I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 968

The crowd behind them also 'hua la' knelt down, their eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

A Heavenly Qilin Guard Thousand Households, that's a fifth-grade official from the capital!

How did these two deities suddenly arrive at this godforsaken place?

Even Feng Liu was a bit dazed, thinking that the Female Hundred Households was the leader, but it turned out she was just a follower?

And the young man who chatted with him all the way, with such a kind demeanor, was actually the Thousand Households?!

Chen Mo said lightly, "You can all get up now. Lord Ji, shall we go inside and talk?"

"My lord, please come inside."

Ji Weifeng got up, bowed, and led the group into the hall. After they sat down, he personally poured tea.

Then he came to Chen Mo's side, rubbing his hands awkwardly, "Sir, may I have the courage to take a look at your waist token..."

Earlier it was only flashed in front of him and he couldn't see clearly.

If someone impersonates an imperial official to gain his trust for some unspeakable purpose, it would be a huge trouble.

"Of course."

Chen Mo took out a string of colorful tokens, removed the Qilin Token, and tossed it to the other party.

The waist token of the Sky Scale Guard is not only a symbol of identity but also an "enforcement recorder". If performing official duties, specific information will be synchronously engraved on it, and can be verified at any time through local offices.

Ji Weifeng caught it in a rush and examined it carefully.

The token was indeed real, with the words [Directly Subordinate Heavenly Qilin Guard Northern Town Patrol Department Thousand Households Chen Mo] engraved on the back.

"Directly Subordinate" means "directly under the court", followed by specific official positions and names.

Noticing the name at the end, Ji Weifeng was taken aback, incredulously saying, "You... you are Mr. Chen?!"

Chen Mo curiously asked, "What, you recognize me?"

"Of course I do!" Ji Weifeng's breathing quickened with excitement, "Who in the entire Southern Border doesn't know Mr. Chen? In Linyang County of Nantu State, you saved nearly ten thousand people in the city, sounded the horn for the downfall of the Gu God Sect, and later, in the Ten Thousand Mountains, you killed the Blood Demon, purging this great menace from the Southern Border..."

Talking about this, Ji Weifeng knew it like the back of his hand.

The fervor and reverence in his voice were unmistakable.

Ever since the court sent troops to flatten the Gu God Sect, the entire Southern Border officialdom also experienced a huge reshuffle, from Prefectural Governors to County Magistrates, all were thoroughly investigated.

Those who could securely remain in their positions at least indicated that they were clean.

Chen Mo lifted his teacup, skimmed off the foam, and said, "I am here this time for matters concerning the Gu God Sect."

"Hmm?"

Ji Weifeng was taken aback, "What do you mean by this, my lord?"

"The Gu God Sect's mountain gate was destroyed, but the Sect Hierarch Yin Tiankou managed to escape, and now is regrouping followers, showing signs of resurgence," Chen Mo said with narrowed eyes, "According to reliable information, Fengmu County is one of the main areas of activity for the Gu God Sect. Are you aware of this?"

?!

"Don't joke about this, my lord." Ji Weifeng instinctively shook his head, "Our Fengmu County is just a tiny place, apart from the occasional northern merchant caravan passing through, it's full of familiar faces in the town. If a few Jianghu people come by, the locals would gossip for days, so how could a large group of sect remnants enter the city without me noticing?"

"Is that so? Perhaps you should think carefully again?" Chen Mo scrutinized him with narrowed eyes.

Only then did Ji Weifeng realize, and with a tense expression, said, "Does Mr. Chen suspect I have ties with the Gu God Sect?!"

Chen Mo played with the teacup in his hand, silent.

Unexpectedly, Ji Weifeng immediately unbuttoned his official robe, lifted his underwear, revealing an ugly scar almost running through his chest, and said aloud, "In the past, because of my refusal to collude with those sect disciples, I was assassinated. If not for my large luck avoiding a life-threatening injury, I'd have been six feet under by now!"

"But my wife and children weren't so lucky, my whole family of seven were poisoned!"
