I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 39: A drop of water in return
Li Qingyun was confused and immediately had the urge to use his supernatural powers to do divination on the spot.

However, the evil spirit had dissipated, and even the foul aura on its body had been completely devoured by him and transformed into qi and blood. The divination lacked sufficient information, and the revelation obtained would not be complete.

Of course, Li Qingyun could also try to use the corpses of the servants who had just been killed by Han Tianjin for divination, but if he rashly collected the flesh and blood on the ground, it would be easy for Fang Shuan, who was very cunning, to see through the flaws and expose his secrets.

Oh, forget it. Let Kaifeng Prefecture worry about these problems on its own. Why should I keep getting involved?
Moreover, Fourth Brother Lu is able to communicate with spirits, so he can probably get the same clues that I can get through divination.

Li Qingyun was thinking silently, but he saw Fang Shuan walking over with his big head shaking, and said with a smile:

"It's okay. My uncle Han is quite strong. He has too much blood and energy, so he feels uncomfortable. He needs to spit out a few times to feel better...

"This 'evil spirit' is so difficult to deal with, its strength is probably close to that of a 'demon' at the third level. It controls the 'servants' to perform a sacrifice here, and it must have chosen this little boy as a vessel, hoping to possess him.

"Once it succeeds, I'm afraid it will be able to use the boy's body and sacrificial rituals to turn into a 'demon'. It will then undergo a qualitative change, not only opening up its spiritual intelligence, but also gaining several times more power. It is definitely not something we can handle."

After hearing Fang Shuan's words, Li Qingyun felt a little relieved.

Kaifeng Prefecture's understanding and research on these evil demons far exceeds that of ordinary people. The right thing to do is to leave these matters to them to deal with. There is no need for me to go to great lengths to dig into the matter.

But I was still not cautious enough. If I hadn't arrived earlier today and hadn't had magical powers to protect myself, I would not only fail to save people, but would have been buried with them. Next time something like this happens, I'll have to ask Fang Shuan to call a few more people... Li Qingyun thought to himself.

However, he had to act urgently and he knew that he didn't have time to wait for top experts like Xu Liang and Bai Yunrui to come back from their mission. Since there was a chance to save an innocent child, it was worth taking the risk.

Feeling relaxed, Li Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling inexplicably warm and satisfied, as if the sun was shining in his heart. He looked at Zhu Chengxi in his arms with joy.

I saw this chubby little guy with his face buried in his arms, his body trembling slightly, holding the rattle tightly in his hands, looking terrified.

Alas, poor child... Li Qingyun muttered to himself. Just as he was about to put him down, he suddenly felt a warm current rushing to his chest, which quickly seeped down to most of his clothes. He suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

Hey, buddy, don't pee your pants, I just changed into new clothes this morning...

Li Qingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only pat Zhu Chengxi's butt helplessly and said softly:
"Little guy, the bad guys have been defeated. Don't be afraid. Uncle will take you home right now."

As he said this, he put Zhu Chengxi down and let him stand on the ground. He shook his arms, looked at his wet collar with a wry smile, and smelled a faint smell of urine.

Seeing Li Qingyun's miserable state, Fang Shuan shook his big head and laughed evilly, walked over and patted Zhu Chengxi on the shoulder, teasing:

"Oh, you are promising, little guy. You should repay the life-saving grace with boy's urine, haha..."

The little girl's face turned red. Looking at the noseless, thin neck, big head and the strong man like an iron tower in front of her, she felt scared for no reason and quickly shrank behind Li Qingyun.

At this time, Song Ke also came up and said:

"Boss, now that we have found the young master of the Zhu family, let's send him back. There is also a reward of 500 taels of silver."

What, there’s still money to be taken?
Li Qingyun's eyes lit up, and he suspected that he had heard it wrongly:

"How much? Five hundred taels?"

Song Ke replied hurriedly:
"The Zhu family is a wealthy family. A little silver means nothing to them, but with this money, our gang's life will be much better." Li Qingyun nodded and said to Fang Shuan:
"Captain Fang, this child was entrusted to us by Mr. Zhu's family in the east of the city. We have to send him back quickly to prevent his family from getting anxious. I'll leave the matters here to you and Captain Han."

Fang Shuan patted his chest:

"Don't worry, I will take care of the rest. This time, smashing the sacrificial ritual of the Demon Dao is a great achievement. When I go back and tell Gan Laoer, I will record your achievement as the first merit, and you will definitely get the reward you deserve. Add to that the merit of beheading the Wu Shi cultist last night, and you may be able to exchange for the entry-level skills of the first realm. Remember to come early tomorrow to ask."

Li Qingyun was delighted when he heard this, and wanted to go to Kaifeng Prefecture immediately to get the martial arts skills. However, he was worried about letting Song Ke go back alone with the child, so he let Zhu Chengxi ride on the back of his neck and took Song Ke back.

……

East of the city, Zhu Mansion.

After being informed by the servants, Li Qingyun brought Song Ke and Zhu Chengxi to the main hall, where someone was already there to greet them.

Sitting at the top was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a silk robe with a jade belt around his waist. He had a dignified appearance and an elegant demeanor.

Sitting next to him was a middle-aged woman with a dignified face and tearful eyes. When she saw Zhu Chengxi coming back, she burst into tears:
"My son..."

Zhu Chengxi also ran all the way to his mother's arms, sobbing and crying.

Li Qingyun looked around and found a familiar person sitting there...

She was a beautiful young woman in her twenties, with her black hair piled up high and decorated with delicate hairpins. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, and her every move exuded a charming and seductive temperament, especially the bright red gem pendant on her chest, which emitted a faint halo, making her skin look whiter than snow and crystal clear.

It was Su Yue'e, the wife of Deputy Gang Leader Yun.

When she saw Li Qingyun coming, a slight surprise appeared on her face, and then she smiled at him, her fiery eyes as if they had substance, sweeping over him unabashedly.

Li Qingyun felt uneasy at Mrs. Yun's teasing look. Thinking of the affair between them, his face turned slightly red. He quickly looked away and looked at the fourth person sitting in the room.

Next to Mrs. Yun, there was a woman in her fifties sitting. She had an ordinary face and was dressed simply, but her temperament was leisurely and elegant, and she seemed quite otherworldly. Mrs. Yun was holding her arm, and the two seemed very close.

Li Qingyun felt that the middle-aged woman looked familiar, but his memory was vague. He could not remember her identity for a moment and did not dare to speak casually, for fear of being exposed by calling her the wrong name.

While hesitating, he heard Song Ke clasping his fists and greeting them:
"Hello Mr. Zhu, Madam Zhu. Hello Madam Wei, Madam Yun..."

Madam Wei? Oh, this is Wei Xiuwen's wife...

Why are they all here?

Li Qingyun hurriedly nodded to several people, but found that Mrs. Wei looked at him strangely, and he couldn't help but be startled.

Su Yue'e and Madam Wei look like close friends, so she might have told everyone about our secret "affairs"...
