It should be said that they were visiting other demons.

---

The carpenter sawed at the wood in front of him, his mind still replaying his conversation with Huang Qi.

They'll definitely care a little, after all...

Thinking about the wooden sword that Huang Qi had just been carrying.

It's hard to imagine how much force it would take to turn a wooden sword into that shape.

They also used a wooden sword to kill three people...

Considering Bai Qian's harmless appearance, the carpenter really couldn't imagine how she could have wielded a wooden sword and killed three people.

Perhaps they're saying that some kind of monster is hiding inside that tiny body? Aren't all storytellers' tales like that?

As the carpenter was lost in these random thoughts, the door was quietly pushed open.

The girl in white walked in.

The carpenter's wandering thoughts suddenly stopped, and his heart almost stopped from being frightened.

To be honest, this girl is very beautiful. Her delicate features have a unique sense of refinement, and her black eyes are like black pearls.

I wish it hadn't appeared when I was still wondering what kind of demon it was.

"Have you eaten?" The carpenter was so flustered that he didn't know what to say, so he could only ask dryly.

Bai Qian walked into the room, glanced at the things inside, and didn't see anything that interested her.

"Do you know where the other monsters in the city are?" A clear voice with a hint of coldness came from her mouth.

The carpenter's face stiffened; he wondered what this man wanted with those monsters.

Aren't you yourself one?

He thought this to himself, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.

It can be basically confirmed that Zhang Wu and the others were killed by this person.

Fortunately, I didn't tell Huang Qi about this.

After he told him, he was given three pigs, but he couldn't afford to offend the man in front of him. If the man found out that he had leaked the secret, he might end up like Zhang Wu and his gang.

“Of course, of course.” He nodded repeatedly.

Footsteps came from outside the house.

Then the back door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man wearing a light blue brocade robe walked in, accompanied by two burly men dressed like thugs.

"Do you know where those two next door are?" The slightly arrogant tone was already delivered before the person even entered.

Bai Qian turned around and bumped right into him.

The middle-aged man ignored Bai Qian and looked at the carpenter.

"Where did those two girls surnamed Bai go? We just went to their house, and neither of them was home." There was a hint of command in his tone.

The carpenter's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this.

He glanced at Bai Qian and found that she remained unmoved.

This Mr. Lai doesn't seem to be very bright, or perhaps he doesn't recognize people?

"I wonder what business you have with them?" he asked cautiously.

He wasn't afraid of this person, but he was afraid that this person would anger Bai Qian, who was standing right next to him. The carpenter really wanted to know how Bai Qian managed to slash three people with a wooden sword, but only if she wasn't in his own house.

“The maid who was taken to deliver the rat master has escaped, and my family sent me to check on the situation,” Lai Xian replied with a frown.

"Take her and her sister back and send them to Master Rat for interrogation. Let Master Rat ask them what happened back then." There was a hint of confusion in his tone.

After all, the scene next to that dilapidated temple was a bit chilling. Who beat Rat Master to death? It couldn't have been some passing knight-errant, could it? There are always such plots in novels and storybooks.

As for the claim that he was killed by Bai Qian?

No one would think that way, not only he, but also the two older brothers of Master Rat.

She felt a slight fear of what had happened next to the dilapidated temple, but she didn't even look at the two of them directly.

"I don't know." The carpenter replied without hesitation.

"Here." The girl replied coolly.

Bai Qian stood to the side, quietly watching Lai Xian.

Her slender, jade-like fingers rested on a wooden stick leaning against the wall.

Those dark eyes sent a chill down one's spine.

Volume 1: Chapter 12, The Flawed Jade

Lai Xian lowered his head slightly and looked at Bai Qian.

This girl is too short; I didn't see her very well just now.

She's quite pretty, but her eyes are a bit scary.

The characteristics do match the ones my family described to me before I came.

I don't actually know her, since I haven't paid much attention to this kind of thing before.

He had been in contact with some monsters outside the city. The rat monsters were from the abandoned stockade in the south of the city, so he didn't know much about them.

If it weren't for what happened yesterday, he wouldn't have been sent here to capture those two girls.

I looked her over carefully a few times, and apart from her somewhat intimidating eyes, I didn't see anything particularly noteworthy.

Holding a wooden stick? That's not something to pay too much attention to.

A wooden stick can kill people, right?

Lai Xian said that he could break three or four of these wooden sticks with one hand.

"Are you the girl they captured and fed to Master Rat?" His tone was somewhat arrogant.

Perhaps it was due to his ingrained arrogance, but his tone carried a questioning quality.

After all, in Bai Fengcheng, apart from those demons, there really weren't many people worth his attention.

The Huang family, the government, and that group of strange people who worshipped Lady White Phoenix are all limited to this scope.

"How did you escape? Who saved you?" He continued to ask without giving Bai Qian a chance to answer.

They were certain that Bai Qian had been rescued.

She just had to find out who saved her.

Judging from the marks next to the temple, the person who saved Bai Qian was probably not a demon, but a human martial artist.

However, there are very few martial artists left now. After all, even after practicing martial arts for so many years, they might still be no match for a newly transformed demon.

There are indeed very few martial artists nowadays.

Of course, though it's a small number, it's still one of the most effective methods for humans to fight against demons.

Bai Qian was also slightly stunned when she heard Lai Xian's question.

Who saved me?

I really don't know how to answer that.

After all, it wasn't anyone who saved me.

Bai Qian was simply wondering whether she should pick up the stick and then use it on the person opposite her.

戳?

Smashing it wouldn't do any good.

He has only learned one move in his swordsmanship: Willow Snow.

Liu Dianxue only used a straight thrust; a smash would probably not be very effective.

I couldn't even cut someone's neck with a wooden sword before.

Lai Xian was not annoyed that Bai Qian did not reply.

For him, there was really no need to make things difficult for a little girl. His only task was to send them to the group of rat demons. As for other matters, they were indeed none of his concern. He was just following orders.

If it gets out, I'll be laughed at.

Anyway, once she's sent to that group of rat demons, it's basically the same as her being dead.

"Let's take her to Rat Lord's place first. As for her sister... we can send someone to catch her later." Just make sure the main person is caught.

The other one isn't very important either; he's not here right now, we can just send someone to catch him later.

However, if that's the case, it seems her older sister could be kept for other purposes. If she's older, she could be arrested and kept.

Bai Qian was originally considering whether to use a wooden stick to make a hole in the man opposite her.

But after hearing his words, he didn't lift the stick.

It was also because she was considering how to find the demon.

Now that someone is taking me to find it, there's no reason for me to refuse, right?

She wasn't in a hurry to take action, since killing wouldn't increase her lifespan anyway, so Bai Qian didn't have a strong desire to kill.

Even if we really have to take action, it would be better to at least wait until they lead us to that group of rats.

She has a poor sense of direction; when she went to find Zhang Wu and his group before, it took her a long time to find them.

Lai Xian glanced at the wooden stick in Bai Qian's hand, but didn't seem to care much.

Adults would only laugh at a child carrying a wooden stick.

Unless she's holding a knife, which might make people pay more attention.

However, I won't need to go looking for her myself anymore, which will save me a lot of trouble.

"Take him away." He casually said to the two people behind him and walked straight out of the room.

The carpenter watched as Bai Qian obediently left with the two thugs behind Lai Xian, and he opened his mouth to speak.

But it only opened its mouth slightly, without making any sound.

He didn't know whether he should be worried about Bai Qian or the Lai family members.

After thinking about it, I decided not to say anything.

If what I think is true, then I probably don't need to worry about this girl.

Should I move in the next few days?

That's what he thought.

----

It seems to be exactly the same as when I first transmigrated here.

Bai Qian followed behind Lai Xian, while behind her were two thugs who had brought with them, closely following the two men and watching Bai Qian warily.

The wooden stick in Bai Qian's hand was not put away.

No one would care about a stick, let alone that it was in the hands of a little girl.

To put it bluntly, being concerned about this stick is truly a sign of something being wrong with your brain.

"My lady, what's next?" the man in the short shirt following behind Bai Qian asked Lai Xian in a low voice.

"Just send them directly to Pengzhai in the south of the city. Master Rat and the others must be getting impatient. Send them there as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you send them a little later, I'll be fine, but you'll probably end up being eaten as snacks," Lai Xian replied casually.

Upon hearing Lai Xian's words, the thug immediately lowered his head.

He had long heard of the brutality of the rat demon in the south of the city, and what Lai Xian said was not false, but the absolute truth.

Bai Qian gazed at the darkening sky and looked around.

Bai Qian had some vague recollection of the stronghold where the rat demon lived.

However, these impressions are all associated with horror.
