Upon hearing this, Lins family manager felt a chill run down his spine.
The county magistrate invited a master who knew Shen Yi, but how did the young lady bring back an outsider who also knew him?
Theyre all familiar faces, except for that weirdo whos trying to take advantage of the Lin family. Stop ganging up on them!
On the other hand, Chen Jis expression sank slightly.
If he had been seven or eight parts suspicious just now, the young man in blacks words made him completely certain that his opponent was a demon, only wearing a layer of human skin.
No other reason.
The tone of his voice... Chen Jishi was all too familiar, even evoking some unpleasant memories.
In recent years, those demons that entered the city almost all spoke to Shen Yi in this manner, and then they would go on to find fresh meat for them or snatch someones daughter.
As he thought of this, he subconsciously looked around him.
Shen Yis face showed no ripples, as if he hadnt felt offended by the black-shirted youths words.
He stood with his hands hanging down, quietly gazing at Liu Qis body, and after a moment said: "Everyone go out first."
As soon as this was said, the Lin familys steward couldnt help but want to slap himself in the face. What kind of person did he bring back?! Does he think the situation isnt chaotic enough?!
Its one thing for those outsiders to believe the rumors, but Ive been managing the Lin familys affairs for so many years, how could I be so muddled in my thinking.
Dont you see the yamen? Is that a demon-expelling yamen?
Fat Manager turned around and went out, Chen Ji was silent, looked at Shen Yi again, making sure that the other party did not deliberately lower the demon defense, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to give the black-shirted youth a ruthless blow.
He helplessly cupped his hands and said: "Your humble servant takes his leave."
The two walked out of the side room, just in time to see the two thin-headed men standing still in front of them, taking in the angry expression on Guan Shis face, and finally, Xiao Tous complexion improved a lot.
"Look at what I said, after all, still a young man, too proud! Got some unusual encounter, just cant see himself clearly, must lose face completely before retracting."
"Which of us hasnt had a strange encounter, which one isnt a genius, and which one is as foolish as him?"
"A rotten wood cannot be carved!"
Listening to his senior brothers incessant snickering, Zhang Tuhou listlessly squatted down, plucked a blade of green grass and put it in his mouth, and once again returned to his previous gloomy demeanor.
The sarcastic words pierced Chen Jis ears, and he looked at him coldly. Suddenly, he felt that this so-called senior in the Jianghu was completely different from what he had imagined, and even made him feel nauseous.
Shen Daren, despite being in a difficult situation, still went alone to Liulimiao Village and beheaded 13 evil corpses. His reward was only two taels and four mace of silver.
This person has been in Baiyun County for so many days, but hasnt made a move yet. At his age, hes still just a big mouth, petty and narrow-minded. Is it worth paying him 600 taels of silver every month?
"What are you looking at, little thing?"
As if sensing something, the thin-headed monk turned his head around, and his gloomy eyes were extremely cold.
He could tolerate Shen Yi because his opponent was also a transcendent initial-stage martial artist, but when did a small constable dare to look at him with such eyes?
A black long gown automatically, a bony hand with skin like a bag poked out of the sleeve, and five fingers grasped like an eagles claw.
A surging breath instantly enveloped the opponent.
Chen Jis face was deathly pale, his teeth clenched tightly.
Normally, he knew the importance of tolerance and would never dare to stare at the other party, bowing his head to admit his mistake and letting it go.
But at this moment, a nameless evil spirit burst out in his heart.
The palm on the hilt of the knife suddenly exerted force, and the silver blade emerged from its scabbard, dazzling everyones eyes.
"When will it be your turn, a martial artist from the streets, to point fingers and give directions in our official case!"
"Shen Captor heads affairs for the imperial court, what are you, daring to make a racket here? Shut your mouth!"
As soon as this was said, the thin-headed monk was like a thunderbolt, stunned on the spot for half a day without speaking, and only after a long time did he say woodenly: "Good good good, use the imperial court to suppress Lao Fu..."
Lin Guanshi was so frightened that his legs trembled and he unconsciously closed them together.
To know that among these sects, the most taboo thing is to be suppressed by the Demon Subduing Department. Dont look at the thin-headed Taoist who seems to have lost his temper, but in fact, there are already several killings in his words.
This little official will always have a chance to take off his uniform... Cant be thinking that Shen Yi can protect him, right?
Only Zhang Butou squatted on the ground, slightly stunned for a moment, spat out the grass, and opened his mouth to laugh silently.
At the same time, the eyes looking sideways at the door had a few more curious gazes.
Interesting, when facing demons, he never drew his sword, but instead scolded his superior with two sentences, and couldnt help but draw his sword towards the initial stage martial artist. What kind of person can have such prestige in front of their subordinates?
……
Compared with the noise outside, the side house seems so peaceful.
The young man in black lazily swung his wrist and walked to Liu Qis corpse, with a hint of disgust, tore off the remaining half arm, and began to chew it loudly.
"I thought Id have to waste some words again, but its you, which saves my patience. No need for politeness, I understand the rules. From now on, just call me Seventh Master."
Shen Yi looked calmly at the other person eating, with no sadness or joy in her eyes.
In just a few days, he had seen too many similar scenes.
The only turmoil in his heart was also because Liu Qi was a martial artist, and the scene before him was no match for the demons move.
"It wasnt Seventh Grandfather who told you, she had mentioned to me earlier that if theres anything needed, I can look for you. Ive waited for so long, but couldnt wait any longer for you to come, so I took matters into my own hands."
The young man in black shirt was slightly annoyed: "From now on, come over every three days, got it? Dont think Im bothering you too much, I wont be able to stay for a few months."
Shen Yi let everyone else leave just for one question: "Where is she?"
"Whats wrong, Seventh Master cant get through to you, and you need her to tell you in person?" Yin Qiye swallowed a mouthful of blood and flesh, furrowed his brow tightly, and stepped forward towards the other party.
He looked up at Shen Yi, wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth and said impatiently: "Shes been out playing for a long time, go back to Beiyao to see her mother, shell be back in two days. If youre hungry until Seventh Masters belly, dont need her, I can take care of you."
Just then, Yin Qi suddenly found that Shen Yis eyebrows were slightly furrowed... as if she was somewhat disappointed. To be more specific, it was like when he was young and dug a rabbit hole, thinking there would be a big nest, but only one came out.
The next moment, the other party lowered their eyes and looked over.
A thread of coolness gradually rose in those eyes.
For some reason, Master Yin Qi suddenly felt his heart pounding and his muscles tensing up, an instinctive fear that arose when his body sensed danger.
Ever since he stepped into this realm, he had never felt this way again.
“……”
Chen Jis face was numb, and he tightly grasped the knife handle.
A thin, expressionless face stood opposite, with the Lin familys steward sandwiched in between, his face a picture of grief, as if he would like to turn and run at any moment.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion echoed throughout the courtyard!
Crack!
The thick red wooden door burst open in an instant, and amidst the flying wood chips, a black figure flew out, spewing a mouthful of scarlet blood.
Wrapped in a mighty force, it burst forth and shattered the bluestone floor, rolling over several times before exhausting its momentum.
Zhang Tutou slowly stood up, and Lin Guanshi let out a sigh and squatted down with his head in his hands.
Qiu Tou Das whole body trembled slightly as he turned his head, Chen Ji stood stupidly holding a long knife, and several people looked towards the door together.
Behind the broken house door.
Shen Yi adjusted her sleeve cuffs, her expression indifferent, and stepped out with a calm and unhurried demeanor.
