"So, isn't your Heavenly Patrol Department working for the Da Li Royal Family? Since the royal family wants to use Esoteric Buddhism to eliminate me, why did your Heavenly Patrol Department leak the information and collude with me, a member of the Demon Path?"
Su Jie tapped the table and suddenly questioned the Heavenly Patrol Department's motives.
Their intentions might not solely be to exchange for Qin Yushang, and besides, how do they know that I will keep my word and agree to release Qin Yushang?
Ji Wen paused for a moment, then replied, "Su Sect Master, the royal family is the royal family, and the Heavenly Patrol Department is the Heavenly Patrol Department. More accurately, the Heavenly Patrol Department nominally works for the Imperial Authority, but that does not mean our Director, Zhang Qingcang, has to fully obey all of His Majesty's orders."
