Begin Immortality By Slaying Demons

Chapter 31 The arrogant Mr. Lin

After Shen Yi asked, she still looked at him calmly.

So that Shou Toutuo didn't react for a while, almost thinking that the other party really wanted to get an "answer".

 After a moment, rage emerged from his heart.

His eyes were sinister and his breathing was rapid. From the day he arrived in Boyun County, no one had ever dared to provoke him like this.

Sloutoutuo clenched his fingers tightly, his nails pricking his palms.

　　I wish I could split the opponent's head with all my strength.

But for some reason, under the shadow of the other party's Gujing Wubo eyes, he felt inexplicably flustered, and he couldn't lift his palms. Could it be that he had been at ease in the mansion for a long time and lost his will to fight?

  No, it’s just that there’s no need to argue with a dead person, it’s too unwise.

If you offend the Beiya Fox Demon, there is no way for the other party to survive, so why do you need to do it yourself?

Thinking of this, Shou Toutuo sneered again, but with a little less confidence: "As expected of a member of the Yamen, Master Shen is more prestigious than the county magistrate. I just don't know what to do."

Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly she remembered something and turned back with some concern: "You are old, don't always smile with your mouth crooked like this, it will easily cause facial paralysis."

 “Hang…”

Sloutoutuo adjusted the corners of his mouth subconsciously, and then his eyelids twitched violently.

Looking at the other person's back slowly walking away, his heart suddenly felt stuffy, and there was a hint of fishy sweetness in his mouth.

 Butcher Zhang approached his senior brother, glanced at him with a pitiful look, and then walked away from the Lin family.

 “There is such a fierce tiger monster hiding in the house!”

Mr. Lin, who arrived late, stared with wide eyes as he watched Chen Ji load the huge tiger carcass on the cart and tie it up.

He glanced at Sloutou Tuo who stayed where he was, smiled submissively, and chased after Shen Yi in three or two steps.

 “Master Shen, stay!”

With his frivolous body and gorgeous and complicated clothes, he couldn't run but could only shout repeatedly.

 Shen Yi stopped in confusion.

 “I’m here to apologize for what happened before.”

Mr. Lin bent down and leaned on his knees in shame, and said calmly: "You saved my little girl, but I suspect that you colluded with the devil to harm my little girl and made her lose her memory. The reason why you brought her back home was to get some money for gambling." Let’s have fun…”

Hearing this, Shen Yi's expression became slightly stiff.

"It's me, a businessman, who looks down on others." Mr. Lin regretted his original sigh, but he didn't notice that Shen Yi quietly turned his head and looked away.

"You are a good person. Bai Wei was blinded by the demon. If it weren't for Mr. Shen today, I'm afraid my Lin family would have been eaten clean by the tiger demon."

　　　…”

Hearing this name again, Shen Yi fell into silence.

 Among the many troubles left by his predecessor, this is the most serious.

Either kill the fox demon and silence it.

 Either get rid of the real Lin Baiwei and join the Beiya Fox Demon from now on.

 There is almost no third way.

The decisive and sharp knife just now not only chopped off the head of the tiger demon, but also cut off his own escape route.

 Shen Yi considers herself to be an ordinary person who also worries about gains and losses.

It's better to just be simple and follow your heart. Why bother and whine like an unweaned child, reluctant to let go of this and unable to let go of that.

"It doesn't have to be like this. It's natural to live with the imperial salary and do your duties."

Shen Yi gathered her thoughts, watched Chen Ji dragging the cart over, and said goodbye to Mr. Lin with a tap of her chin.

"Of course..." Mr. Lin nodded in agreement, but there was a bitterness in the corner of his mouth. It was a matter of course. If this was true, he had given so much silver to the magistrate, why didn't he see Slender Tou Tuo use the money to do things as he should? .

“Master Shen, why don’t I invite you to come and have tea with me when Bai Wei comes back? She has also studied under a teacher and has some knowledge of martial arts. You two are similar in age, so you should have a lot to talk about.”

Hearing this, Chen Ji frowned subconsciously.

Who in Baiyun County doesn’t know that the only daughter of the Lin family is so beautiful that many good men covet her. Compared with her, although her younger sister is also Xiaojiabiyu, she is far behind in terms of family background and knowledge. Wait a minute...why are you comparing your sister to Miss Lin?

Chen Ji patted his forehead. Moreover, with Mr. Shen's current martial arts skills, he may not be able to look down on the kind of woman who has messed with monsters.

 “Look?” Mr. Lin looked over cautiously.

Shen Yi lowered her eyes and looked at the saber at her waist, and said slowly: "That's fine."

Mr. Lin was overjoyed when he got the affirmative answer. Although the other party's expression was a bit strange, they were all young people. If they had more contact, maybe it would work!

Chen Ji rolled his eyes. Sure enough, even if everything else changed, Master Shen's restless heart would still not change.

At this moment, the fat steward, who had changed into clean clothes, struggled to carry a big silk bag and placed it on the cart with a clatter.

Chen Jiguang knew what was inside just by the sound.

　Judging from the shaking of the carriage, it was at least eight hundred taels, which was equivalent to a salary of a sergeant, almost thirty years.

"Don't refuse. If you don't accept it, I really can't get over this hurdle in my heart. Besides, even the imperial court acquiesces to this demon-slaying silver."

Mr. Lin repeatedly handed over his hand.

“I know you like to have fun, and copper coins are not convenient enough, and treasure notes are not elegant enough, so I prepared them in cash.” The fat steward happily asked for credit.

Shen Yi walked to the cart, opened the silk package, and looked at the shining silver inside. A hint of jealousy flashed through her calm eyes.

 Big dog owner! We should really find a street lamp for these people to hang up.

Two egg-added pancakes only cost ten cents, which is enough money to wrap the vendor's whole family in the pancakes.

"That's true." Chen Ji also sighed. He had a random sum of money, but he couldn't even save enough for his sister's dowry in a lifetime.

Shen Yi rummaged through it randomly, picked out two twelve-weight silver ingots, and threw one to Chen Ji: "That's it."

You can't help the Lin family raise their daughter in vain, you still have to pay for food.

 Push the rest off the cart.

Without giving others a chance to say anything more, leaving Mr. Lin standing there in shock, Shen Yi stepped out of the Lin Mansion.

Chen Ji held the silver ingot in surprise, then pulled the cart and hurriedly followed.

 “Master Shen.”

Stepping onto the street, Chen Ji finally wanted to ask what happened just now.

 He really didn’t expect that the other party would fall out with Shou Toutuo so easily.

 “Use your brain before doing things from now on, your life is not picked up.”

Shen Yi stretched out and walked towards the tavern on the street, staring at the wooden signs on the wall: "Bring a pot of flower carvings, roast the goose legs, the left leg, and steam a fish..."

Looking at his back as he ordered, Chen Ji rubbed his lower abdomen.

Master Shen said this as if the other person's life was picked up... Even if it was picked up, why should he stand up for someone who has nothing to do with it.

 Even invited him to dinner.

　Until Shen Yi left with the earthen pot and lotus leaf bag, Chen Ji opened his mouth slightly and asked doubtfully: "Aren't we going to eat here?"

 “Who is following you?”

Shen Yi turned around with a strange expression: "If you want to eat, buy it yourself."

 Do you understand what it means to distinguish between public and private matters?

　　It’s only two or four cents of silver a month, and I’m treating you to a meal. It’s just like eating shit.

　　　…”

Chen Ji took out ten taels of silver ingots, looked at the silver, and then at the other person, feeling filled with emotion:

 “What a weirdo.”
