Three men in silver robes appeared on the spot right after Gale and Jasmine left the place.
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ One of them said this after looking at corpses. "From the looks of their faces, they look pretty surprised."
"I think they were killed by our enemy. Look, there are spear wounds along with claw marks."
All of them looked at the bodies and lined them up in the same place.
"Wait a minute. How many talismans were burned?"
"if I remember currently, it was eleven."
The reason he gave was that they don't collect the soul talismans of servants as they are not part of the family.
The one who was silent the whole time finally spoke."I think we have a traitor among us."
"Why do you say that?" The other two were confused by that.
"How can someone be alive if his soul talisman is burned?"
Yes, how can someone be alive? They had been doing this job for so many years and they were experienced at it. They had never seen anyone do something like that.
"You are a newbie. Just let us do our job."
"Yes, kiddo. The patriarch and the elders will decide what happened."
However, that kid didn't back down. "I was fortunate to be able to be an outer sect disciple in the Pure Cloud Sect. I was able to see many things. So, to remove a low-level soul talisman is possible in every way."
The other two looked at each other and were surprised. Because the Pure Cloud Sect was well known in their area, as they recruit from their place every year. It was also filled with various powerhouses. So, they decided to believe him.
"Okay, your name is Niloy, right? We will tell that to the patriarch."
"Kid, you might get tons of merit for this."
However, Niloy didn't seem happy about it. He was thinking of solving this.
Niloy was 23 years old. He was talented in cultivation from the start. Then, during the sect's recruitment, he was selected. He was full of optimism about the success that was about to come in the future for him.
But, only after coming out of his short cage, he was able to find people with talent that had reached the sky. They couldn't be measured by common knowledge. Still, he didn't lose hope and tried to progress forward.
However, not all hard work comes to fruition. He was beaten down by everybody, and he looked up just to see everyone leave him behind. So, he left the sect and decided to work for the Soul Talisman Pavilion.
There was one thing that Niloy didn't know: he was good at doing detective work.
'What is this feeling?' Niloy was feeling a rush; he was trying to figure out who was the killer.
He hadn't had this feeling for so long. But he calmed himself down and thought of finding the murderer.
...
In the meantime, Gale and Jasmine sneaked into Greg's shop.
There wasn't anyone, so they relaxed a little.
Greg watched them cautiously enter his shop, and for that, he became curious. "What is it? Are you both getting chased by someone?"
"Not now, but we might be from the future," Gale said after taking a long breath.
"What did you do?" Greg asked.
Gale was about to explain, but Jasmine did it for him instead.
After Greg got the gist of it, he nodded his head."Okay, you guys can stay at my home."
"No, we can't." Gale immediately disagreed.
"Yes, mister Greg. We might bring harm to your family." Jasmine also denied it.
"Haha!" Greg just laughed. "Don't worry; they won't suspect much."
"Listen, you guys can't stay in the town as they will find you immediately. Secondly, you can't even escape outside, as they have guards stationed outside in every place."
"Then how can we even escape?" Gale asked after hearing Greg's words.
"You can hide inside the pile of carcasses that I will be taking back home. Nobody will even check it." Greg gave a carefree smile.
"Uhh," Gale didn't know what to do now. So, he asked Jasmine."Should we do it?"
Jasmine wasn't able to give her opinion as Greg rubbed their heads. "Don't sweat it. Just come with me."
They were helpless, as they could only follow what Greg said.
...
At the northeast gate.
Greg's cart full of corpse meat could be seen standing.
The guard looked at Greg and asked. "How is your day? Just chopping on some meats again?"
"Yeah, as usual." He answered with a laugh.
The guard gave him a small glance at his cart and then told him. "You can leave and be careful these days. The Burnheart family seems to have sent their soldiers everywhere. They seemed to find someone."
Greg froze for a second, then returned to normal. "Thanks for the warning."
After he left, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. No matter how brave he seemed in front of Gale and Jasmine, he was just a normal man. He was quite scared that something could have gone wrong.
Fortunately, everything went very smoothly.
Greg's home was just outside the town. All the people who live at the bottom of society live here.
They built a house of their own and they lived sparsely. But they were quite happy with what they had.
Greg's house was made of wood and straw. Woods were used for walls and the straws were for roofs. It helped them keep cool in the summer.
He looked at his cart and said."Come out, guys."
And from the carcasses, Gale and Jasmine emerged. They were using a piece of cloth to keep their bodies clean. But from the smell and the blood stains, it seemed it didn't do its job completely.
They were about to say something when a shout came out.
"Daddy, you are back!" A six year old boy who looked as same as Greg ran toward him.
