”I’ve done everything up to this point. Finding people within a narrowed scope, which should be a simple task, you all, should be able to handle it easily, right?”

As Qin Tian and Xu Junwei were still examining Tie Shi’s handwriting, Divine Sword suddenly said this, leaving Xu Junwei and Qin Tian stunned.

”Divine Sword, finding people is probably the hardest thing, isn’t it? It’s not easy.” Xu Junwei said.

”Haha, ant, the code name you chose really suits you... calling you stupid, you really are stupid. First of all, there can’t be many who have worked in both the East State Army and the City Guard Army. Adding that they’re at the rank of Chiliarch and Commander, even fewer. I estimate no more than twenty people. And you tell me it’s difficult? Are you joking?”

Divine Sword looked younger than Xu Junwei, and his speech was completely mocking and disrespectful, which infuriated Qin Tian: ”If you think it’s easy, go handle it yourself. What do you need us for? You came to East Capital for this matter, I see you’re so boastful, bragging to the heavens, then do this task yourself.”

”What do you mean!”

Hearing Qin Tian’s mocking words, Divine Sword instantly became angry, took two steps to Qin Tian, and roared, ”Lonely Wolf, you’re a newcomer, talking to me in this tone? Do you not know Divine Sword’s temper!”

”Haha, I really don’t know. Be my guest.”

”You want a beating!”

Divine Sword was enraged, ready to strike Qin Tian, but Xu Junwei, considering the bigger picture, directly stopped Divine Sword, ”Divine Sword, calm down, calm down, we haven’t finished the mission yet. Don’t let such a minor issue harm the harmony among us. Calm down...”

”Humph, Lonely Wolf, just you wait! I’ll prove to you with my means what true Long Yin is! This matter, you don’t need to interfere, I’m handling it!”

Divine Sword acted very spiritedly, saying, ”However, you better listen, once Tie Shi and White Fox are found, I, Divine Sword, will be the total person in charge of East Capital City, and you all, will have to listen to me!”

After speaking, Divine Sword flashed and instantly moved from the boat on the lake to the shore!

”Teleportation!?”

Xu Junwei was startled, saying, ”This Divine Sword is actually a master at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage? Whether he’s finished his Tribulation Crossing or not... Haha, they all say the Imperial City is full of strong individuals and reaching the Longevity Realm is merely a start. Today, I’ve finally witnessed it.”

After Divine Sword showed his skill, Xu Junwei was shocked repeatedly.

Qin Tian sneered, ”Such a person, what’s the use of having the skill, constantly showing off, not treating us as humans, looking down on us, the skill won’t be too strong.”

”Lonely Wolf, don’t be too extreme either. Our Long Yin recruits are all world’s experts, and these experts, naturally have different temperaments, so everyone should give in a bit, endure a little.”

”Since Divine Sword said he will handle this matter, let’s watch and see what he’s capable of. If by chance he really investigates thoroughly, then he’s capable. If he can’t find anything, haha, then maybe he’ll restrain himself a bit in the future.”

Qin Tian listened to Xu Junwei’s words, and smiled bitterly, ”Ant, your temper is the best, graceful, I always thought Divine Sword was a fraud.”

...

In the days following, Divine Sword seemed to disappear, presumably searching for Tie Shi.

Qin Tian didn’t see him, nor did he wish to.

Qin Tian only knew from Xu Junwei that after Divine Sword had been busy for over ten days, he seemed to have no leads.

This guy left East Capital City for six years, now returning, he basically has no acquaintances.

Even if there are acquaintances, they’re not high officials of the East State Army and City Guard Army, just a few friends like Centurions. These kinds of people, how can they help Divine Sword?

”A buffoon, with an IQ of someone in their forties, I’m really speechless.”

Qin Tian sneered. Besides wanting to see Divine Sword’s joke, privately he was also investigating information about Tie Shi.

According to Divine Sword, Qin Tian’s first step was to obtain the lists of Chiliarch and Commander ranks from the East State Army and City Guard Army and eliminate them one by one.

For Qin Tian, now an East Gate General, this was no difficult task; the City Guard Army’s list was easy to obtain.

As for the East State Army, because Qin Tian had once defeated the feared Dragon Clan’s army on the East State battlefield, various camps of the East State Army held great affection toward Qin Tian.

In recent days, as Qin Tian increased his communication with people at the General Level, gradually becoming friends, he managed to obtain corresponding lists of the four major camps.

With these lists, the investigation work was handed over to Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu.

They investigated the backgrounds of these people one by one, especially focusing on whether they had worked in both the East State Army and City Guard Army; apart from the time issue, there were no other problems.

Xiao Zhuang and his team completed the task in less than five days.

Among the five lists, with Xiao Zhuang and others’ investigation, those meeting the criteria were narrowed down to thirty-two people.

Among these thirty-two, six were from the City Guard Army, whereas the remaining twenty-six belonged to the four major camps.

Qin Tian decided to start with the City Guard Army, which was more convenient for him to investigate.

Among the six, two were Commanders, four were Chiliarchs, and two were even part of Qin Tian’s army.

”Boss, here are the handwriting samples from the four Chiliarchs, take a look.”

Xiao Zhuang presented the four Chiliarchs’ handwriting samples to Qin Tian. Qin Tian shook his head immediately, disappointed, ”It’s not them.”

”If these four aren’t the ones, then it’s down to Commander Zhu Shuai and Commander Wang Yushan.”

Xiao Zhuang said disappointedly, ”If neither of them is the one, then we’ll have to work harder and start searching for handwriting samples from the four major camps one by one. This will take some time, as military documents from the four major camps aren’t easily accessible.”

”Let’s start with Zhu Shuai and Wang Yushan. Zhu Shuai is a Commander under General Lei Shi, I’ll find an opportunity to scour his place when visiting Lei Shi, shouldn’t be an issue.”

Qin Tian thought for a moment, ”As for Wang Yushan, he’s a logistic Commander; his handwriting should be available in the Deputy Governor’s Mansion or Governor’s Mansion, oh, and of course, at Logistics General Bai Xiuqin’s place too.”

”Alright, I’ll handle these two. I’m not familiar with General Bai Xiuqin, and as for the two Deputy Governors, let’s not talk about it. It seems after visiting General Lei Shi’s mansion, I’ll have to go to the Governor’s Mansion too. Hopefully, Zhu Shuai is the person I’m looking for, it would save a lot of trouble...”

Qin Tian set the plan, and the next day he went to visit General Lei Shi.

He was very familiar with Lei Shi, and both being from Xiao Zhan’s direct lineage, he easily saw Zhu Shuai’s military report for Lei Shi—

It wasn’t Tie Shi’s handwriting.
