"Quite interesting indeed..."
The Emperor, rubbing his fingers, stared intently at Chen Qing as he stepped into the arena from the crowd!
The intelligence suggesting that Chen Qing was likely not in Jiangnan had been obtained through massive bribes and the defection of countless scouts, and it coincided with the current situation in Jiangnan.
Half a year ago, during that duel, Chen Qing alone faced off against Siao Mingyue, who had been infected, but because of a force, he was rendered unable to see the outcome. The end result was... Siao Mingyue died, and her body was returned by Jiangnan, while Chen Qing... had not shown his face for the next half a year.
The information came from some high-ranking military officials in Jiangnan and feedback from children of magicians, which is why he had launched this probe.
