Chapter 139 The Emperor's Decree

Mu An, Renée, and Nina squeezed out from the crowd.

While it was called "squeezing," it was actually more of a clever use of spiritual energy to make the crowd automatically part and clear a path.

"Who are you supposed to be? Can't you see your official superior is busy with official business?"

"This is under the feet of the Son of Heaven; if you obstruct us from executing justice, you wouldn't have enough heads to cut off even if you had ten!"

Upon seeing the three of them, especially the two great beauties Renée and Nina, Yamen Captain's gaze instantly fixed on them.

Judging by their clothing, they didn't seem to be from ordinary families, but their faces were unfamiliar; they were likely not the offspring of any court officials.

They were probably the children of some wealthy merchants out to see the world.

Thinking of this, Yamen Captain didn't stand on ceremony and immediately employed the old-timer's tactic of slapping a big label on them first.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

Wei Yinan's face was filled with excitement as she hurriedly knelt on one knee before Mu An.

Unlike Yamen Captain, who had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, ever since she had seen the true face of Qingyun Old Ancestor, Mu An, she had silently kept it in her heart.

She had thought it would take a lot of effort to find this great figure, but she didn't expect to run into him by chance today.

The ancients were right; fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

"Rise first."

Mu An naturally had an impression of Wei Yinan.

When he killed the great demon at Cang River last time, she was the one who acted as the "first bird," and later, when he went to the Qingyun Sect, he had also met her once.

However, he didn't expect that after he disbanded the Qingyun Sect, she would travel thousands of miles to the capital. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or for some other reason.

To the side.

Under Mu An's instruction, Nina handed Wei Yinan a third-grade Medicinal Pill capable of healing her injuries.

Not long ago, the three of them were still worrying about the kidnapped child at the Ninth Princesss Residence.

But after learning the child's appearance and name, everything became simple again. With the help of the "Enemy Detection Radar," it didn't take long for Mu An to accurately locate the child, and he immediately rushed there with Renée.

As for why Xiao Qingzhu didn't come...

She was a noble princess and could not easily appear in public.

Firstly, it was for safety reasons; secondly, she didn't want to cause a lot of unnecessary commotion.

Finally, and most importantly, after taking over the position at the Demon Suppression Bureau, she had to understand and familiarize herself with its specific personnel and various tasks as soon as possible.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Wei Yinan respectfully took the Medicinal Pill, while simultaneously letting out a quiet sigh of relief.

To be honest, at the moment she saw Mu An, she was extremely anxious and had thought about many, many things.

She had even prepared herself to be scolded or even driven away on the spot.

But to keep her Senior Sister alive, she would shamelessly stick by his side to seek help no matter what.

Now it seemed that this Qingyun Old Ancestor wasn't that difficult to get along with...

"It seems... you are accomplices of this female criminal? Such great audacity!"

"How dare you come to break a prisoner out in broad daylight? Do you really think the Yamen doesn't exist? This is contempt for imperial authority!"

Due to his viewing angle, Yamen Captain didn't see what Nina had handed to Wei Yinan.

But he didn't intend to let Mu An and the others go either, and his reasons were stated in a high-sounding manner, when in reality, he was just lecherous.

"Men! Take them all to the celestial prison!"

At Yamen Captain's command, the Yamen guards surrounded them, eager to try.

"Hmph! Let's see who dares!"

Renée snorted coldly and revealed a token in her hand.

It was nothing else but the human emperors token that Emperor Lu Changsheng had bestowed upon Mu An through Xiao Qingzhu.

Its effect wasn't anything special, it was just... to see it is to see Your Majesty in person!
