"What the young master said is correct, it was my mistake."

Upon hearing Wang Junze's words, Ni Gang was momentarily stunned, but then felt an immediate sense of clarity.

The matter with Prince Yu had really shocked him, and for a moment, he forgot his original intention; this matter should not be decided so quickly to begin with.

Wang Junze dared to speak because the other party originally had a grudge against Prince Yu, so even if he turned around and leaked this matter to Prince Yu, the other party wouldn't care in the slightest.

However, he need not think too much about it.

He should first take care of the initial matter and earn some Spirit Stones from Wang Junze; that was the most practical thing.

Moreover, this was actually a test in itself.

Wang Junze wanted to use this matter to see the capabilities of the Cyan Robe Gang. If they couldn't even handle such a small issue, there was no need to mention Prince Yu's matter.

Similarly, he could take this opportunity to see if Wang Junze's strength was indeed worth placing his bet on him.

After thinking it over, Ni Gang seriously spoke up: "One hundred thousand Spirit Stones, you can give me a deposit of ten thousand now, and the rest after it's done."

"Of course, whether it's done or not, the deposit is non-refundable!"

It seems like asking for a hundred thousand Spirit Stones just to find someone is indeed like asking for the moon, but actually, it's not expensive at all.

Even the Judgment Department couldn't find the person, which is enough to prove how tricky this matter is. Even with spies all over the Capital City, the Cyan Robe Gang would still have to spend a lot of manpower to investigate. And since the other party is a Demon Cultivator, there's a high chance the investigation might get discovered, potentially costing lives.

Besides, apart from the Cyan Robe Gang, no one else would dare to take on this matter.

"No need to make it so troublesome!"

Shaking his head, Wang Junze directly pointed out the ten thousand Spirit Stones from his ring and said calmly: "Trust is given when hiring; since I've mentioned this, I will give you my absolute trust!"

"Whether it's successful or not, this hundred thousand Spirit Stones are yours!"

"Generous!"

Slightly stunned, Ni Gang then picked up the wine jug in front of him and drank it down in one go.

Even though it was just a first meeting, Wang Junze's straightforwardness alone made Ni Gang have a better impression of him.

Penny-pinching is for businessmen, not people of the martial world, and certainly not enough to take down Prince Yu.

"I will be at the Judgment Department most of the time, but I come out for a round every day. I trust Master Ni's abilities in finding me won't be hard."

"Rest assured, even if you're in the Judgment Department, I can find a way to get a message to you!"

Ni Gang replied with a confident smile.

After briefly pondering, Wang Junze figured it out. For others, the Judgment Department was naturally heavily guarded, and no one could enter easily. The Cyan Robe Gang couldn't possibly bribe the officials of the Judgment Department either. But then again, doesn't the Judgment Department need someone to clean and tidy up? Doesn't it need someone to buy groceries and cook?

As long as people are needed, the Cyan Robe Gang will always find a way to get people in.

Those who are looked down upon by the world—those belonging to lowly trades—are indeed indispensable no matter where one goes in this world.

"Haha, drink! By the way, get some girls over, I've heard Yanzi Building is overflowing with beauties!"

Wang Junze laughed heartily.

...

Changling Prince's Mansion.

"Miss, Wang Junze has entered the Capital City."

Standing in the corridor of the back courtyard, Lu Qing softly reported.

The night was chilly and damp.

Su Yuwei, draped in a white mink coat, stood in the courtyard, gazing lightly at the bright moon in the sky, without responding.

After waiting for a moment, Lu Qing continued, "Miss, shall I go see him?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuwei slowly withdrew her gaze, and calmly responded, "Who you want to see has nothing to do with me. Lu Qing, I've left the Judgment Department, and you're no longer part of the Prince's Mansion."

"..."

With a bitter smile, Lu Qing couldn't help but touch his nose.

Though Su Yuwei's words were blunt, he understood their meaning.

"Miss, I'll come back tomorrow."

Su Yuwei didn't reply. It was only after Lu Qing's figure disappeared that she lightly sighed.

The news of Wang Junze entering the Capital City did not require Lu Qing to tell her; yet what could it matter even if he did come?

Even if Wang Junze came, she wouldn't meet him.

Still, she wanted to hear some news about Wang Junze, so she didn't stop Lu Qing from seeing him.

Just hope he knows when to retreat.

....

Wang Junze didn't remember how much he drank, but still, he didn't stay overnight at Yanzi Building.

He did not mind going to a place like Yanzi Building nor being surrounded by beauties and enjoying their company, but he would never take it further with any of these women.

Even if no one actually cared.

But just as he was leaving Yanzi Building, he saw an unexpected figure.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing here?"

Lu Qing, still in his cyan robe, looked at Wang Junze and chuckled, "What, you came to the Capital and didn't come to see me, am I not allowed to come see you?"

"… How did you know I was here?"

Seeing Lu Qing, Wang Junze asked somewhat awkwardly.

"I went to the Judgment Department, Xin'er told me." Lu Qing shrugged and replied softly, "Come on, walk with me for a bit!"

"Alright!"

Showing a trace of joy, Wang Junze relaxed a bit and laughed, "It's been a while; Brother Lu's cultivation has improved a lot!"

In the Northern Domain, Lu Qing was just at the Refining Spirit stage. But now, he also has reached Heaven-Stepping, and is at the Heaven-Stepping Peak, with any time ready to break through and become a Void-Breaking Powerhouse.

"Get lost!"

Mentioning this, Lu Qing's expression immediately darkened.

All along, he had considered himself a genius, but compared with Wang Junze, the gap was just too big.

"Haha, don't compare with me, even the Commandery Princess acknowledged me as a Sword Path Genius!"

Wang Junze was originally smiling, but the mention of Su Yuwei made him freeze briefly, before asking quietly after a pause, "How is the Commandery Princess doing?"

"I thought you could refrain from asking!"

With a sneer, Lu Qing glanced at Wang Junze, "We've barely spoken!"

"..."

"Miss is doing well; Your Majesty granted her marriage, gave her a Creation Golden Lotus, and her cultivation has even broken through to Divine Travel, with hope of Entering the Path."

Without mocking Wang Junze further, Lu Qing still quietly replied.

Creation Golden Lotus!

Hearing these four words, Wang Junze's heart skipped a beat. He remembered, indeed, this was a treasure even Qu Lishang needed, and knew that such a treasure could only be found in the Imperial Palace.

However, for the Emperor to bestow the Creation Golden Lotus upon Su Yuwei showed how much he valued her.

But the more this was so, the clearer Wang Junze was about how difficult it would be to get that Emperor to cancel the marriage gift.

Opening his mouth, Wang Junze wanted to say something, but in the end couldn't speak.
