Chapter 455 The Lucky One

When Ou Yangming returned to the city from the lonely mountain with the goshawk and the big yellow dog, everyone else was relieved.

Nobody asked why he left because as long as the blacksmith master, who could identify parasites, was in the city, they felt assured. If that was not the case, the people would have been frightened and lost their morale because of the parasites.

As soon as Ou Yangming gained a firm foothold on the wall, Yu Jinshuang welcomed him with smiles.

The governor did not pay much attention to Ou Yangming in the beginning as he focused on the princess.

Nonetheless, after knowing that Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk were Ou Yangming’s pet beasts, Yu Jinshuang attached more importance to the young but legendary figure in the smithing industry. When the goshawk even displayed its mightiness by spotting a parasite, the young fellow became more important than Her Highness.

“Master Ou, you’re finally back. We seized the ones that were absent from the previous test, and we’ve been waiting for you to… distinguish them,” Yu Jinshuang expressed impatiently. He glanced at the goshawk in the air but dared not call its name.

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows. “Governor Yu, are they all gathered?”

Yu Jinshuang answered after a moment of hesitation, “Five of them went missing; we couldn’t find them.” His face darkened when he said this.

When the goshawk identified two parasites through its shrieks and eventually got them killed, the spirit insect naturally sensed it and ordered the other parasites to leave the city. It was not going to let the other parasites die just like that.

Therefore, the real identities of the five missing people were somewhat confirmed.

“Governor Ou, if that’s the case, the test won’t be meaningful this time.” Ou Yangming sighed. Given that the previous absentees had gathered, they had a clear conscience.

“Master Ou, I understand too, but the others won’t be at ease unless they’re tested.” Yu Jinshuang smiled bitterly.

“Okay. If that’s the case, let’s go.” Ou Yangming nodded. He waved at the goshawk, which understood him right
