Tingyang County, Yong'an City.
The slightly mottled city wall is dotted with touches of green.
It is not as majestic as Qingzhou City, but the crowds coming and going are also quite lively.
A carriage mixed in with the crowd, slowly drove into the city and stopped in front of the most prosperous courtyard in the city.
The Deng family has been in charge of Yong'an City for hundreds of years, and no one has ever dared to touch their power.
The only master of the Nascent Soul Realm in the city lives in this courtyard. He protects the entire city from being invaded by demons and has an extremely high status.
At this moment, the young master of the Deng family was waiting at the door, which was rare, without any impatience on his face.
The reason was the graceful girl standing next to him.
"Miss Rou, I have already arranged a courtyard in Chaoyang for your uncle and prepared a welcoming banquet. Is there anything else you need to prepare in advance?"
Deng Mingxu was smiling and looked very elegant.
Hearing this, Lin Rou was a little shy and said gently and helplessly: "Master Deng, there is no need to be so troublesome. Uncle and I can just live in the same courtyard."
Looking at the streak of pink on the fair cheek, Deng Mingxu suddenly felt itchy. After listening to the other party's words, he nodded as if he understood something.
What uncle is this? Most likely he is worried about Miss Rou, so he is the guard sent by her family.
Soon, the carriage stopped and a broad-shouldered figure stepped down first.
Taking in the middle-aged man's honest face and looking at the coarse linen clothes on him, Deng Mingxu became more certain of his guess.
But he did not expose her, instead he greeted her enthusiastically: "Little boy Deng Mingxu, meet your uncle."
Jiang Chengyun clasped his fists and said, "I don't remember where I've seen you before."
"You're joking." Deng Mingxu's smile was a little stiff. He heard the noise in the car again and turned around quickly: "So there's another uncle."
Before he finished speaking, a dignified young man in black got off the carriage and nodded politely at him.
"This, this is also my uncle?"
Deng Mingxu opened his mouth unconsciously, staring at the other person's handsome face, and turned back to look at Lin Rou in astonishment: "Also... also live in the same courtyard?"
Lin Rou was obviously caught off guard.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengyun was already striding towards the gate: "This is my young... one of my juniors. Hurry up and prepare some hot water. We are really going to be very bumpy on the road."
When Deng Mingxu heard the middle-aged man accidentally let the cat out of the bag, he immediately reacted and politely welcomed them into the Deng family.
He even personally led them to his residence, and ordered two servants to boil water. Then he smiled and said, "I have prepared some wine and drinks tonight. I hope you will give me the honor, uncle."
Seeing Jiang Chengyun nod, Deng Mingxu couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
It is true that the Deng family is a prominent family in Yong'an City, but they rely on their ancestor who once had a fortuitous encounter and luckily broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Now that the ancestor is old, the decline of the Deng family is almost a foregone conclusion. Although it is not that tragic, it is almost impossible to maintain the current detached status.
Unexpectedly, I would meet a young lady from a wealthy family in Yushan County.
No matter how well Miss Lin Rou concealed herself, Deng Mingxu could see through her noble aura at a glance. He put in a lot of effort and finally managed to start a conversation with her.
The other party was obviously an inexperienced young girl with a reserved mind. She had just shown some interest and Miss Rou became a little panicked. She actually invited her future brother-in-law to come over, which must be a test for her.
Thinking of the heroic figure of the young man in black shirt, Deng Mingxu suddenly felt a little pale in comparison. In addition to being nervous, he carefully recalled his previous loss of composure and wished he could slap him in the face.
"You guys can chat first, I'll take my leave."
He bowed and prepared to go back and change into another set of clothes. He couldn't lose too much to his brother-in-law.
Wait until Deng Mingxu leaves the courtyard.
"Huh." Lin Rou rolled her eyes quietly and walked into the house and sat down.
Seeing Jiang Chengyun and the strange young man come in, she closed the door and leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs: "Boss Jiang, you owe me a favor, remember to pay it back next time."
"It's better to return it now."
Jiang Chengyun took out a breath of the demon in the middle stage of Jade Liquid and threw it over. Lin Rou took it with a smile, took out a small copper bell and put it in.
After that, he looked at Shen Yi and said, "In the future, if you ask someone to do something for you and you think it's too much trouble to ask them to do it again, you can also use this to express your gratitude."
"Newcomer?"
Hearing this, Lin Rou looked over curiously.
Why do you come to Yong'an City to teach me even the most basic things?
"Yes."
Shen Yi nodded slightly, not missing any opportunity to learn: "What are we going to do next?"
"What else can I do? I finally got this stupid kid from the Deng family to take the bait. I can use his ancestor as bait to lure out the demons." Lin Rou stretched lazily.
Jiang Chengyun twisted his wrist and also found a chair to sit down: "If it is a hunt like last time, there is no way that this only Condensation Realm master will be spared. Otherwise, there is no need to choose Yong'an City. In order to ensure that the news will not leak out and prevent this Condensation Realm master from escaping from here, I asked her to come first to pave the way."
"The demon's target is him. In order to save his life, he can also become my helper."
Shen Yi listened silently and kept all these experiences in mind.
Sure enough, once the attack got out, the people in the imperial court were quite decisive.
If the Deng family's ancestor had been informed in advance and the other party had been prepared, the chance of casualties would have been greatly reduced, but inevitably, many unexpected events would have occurred in the whole matter.
In order to ensure that the achievement is achieved, this ancestor must die in Yong'an City even if he dies.
This is probably the difference between Monster Catcher and Demon Suppression Bureau.
"How many monster hunters have come to the city?" Jiang Chengyun looked to the side again.
"About thirty, most of them are here to take advantage of opportunities." Lin Rou supported her chin with her other hand and stretched out her fingertips: "Some saved the dude's life by chance and then became his brothers. Some delivered food to the kitchen of a noble family. There was also a girl pretending to be an otaku and set her sights on Deng Mingxu, but I got her, hehe."
"In front of a young master like this, acting like a show-off is not as attractive as being a pure-hearted young lady from an aristocratic family."
In just a few words, almost all the forces that could be named in the entire Yong'an City were tied to the fishing hook by the monster hunter.
The most attractive of them is the Deng family.
But anyone who dares to set his eyes on this piece of fat meat must at least have the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Jiang Chengyun quickly guessed it: "Xiao Qiangwei?"
"If she causes trouble for me when we return to Qingzhou City, you have to stand up for me, Boss Jiang." Lin Rou blinked pitifully, then skipped the topic and looked at the young man next to her.
She took out the breath she had just obtained and swirled it around her index finger.
"Little brother, when this is over, are you interested in accompanying your sister to kill a monster?"
"Let's talk about it later."
Shen Yi adjusted his breath and withdrew his gaze without comment.
Compared to a demon in the middle stage of Jade Liquid, he is now more interested in several tiger demons that are about to arrive in Yong'an City.
"Oh, you're quite aloof." Lin Rou was a little surprised.
"I advise you not to recruit him." Jiang Chengyun closed his eyes and rested. Shen Yi had no ability to snatch the demon he wanted to kill. If he really took him away, the demon of this little girl might not still be hers.
