Chapter 887 - : Another Deal! (1/2)

Chapter 887: Another Deal!

The wedding was held as scheduled. As the favorite daughter of the emperor, the ostentation and extravagance of Ling Ge’s wedding was absolutely unprecedented. At the same time, Yun Tianhe became a widely-sought figure in the imperial city.

As his best man, Bai Xiaofei was particularly conspicuous at the wedding. Surprisingly, this best man seldom communicated with people and focused more on eating.

“Let’s hope Huskie won’t expose himself, or I will strip his skin,” sighed the actual Bai Xiaofei as he snuck into the Puppetsmith Holy Mountain.

Blackie cast him a look of contempt. As if that silly dog isn’t taught by you!

“Blackie, how is it?” Bai Xiaofei endured the contempt since he needed Blackie’s ability to scout the surroundings.

Blackie did not disappoint. A safe route immediately emerged in Bai Xiaofei’s mind.

“I thought everyone would leave, but they actually left some guards. Our advertisement work was not quite there, huh?” he complained upon realizing that he could not slack off and quickly moved forward.

According to distance, the closest to him, Pinocchio’s lair, was the first stop. After Bai Xiaofei bypassed the guard, he successfully arrived at his destination.

“What are you looking for? I can help you.” Golden Feather came out of the puppet space as soon as Bai Xiaofei stopped.

“The more complicated the puppet, the more diagrams are needed for its production. Since Ling Ge had put forward the requirement to check all of her guests’ storage items for safety reasons, our target would definitely leave such diagrams at home, and that’s what we’re looking for.” Bai Xiaofei would not act without thorough preparation.

The people of the Puppetsmith Holy Mountain would not doubt the emperor’s intentions because on the surface, all of his available personnel were present at the wedding scene, including ‘Bai Xiaofei.’

For nearly half an hour, the two searched the room without finding any suspicious diagrams and materials. Bai Xiaofei even scanned for grievances in the forging room.

“Does this prove that he is innocent?” Golden Feather was not bothered by the fact that they came out empty-handed. She considered this ruling out a suspect.

“No one can be proven innocent until the truth is in front of us.” With a smile, Bai Xiaofei headed to the next stop.

And then, the stop after that…

Using a day, he searched the residences of all the godsmiths and still found nothing.

“Can’t things like diagrams just be memorized?” Golden Feather suggested.

“I thought so as well and especially asked Yun Tianhe about this issue. He told me that forging human puppets is no small matter, there are thousands of cumbersome steps and even the very top-class puppetsmiths can’t remember them all. What’s more, what we’ve seen so far are obviously semi-finished products. In other words, that person is still experimenting,” replied Bai Xiaofei.

Golden Feather couldn’t help but sigh. “In that case, we are looking in the wrong place, right?”

“Wait… Yeah! We may have come to the wrong place!” Bai Xiaofei’s eyes suddenly lit up at Golden Feather’s depressed words. Slapping his own head, he had decided on the next target. “Let’s go! To the public forging rooms!”

Golden Feather immediately understood what he meant.

How could someone carry out such a shady thing in their own home? The perfect place would be a public forging room where no one would know who have used it.

“But there are way more than just one or two public forging rooms here. I’m afraid the people here will return before we finish investigating them all,” Golden Feather reminded.

Bai Xiaofei mused on it a little and said as he walked, “First of all, the smith would need a lot of assistants to forge human puppets, so that place definitely can’t be small. Secondly, the hardest step in the process is forging the spirit, the materials of which vary and therefore require different temperatures for the fire, especially in the case of complex human spirits! So, except for the private forging room of the five godsmiths, the only public room that meets this condition is the central room that very few people go to!”

Before long, the two arrived at the central forging room.

Unlike other places, this place had no guards since no one could endure its high temperature for a long time and there was nothing to watch here.

“It should be this place. The grievances here are much stronger than in the ghost villages we went to before!” Bai Xiaofei exclaimed.
