With Xue Li in front and Deng Feng behind, the man in black felt quite frustrated.

Due to the incident with Xue Li, he had earned some disapproval from higher-ups, and his peers often used this against him, putting him in a passive position.

Now, Deng Feng emerged as another problem. His actions were even more malicious, daring to tamper with the Death Mark Seal and harm his own people.

If this matter were reported, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact on him.

Ideally, he didn't want to report it, as it would affect him personally. However, unlike Night Watch, Burial Master had different rules. Night Watch could die without consequences, but as a true Underworld Envoy, Burial Master had to report every death as a matter of protocol.

Yin Division didn't care much about Night Watch; their deaths were acceptable as long as they occurred during regular missions and were kept discreet. But Deng Feng's intentional harm to Night Watch was unacceptable to Yin Division. The impact was too severe, tarnishing Yin Division's image and disheartening countless Night Watch members.

The man in black, with an unpleasant expression on his face, observed Yang Haoran. He had some speculations, but he remained silent, waiting for the man's instructions.

After a while, the man in black refocused on Yang Haoran. His expression was grim, eyebrows furrowed, clearly not in a pleasant mood.

"If this matter spreads, it will have a certain impact on our Yin Division. I don't want this to become common knowledge. What do you think is a reasonable course of action?"

Suddenly questioning Yang Haoran in this way, the man caught Master Jiang off guard. The other two Night Watch members were still grieving the destruction of the Death Mark Seal and didn't realize the danger hidden in the man's words. However, Master Wu was different; his expression changed instantly.

With years of experience in the business world, Master Wu had a strong ability to read between the lines. Even though they weren't the main characters tonight, they had been eavesdropping and knew too much.

The man's sudden inquiry made Master Wu sense that something was amiss. Could this mysterious and powerful figure be considering eliminating all those who knew about the secret to protect it?

Considering this, Master Wu's face turned grim. His concern was not unfounded. If he were in the man in black's shoes, with no better option, he would likely choose the same path!

At this moment, Master Wu felt uneasy and anxious. He hadn't expected to encounter such a situation shortly after becoming a Night Watch. He hadn't even fully understood Night Watch, and now he might lose his life.

He couldn't help but recall Yang Haoran's words before becoming a Night Watch. Becoming a Night Watch might not necessarily be a good thing; a slight mistake could cost one's life.

Although he had mentally prepared for it at the time, facing death still made him somewhat uneasy, with a lingering sense of regret.

In this dire situation, he instinctively looked at Yang Haoran. Unexpectedly, Yang Haoran showed little reaction, appearing calm, seemingly oblivious to the potential danger in the man in black's words.

Master Wu didn't believe that Yang Haoran lacked the ability to read between the lines. He had known Yang Haoran for quite some time, and the young man was incredibly shrewd. If Yang Haoran couldn't sense the hidden meaning in such an obvious statement, Master Wu wouldn't believe it even if someone forced him to.

Yang Haoran's calm demeanor made Master Wu conclude that he likely had a plan in mind. However, this didn't ease Master Wu's worries, as even if Yang Haoran had a strategy, it might not necessarily benefit him. All Master Wu could do now was silently pray, hoping that, considering their previously good relationship, Yang Haoran would extend a helping hand.

Master Wu's various thoughts at this moment were unknown to Yang Haoran. Faced with the sudden question from the man in black, he first smiled, then responded, "If the divine envoy's concern is only about this matter, I have a method. I'm not sure if it's feasible."

The man in black didn't relax his furrowed brows upon hearing Yang Haoran's words. His expression remained unpleasant.

"What method?" the man in black asked in a deep voice.

Yang Haoran didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Master Wu and the others. Seemingly realizing something, the man in black casually deployed a soundproof barrier using Yin spirit power.

This soundproof barrier not only isolated Master Wu and the others but also left Master Jiang outside. Inside the barrier, only Yang Haoran and the man in black remained.

Outside the barrier, Master Wu could see Yang Haoran talking to the man in black, who remained silent. As for the specific conversation, Master Wu couldn't know due to the barrier, intensifying his unease.

Feeling controlled by someone else, Master Wu couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of helplessness. He even began to doubt whether his initial decision was right.

However, these doubts only lingered in his mind for a short while. After a moment, they vanished.

His decision to become a Night Watch had been carefully considered. Though facing a threat to his life so soon was unexpected, he didn't regret it. Moreover, he knew regret wouldn't change anything. Faced with the current situation, he didn't even have the qualification to speak, let alone change anything. The only thing he could do was trust Yang Haoran and place his last hope in him.

Master Wu closely watched the actions of Yang Haoran and the man in black within the barrier. Although unable to hear the conversation, he didn't want to miss any physical details between them.

Ten minutes later, the man in black lifted the barrier. Yang Haoran had a smile on his face, while the man in black, though not smiling, had relaxed his previously furrowed brows. His expression had softened.

The man in black didn't glance at Master Wu and the others or pay attention to Master Jiang. After lifting the barrier, he waved his hand toward Yang Haoran, and three items appeared in front of him.

Two iron books, one thick and one thin, along with a square wooden box about the size of a fist. Its contents were unknown.

These three items emitted a visible Yin Qi, floating in the air in front of Yang Haoran. Instead of immediately putting them away, Yang Haoran just glanced at them before withdrawing his gaze. Then, he respectfully bowed to the man in black.

"Thank you, divine envoy!"

The man in black nodded, maintaining a serious expression. He scanned Master Wu and the others with a stern look before fixing his gaze on Yang Haoran again, saying, "Handle them. Make it clean. If one more person learns about this matter, I will hold you accountable."

"Rest assured, divine envoy. Since I dare to make a promise to the divine envoy, I will definitely handle this matter well." Yang Haoran responded with a smile.

"I hope you can live up to your words." After saying this, the man in black tore through space. Without looking at Yang Haoran again, he stepped into the spatial rift. Before entering, however, he took Master Jiang along.

Master Jiang looked confused, seemingly unaware of his impending fate. However, before his soul was sucked into the spatial rift, he noticed Yang Haoran smiling at him, even winking, creating a strange feeling in his heart.

Politely seeing off the man in black, Yang Haoran straightened up only after the spatial rift completely closed and returned to normal. A hearty smile appeared on his face.

He first waved his hand, sending the three items in front of him to the place that used to belong to Deng Feng. They landed steadily on a small table. Then, he turned his gaze to Master Wu and the others.
