Chapter Thirty-Six: You Deserve to Die

  Inside the quiet classroom.

  Shen Yi tightly grasped the brush, although she was not skilled in calligraphy, she still tried her best to make each character look clearer.

  When I was still a rogue, in order to wear the official uniform, I used to be diligent and studious, learning martial arts, social etiquette, and even reading and writing.

  There is muscle memory, and although the handwriting isnt good-looking, its barely passable.

  The Blood Evil Knife Method is derived from the panel, and all the details are poured into the brain, so its not difficult to write.

  When its time to get off work.

  Shen Yi stopped writing, let the ink dry, and only then did she reach out to take the food Chen Ji had sent over.

  The yellow noodles at Dong Street Huangs, plus the salted fish sold by street vendors carrying poles, may not be delicious, but they are quite affordable.

  After swallowing a few mouthfuls of food, he stood up and exercised his body, pushing open the door and going out.

  Only in the courtyard, Zhang Datou was drenched in sweat, bitterly practicing a set of warm-up boxing moves. The Niu brothers and Chen Ji repeatedly swung their knives, while Zhang Toutu frowned, watching their stances were slightly off, before kicking them over.

  "Is it up to you few flower vases to slay demons and exorcise evil spirits in this vast Baiyun County?"

  Zhang Tutou heard the voice and turned his head, saying inexplicably: "This is also too much, except for that kid with the surname Chen who can barely be looked at, what are all these others?"

  The others had not spoken yet, but Zhang Datou was the first to shout: "Who is willing to get rid of the demon? Isnt it that old clerk who is targeting my familys master, and wont stop until he forces us to death!"

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Butou was slightly stunned, as if he had suddenly understood something. He spat on the ground and cursed: "This group of bastards."

  Many strange things happened in Baiyun County, and he also learned about them from his senior brother after arriving at this place.

  Concealing evil omens is happening everywhere and cant be considered unusual news, just last year more than ten county magistrates were beheaded for this reason.

  But by relying on the hands of monsters, doing things that eliminate dissidents, its simply shameless.

  "Come."

  Shen Yi didnt say much and handed over the knife technique he had copied in his hand.

  You must kill the demon yourself in order to obtain enough demonic lifespan, which is fundamentally at odds with the plan of the yamen.

  Not to mention using rules to suppress people, even if some underhanded tactics are used, its still perfectly normal.

  "So fast."

  Zhang Tutou was slightly surprised, stretched out his hand to take the paper: "What Ive been thinking about is just a body-refining martial art. In Qingzhous many schools, its considered one of the lowest thresholds. As long as you have enough time, theres almost no bottleneck."

  He put away his knife skills: "Be careful not to be impatient and anxious, if you dont understand anything, just come ask me."

  "Thank you."

  Shen Yi nodded and bid farewell to the other party.

  Carrying the fresh meat and ingredients bought by Chen Ji, he left the dormitory.

  "Will he also cook and do chores?" Zhang Tufu scratched his head.

  "If you had seen Lord Shen half a month ago, Chen Ji took a deep breath and continued to stand firmly on the stake, sighing: "You would have found that someone like him would not be surprised at all."

  "Is it?" Zhang Tuhou didnt argue back, he just smiled.

  After all, its just a small county town, and Ive never been to Qingzhou, so how would I know what a real genius looks like?

  In his eyes, Shen Yi was quite good in terms of both character and strength, stronger than himself, but thats all.

  ……

  The sky is like a burning fire.

  Shen Yi knocked on the door and then pushed it open.

  The woman leaned on the table, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, her small white face calm and moving, only her slightly furrowed eyebrows and slightly trembling thick eyelashes showed a few points of unease.

  Shen Yi walked slowly over, looking at the thick stack of yellow paper pressed under the other persons arm, with ink stains on the edges and corners, and also staining some on the other persons lip corner.

  He rather speechlessly pinched the brush and pulled the tip out of Lin Baiweis mouth.

  "My... dont snatch..."

  She gritted her teeth and muttered as she opened her eyes: "Pfft pfft pfft!"

  He immediately looked at the stack of paper with a pang in his heart and quickly reached out to tidy it up: "Half of them have been copied..."

  Before she had even finished speaking, Lin Baiwei noticed something in Shen Yis hand and her face suddenly lit up with joy.

  "Here it is!"

  She took the fresh meat and turned around to rush into the backyard.

  “……”

  Shen Yi looked at the scattered papers on the table and carefully gathered them up.

  Walk into the backyard kitchen.

  Lin Baiwei had tied up her hair and was washing vegetables with ease, waving her hand without looking back: "Get out, get out."

  Feeling unable to get into it, Shen Yi simply sat in the courtyard, picked up an axe and started chopping firewood.

  As the sky gradually darkened, the ground was piled high with neatly arranged firewood of varying lengths.

  The aroma of rice and meat intertwined, piercing into the nostrils.

  Shen Yi turned around, only to see the woman standing behind him, carefully picking up a piece of braised meat with chopsticks and blowing on it to cool it down. With a confident smile on her delicate face, she said, "Hey, open your mouth and try some, see if its salty or not."

  As a lone wolf of two generations.

  He subconsciously leaned back, just about to say something, when the other person quickly picked up a chopstick and put it in their mouth: "..."

  "How is it?" Lin Baiweis face was full of expectation.

  Its not delicious, but unexpectedly its not bad, a bit similar to the big pot dish of my previous life, rough is a bit rough, but it should be very down-to-earth.

  Something.

  Shen Yi dropped the axe in his hand and got up to serve the meat soup.

  "Thats it." Lin Baiwei hummed softly, putting her hands behind her back like a master chef.

  Just then, a loud and fierce kicking sound came from the door.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  "Those with the surname Shen, get out of here!"

  Shen Yis footsteps slowed down, her eyebrows furrowed, and she turned around to walk away.

  Lin Baiwei looked puzzled but didnt ask any more questions and quickly entered the kitchen.

  The next moment, five or six bailiffs burst in through the door.

  Two figures stepped into the room, one in front of the other.

  The former was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a green shirt, with a gloomy face, who was Liu Dianli.

  The thin-headed monk stood behind with his hands hanging down, looking like a bystander enjoying the show.

  While outside the gate, Chen Ji and the others were all being held down by bailiffs with knives pressed against their shoulders, struggling to be pinned against the wall. Zhang Butcher stood far away on the edge of the street, his face gloomy, his massive fists clenched tightly.

  "The imperial court trusts you and has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, letting you take charge of demonic affairs."

  Liu Dians face was furious, his fingers trembling with rage: "For two nights, Baiyun County and three villages in the suburbs have been kidnapped by more than a dozen young children. You are comfortable at home, the whole class is like a snake and mouse nest, knowing but not reporting... I treated you like my own son."

  The old man suddenly opened his mouth, his voice shrill: "You deserve to die!"

  "Our dormitory door is wide open and we havent received any news!" Chen Ji panted heavily, loudly arguing.

  Which family lost a person and didnt rush to look for him? Now that Lord Shens reputation is flourishing, how could they not go find him, but instead went to find Liu Dianli.

  A crisp slap was his response.

  Liu Dians palm was withdrawn: "Still dare to quibble."

  Among the voices, more than twenty strong men came from the street, all holding bows and crossbows, their clothes different from those of the runners, they were actually the citys garrison troops.

  Liu Dian turned sideways and looked at Shen Yi: "If we cant get rid of the demon today, Ill take your head!"
