I am a living immortal.

The manager started making preparations early in the morning.

Wei Ming also got up early. The steward brought him tea and pastries, but the worry on his face never faded and he kept sighing.

There are not many people in the Wei Mansion.

Wei Zhao, Wei Ming's first son, was very happy to have a younger brother. He happily surrounded his wet nurse, looking here and there, just like a little monkey jumping up and down.

The originally wrinkled baby also opened up, becoming as delicate as a piece of jade.

The Wei Mansion was lightly decorated, but the festive atmosphere could not be suppressed. The servants' faces were filled with happy smiles. This was the human nature. Wei Ming had worked his way up from the bottom, and he did not treat others like grass like the wealthy families.

Wei Ming's mother was able to raise Wei Ming. Although she was not very wise, she was a wise person. Otherwise, she would not have been able to raise Wei Ming into such a talented person alone.

Being clear about rewards and punishments and not putting on airs is enough to win over most people.

The harmonious atmosphere in this family meant that the hardworking and capable servants lived a good life.

There are few ungrateful people in the world, so the servant will respect his master the same way his master treats him.

Today is a festive day, and soon people came to visit with gifts. Most of them were colleagues who lived nearby, and there were not many close friends, so everything was kept simple.

The steward invited everyone to take their seats.

Wei Ming was welcoming guests. After all the guests had left, Wei Ming was still looking around at the door, which made the manager a little confused.

But soon, he knew the reason.

I saw a young man walking slowly towards me, leading a sheep.

"Brother Wei, I haven't seen you for many years. I hope you are doing well. Why do you look like this on such a festive day? Are you blaming me for being late?" Su Mu teased.

"I'm busy with official duties. You came just in time. I haven't seen you for many years. You still look the same as before."

"Really? I feel like I've matured a lot. What a gift." As he said that, he stuffed the treasure box into Wei Ming's arms.

"Mature? Excuse my disappointment."

"Hahaha."

In just a few words, the two of them eliminated the already slight sense of strangeness between them.

The joy of reuniting with his good friend made Wei Ming's sad face fade away a little, and he felt much better.

Wei Ming personally invited Su Mu to the table without complaining too much. He knew that Su Mu would help him if he said a word. First of all, the current situation was inappropriate. Secondly, they had not yet reached the end of their rope. Recently, news came that they had found key clues from the mouths of those sorcerers, and these clues pointed to the monster behind the scenes.

The Demon-Slaying Division and the Ministry of Justice will send out all their elite troops to slay the evildoers.

The situation is becoming clearer.

Su Mu also knew what her friend was thinking, so she didn't ask any more questions. The other party would definitely tell her when they needed her.

It's bustling around.

Mrs. Wei personally held the child and walked around in front of everyone. Everyone gave her the most sincere blessings. The child was lively and healthy, babbling in his mother's arms, but soon became tired and was carried back by the wet nurse to rest.

Although there were not many invited guests.

But the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and plenty of fine wine. All the people in the Ministry of Justice had been on edge these days, and they finally relaxed. Coupled with the good news from the previous few days, everyone got drunk today. This hundred-day banquet started and ended with joy, and there were no accidents in the middle.

This made Wei Ming feel relieved.

He was afraid that if there was more bad news, he would be committing a serious crime. So one by one, the masters were sent back to their mansions by their respective housekeepers.

Those who lived far away were also given guest rooms.

The hundred-day banquet also ended safely.

…………

Late at night, the bright moon that was previously hanging high in the sky has now been obscured by clouds.

Wei Ming looked at the sky but couldn't fall asleep.

The situation was clearly clear, but he still felt uneasy. Especially as time went by, this feeling of uneasiness became even stronger, like a thorn in his throat.

"Dark clouds covering the moon is not a good sign."

Su Mu's voice sounded beside Wei Ming.

"I feel the same way. I always have a bad feeling." Wei Ming said, looking up at the sky.

"Then what you worry about will definitely happen."

"Do you need me to go for a while? The opponent you are meeting this time is not an easy one."

"Is there any chance of winning?"

"Nothing."

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Su."

Wei Ming was about to bow when Su Mu supported him. "Why should we be so polite? First of all, this is a demon. Now that I've met him, there's no way I'll let him go. Secondly, this merit will be considered a gift for the Hundred Days Banquet. And, counting this one, you already owe me two dinners. Lord Wei, as your official position rises, you can't refuse to pay me..."

“No, no…”

Before he could finish his words, the figure beside him had already disappeared.

Wei Ming shook his head. He knew that Su Mu said this to eliminate his guilt. It was clearly a treat, but now it turned into a favor...

Being able to speak up doesn’t mean you won’t feel guilty.

...............

Chengzhou.

A group of black-robed men with ghost masks were jumping quickly in the forest. One of their hands was touching the knife that was tightly grasped in his hand, and a murderous aura was locked on the woman in red in front of him.

The woman in red was facing several men in black robes, and she kept dodging the rapidly receding trees. Compared with the men in black robes, she seemed so calm, and she smiled and teased.

"Hey~ Come and catch me~"

This figure seemed so confident.

Just now.

Curved hooks rushed out of the forest.

Faced with this sudden attack, the woman didn't take it seriously at all. She dodged it easily with a few quick moves, fiddling with her hair in her hands: "If that's all you have, you wouldn't have to come out and throw it..."

"Wow!!"

A streaking sword light brushed past the woman's cheek, but the attack did not stop. The sword light paused for a moment and then turned again, slashing towards the woman.

Fiery red flames danced above the cold sword light.

In just a moment, a large area of ​​trees was ignited. In the raging fire, a tall figure wearing a black robe, with a ghostly face and an upright figure walked out of the fire. His left shoulder armor was engraved with ancient patterns, and the long sword in his right hand was sheathed and sparks were rubbed against it. The man was Xuan Qi, one of the two commanders of the Demon Slaying Division.

The woman in red frowned at the newcomer and said, "Here comes a remarkable person."

As he spoke, he wiped his cheek with his finger, and the wound that was originally bleeding healed instantly, leaving no trace.

"But you can't catch me with just this."

The evil spirit on his body spread out and transformed into small black insects that swept towards the people who gathered around him from all directions.

"Crack!"

Xuanqi's sword was unsheathed again.

The swarm of insects was ignited in the next moment, and a man appeared in front of the woman in red. The sword in his hand changed, and a unicorn made of fire flashed by.
