grew on his body... "

"Yazi disguised him as a black dog, taught him some auspicious words, and pleased the unsuspecting people to ask for money."

"One: This is true!"

"Six: Of course."

Number One remained silent for a long time.

"Three: You have convinced me. Although I dislike martial artists who use force to break the law and don't use their brains, I am still willing to help you."

"Two: Hmm, I agree with Number Three now."

"Four: You are a straightforward person. Let's drink together when we have time."

"Six: Thank you."

They didn't call Number Three by his name, probably because they all knew that Chen Jinnan was not Number Three's real name.

"Three: Where are you hiding?"

"Six: In the water channel outside Pingyuanbo's mansion."

The water channel was a dirty and smelly place, and there were no sewage workers in this era. Ordinary people wouldn't go in, so it was a blind spot for investigation.

But it was only temporary. When the Nightwatcher summoned people, they would not let this place go.

"Three: I understand. Wait for my message."

Xu Qi'an put away the jade mirror, held a knife in one hand, and touched his chin with the other, thinking about how to handle this matter.

He couldn't take people out of the inner city because there were royal guards and Nightwatcher colleagues along the way.

The only thing Xu Qi'an could do was to turn a blind eye in his patrol area. And he had to do it quickly, otherwise, when the royal guards and Nightwatcher sealed off the area and searched layer by layer, he wouldn't be able to save Number Six.

"Time is running out, I need a foolproof plan..."

To save Number Six, Xu Qi'an had to deceive both the Nightwatcher and the sorcerers of the Sitian Observatory. So Xu Qi'an had to do two things: first, help Number Six find a hiding place. Second, help him conceal his breath.

The former was not difficult. As long as he could handle tonight, Number Six could disguise himself as an ordinary person and leave the city on his own tomorrow morning.

With Pingyuanbo's status, the city gate would not be closed all the time. It would definitely be opened at dawn.

The difficulty was how to conceal Number Six's breath.

"After killing someone, it is inevitable to be stained with murderous aura, which cannot be hidden from the sorcerers' divination of the Sitian Observatory. Should I go to PY with Song Qing again?"

"No, I haven't paid for the last PY deal yet. I haven't even sent the periodic table of elements to the Sitian Observatory. Besides, Song Qing and I are both men of iron and steel. It's difficult to ask him for help in this matter. Unless I can sleep with Chu Caiwei and win her over..."

How to conceal Number Six's breath?

Xu Qi'an had a way to try, and this was also the confidence he had to show off in the "Book of Earth Chat Group".

He took out a book and flipped through the pages, finding a page that read: "One leaf blinds the eye!"

In the afternoon, Xu Qi'an had already memorized all the spells recorded in the book, and he knew them well.One Leaf Blinds the Eye, which allows the caster to hide their form and aura, achieving the effect of "erasing" their existence.

Its essence lies in the Confucian Five Virtues realm of speech and action, distorting the corresponding rules. Then, through the "learning" ability of a sixth-grade Confucian scholar, the rule is recorded on paper.

Xu Qi'an looked around and locked onto a inn across the street, jumped to the roof with a light step, and listened to the heartbeat and breathing to find an empty room.

He hung on the wall like a gecko, and slowly pried open the window latch with his dagger.

After doing all this, he rushed to Pingyuanbo Mansion not far from him, stood on the roof across the street and looked around, and found the water channel.

Xu Qi'an took out the arrow from the cowhide bag at his waist, tied the torn paper to the arrow, and threw it out with force.

"Thud!"

The arrow nailed the soil wall next to the water channel.

He crouched on the roof, took out a jade mirror, and transmitted the message:

[Three: Number Six, there is an arrow on the soil wall next to the water channel where you are hiding. There is something you need on it. I have prepared a room for you at the Qingshu Inn on the neighboring street. The sixth window on the second floor is open. Hurry up!]

He didn't look at the mirror, but stared at the water channel. After more than ten seconds, a big bald head with a square face and thick eyebrows crawled out from there, with a look of bitterness and deep hatred.

The big bald head looked around vigilantly, and then his gaze fell on the arrow nailed to the wall.

He pulled out the arrow, unfolded the paper on it and glanced at it.

One Leaf Blinds the Eye?

The big bald head seemed to understand something, and his face showed a relieved and relaxed expression.

Number Three is indeed a Confucian scholar.

He immediately ignited the paper with his qi, and a mysterious power enveloped him, concealing his aura.

... This ability to conceal his aura!

The big bald head's pupils shrank slightly, revealing a look of shock.

This was not something that an ordinary fifth-grade Confucian scholar could do. At least it was a fourth-grade gentleman realm.

Number Three's identity was not wrong. Not only was he a disciple of Confucianism, but he was also a student valued by a great Confucian.

Taoist Master Jin Lian said that every holder of a fragment of the Earth Book was a proud son of heaven, and I am not deceived.

He didn't leave immediately, but changed into a clean monk's robe slowly and steadily from the jade mirror, throwing away his smelly shoes and clothes into the jade mirror.

He had to leave quickly. If he delayed any longer, the skilled Nightwatchers would gather and it would be dangerous. The big bald head didn't dare to fly over the roofs, so he ran on the street.

At this moment, he saw a young man standing on the roof of the neighboring street, wearing the uniform of a Nightwatcher, holding a sword in one hand, facing the night wind, looking ahead with a lonely and desolate expression.

His figure was towering and majestic.

He was like a firefly in the dark night, bright and eye-catching.

This bronze gong had a deep and restrained aura, and was exceptionally handsome... The Nightwatchers were indeed full of talents... The big bald head secretly admired him as he glanced at him a few times.

Following Number Three's words, he found the Qingshu Inn, and the sixth window was indeed open.

The big bald head leaped lightly and silently into the room, and in a moment, the window was closed.

"Phew..." Xu Qi'an relaxed his shoulders and stopped posing.Although he knew that Number Six was a Buddhist disciple and unlikely to be a woman, Xu Qi'an still felt a little disappointed.

"Number Nine is that old silver coin from Jinlian, Number Six is Lu Zhishen with deep grudges. The other netizens must have some beautiful girls, right?" Xu Qi'an was about to take out a mirror to check the chat records when he heard hurried footsteps.

In his line of sight, dozens of figures were jumping up and down on the roofs and rushing towards him.

"Only after passing this level can Number Six be considered safe!" Xu Qi'an squinted his eyes and thought.

The murder of Ping Yuanbo alarmed Nightwatcher on duty tonight, six silver gongs, and dozens of copper gongs.

Almost all the Nightwatchers on duty were mobilized, along with a few white-clad members of the Bureau of Astrology.

The Imperial Guard cooperated with the Nightwatchers to seal off the area within a few miles around Ping Yuanbo's mansion and conducted a carpet-style search with the white-clad members of the Bureau of Astrology.

The leader of the Nightwatchers was Jiang Lvzhong, in his forties with black hair and fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, flashing with a sharp and cold gaze.

This pair of eyes was famous in the Nightwatcher's office. Except for those at the same level as him, no one could look him in the eye for more than three seconds.

He led the team to constantly jump up and down on the roofs, scanning the dark urban areas with his sharp gaze.

The white-clad members of the Bureau of Astrology were carried on the backs of the copper gongs, their eyes flashing with clear light as they scanned the streets below inch by inch.

Jiang Lvzhong said in a deep voice, "After the murderer killed someone, their breath must have been stained with blood. Have any of you noticed anything unusual?"

The several astrologers were only eighth-grade diviners with mediocre combat power and could not fly over walls. They needed to be carried by the copper gongs, but this did not prevent them from showing their superiority in front of the martial artists.

"No!" The white-clad members of the Bureau of Astrology replied indifferently.

Jiang Lvzhong's expression paused for a moment, then he held back.

After walking for a while, one of the white-clad members of the Bureau of Astrology saw Xu Qi'an standing proudly on the roof and was stunned, then ecstatically shouted, "Come down, come down quickly."
