Zu An immediately focused his attention when he heard that Looks like this trip orthafter all
Unfortunately, the voice was a bit hoarse and strange, as if that person were intentionally altering his voice
“Would any of you here be able to feel at ease if Zuo Su weren’t dead?” The black-robed individual sitting farthest out spoke up just then in a slightlytone
Zu An frowned He really couldn't understand why these individuals would cover the their voice Don’t tell uish between each other here?
But upon closer inspection, he still saw soh they wore black robes, the patterns on their sleeves and collars were different
The decorative designs on the one seated farthest ahite The designs on the one to his left were orange, and the designs on the person to his left were red The other two individuals’ decorative designs were blue and yellow
What do these colors represent? Zu An wondered
But what rave were those people’s cultivations Even though it was hard to determine their exact cultivations, there were at least two master rank cultivators, as well as tere at the peak of the ninth rank Even the weakest one was around thethe fact that all of them had their own unique skills and abilities
Had all of Cloudcenter Co?
Zu An thought sarcastically, I better not set up rando my life here
The room entered an aard silence It was clear that they werehypocritical concern toward Zuo Su’s death They didn’t really care
A while later, the yellow-patterned s over “Enough, enough None of us wanted such a thing to happen Right now, our highest priority should be to think about e do now that Zuo Su has died What do we do about the power vacuum in the Civil Affairs Manor?”
The red-patterned man spoke “Hmph, Xu Yu has now taken control over the Civil Affairs Manor The power vacuuht to hiuys after all There was at least someone he could trust in Cloudcenter Commandery, at least for now
“It doesn’t matter Xu Yu isn’t someone too skilled at social interaction He doesn’t haveof a threat to us,” the blue-patternedto a youngster
The orange-patterned round He doesn’t have any powers behind him, so there’s no cause for worry”
Zu An was stunned That person’s posture was straight and upright,him seem familiar However, he couldn't think of who that person was at all
The white-patterned man tapped on the table and said, “Find a chance to try and rope in Xu Yu It’s best if we can make him one of us”
The blue-patternedand self-righteous It’s not as if we’ve never tried to rope hiht over his head”
“ThatIf he’s huht suit him more For example, wasn’t Zuo Su also stubborn at first? But in the end, he was convinced by us all the same” The white-patterned man harrumphed
“What you say makes sense I’ll think about it more,” The yellow-patterned man replied in a lowin Xu Yu, there’s another issue I’m more concerned about” The white-patternedat everyone present “Why was Zuo Su captured? Furthermore, the Imperial Envoy clearly didn’t capture him for no reason They also sent out men to capture some related officials Why does the Imperial Envoy know such detailed information?”
After some hesitation, the yellow-patterned man said, “The second in command of the imperial envoy, Zu An, visited Zhenyuan Bank and fetched a chest so decided to start arresting people I fear soht have been recorded in that chest”
The others’ attention turned to him when they heard that The red-patterned man said sinisterly, “So in the end, it was your people who leaked out this secret?”
Zu An was alarmed He hadn’t expected them to actually talk about him! It seemed this yellow patterned black robed man was someone froing from the current situation, even if he wasn’t the leader, he was definitely one of the highest-ranked roup
The yellow-patterned man waved his hand and said, “Of course not If it really had been us who leaked it out, ould I dare to say that here? That chest was soo Our bank’s rules are that we never peek at our custo”
“Who was the one who deposited that chest?” the orange-patterned man asked
