Song Yan Ning shook her head with a smile and glanced at the portrait held by the shopkeeper. The portrait depicted them, one was a wanted poster previously issued by the Qingshui Sect, and the other was just issued by the Black Thought Stone Mine.
"These three are really bold, daring to provoke both the Qingshui Sect and the Black Thought Stone Mine," the shopkeeper shook his head and put away the wanted posters, "What type of room would you like? We have Class A rooms and Class B rooms."
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen exchanged a smile, "One Class B room."
"Alright!" the shopkeeper responded, pulling out a Jade Token and placing it on the counter, "This is your room's Jade Token. Little Dog, take these two guests to their room."
"Coming!" the waiter responded and ran over, giving Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning a warm smile before leading the way, "Please follow me."
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen nodded their heads and followed the waiter.
At the City Lord Mansion, Zhou Feran stared blankly at the newly issued wanted poster from the Black Thought Stone Mine. Although the people in the portrait had changed their appearances, he was certain it was definitely Qin Yushen.
"City Lord, should we increase the manpower for the pursuit?" the Deputy City Lord asked. The Black Thought Stone Mine was a significant force in Dongzhou City, and each year, the mine delivered a batch of Black Thought Stones to the City Lord Mansion.
Zhou Feran shook his head, "No, let's leave it with these people." He did not want to offend the Black Thought Stone Mine, but he was even less willing to offend Qin Yushen and his companions.
"I heard the Black Thought Stone Mine lost a lot of Black Thought Stones this time, even some top-grade ones," said the Deputy City Lord. He also had guessed that the people who went to the Black Thought Stone Mine were the same group that had visited the City Lord Mansion.
"Top-grade Black Thought Stone?" Zhou Feran was somewhat surprised. He had never even seen top-grade Black Thought Stone before.
"That's what the steward of the Black Thought Stone Mine said," replied the Deputy City Lord, who was also somewhat incredulous.
Zhou Feran pondered for a moment, "Those people, if they can be not offended, it's best not to. They are definitely not simpler than those forces."
"Yes!" the Deputy Sect Master nodded in agreement. Even if the City Lord had not mentioned it, he wouldn't dare to offend those people.
When Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen entered the room, they set up a shielding formation and entered into the space. Having obtained so many top-grade Black Thought Stones, they naturally used them to strengthen their Divine Sense.
Seeing the Fox King, Fox Queen, Hu Lan, and Hu Zheng all cultivating, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen exchanged a smile, walked over to them, and sat down cross-legged.
Waving her hand to gather thousands of Black Thought Stones around her, Song Yan Ning closed her eyes.
Before long, Song Yan Ning felt streams of energy soothing her Divine Sense flooding into her Sea of Consciousness. She increased the circulation speed of her Divine Sense, and slowly, her Sea of Consciousness became more solidified.
Time unknowingly passed, and Song Yan Ning was completely immersed in her cultivation.
"Still haven't found him?" the Black Thought Stone Mine Owner said with a grim expression, looking at his subordinate who had come to report. In an effort to catch the young man in blue who had taken from the Black Thought Stone Mine, he had dispatched all available people, but now, two days had gone by without a single trace of him.
The entirety of Dongzhou City had been locked down, allowing entry but not exit, not even a fly could escape, so he was certain the person was still in Dongzhou City.
"No, we haven't found him. We've checked all the inns, but there's no one matching the person in the wanted poster," guessed his subordinate. "Mine Owner, could it be that the person has disguised himself?"
The Black Thought Stone Mine Owner paused briefly, then burst into laughter, "Go check, arrest all the Loose Cultivators who are neither from Dongzhou City nor sect disciples." This time he would rather kill wrongly than let one go.
