Busted

One of these Blue Uniformed guards who like their leader, stepped forward and asked the people around.

"Who was it that did this to him?" He said coldly while pointing towards the big man, who looked as if his soul had left his body as he staring at the ground with a blank expression, if he didn't know that his heart was still beating, he would have assumed that he was already dead.

A merchant amongst the bystanders was a bit frightened when he heard the tone of the officer and said while stuttering, "S-Sir, I-I-I t-think that it w-was a young b-boy who did this."

The officer started at him sternly, then turned around to leave when he heard people whispering, "Hey, wasn't it an expert who did this, right? Why is this merchant lying?"

"Who knows? Maybe he doesn't know anything so he's just spouting whatever he could think of. I mean, who would believe that a Young Boy defeated that big man. After all, he is one of the most powerful experts in the town."

The Officer kept silent, he too believed that a young boy couldn't defeat this guy, he then heard someone else talking, "You sure it wasn't it a young master from a large family?"

The officers mind was filled with confusion listening to the bunch expressing their delusions. Ryusei was quietly observing all of this from the roof of a nearby building. He smirked at his successful planning while hordes of people kept on gathering.

He knew that there was a high probability that some of them were spies as no spy would leave information about such an incident. Soon, the Blue Uniformed guards investigated left the place while carrying the big man after questioning the bystanders.

He kept observing the crowds while he singled out 4 suspicious people, they tried moving awfully close to the place of incidence while looking excited.

They kept conversing with different peoples, it was as if they were trying to dig as much information as they could as they wrote it down. Ryusei smiled as he finally had a clue about these spies.

The best thing was that the spies didn't know that Ryusei's existence. They never would never expect that a young boy had found them. Of course, Ryusei could find them so easily as they weren't that good to begin with because who would send their best spies to such to insignificant town.

Spirit Hall's expert spies had already tried to solve the mystery of their expert's deaths but couldn't find anything. So, they just left these people just for the sake of getting info about something major if they could ever find out. They didn't have much hope on them.

He decided to send Yanluo after them to capture and interrogate them. First reason was because he didn't want to blow his cover of mysteriousness just yet. He would of course follow and protect Lin Yanluo from any danger.

The second reason was that, Lin Yanluo would also be in much less danger than himself. It was because they didn't know anything about Lin Yanluo and if they tried tracking his Spirit Energy then they would lower their own cover.

After making sure that he didn't miss anything, he said in a hushed voice, "Our word is down here. Now let's go to the Clothing Store. We have to buy some clothes for you."

Rongrong nodded, she was confused as she couldn't understand about what they were doing on top of the building and what he meant that his work was completed.

But she didn't care much about it as she held onto him tightly while he jumped down on the ground. He used a bit of Spirit Energy to soften the landing as they landed in an alley.

After safely reaching the ground, Ryusei retraced his arm from her waist. Both of them once again started walking towards the clothing store whilst holding hands and after about 10 minutes, they finally found a clothing store. It was far away from their Inn and the items in the shop were also worth exploring.

Ryusei went ahead and started to look for something like a Blue Robe for her to wear. After some time, he selected a robe for her, then Rongrong covered her body with the robe.

The robe was large enough to cover her whole body while she covered her face with a mask. If he didn't already know that it was her, then even he wouldn't be able to find her identity.

After selecting the robe, they were about to leave when a man entered the shop and looked around trying to find someone, then he turned towards Ryusei and smiled as he approached him, he asked, "Did you have fun in finding rats?"

Ryusei was dumbstruck hearing his words, he was shocked to his core. He knew exactly what his words meant, 'Did you have fun finding the spies?'.

Even though his heart was in a turmoil, he asked him with a confused look, "What do you mean? What rats? What are you talking about?"

The man looked at him and shook his head and said, "I don't know it means either. A guy came to me and gave me 100 gold coins, he pointed towards you and told me to speak these words to you."

Ryusei was frightened when he heard this. He knew that this meant that there was someone who knew that Ryusei performed that stunt to find spies. Ryusei started thinking 'Does this guy really knows about me or is he bluffing? He sure guessed correctly that it was me who pulled that little stunt.'

'He even anticipated that this disturbance was to find the spies that had spread in the town and he was waiting for me to come down from a higher surface as that was the only place from where I could observe everyone.'

Ryusei looked at the man with disinterest and said, "Well if that's all you have to say then go back. Even though I don't know what you're talking about but it seems your job is done here." The man nodded and he left the clothing store.

Ryusei decided to keep watch against a possible enemy who was probably following his every move. Even though he didn't know anything about the guy, but he was damn sure that he didn't know anything about the construction of Eclipse Pagoda. He was scared that such a man was in the town and found out about him. But he didn't let it affect his plans.

He didn't know whether he was from the Spirit Hall or from that Nightfall organization. But his gut told him that the man who found out about him was most likely from Nightfall Organization.

Ryusei noticed Rongrong was looking at him with confusion. "Don't worry about it" She nodded as he continued, "But this robe looks good on you and it would be good disguise for you. Now let's go out."

They stored the clothes within her spatial locket and paid for the clothes. After completing their shopping, they casually left the store and mixed in crowds while holding hands.

Ryusei knew that the spy was most likely following them, and would most likely try to find about their place where they stayed.

So, after mixing within the stream of crowd he used his domain for a split second and teleported away to a remote alley with Rongrong. He used it with such speed that except for some Spirit Masters, no one else even realise that they had disappeared.

After making sure that no one was following them he carefully left the alley after they changing to their disguise and once again mixed in the constant stream of crowds and started moving towards fields where Lin Yanluo and others were training.
