Shen Yi finished asking and continued to gaze at him calmly.

  To the point where Xiao Tuo was momentarily stunned and almost thought that the other party really wanted an "answer".

  A moment later, furious anger surged from his heart.

  His eyes were sinister and his breathing was rapid. Since he arrived in Baiyun County that day, no one had ever dared to provoke him like this.

  The skinny monks five fingers clenched tightly, his fingernails piercing painfully into his palm.

  Would love to slap open the opponents skull with all his might.

  But for some reason, under the others calm and peaceful gaze, he inexplicably felt a little flustered, his palms also unable to lift up in time. Could it be that he had become too comfortable in the manor and lost his fighting spirit?

  No, its just unnecessary and unwise to argue with a dead person.

  Offended the Northern Cliff Fox Spirit, where would the other party have a way out, why bother taking action personally.

  Thinking of this, the thin monk squeezed out a cold smile, only with a few less parts of momentum: "As expected, Shen is more powerful than the county magistrate, its old man who doesnt know the courtesy."

  At the words, Shen Yi nodded and turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned back with a hint of concern: "Youre getting old, dont always smile crookedly like that, its easy to get facial paralysis."

  "Hmm..."

  The thin monk subconsciously adjusted the corners of his mouth, and immediately his eyelids began to twitch violently.

  As he watched his opponent walk away slowly in the distance, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat and a hint of sweetness in his mouth.

  Zhang Tutou walked up to his senior brothers side, gave him a slightly pitiful glance, and then stepped away from the Lin family.

  "Who would have thought that such a ferocious tiger demon was hiding in our home!"

  Mr. Lin, who had arrived late, widened his eyes and watched as Chen Ji tied the huge tiger corpse onto the board cart.

  He took another glance at the thin monk who remained on the spot, smiled and accompanied him with a slight bow of his head, then quickly followed Shen Yi.

  "Lord Shen, wait!"

  His slender body plus the gorgeous and complicated clothes made him unable to run, he could only shout repeatedly.

  Shen Yis footsteps halted in confusion.

  "I have come to apologize for what happened earlier."

  Mr. Lin bowed his head in shame, rubbing his knees and muttered: "You saved my daughter, but I suspected that you colluded with the demon to harm my daughter, making her lose her memory... So, letting her come back home was also to swindle some money to gamble and have fun..."

  Upon hearing this, Shen Yis expression became slightly stiff.

  "Its because Im a businessman that people look down on me." Mr. Lin sighed with regret, but didnt notice Shen Yi quietly turning her head to look elsewhere.

  "Youre a good person, Bai Wei has been blinded by the evil spirits. If it werent for Lord Shen today, Im afraid my Lin family would have been eaten clean by that tiger demon."

  “……”

  At the mention of this name, Shen Yi fell silent again.

  Among the many troubles left by his predecessor, this was the most deadly one.

  Either behead the fox demon and kill it to silence it.

  Either get rid of Lin Baiwei once and for all, or join forces with Beiyao Huoyou from now on.

  There is hardly a third way out.

  The swift and decisive slash not only beheaded the tiger demon but also cut off his own retreat.

  Shen Yi thought he was just an ordinary person, and would also be worried about gains and losses.

  Why not be straightforward and act as you wish? Why must you dawdle like an unweaned child, unable to let go of this or that?

  "Theres no need for that, just eat the imperial salary and do your job, its only natural."

  Shen Yi gathered her thoughts and watched as Chen Ji pulled a cart over, lightly nodding to bid farewell to Old Man Lin.

  "Its only natural..." Old Master Lin nodded in agreement, but the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of irony. What a wonderful "its only natural" indeed! If that were truly the case, then why didnt he see the thin-headed Tao acting naturally and taking care of things with all the silver he had provided to the county magistrate?

  "Mr. Shen, why dont we wait for Bai Wei to return and Ill invite you over for tea? She also used to study martial arts with a master, so she has some knowledge of it too. You two are about the same age, there should be plenty to talk about."

  At these words, Chen Ji subconsciously furrowed his brow.

  In Baiyun County, who doesnt know that Lins family has a beautiful daughter like a heavenly fairy? I dont know how many good boys have been drooling over her. Compared to her, my own sister is also a young and lovely jade, but in terms of family background and knowledge, she is far inferior.

  Wait... why compare me with Lins sister?

  Chen Ji patted his forehead and besides, with Lord Shens current martial arts skills, he might not even look down on that kind of woman who had been in contact with demons.

  "Whats wrong?" Mr. Lin looked over cautiously.

  Shen Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the dagger at his waist, saying in a soft voice: "Alright."

  Having received a positive response, Mr. Lin was overjoyed and although the other partys expression was a bit strange, they were all young people after all, maybe with more interaction, something would come of it!

  Chen Ji rolled his eyes, and indeed, even if everything else changed, Magistrate Shens restless heart would not change.

  Just then, the fat steward, who had changed into clean clothes, struggled to carry a large silk bag and put it on the cart with a grunt.

  Chen Jiguang knew what was inside just by listening to the sound.

  Judging from the amplitude of the swaying board, its at least 800 taels. Converted to a yamen runners salary, thats almost thirty years worth.

  "Whatever you do, dont decline. If you wont accept it, I really cant get past this hurdle in my heart. Moreover, the silver for slaying demons has been tacitly approved by the imperial court."

  Mr. Lin bowed repeatedly.

  "I know you like to have fun, copper coins are not convenient enough and precious notes are not stylish enough, so I prepared silver for you." The fat manager smiled and took credit.

  Shen Yi walked to the front of the cart, lifted the silk cloth cover, and looked at the glittering silver inside. A faint, almost imperceptible glint of jealousy flashed across his calm eyes.

  Dog owners! They should really find a street lamp for these people to hang on.

  Two pancakes with eggs cost only ten cents, this silver is enough to wrap the whole family of small vendors in pancakes.

  "Its indeed said that way." Chen Ji also sighed, others just casually wrote a sum of money, relying on himself to save for his sisters dowry for a lifetime would not be enough.

  Shen Yi casually rummaged through them and picked out two silver ingots weighing ten taels each, tossing one to Chen Ji: "Just take these."

  Cant just help Lins family raise their daughter for free, still have to pay some living expenses.

  Push down the remaining planks.

  Without giving others a chance to speak, Shen Yi stepped out of Lins residence, leaving Old Master Lin standing there in shock.

  Chen Ji held the silver ingot in surprise, then pulled the cart and hurriedly followed.

  "Mr. Shen."

  As he walked onto the street, Chen Ji finally thought of asking about what had just happened.

  He really didnt expect that the other party would turn against him so easily.

  "Think before you act, your life wasnt picked up from somewhere."

  Shen Yi stretched his waist and walked towards the tavern on the street, staring at the wooden plaques on the wall: "A pot of Huajiu, roasted goose leg, want the left leg, and steam a fish..."

  Watching him order food from behind, Chen Ji rubbed his little belly.

  Mr. Shen said that it sounds like the other persons life was picked up... Even if it was picked up, why bother to take the lead for someone who has nothing to do with him.

  They even invited me out for dinner.

  Until Shen Yi carried the clay pot and lotus leaf package away, Chen Ji slightly opened his mouth, puzzled: "Arent we eating here?"

  "Who scolded you."

  Shen Yi turned around with a strange expression: "Think about eating what you bought yourself."

  Do you know what it means by separating public and private matters?

  In January, I owed two taels of silver, and also invited you to dinner. Youre welcome to fart, thats about it.

  “……”

  Chen Ji took out ten taels of silver and looked at the silver, then looked at the other person, with a thousand emotions in his heart.

  "What a weirdo."
