The Heavenly Gate City hung between several towering mountain peaks. On the city walls, there were countless thick iron cables, stretching out like dragon bodies. The iron cables were connected to the surrounding mountains, supporting the entire city above a huge lake.

Ye Anping rode his sweaty horse, hugging Pei Lianxue in front and being hugged by Feng Yu Die from behind. He stopped the horse at the top of one of the mountain peaks, overlooking the hanging city that loomed in the distance. Looking from above, the everlasting lights of the suspended city could be seen as a spectacle of happiness and prosperity.

Without a word, Liang Zhu floated to the side with his flying sword.

Su Waner steered her little white horse forward and stopped shoulder-to-shoulder with Ye Anping and the others. Following Ye Anping\'s gaze, she looked at the Heavenly Gate City at the foot of the mountain and inquired curiously. "What are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Of course in regards to what happened with that Inspector. As soon as he died, the Division probably knew immediately. Your big brother was with that person, and now that person is dead, but he is still alive. Now, he will definitely be suspected. When the time comes, he will be unable to defend himself and will be arrested."

Ye Anping smiled lightly at her words, and he replied, "I will testify for him as a disciple of the Black Star Sect when he comes. Not to mention I have someone to take the blame for us."

"Take the blame?" Su Waner raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"The Immortal Thief. Didn\'t she take that Jiang He\'s spiritual spear?"

?

Hearing this, Su Waner was taken aback.

She\'d been quite curious about how Ye Anping was going to wrap up the death of that Justice Division Inspector, but it turned out that he was planning to drop this hot potato in her hands, eh?

Ye Anping looked at her frozen expression in amusement and said, "We\'ll say the one who killed the Justice Division

Inspector was the Immortal Thief. After all, there were only a few of us present at that time, so we can make up this story any way we want. Besides, the Immortal Thief did appear at the scene at that time. Putting the suspicion on someone who was in the area is one of the most commonly used methods to stall for time."

"What if the Justice Division catches the Immortal Thief later and she rats you out?"

"The Justice Division has to be able to catch her first. The Immortal Thief has been rampant in the Southern, Western, and Central Regions for decades without being caught. How can she be that easy to catch?"

Ye Anping looked Su Waner up and down, then shook his head and sighed as he continued to praise. "The Immortal Thief\'s escape skills are quite impressive. If there\'s a chance later, I really want to ask her out for a cup of tea and chat."

It\'s nice to hear this... Su Waner asked with a grin, "Chat about what?"

"I need her help with something."

"With what?"

"Miss Su, why do you want to know? It\'s not like you\'re the Immortal Thief."

"... I\'m just asking, okay?"

Ye Anping slightly shook his head and did not answer. Then, he pulled on the bridle, turned the horse around, and went down the mountain road.

Looking at the three people on the horseback, Su Waner sneered slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.

She even helped these people kill the Justice Division

Inspector, but Ye Anping still wanted to put the blame on her.

What a little ungrateful bastard.

However, she quite liked it. The more shrewd the man named Ye was, the bigger benefits she\'d have if she followed him.

"Hey! Wait... Giddy up!!!" Su Waner quickly spurred the horse and followed them.

The five people and two horses slowly went down along the mountain path, when suddenly, a falcon cry came from the sky.

Yiiii~~~!

Feng Yu Die, who was sitting on the horse\'s butt and resting with her face on Ye Anping\'s back, suddenly woke up. "Huh? What kind of bird screams so loudly?"

Liang Zhu looked up and saw the falcon hovering above them in the sky, and reminded him. "Sixth Brother, the Justice Division\'s people are here."

"I know."

Ye Anping nodded, then gently pulled the reins to stop the horse, and at the same time motioned to Su Waner not to act rashly.

The breeze gently stroked the forest leaves on both sides of the mountain road.

Two men in golden robes walked out of the forest on both sides of the road, stopping ten feet away from Ye Anping and others, and looked at the five people in the middle of the road warily.

At the same time, two other officers of the Justice Division also came out on the road behind Ye Anping.

After surrounding Ye Anping and the others, one of them stepped forward and, looking at Liang Zhu on the flying sword, cupped his hands and said, "We have been waiting for a long time. Officer, you previously sent back the jade slips to inform us of Inspector Jiang He\'s death. We have been ordered by the Commander to wait here to pick you up."

Liang Zhu jumped down from his flying sword and took out his Justice Division badge from his storage bag. "I\'m sorry to trouble you, Seniors."

The man glanced at the badge in Liang Zhu\'s hand, and after confirming his identity, he turned his attention to Ye Anping and the three girls. "May I ask who the three fellow cultivators on this black horse are?"

Ye Anping, Feng Yu Die, and Pei Lianxue dismounted, took out their Black Star Sect identity badges, and cupped their hands. "My name is Ye Anping, and accompanying me are my two sisters. The three of us are all disciples of the Black Star

Sect. We met Officer Liang and Inspector Jiang He when passing by the First Spring Town. We also witnessed the whole process of Inspector Jiang He\'s demise, so we came along to testify."

After seeing their identity badges, the officer of the Justice Division bowed respectfully, and finally, his eyes came to Su Waner riding on the white horse. "May I ask who this lady is?"

"..."

Su Waner was a little embarrassed as she had nothing to prove her identity. In the end, she jumped off the horse, cupped her hands as well, then moved to Ye Anping\'s side and said, "I\'m with them."

Probably because Su Waner\'s clothes did not look like a sect disciple\'s and she seemed slightly flustered, the man frowned. "Are you also a disciple of the Black Star Sect?"

"..."

Su Waner touched Ye Anping\'s arm and asked with her eyes, Can I also pass as a disciple of the Black Star Sect?

However, Ye Anping only smiled slightly, grabbed her wrist, and signaled to Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue at the same time.

Pei Lianxue and Feng Yu Die understood immediately. The former reached out and grabbed Su Waner\'s other wrist, while Feng Yu Die hugged her waist.

?

Su Waner was a little confused by this reaction. Why did these two little girls and this Ye guy grab her?

The next moment, Liang Zhu, who was standing in front of them, said something that directly woke her up from her contemplation. "Seniors, this girl is the one who killed Inspector Jiang He, and she\'s the one that goes by the name \'Immortal Thief\'."

"Huh?!"

Su Waner\'s eyes widened, but the next moment, three swords were crossed directly in front of her neck, making her hold her breath instantly.

Ye Anping smiled at her and whispered, "Miss Su, are you curious as to how I know this?"

Su Waner gulped and laughed foolishly. "Ahaha... Mr. Ye, this joke is not funny. How could I be the Immortal Thief? You see, I have been following you..."

"Miss Su, it doesn\'t matter whether you are the Immortal Thief or not. What is important is that we three Black Star Sect disciples say you are, and Officer Liang says the same."

Ye Anping narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Just help us and take the blame."
