"A fancy pillow?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Junze tentatively replied.

"What, do you think he's dumb?"

Looking at Wang Junze with a smirk, Yin Guangling retorted.

"Anyway, he doesn't seem very smart." He shrugged, and Wang Junze answered again.

"Alright, let's talk about Dugu Feng."

Without pursuing further, Yin Guangling directly changed the topic.

Mentioning the main matter, Wang Junze's expression became more serious. He took out the Godslaying Spear, presented it with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "After entering the Nether Sea, I took the alias Ye Piaoling, disguised as a Demon Cultivator to get close and earned her trust. Only then was I able to ambush and kill this villain during the search for the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion."

Without listening to what Wang Junze said, Yin Guangling casually took the Godslaying Spear and examined it carefully before slowly speaking, "How exactly you killed her, I won't ask. However, you being able to bring back the Godslaying Spear is proof enough that she died by your hand. This task is considered complete. Tell me, what do you want?"

"I want to meet Lord Chief."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Junze answered in a deep voice.

Wang Junze wasn't very interested in the rewards of the Judgment Department. Currently, he wasn't lacking in cultivation resources. As long as he didn't quit the Profound Moon Sword Sect, he couldn't genuinely enter the core of the Judgment Department, so whatever Yin Guangling offered was indifferent to him.

However, to obtain the Divine-Inviting Incense, it was necessary to meet the Director of the Judgment Department.

Moreover, Wang Junze personally wished to meet this famous Lord Chief since, according to Qu Lishang, he was surely one of the top experts in the world, possibly even the legendary pinnacle of Martial Artists' realm, the Divine Domain Realm!

"Oh?"

Yin Guangling seemed a bit surprised by Wang Junze's answer. After pondering for a moment, he replied, "I can report this to Lord Chief, but whether he will meet you is not my decision."

"Thank you, Sir!"

Bowing slightly, Wang Junze softly expressed his gratitude.

"In our Judgment Department, rewards and punishments are clear. This doesn't count as a reward!" Shaking his head, Yin Guangling continued, "Since you didn't specify what you want, I'll decide for you. You can go now. In a few days, this matter will be made public."

"Yes!"

Naturally, Wang Junze wouldn't refuse and immediately agreed.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

Just as Wang Junze was about to leave, Yin Guangling spoke again.

"Sir, what other instructions do you have?"

"Recently, there have been rumors of a Demon Cultivator sneaking into the Capital City. Several murder cases have occurred at night over the past few days. Your position as an Inspector hasn't been relieved yet, so go check it out and see if you can catch this Demon Cultivator," Yin Guangling casually instructed.

"Alright!"

Feeling a bit hesitant, Wang Junze couldn't refuse now that it was raised and had to agree.

However, with so many people in the Judgment Department, why was it necessary for him to investigate a murdering Demon Cultivator?

Wang Junze felt that Yin Guangling had a hidden agenda in his words, but since the latter didn't clarify, Wang Junze would have to probe into it gradually.

After leaving Yin Guangling, someone quickly provided a new Judgment Department Inspector badge for Wang Junze. With this badge, he could prove his identity, whether investigating a case or entering and exiting the Judgment Department.

"Brother!"

Outside, Wang Xin had already been waiting and greeted him with a cheerful expression, asking, "What reward did Lord Yin give you?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. It's said to be announced in a few days. Now, I'm also holding the position of Inspector!"

Nodding, Wang Junze asked, "Right, he told me to investigate a Demon Cultivator case, saying there were murder cases at night recently. Do you know about this?"

"I've heard about it, but... isn't investigating cases not under our Judgment Department?"

Wang Xin responded somewhat puzzled, "The duties of the Judgment Department are to oversee officials and various Sects and Cultivators. Why would Lord Yin give you such a peculiar task?"

"Isn't capturing Demon Cultivators out of the Judgment Department's jurisdiction?"

Wang Junze asked surprisingly.

"Of course, the Capital City has its own Capital Governor with skilled constables under them. Regular cases are naturally handled by them. Only if the Demon Cultivator is extremely powerful and reported to our Department will our experts be sent to kill them."

"Of course, if an Inspector encounters such situations outside, they can handle it, but this is the Capital City!"

There was definitely something strange going on, but Wang Xin didn't know either, so Wang Junze had to investigate himself.

Shaking his head, Wang Junze didn't dwell too much on this matter. He wasn't a real official of the Judgment Department, so if he conveniently encountered something, he could handle it. However, he wasn't interested in spending much energy on such investigations.

"Su... I mean, is the Commandery Princess in the Capital City?"

Looking at Wang Xin, Wang Junze finally couldn't help but ask.

Upon this mention, a complex look flashed across Wang Xin's eyes. After a moment of silence, he answered, "The Commandery Princess is in the Capital City, but... last month, His Majesty officially issued a marriage decree. Now, the Commandery Princess has been staying in the Changling Prince's Mansion for quite some time without appearing."

A marriage decree!

Even though his heart was already somewhat prepared, hearing these words still caused a slight pain in Wang Junze's heart.

If we calculate the time, it had only been a few months since he last saw Su Yuwei. Neither Su Yuwei nor Wang Junze himself would have expected him to come to the Capital City so soon.

Back then, Wang Junze promised to meet in the Capital City.

But now that he was really in the Capital City, he wasn't sure how to face Su Yuwei.

Of course, he wanted to stop this marriage, but... with his current strength, what qualification or reason did he have to stop it?

If he couldn't stop it, even if he met Su Yuwei, what could he say?

Moreover, the Capital City was different from the Northern Domain. Here, every move he made would be watched. Rashly meeting Su Yuwei would only cause more trouble.

"Let's go, accompany me outside for a walk to see this Capital City."

After a moment, Wang Junze composed his emotions and looked at Wang Xin, speaking softly.

"Alright!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xin immediately cheered up, grabbed Wang Junze's arm, and walked outside.

"Wait, let's bring Peng Ru along. She's new to the Capital City and doesn't know anyone. It's not good to leave her alone in the Judgment Department."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Junze spoke again.

"Brother, don't tell me you like her?"

Wang Xin asked curiously upon mentioning this.

"Nonsense, my relationship with her is more complicated. I somewhat owe her..."

Knocking lightly on Wang Xin's head, Wang Junze briefly recounted what happened in the Nether Sea, including Peng Ru signing the Blood Covenant and recognizing him as her master. However, regarding the Li Shang Sword Venerable matters, Wang Junze didn't even mention them to his sister.

"I see, no wonder you said she could be trusted. Now that you say it, I'm actually starting to like her too."
