Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 9: Xing Bu Changing His Name to Xie Chunyan

"Since you are here, why don't you show yourself?"

Lu Zhan felt that the second possibility was more likely, that the other party was not a monster but a human.

If it really is the kind of monster that can restrain the demonic energy so cleanly, its strength must be above the Creation Realm. This kind of monster is extremely rare in Jinling, so there is no reason for him to encounter it.

"Crash..."

As Lu Zhan's voice fell to the ground, there was suddenly a sound of leaves shaking, and a black figure fell from the sky and blocked the little donkey.

Lu Zhan quickly sat up straight and looked towards the figure.

I saw a man in his twenties, wearing black tights, standing in the grass with a knife in his arms. There was an eagle pattern engraved on the knife. This is the logo of the Demon Suppression Bureau, but it is not the Jiangning Demon Suppression Bureau.

I can’t tell the opponent’s strength, but at least he’s stronger than me, so I can’t offend him for now… Lu Zhan quickly made a judgment in his heart.

"Oh, it turns out to be a colleague!" Lu Zhan smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "I wonder if this colleague has any advice for me?"

The colleague suddenly drew out his knife, and changed his stance from facing to standing sideways, lowering his head and saying, "Heh... I heard that it was you who solved the Xu family's case? Are you interested in sparring with me? Let me see the strength of the Jiangning Demon Suppression Division."

"Are you here on behalf of the Qinhuai Demon Suppression Bureau?" Lu Zhan was a little surprised, but felt it was reasonable.

Just imagine, for a mere Xisui Realm case, the Qinhuai Town Demon Bureau had been busy for two days but couldn't find the location of the monster. He came here and spent one night, and he solved the case directly. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Qinhuai Town Demon Bureau?

The colleague snorted coldly, "Oh... Of course not. When traveling in the martial arts world, everyone is responsible for their own actions. I only represent Wei Zhao. What is your strength and what is your profession? Why can't I feel it? Have you already broken through the Mysterious Realm?"

I am just a mother of a man who has undergone marrow cleansing... Lu Zhan muttered, and got another piece of information. The opponent's strength was obviously higher than his, but he could not see through his profession and realm. It must be because of his soul.

However, considering that Xie Chunyan in the Xuanmiao Realm could see through him, Lu Zhan estimated that this man was in the Tufan Realm.

I can kill those in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, but it’s hard to say about those in the Mortal Transformation Realm... Besides, warriors don’t use any gentle force when they attack, and I’m a noble nurse.

Lu Zhan said solemnly: "Wouldn't it be unfair for me to spar with you at this time? When you have cultivated to the Mysterious Realm, come and spar with me. I will be waiting for you in the Jiangning Town Demon Division."

"Heh..." Wei Zhao sneered again, three parts coldness and seven parts disdain.

Just when Lu Zhan thought this guy had seen through him, he saw Wei Zhao raise his head and ask, "What's your name?"

Lu Zhan said in a stern voice, "I will keep my name and surname, Xie Chunyan from Jiangning Demon Suppression Division."

Heh... Brother Chun, you spread rumors everywhere in the company, making all my colleagues think that I was visiting prostitutes at public expense... You have to take this wave of damage, it's worth it.

Wei Zhao sneered again, and his figure disappeared in front of him in an instant, leaving only his voice coming from the wind: "Wait, within half a year at most, I will definitely challenge you to a duel. When the time comes, it doesn't matter whether you live or die, just show your skills!"

“???” Lu Zhan’s mouth twitched. Where did Qin Huai find this non-mainstream person… He just made a few gestures with you and asked you to sign a life and death agreement.

Wei Zhao came and went without a trace. A breeze blew by, and the birds in the woods chirped loudly and crisply.

Is this guy so easy to fool... Lu Zhan was a little surprised, and hurriedly patted the little donkey's butt, asking it to go faster, lest that guy come to his senses and cause trouble for him again.

...

noon.

When we returned to the Demon Bureau in Jiangning Town, it was time for dinner.

Most of the people in the Demon Suppression Bureau are warriors. Practicing martial arts is extremely physically demanding for warriors, so the food is very rich. Lu Zhan took two steamed buns and two dishes, then squeezed in and sat down next to Lao Zhou.

"You're back, kid? Did the case go well this time?" Old Zhou asked vaguely while eating.

Lu Zhan nodded, "It went smoothly. Miss Xu didn't have any serious problems. She was just haunted by a ghost. She was just timid and thin-skinned. She was frightened by Qin Huai's group of demon-suppressing masters, so she refused to cooperate. County Magistrate Xu was generous and gave her ten taels of silver."

Generally, the Demon Suppression Bureau does not charge for its services, except for those who give voluntarily.

However, an official like the county magistrate is normally very stingy because he is afraid that you will suspect him of corruption.

"Of course he is generous. County Magistrate Xu is a son-in-law. The current Mrs. Xu used to be a merchant with a huge fortune. But Mrs. Xu also has the surname Xu, and the distinction has become blurred over time. In fact, County Magistrate Xu is a son-in-law." Old Zhou said from the side.

“No wonder…” Lu Zhan understood instantly. No wonder Madam Xu was so bold. It turned out that Magistrate Xu was marrying into the family.

Although the status of a son-in-law in this era was not as low as Lu Zhan imagined, he was still a son-in-law.

Even though County Magistrate Xu is now the county magistrate, his status as a son-in-law is still there. Psychologically, he will feel inferior to Madam Xu. This is the consequence of being humble for too long. One must never be a son-in-law... Lu Zhan silently remembered this in his heart.

Xie Chunyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Did you run into anyone from the Qinhuai Demon Suppression Division?"

"I didn't meet him." Lu Zhan remained calm and asked, "But I heard that there is a guy named Wei Zhao in Qinhuai who has a strange personality..."

"Wei Zhao?" Xie Chunyan said while chewing a steamed bun, "This kid has a great reputation."

Lu Zhan blinked and said, "Brother Chun, can you elaborate?"

Xie Chunyan chuckled: "This kid is a martial arts fanatic, his brain is not very good."

No wonder… No wonder it feels so non-mainstream. Lu Zhan ate in silence.

Then Xie Chunyan continued, "But it also has something to do with his sister. He has a sister named Chu Wantang. It is said that she realized the method of practicing the Innate Heart Sword when she was seven years old. Now she is sixteen years old and has reached the peak of the Mortal Realm. She is the only disciple of the current Chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau. When everyone brags about this young genius in their spare time, they can't help but gossip about the genius's other family members, and Wei Zhao was dug up."

The Chief of the Demon Suppression Division is the master of the Demon Suppression Division headquarters, in charge of all branches across the world. He is the aunt of the current emperor and also a representative figure of Taoism.

The Grand Master is an extraordinary woman. She has devoted herself to practicing Taoism and has never married. At the age of only forty, she has already reached the peak of the Creation Realm and has a terrifying talent.

I didn’t expect that the Grand Master’s disciple is so amazing… He can condense his own innate skills at such a young age… I’m jealous.

However, Lu Zhan was most concerned about Wei Zhao, as the Grand Master was too far away from him.

"His last name is Wei, and his sister's last name is Chu?" Lu Zhan smelled the scent of melon.

Xie Chunyan lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Because Wei Zhao is the illegitimate son of the chief of Jinling Demon Suppression Bureau, he has no relationship with her on the surface, but in fact his surname is Chu... Ahem, this matter is kept absolutely confidential to the outside world. I also learned about it from my colleagues in Qin Huai. You must not tell anyone. I only told a few of you."

Lu Zhan chewed on a steamed bun with a complicated expression. No matter what happened in the future, he would definitely hide it from this bastard. He was too quick to speak...

However, seeing Xie Chunyan's proud look, Lu Zhan flattered him, "As expected of you, Chun Ge. You even know this."

Xie Chunyan was very pleased with the flattery and said proudly, "Don't offend him. He loves to spar with others, but sparring is supposed to stop at a certain point, but that guy always risks his life. About three years ago, he sparred with a colleague and broke his colleague's leg, and he himself was also seriously injured."

Lu Zhan looked at Xie Chunyan with a little more pity in his eyes: "Brother Chun, he shouldn't be able to beat you, right?"

"Of course." Xie Chunyan touched his chin proudly, and said: "Although he has already reached the peak of the ordinary realm, there is still a huge gap between him and the mysterious realm."

Lu Zhan: “…” What you said had better be true.

But Wei Zhao shouldn't really have such a strange idea... Although he introduced himself as Xie Chunyan, as long as Wei Zhao went to the Xu family to ask, he would know that his name was Lu Zhan, a night doctor.

I don't think he will really challenge Xie Chunyan.

Lu Zhan glanced at Xie Chunyan who was still bragging, then silently lowered his head and ate his steamed bun.
