In the Joyful Forest, flames shot into the sky, burning the night curtain red. Ash flew like fluttering snow-white magnolias.
Amidst the burning, withering magnolias that filled the sky, Wu Dao stood tall like a pillar supporting the heavens. He used his old trick, controlling the White Fox's Spiritual Wisdom Soul to ask a series of questions.
"Guangqing Prefecture's... Chief Eunuch... is the Grandmaster of the White Whale Martial Arts Hall... Qi Canghai."
The White Fox's weak reply echoed.
Qi Canghai!!
'It really is that bastard!'
This first answer alone made Wu Dao's expression darken, and he ground his teeth in frustration.
「Ten days ago.」
He had suspected Qi Canghai and even visited him in person to confirm, but the result was that Qi Canghai showed no signs of anything unusual.
In the following days, his suspicions hadn't completely vanished. He had found excuses, both overtly and covertly, to enter the White Whale Headquarters and test Qi Canghai multiple times.
