Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

The big demon stared at him with its red eyes as if looking at an insect, which made his back chill. A big demon of Zhu Yan's level was completely useless to the demon catcher. He could be crushed to death with just a slight movement of his fingers.

Wu Yan became frightened and left with his men.

Nanzhi turned around and saw Zhu Yan standing behind her with a handsome smile on his face.

Before she could say anything, Zhuo Yichen, Wen Xiao, a woman with a cool and heroic face who was as brave as a man, and a little brother with a bell and a handsome face ran out from the main gate of the Monster Hunting Bureau!

"Zhao Yuanzhou! What did you intend to do by leaving so suddenly..."

The scolding words were stuck on his lips. Zhuo Yichen stopped, looked at Zhu Yan and then at Nanzhi, not quite sure what to say.

When he saw Nanzhi's eyes, he knew that he had lied to her yesterday and she already knew the truth.

"Nanzhi?" Wen Xiao pulled Nanzhi closer, her pure, gentle, and divine face filled with a happy smile. "Is there something that brings you to the Demon Hunting Division so early?"

"Yes." Nanzhi looked at Zhuo Yichen and pleaded with him, "I want to be an extra-staff member of the Monster Hunting Team."

The Demon Hunting Bureau has many records of the Great Wilderness, and she wants to find a way to eliminate the evil spirit.

"How did you know we formed a demon hunting team?"

"No!"

Wen Xiao's curiosity and Zhuo Yichen's rejection sounded at the same time.

Wen Xiao looked at Zhuo Yichen, then at Nanzhi, who looked serious and determined.

Pei Sijing and Bai Jiu, who were one step behind Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao, looked at each other and then looked away.

Realizing his bad attitude, Zhuo Yichen explained to Nanzhi, "The Monster Hunting Division faces dangerous cases and dangerous monsters. Nanzhi, I don't want you to take any risks."

Zhu Yan raised an eyebrow: "For example?"

Zhuo Yichen shot him a cold look: "You."

"Let's go inside and talk if you have anything to say." Wen Xiao tried to calm down and took Nanzhi's hand. "Qiu Jingzhai just delivered some lotus cakes this morning. Let's go in and have some."

Nanzhi nodded: "Thank you, Sister Wenxiao."

Wen Xiao smiled gently at Nanzhi and pulled her towards the hall of the Demon Hunting Bureau.

Sitting in the hall of the Demon Hunting Bureau, everyone did not discuss Nanzhi's request for assistance. Instead, they looked at the military order they had just signed with serious expressions.

In the area between the fingerprints and the military order, a row of words appeared out of thin air.

The general meaning is that the five members of the demon-hunting team signed a military order, and if they could not solve the water ghost kidnapping bride case within five days, they would commit suicide to apologize.

Sitting next to Nanzhi, Zhu Yan said calmly, "Alas, if we can't solve the case within five days, I'm afraid the four of you will lose your lives."

Wen Xiao looked at Zhu Yan and reminded him: "Don't forget, you are also among them."

"But I didn't press the fingerprint." Zhu Yan spread his hands, looking innocent and as if he deserved a beating.

Seeing that Zhuo Yichen, Pei Sijing, and Bai Jiu's eyes were all focused on him, Zhu Yan smiled faintly at them: "But as a ten-thousand-year-old demon, solving a small case of a water ghost kidnapping a bride is a piece of cake for me."

Wen Xiao saw through it and asked directly: "What do you want?"

"As expected of the Goddess Bai Ze, go ahead." Zhu Yan looked at Nan Zhi and said, "I want Nan Zhi to be a non-staff member of the demon hunting team."

Nanzhi didn't expect Zhu Yan to say such words. She looked at him, but met his calculating eyes, as if telling her "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"Dream on!" Zhuo Yichen gritted his teeth in anger.

Don't think he doesn't know what this big demon is up to! He just said last night that he wouldn't let Nanzhi get into danger, and today he wants her to become a non-staff member of the demon hunting team. His intention to confuse Nanzhi is too obvious!

Bai Jiu pulled the cold Pei Sijing and whispered to her, "Why do I smell gunpowder? What's going on between Brother Xiao Zhuo and the big demon?"

Pei Sijing glanced at Bai Jiu and replied coldly, "You're too angry."

"What do you mean by dreaming?" Ignoring Pei Sijing and Bai Jiu's grumbling, Zhu Yan looked at Zhuo Yichen calmly: "Although Master Zhuo is the commander of the Monster Hunting Division, you can't have the final say in the Monster Hunting Squad. Come and vote. The one with the most votes wins."

Zhu Yan raised his hand and said, "I will join Nanzhi and become a non-staff member of the demon hunting team."

Wen Xiao also raised his hand: "I agree."

Zhuo Yichen looked at Wen Xiao in shock, but Wen Xiao turned his head away and pretended not to see him.

After that, it was quiet. Bai Jiu did not express his opinion, Pei Sijing was in a wait-and-see state, and Zhuo Yichen's attitude was very obvious.

Zhu Yan looked at Bai Jiu. Seeing Bai Jiu's frightened eyes, he smiled softly and said, "Your head will fall off."

Bai Jiu grabbed Zhuo Yichen's sleeve and hid behind him in fear: "I...I, I, I and Brother Zhuo!"

Pei Sijing raised her hand: "I agree."

Meeting the gazes of others, her expression remained as cold as ever, and she simply said, "I want to live."

Zhu Yan put down his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that I won."

Wen Xiao smiled and looked at Nanzhi: "Congratulations, Nanzhi, you have become a non-staff member of the demon hunting team."

Nanzhi also said happily: "I will work hard!"

If you lose, just admit defeat. Zhuo Yichen stood up suddenly and walked out angrily!

Zhu Yan pointed at Zhuo Yichen and said, "Look, he can't afford to lose."

Wen Xiao rolled his eyes at Zhu Yan, Bai Jiu snorted coldly at Zhu Yan, and Pei Sijing said she couldn't bear to watch.

Wen Xiao introduced Bai Jiu to Nanzhi: "This is Bai Jiu. Don't be fooled by his young age. His medical skills are among the best in Tiandu City. Not only can he cure people, he can also cure demons."

Nanzhi smiled kindly at Bai Jiu: "Hello, I'm Shen Nanzhi."

Bai Jiu scratched his head and replied shyly: "Hello, Sister Shen, um... just call me Xiao Jiu. If you feel unwell in the future, you are welcome to come to me anytime."

Seeing that the two knew each other, Wen Xiao introduced Pei Sijing to Nanzhi: "This is Pei Sijing, her archery skills are superb and she never misses a shot!"

Nanzhi looked at Pei Sijing and smiled at her warmly: "Hello Sister Pei, I am Shen Nanzhi."

Pei Sijing said nothing, just nodded.

……

Walking to the backyard of the Demon Hunting Bureau, Zhu Yan found Zhuo Yichen standing in front of a tree, recalling something while looking at the wishing board on the branch.

He said to him, "Master Xiao Zhuo, we are going to investigate the case of the water ghost kidnapping the bride. Aren't you going?"

The warm memories with Nanzhi in his mind were interrupted. Zhuo Yichen turned to look at Zhu Yan, and tightened his grip on the Cloud Light Sword: "Why did you let Nanzhi join the Monster Hunting Division?"

Nanzhi is his bottom line, he will never allow anyone to hurt her!

Zhu Yan stepped forward, looked at the wishing plaque swaying on the branch, and said, "Nanzhi's father was wrongfully killed in prison by the Chongwu Camp. If the Demon Hunting Division regains its power and gradually returns to its peak eight years ago, the Chongwu Camp, which has committed so many evil deeds, will surely be brought to justice."

"She wants to avenge her father and see the Chongwu Camp receive the punishment they deserve, and I want to help her."

This was the decision he made after hearing about Nanzhi's father last night and when Nanzhi said this morning that she wanted to join the Monster Hunting Bureau.

Retracting his gaze from the wishing card, Zhu Yan tilted his head to look at Zhuo Yichen, whose expression was somewhat moved. "As for the dangerous cases and dangerous monsters that Master Zhuo is worried about... Don't worry, under my protection, no one can hurt Nanzhi."

Unhappy with Zhu Yan bringing Nanzhi under his wing, Zhuo Yichen said coldly, "I will protect Nanzhi, so you don't need to worry about it."
