Hearing this, the Lin family's steward suddenly felt uneasy.
It would be fine if the expert invited by the county magistrate knew Shen Yi, but how come the outsider brought back by the young lady also knew him.
They are all acquaintances, there is no point in getting rid of the monster. Let's not team up to eat the Lin family alive.
On the other side, Chen Ji's expression became slightly gloomy.
If he had only a 70% suspicion just now, as soon as the young man in black said this, he was completely sure that the other party was a demon, just wearing a layer of human skin.
There is no other reason.
The other party's tone… was so familiar to Chen Ji that it even brought back some bad memories.
In recent years, almost all the demons that entered the city spoke to Shen Yi in this way, and then the next step was to find fresh meat for them, or rob a girl from a family.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked to his side.
There was no emotion on Shen Yi's face, and he didn't seem to be offended by the words of the young man in black.
He stood with his hands down, staring at Liu Qi's body quietly, and said after a moment: "Everyone go out first."
After hearing this, the manager of the Lin family wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did you bring someone back? You think the situation is not chaotic enough, right?
It would be fine if those idle people outside believed the rumors, but I have been the manager of the Lin family for so many years, how could they still be confused?
Don't you even look at the government office? Is that the government office for exorcising demons?
The fat steward turned around and walked out of the door listlessly. Chen Ji remained silent and glanced at Shen Yi again, making sure that the other party was not deliberately lowering the demon's defense so that he could take the opportunity to give the black-shirted young man a hard blow when he passed by.
He bowed helplessly and said, "I'll take my leave."
The two men walked out of the side room, and just in time, the two thin monks were standing in front of them. Seeing the steward's angry expression, the thin monk's expression finally looked much better.
"Look at what I'm saying. You're still a young man after all, and you're too arrogant! Once you have a little adventure, you lose sight of yourself, and you won't stop until you've lost all your face."
"Who among us, you and I, has not had an adventure? Who among us is not a genius? Who among us is as ungrateful as him?"
"A fool is a fool, and a rotten tree cannot be carved!"
Listening to his senior brother's endless sneering, Zhang the Butcher squatted down with a lack of interest, picked up a piece of green grass and put it in his mouth, and returned to his previous gloomy appearance.
The mocking words penetrated Chen Ji's ears. He looked at him coldly and suddenly felt that this so-called senior in the martial arts world was completely different from what he had imagined, even disgusting.
No matter how useless Lord Shen was, he still went to Liulimiao Village alone and killed thirteen demon corpses for a salary of only two taels and four cents.
This person has been in Baiyun County for so many days, but he has never made a move. He is old but still a chatterbox and petty-minded. Is he worth 600 taels of silver a month?
"Little thing, what are you looking at?"
As if sensing something, the thin monk turned his head, his sinister eyes were extremely cold.
He could tolerate Shen Yi, because he was also a martial artist at the initial stage who had achieved transcendence, but since when had a mere servant dared to look at him with such eyes?
The jet-black gown fluttered in the wind, and his bony hands stretched out from the sleeves, with five fingers clenched like eagle claws.
The surging aura instantly enveloped the other party.
Chen Ji's face was pale and his teeth were clenched.
Under normal circumstances, he knew the importance of forbearance and would never dare to look the other person in the eye. He would just bow his head, admit his mistake and let it go.
But at this moment, a nameless ghost fire rushed out in his heart.
The hand on the hilt of the knife suddenly exerted force, and the silver blade came out of the sheath, attracting everyone's attention.
"When the government is handling a case, when will it be your turn as a martial artist to give orders?"
"Captain Shen is working for the imperial court. Who do you think you are? How dare you make such a fuss here? Shut up!"
When these words came out, the skinny monk was struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze for a long time without saying a word. After a long time, he said woodenly: "Okay, okay, use the court to pressure me..." Manager Lin was so scared that his legs trembled and he clamped them together unconsciously.
You have to know that the most taboo thing for these sects is to be suppressed by the Demon Suppression Division. Even though the thin monk seems to have lost his anger, there is actually a hint of murderous intent in his words.
There will come a time when this little officer will take off his clothes... Does he think Shen Yi can protect him?
Only Zhang the butcher squatted on the ground. After a slight pause, he spat out the grass and opened his mouth to laugh silently.
At the same time, there was a bit more curiosity in his eyes as he looked sideways at the door.
Interesting, interesting. He didn't even draw his sword when facing the demons, but instead just said a few words to his superior, and then couldn't help but draw his sword towards the beginner warrior. What kind of person can have such prestige in front of his subordinates?
...
Compared to the noise outside, the side room seems so peaceful.
The young man in black shirt shook his wrist lazily, walked to Liu Qi's body, tore off the remaining half of his arm with a little disgust, and began to chew it in big mouthfuls.
"I thought I would have to waste some more words, but it turns out it's you. That saved me some patience. No need to be polite. I know the rules. From now on, just call me Seventh Master."
Shen Yi watched the other person eat calmly, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.
In just a few days, he had seen too many similar scenes.
The only ripple in his heart was because Liu Qi was a martial artist, and the scene before him was the result of being unable to defeat the demon.
"I'm not saying anything to you, Master Qi. She told me that she could come to you if she needed anything. I've been waiting for so long, but you never showed up, so I had to do it myself."
The young man in black was a little annoyed: "Come here every three days from now on, do you hear me? Don't complain about it being too often, I can't stay for more than a few months."
The reason why Shen Yi asked the others to leave was just for one question: "Where is she?"
"Why, Master Qi's words are not enough, and she must tell you in person?" Master Yin Qi swallowed flesh and blood with big mouthfuls, frowned tightly, and walked towards the other party.
He looked up at Shen Yi, wiped the meat from the corner of his mouth, and said impatiently: "She has been out for a long time. She will go back to Beiya to see her mother. She will be back in the next two days. If you are hungry, you don't need her. I will take care of her for you."
At this moment, Master Yin Qi suddenly noticed that Shen Yi's eyebrows were slightly frowned... as if he was a little disappointed. To be more specific, it was similar to when he was a child and dug a rabbit hole. He thought there was a big nest, but he only dug out one.
The next moment, the other party lowered his eyes and looked over.
A hint of coolness gradually rose in those eyes.
For some reason, Master Yin Qi suddenly felt his heart pounding and his muscles tensed. It was the instinctive fear that came with encountering a crisis.
He has never experienced this feeling since he entered the initial realm.
"…"
Chen Ji's face was numb and he gripped the knife handle tightly.
The thin monk stood opposite with an expressionless face. The steward of the Lin family was stuck in the middle, with a tearful look on his face, and he wanted to run away.
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded throughout the courtyard!
Crack!
The thick mahogany door exploded in an instant. Amidst the wood chips, a black figure flew out, spraying scarlet blood.
Suppressed by the huge force, the bluestone floor was smashed and cracked. It rolled several times before releasing all the force.
Butcher Zhang stood up slowly, and Manager Lin groaned and squatted down with his head in his hands.
The thin monk trembled slightly and turned his head. Chen Ji held the long knife in a daze, and several people looked towards the door.
Behind the broken door.
Shen Yi adjusted his cuffs, looking indifferent, and stepped out calmly.
