Chapter 0545: That's a Bit of an Overstatement
Within the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Tian believed there were three places most likely to conceal secrets: the mansion's study, the City Lord's bedroom, and the City Lord himself.
In the several days since Qi Tian had entered the City Lord's Mansion, he had stealthily inspected its study but to no avail. He turned the place inside out yet failed to find any valuable clues. The study was well-furnished, but there wasn't a single item infused with Spirit Qi. Most documents related to city defense and population registers. Qi Tian concluded that the City Lord was a cautious man, likely trusting himself above all others, much like most cultivators. He would prefer to carry useful and precious items on his person rather than leaving them elsewhere.
