Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

"Furthermore, the Jade Realm Gate has long been closed, and Liuyun Ferry evacuated all civilians last night."

"There could be no foreigners traveling here."

"Tell me, were you helping Rakshasa sell fake Jiba?"

Dan Heng's expression froze; he suddenly understood Luo Sha's feelings at that moment.

Was Mr. Rakshasa not angry because he had a very good temper and self-control?

Or is he actually selling...that thing to the people of Xianzhou?

Gui Naifen silently distanced herself from Dan Heng, Luo Sha, and Su Jinyan.

For some reason, Gui Naifen suddenly felt that the Luofu Immortal Ship was full of danger. Why were there so many perverts everywhere?

Su Chang took the initiative to explain for Dan Heng: "Oh, a quiet person isn't a bad person."

“He works for the Starry Sky Train. He told me himself.”

Su Jinyan still refused to believe it: "I'm sorry, Su Chang, there's no evidence."

"I cannot believe the words of a stranger."

"Danheng, you really must be from the Star Train."

"Just come with me to Yichen Inn later and meet the distinguished guests of the Starry Sky Train, and you'll know the truth."

Dan Heng, sparing with words, simply replied: "Okay."

Su Jinyan glanced at Luocha: "Mr. Luocha, you are too."

"If you want to prove your innocence, why don't you open the coffin you're carrying in front of everyone and let them see it?"

"If I am wrong, I will apologize to you."

Rakshasa said calmly, "Sir, your actions are somewhat disrespectful to people from other lands."

"When did the laws and regulations of the Immortal Ship stipulate that any non-human being must cooperate if the Divine Strategy Bureau suspects them of being a non-human being?"

"Since you come from the Shence Prefecture, why don't we wait until you obtain a search warrant from the Shence Prefecture before opening the coffin for inspection?"

Rakshasa acts with integrity and has a clear conscience.

The way Ke Danheng looked at him had already subtly changed.

If you are innocent, you can simply open the coffin and make him apologize. Why go through all this trouble?

You don't actually run that kind of business, do you?

Su Jinyan laughed: "Look, a Rakshasa."

"If you have a clear conscience, why don't you even dare to open your coffin and let everyone take a look?"

No matter how much Su Jinyan mocked her, Luocha remained steadfast in her opinion—to obtain a search warrant before opening the coffin.

Su Jinyan's face darkened: "Very well, then don't blame me for taking action."

Rakshasa slowly gripped the hilt of the rapier, her expression calm.

"Sir, this is quite domineering. Is this how the Shence Prefecture treats outsiders?"

“I am but a merchant from out of town who came to Luofu only for business, yet I have to suffer such slander.”

"If word gets out about this today, I wonder how many people outside the realm will be disappointed in Luofu."

Rakshasa's words were enough to deter any member of the Shence Palace from taking any rash action.

Discrimination against and slander of foreigners, in serious cases, can lead to an investigation by the Ministry of Justice.

However, Su Jinyan was not among them.

I'm sorry, but even if the judge of the Ten Kings' Court came today, she would have to support my decision.

The more Rakshasa acts this way, the more it proves that there is something shameful hidden in his coffin.

Su Jinyan took a step forward, about to make a move, when Su Chang blocked his way.

"We cannot take action against non-civilized people without sufficient evidence."

Su Chang's expression was very serious as she slowly shook her head.

Rakshasa sighed softly: "Miss Sushang, there's no need to stop your friend for my sake."

"I am just a stranger and I do not wish to see you develop a rift with each other."

Su Chang looked at him, puzzled: "No, I'm just afraid that you'll spread the word afterward and affect his career."

Rakshasa: “?”

Su Chang said seriously, "You don't think I'm stupid, do you?"

Gui Naifen also showed a look of agreement: "Shangshang is a little slow, but she's not stupid."

Rakshasa: "..."

The answer to this question becomes clear once you think about it more deeply.

On one side are heroes honored by the Shence Prefecture and the Ten Kings Division, and on the other side are merchants from outside the Great Wall with questionable identities.

Let alone Su Chang, anyone else would choose to believe Su Jinyan rather than Luocha.

However, Su Jinyan had no evidence and no search warrant, so making a big fuss could easily affect his career in Luofu.

The two sides are now deadlocked. Rakshasa is unwilling to let Su Jinyan open the coffin for inspection, but she cannot rashly escape.

Su Jinyan shook his head slightly: "Rakshasa, the more you act like this, the more guilty you seem."

Honestly, it would be very easy for Rakshasa to escape unscathed in front of these people.

But if he were to leave rashly, it would be an admission of guilt, an indirect confession to his crime of selling fake gibbons.

When the Shence Prefecture posts a notice saying that he, Rakshasa, is guilty, he will be unable to defend himself and will not be able to clear his name even if he jumps into the Star Chariot Sea.

If the Shence Prefecture or the Ten Kings Division were to issue a wanted notice for him on the grounds that the Rakshasa was the Medicine Master's evil offspring.

Rakshasa accepted it, since his power truly originated from the Abundant Medicine Master.

But this one ridiculous reason is something that Rakshasa absolutely refuses to admit.

Thinking of this, Rakshasa's eyes darkened, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"If this gentleman insists on opening the coffin for inspection, it is not impossible."

"Miss Su Chang, Brother Dan Heng, could you two be my witnesses?"

"Of all the people here, you are the ones I trust the most."

Danheng nodded slightly in agreement.

Su Chang readily agreed, "No problem, I'll take care of it."

Rakshasa said in a deep voice, "I am a commoner from beyond the borders, and I have come to the Immortal Ship only to do business."

"The coffin does not contain any filth as you described."

"If you are wrong, sir, you must not only apologize to me publicly."

"You will also be relieved of all your posts and asked to resign from your post as general."

Su Jinyan replied indifferently, "Okay."

There must be something fishy about Rakshasa's sudden change of mind.

Perhaps he's setting a trap step by step, waiting for me to fall into it.

When the coffin is opened for inspection, what if it turns out to be completely empty?

Or if it contains only normal utensils, then he will undoubtedly keep his promise.

However, Su Jinyan was not afraid.

Once the coffin is opened, whether there are any suspicious items inside is no longer up to you, Rakshasa.

Gui Naifen had a sudden inspiration and said urgently, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."

"Mr. Rakshasa, let me introduce myself. I am Gui Naifen, and I usually perform street stunts in Changletian."

"My part-time job is as a live streamer."

Luocha nodded in acknowledgment: "Hello, Miss Gui Naifen."

Gui Naifen asked shyly, "Could I do a live stream?"

"I'd like to take this opportunity to gain some traffic; I wonder if you two agree?"

Rakshasa chuckled and said, "I have no objection to it."

"However, Mr. Su Jinyan is a public official of the Shence Prefecture."

"If something goes wrong, it could affect his reputation and the image of the Shence Palace, right?"

Su Chang nodded in agreement: "That's right, Xiao Gui Zi, you can't just piggyback on any kind of traffic."

"If you really bring negative impact to the Shence Mansion, your account will be gone."

Gui Naifen hesitated for a moment: "Oh, I see. Then I—"

Su Jinyan's expression was firm as he waved his hand and said, "It's alright, since Mr. Rakshasa believes he is innocent."
