Shen Yis greatest regret was that he couldnt drag someones great banner and behead a few more monsters.

  Of course, this cant be said directly.

  He took off the scabbard and repositioned the sword under his arm, although it was a bit cramped, it was still better than having his head chopped off without even realizing it.

  Seeing his cautious appearance, Lin Baiwei pursed her red lips.

  If I had been more careful from the start, I wouldnt have ended up like this today.

  She went to the cabinet to get paper and pen, came to sit down at the table, and added some oil to the lamp.

  Under the flickering lamplight, she closed her eyes and ground the ink while reminiscing.

  After a moment, Lin Baiwei began to write seriously. Under the movement of her slender fingers, small and beautiful characters appeared on the paper.

  "Whats wrong, cant sleep?" Shen Yi turned her head back.

  "Cant get what you want, can you sleep well?" Lin Baiwei retorted.

  They are just ordinary people with their heads tied to their waistbands, pretending to be calm.

  She still remembered the first time she was choked by a demon, almost suffocating, and even though her colleagues quickly beheaded it, she was still frightened all night.

  If someone had been by her side at that time, she wouldnt have woken up in the middle of the night crying from a nightmare.

  “……”

  Shen Yi fell silent for a long time and closed her eyes.

  When the rooster crowed, he slowly got up and glanced at the woman yawning beside the table.

  Still cant get used to it... Even though he knew she was from the Demon-Slaying Department, Shen Yi still couldnt get accustomed to having a living person in clothes beside him when sleeping.

  "Uh-huh, Ive copied half of it."

  Lin Baiwei rubbed her wrist and examined it carefully: "Dont mind the slowness, this kind of thing, if theres even a slight mistake, will lead to big problems."

  Shen Yi changed into clean clothes and nodded: "Thanks for your hard work."

  "Huh." Lin Baiwei feigned surprise: "So you can speak properly after all."

  "After all, I was counting on taking you to the Lins house to exchange for some silver, you know, Im really short of money."

  Shen Yi adjusted his sleeve cuffs and walked out of the door with his sword at his side.

  Baiyun County is not big, and many things can spread in just one night.

  It was still early, but a crowd of people had already gathered outside the dormitory building, making a racket and squeezing the entrance so that it was impossible to get through.

  Someone shouted: "Shen Captured Head is here!"

  Shen Yi suddenly saw an extra wide and spacious small road in front of him, he looked ahead in confusion, only to see Chen Ji and the others were all anxious with their faces flushed red.

  "Im telling you again, we only deal with demons and monsters here, not thieves, and were certainly not responsible for helping you find your lost purse!"

  "Nonsense! The wife of Old Yangs family brought her husband back home, and it was those two tall men who went to catch them! I saw it with my own eyes!"

  The crowd suddenly buzzed: "Maybe my purse was also taken away by the demon, Lord Shen, you must do something about it for me."

  “……”

  Shen Yi silently entered the courtyard and waved her hand, saying: "Close the door."

  Several people used force to press down on the wooden door and finally managed to pull down the bolt, exhaustedly sitting on the ground staring at each other.

  "Damn it! In the past, they all avoided me, now theyre coming to crash into my office!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly smiled at Shen Yi: "You are my father, you are my dear old man."

  Chen Ji smiled and stood up, but suddenly his expression changed slightly, and he looked towards the wooden door behind him.

  The next moment, the wooden door was knocked with a loud bang.

  "Even kicked in the face."

  The Niu brothers rolled up their sleeves, opened the door with momentum, and were about to scold, but suddenly trembled all over, shocked and raised their heads.

  The two of them were already considered big and strong men, but the newcomer was not only a head taller than the two of them, his body was also incredibly robust, especially that swollen and greasy belly, which looked truly frightening.

  With just this physique, you can easily knock down a few people without even practicing martial arts.

  The Niu brothers had never seen such a ruthless person before. They trembled and retreated two steps: "Boss, someone... someone is looking for trouble."

  Chen Jis face was solemn and he stood still, not daring to move lightly.

  He couldnt understand why the master of Jin Gang Men would come to this small yamen, if there was something he couldnt handle, then perhaps no one else in Bai Yun County could either.

  "Its daytime and the door is closed, I thought I walked into the wrong place."

  Zhang Tutou sucked on a grass root and smiled towards the opposite side: "Youre really here."

  Shen Yi didnt see Luotou Tuos figure behind him, and cupped his hands: "Senior, what brings you here?"

  "What elder, crap."

  Zhang Tutou squeezed into the courtyard and responded calmly: "I came from Qingzhou at someones invitation, but now Im being rejected for being too foolish. It just so happens that I also cant stand his cleverness. After thinking about it, youre actually as foolish as me, thinking of coming to mix a meal."

  When he heard this, Chen Ji almost lost his footing.

  A master with a proper lineage and high skills in the initial stage cant even afford food, its utterly absurd.

  No need to say more, as long as the other party makes an offer, many wealthy merchants would be willing to spend money to worship them as ancestors in the current situation of Baiyun County.

  The total salary of over a hundred runners in the yamen would not be enough to pay for half a months entertainment for the other side.

  "Firstly, I am not foolish."

  Shen Yi helplessly raised her eyes and immediately spread out her hands: "And very poor."

  "Im no fool either." Zhang Tuhou burst out laughing and walked straight inside: "Similarly, being poor is just a matter of clinking coins, having coarse tea and plain rice to fill the belly is enough."

  Shen Yi was just about to explain that he might not even be able to afford a simple meal, after all, the other persons stomach wasnt ordinary.

  Chen Ji was so anxious that he stamped his feet impatiently.

  What kind of brains do they have? One leaves the real gold and silver untouched, while the other watches as a master is delivered to their doorstep, yet they still think of excuses to push it away!

  He pulled out a silver ingot from his waist and forced it into Shen Yis hand, his eyes almost squeezed shut.

  Shen Yi glanced at Chen Ji and pushed him away: "Go play elsewhere."

  Do I look like Im very stingy?

  "Who is this?"

  The Niu brothers may not know, but Zhang Datou is well aware of Chen Jis character. Every months salary is hard-earned and he doesnt even spare half a cent to spend recklessly, all saved for his sister. How come hes suddenly so generous?

  "The younger brother of the county magistrate."

  As soon as this was said, several peoples minds went blank instantly.

  To them, the thin monk was just a figure who existed in rumors. At least they had to be at the level of Liu Dian Li, and then they would have the opportunity to see his true face, but only that.

  Nowadays, a master of the same level has appeared in his own classroom, and even played with the stone lock that he hadnt touched for many years with great interest.

  A mere stone lock for show, weighing only a few hundred catties, the opponent can lift it with one palm and play around with it...

  "Do you usually practice with this?"

  Zhang Tutou asked curiously.

  "No, I usually practice martial arts before going to sleep."

  Shen Yis expression remained unchanged as he replied.

  What he said is also true, after all, always performing martial arts on the street, its easy to be taken as a fool by others.

  "The matter of practicing martial arts, the most taboo is to study in isolation. Ive been feeling anxious and disordered staying alone in Baiyun County, lets exchange moves when we have time?" Zhang Butou put down his stone lock.

  "No problem." Shen Yi nodded, it just so happened that she also needed someones help to brush up on some relevant common sense.

  Upon hearing this, Zhangs face suddenly lit up with a smile: "Im free right now."

  Shen Yi: "......"

  "Trouble, just as I thought. Hes here to pick a fight." Niu Jia brothers shook his clever head, almost being fooled by this big beard.
