"You—"
The two strangers saw the duo confronting Su Mu at a glance. Their expressions changed, and with a flash, they moved to surround him.
Su Mu gave them a cool glance, his right hand resting lightly on the hilt of his blade.
"Wait."
Seeing this, Luo Anning quickly interjected, "Senior Brother Su, these men are Inspectors from the provincial capital. They want to question us about the details of Envoy Feng from the Shennong Hundred Herbs Sect being ambushed and killed by Hu Guangshao. Master Wan is over there, too."
Luo Anning explained the situation clearly in just two sentences.
'If anyone ever called Miss Luo unintelligent, Su Mu would have to disagree.' He thought. 'She's just a bit too stubborn about certain things, which makes her seem inflexible, but she's actually quite sharp.'
Her words not only informed Su Mu of the other party's origins but also let him know that with Master Wan present, they had backing and no reason to fear them.
'Inspectors?'
