Three days later

An exhaustive joint report was placed on Tang Luo’s desk, the result of a collaboration between the West City Public Security Bureau and the Tang Clan’s

Wind Media.

With the help of these two reports, Tang Luo was able to understand the ins and outs of the case involving poisoning and slander.

Lou Hongzhi, a native of Xiling. He studied medicine from a young age but was not interested in healing, rather he took pleasure in mastering poisons and harmful plants. At the age of fifteen, he started the Foundation Building, and at twenty-eight, he broke through to an advanced level. His martial arts style was strange; specializing in defensive techniques but without any proficiency in hand-to-hand combat. He was adept in using poison, so his opponents often died from severe poisoning rather than through combat. He was brilliant and proud.

He once said, “The world belongs to the virtuous, not the tyrannical. Then only the son of Pride of Xiling, Shen, can ascend to the throne.”

In other words, he is an irrational fan of Prince Shen, deeply desiring to enter his mansion and show his capabilities.

However, because of his average ability, Prince Shen’s mansion which already has five hundred advanced martial artists, would not value a poison user highly. Therefore, Lou Hongzhi, unwilling to be beneath her, did not recommend himself to join Prince Shen’s mansion.

After the duel with Jiang Lin, Prince Shen’s reputation was greatly damaged. His retainers left one by one, including several advanced martial artists.

Prince Shen became the laughing stock of Xiling overnight. While the Tang Clan’s operation played a role in this, the main reason was that there were too many people watching the duel. They felt that Prince Shen was too cowardly. Martial artists respect bravery and see risking their lives in battle as the highest honour. Prince Shen’s retreating means that he lacks bravery. This disappointed those martial artists who had rallied behind him because of his reputation, leading them to leave.

But this gave Lou Hongzhi a chance to be taken seriously. With Zhang Xinghe dead, there was a vacancy at Prince Shen’s house, and his reputation had taken a significant hit.
