2262 She Could Easily Abandon Anyone, But Not The Beas (2/2)
Fearing for his life, the governor broke out in cold sweat. His voice trembled with fear as he said, ”Master, I… I will investigate the matter thoroughly! Perhaps… Perhaps someone smart has managed to figure out the secret signs used between my women and me.”
He was sure that the signs were unique. Their way of communication was through a series of flirtation, which was impossible to be discovered by any onlooker. How could the thief figure out the sequence so quickly?
A sudden idea occurred to Yun Yanli. Quickly, he released the Bloody Butterfly to locate Gu Xijiu's beast. Soon, the Bloody Butterfly returned. It was clear that Gu Xijiu and her ride, the Clouded Leopard King, were already more than 800 miles away from their location. They were supposedly heading towards Luo Hua City.
Gu Xijiu always traveled on the Clouded Leopard Beast. Over the past year, they had never been separated from one another. Even when they had to part ways, it would be for more than two hours. She always claimed that the Clouded Leopard King was her favorite.

Under the current circumstance, she would not let the Clouded Leopard King return to Luo Hua City alone. After all, there was no reason for her to do that. Also, why would she steal the spiritual crystals? She probably did not even though about their presence here.
Perhaps the people from the Shura Devil Kingdom must have conducted the theft. Nonetheless, no matter who the thief was, the governor of Suiye City could not get away from his responsibility for the entire incident.
Yun Yanli gave the governor a firm look in the eye.
”Someone!” He called out loud. Then, he continued with a gentle tone to convey a firm message, ”Take him out and punish him hard with 300 strikes of the Spiritual Wind Whip, but keep him alive so that he can retrieve all the spiritual stones for me!”
The entire residence turned into a mess. Many armed men were sent to find the possible thief. Every guest inn, every restaurant, and every house was searched thoroughly. All of a sudden, the entire Suiye City went into a state of panic.
It was already midnight when the search began. Most of the citizens were already asleep when the armed soldiers broke into the houses. They stared at the armed forces helplessly, not knowing what had happened.
Gu Xijiu did not stay in any guest inn but also had not left the city yet. At this moment, she sat high up on a tree and watched as the entire search frenzy unfolded before her eyes. Every available armed force was organized into teams.
