"Gentlemen, you have come from afar from Yushan County, I don't know if your accommodations are still getting used to?"
Deng Jianyuan stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at the three people in the courtyard: "If you can't get used to living here, why not go to my place and let me fulfill my duties as a host."
Upon hearing this, Deng Mingxu had originally been silently complaining in his heart that Lao Zu was too aloof, which led to Lin Rou feeling neglected yesterday and also implicated himself.
Overjoyed beyond measure.
The old ancestor is going to take the initiative to help himself settle the marriage!
Jiang Chengyun looked over with some surprise and nodded after a moment: "Thank you for your hospitality."
Deng Jianyuan smiled slightly, his eyes scanning over the three people without stopping on any of them.
As if he didn't know Shen Yi at all, he dismissed the crowd of family members and turned around to walk towards the depths of the large courtyard.
Arrived at the destination.
Jiang Chengyun finally understood where the discomfort in his heart came from.
All I saw was a red-shirted figure standing in the courtyard.
Xiao Xiangwei played with a string of jade stone pendant, probably feeling bored, and casually threw it on the stone table.
"Please go ahead."
Leaving a sentence behind, Deng Jianyuan walked silently into the house and slowly closed the door.
Only three familiar people stared at each other with wide eyes.
Shen Yi sat on the edge of the flower bed, took out a black knife and placed it on her knees, gently stroking the golden pattern on it.
"Going out to handle things and bringing so many young people along, can you take care of them?"
Xiao Xiangwei's face had lost its yesterday's wind and dust, with a few more points of ridicule.
Lin Rou stretched out her hand: "Xiao Jie, I'm just passing by."
In a small courtyard, two silver bell catchers gathered together, making it hard for people to relax.
As she thought of this, she turned her gaze to Shen Yi in the distance.
They are all young people, and their opponent's experience is even shallower than theirs, so why do they look so calm?
"It's better than you running to a brothel to hook up with old men."
Jiang Chengyun obviously didn't have the heart to argue, so he found a room and slammed the door shut.
Xiao Qiangwei coldly laughed and lost interest in talking to the remaining two younger ones, similarly turning around and going back into the house.
Bang.
In this tense atmosphere, Shen Yi raised her eyes and looked towards the room that belonged to Deng family's ancestor.
A speculation previously raised on the road has now surged up again in my mind... Where did this news come from?
Let's put ourselves in their shoes. If it were our own child, we would just scold them at home and that's it. Do we need to make a big show of it outside?
Unfortunately, being new here, let alone Jiang Chengyuan and Xiao Zhan, even a ordinary demon catcher like Lin Rou wouldn't take his words to heart.
Just as they say on the road, even if it's fake, they will never let go.
As the head of the Deng family in Yong'an City, would he know some things that even the demon catchers aren't aware of?
I recall yesterday, the old man's abrupt and awkward manner of entrusting his last words.
Perhaps it's not because he has a special opinion about himself, but Jiang Chengyuan and Xiao Xiangyu are too strong, he can't keep up with them, and he doesn't want to make the Deng family anxious.
Just in time, there was a dish of meat without wine, and the old man happened to come over.
If it is so.
The whole thing seemed very off.
Knowing that two great masters are assisting him, the old man is not a young man who has just started his career, why did he become timid before the battle and even had the intention of dying early?
At this point, Shen Yi fell silent and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
Originally I wanted to but didn't have the chance, so I just followed along to learn a bit, convenient for doing things in the future, now it seems... not necessarily.
……
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and it's already nightfall again.
Deng Jianyuan never left his house again from that day on.
Jiang Chengyun and Xiao Qianwei did not relax their vigilance either, still staring at him like a thief.
The courtiers naturally distrust the martial artists from the jianghu, which is also their way of survival summarized with countless lives.
Lin Rouming was visibly bored and found Shen Yi to chat with several times, but discovered that the other party seemed not to be like herself, a pure onlooker.
"Hey, why don't we just leave first? Anyway, they won't give us any credit."
“……”
Shen Yi had yet to respond when the silver bell at his waist suddenly began to shake violently.
A breath of air pierced his ear.
There is nothing inside.
At the same time, Jiang Chengyun and Xiao Manxi suddenly pushed open the door, their faces slightly changed, with a few points of excitement.
About three breaths later, a second message came from the silver bell.
This time there was finally a sound, but it was somewhat vague and unclear, like the saliva hadn't been swallowed yet, and the voice was extremely faint.
"Mountain Lord..."
Before he had finished speaking, Deng Jianyuan finally pushed open the door and walked out slowly.
The old man's face was calm and serene, staring quietly at Jiang Chengyun.
"Hmm."
He shook his head and suddenly took a step forward, his figure flying like a swallow, without concealing the aura on his body, and instantly landed in the main hall.
Two silver bell spirit catchers followed closely behind.
The sudden movement of Lao Zu obviously startled the Deng family, and the crowd surged out from all directions, gathering in the main hall.
Lin Rou looked at the small bell in her hand with a solemn expression.
It's not that I care about the death of a colleague, after all, such things are too common, but I didn't expect that the big demon who had already become as powerful as a condensed dan, would dare to take the risk of being pursued by General You of Tingyang County and venture into Yong'an City.
It seems she thought of something, and with a look of surprise, she raised her head: "Oh no! This is a breakthrough imminent, wanting to swallow a few more human-sized pills, become a Dan realm demon king!"
What a load of crap, this is clearly a feast prepared by itself for its own trial.
"What a close call."
Lin Rou patted her chest, feeling a chill run down her spine: "Luckily it was Xiao Jie and Jiang Lao Da who came. If two ordinary Condensing Dan cultivators had come instead, today would have been a real disaster."
She subconsciously looked aside, but found that the young man in a black shirt who had been sitting there all along was now nowhere to be seen.
Deng Xiaoping's former residence.
A crowd of bewildered family members huddled together, staring at the old ancestor who had not taken action for many years.
Only "Lin Family Guardians" and the old master's brought back "Huakui" were seen, at this moment one on the left and one on the right blocked him in the middle.
Jiang Chengyun furrowed his brow and ordered: "Follow me."
If it's against Shan Jun, then no assistance can be spared.
This old man may not have detailed information, but with the advantage of being a local snake, he should have guessed something. The demon catcher is afraid that he will run away, and he is also afraid that the demon catcher will be scared away in advance.
Their minds collided together.
"Not going, not going."
Deng Jianyuan smiled slyly, like a mischievous child: "The old man must first protect his family members, and even if the imperial court comes, they won't be able to find any fault."
Just as the two of them were about to change their expressions, he suddenly changed his tone and said: "Unless you find someone to help me keep an eye on them... or else it's him!"
Deng Jianyuan pointed into the crowd.
Shen Yi grasped the scabbard and stood quietly inside the house.
Unexpectedly, before Jiang Chengyun, it was Xiao Xingyi who sent a message through the silver bell: "Don't bother with him, after we leave, if you encounter danger, do as you please."
Demon hunters are not part of the Demon-Slaying Department and do not have the responsibility of protecting a region.
"Go."
Jiang Chengyun no longer hesitated and dragged Deng Jianyuan out of the Deng family's large courtyard.
A big demon as round and perfect as a dan fruit is far more attractive than several tiger cubs.
When the three of them vanished into thin air, the remaining Deng family members finally came back to their senses. Deng Mingxu looked at Lin Rou who was rushing towards him from afar and hastily went up to meet her: "Miss Rou, what's going on?"
Lin Rou helplessly shook off his hand: "What's wrong? The demon is coming to eat you guys."
Two silver bells captured the demon, and both went to deal with Mountain Lord. Three tiger cubs are left, but if one of them has a Condensed Dan boundary, wouldn't it be easy to hunt down the demon catchers in this city and the Jianghu martial artists?
If you don't leave now, when will you?
She hastily waved her hand at the dazed young man: "Withdraw first!"
Deng family's old ancestor is not around, only a dozen or so Yu Ye Jing Wu Fu are left, they will inevitably become the target of the young tiger.
In the midst of the noise, Shen Yi seemed to have not heard anything, walked up to the main seat, casually patted his clothes and sat down, placing the black scabbard on the table, with his palm gently pressing down.
Xiao Xiangwei's reminder was actually unnecessary, Deng Jia Laozu wasn't a fool, didn't he know that after he left, the vast Deng family wouldn't be able to keep anyone for themselves, probably just didn't want to get involved in the big demon's affairs.
It's also a personal favor, if you're willing to take a few for him, it's better than running away directly.
"This group of people doesn't have a single true word."
Shan Jun released the news ahead of time and wanted to break through with the precious medicine of human body.
The demon catcher uses his noble family as bait, wanting to catch a demon and take it back to exchange for merits.
Deng Jianyuan made up his mind to die, and left behind a plan to capture the demon catcher to guard the city for him...
I'm still relatively simple-minded.
Simply just want to kill demons.
