Chapter 254 Tai Yi Sheng Shui
Xiao Zongting and Xiao Yu were reunited for only an hour, but it felt like they had experienced life and death. Both of them couldn't help but shed tears.

"Yu'er, who kidnapped you? I must skin him alive!" Xiao Zongting said angrily.

Xiao Yu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "It was Wei Yutian. It was Duan Rong who saved me." Xiao Yu said this and looked at Duan Rong with a smile.

Along the way, Duan Rong had already told Xiao Yu the general outline of the matter.

Duan Rong smiled and said, "There is no need for Elder Xiao to skin him alive, as Wei Yutian has already been killed by Shen Yanliu."

Duan Rong briefly told Xiao Zongting that Wei Yutian was a member of the Filthy Blood Cult, and he was shocked.

Duan Rong paid attention to the changes in Xiao Zongting's expression. If Ruan Fengshan was the leader of the Filthy Blood Cult, then could the Yuanshun Escort Agency be a hideout of the Filthy Blood Cult?

Duan Rong's spiritual consciousness penetrated Xiao Zongting's body and clearly saw his damaged dantian. At this time, the spirit of the foul blood copper cone that he had swallowed had been digested and absorbed.

He already had a good understanding of the magical powers of the Filthy Blood Divine Art.

The Divine Art of Filthy Blood can cure many hidden diseases. If Xiao Zongting had practiced it, his damaged Dantian should have been restored.

Moreover, Duan Rong did not believe that Xiao Zongting would practice such an evil practice. Coupled with the fact that Xiao Yu was abducted by Wei Yutian, it seemed that at least the Xiao family members in this escort agency were normal and trustworthy.

Duan Rong followed Xiao Zongting and Xiao Yu back to the Xiao family's courtyard. He checked Zhu Xiaoqi's injuries again, took some pills, and then had another sleep. Zhu Xiaoqi's fever had subsided by then.

Xiao Yu used golden wound medicine to re-bandage Zhu Xiaoqi's wound.

Duan Rong took Zhu Xiaoqi's pulse and found that there was only a small amount of residual poison in her body. She should be fine after taking another pill tomorrow.

Duan Rong said goodbye and left. Xiao Yu personally saw him to the door. Xiao Yu looked at him lovingly. Duan Rong naturally saw Xiao Yu's feelings, but he just said goodbye and left out of courtesy.

Xiao Yu stood at the door, staring blankly at Duan Rong as he walked away. She could vaguely feel Duan Rong's faint indifference.

Duan Rong returned to Liulu, exhausted both physically and mentally. He didn't have the strength to wash up. He climbed onto the bed and fell asleep instantly.

Duan Rong had just slept for an hour when there were knocks on the door outside Liu Lu's courtyard gate. Duan Rong turned over and covered his head to sleep. He really didn't want to pay attention to the guy who disturbed his sleep. However, he still thought about it and scanned the door with his spiritual sense.

The person knocking on the gate turned out to be an old servant from the yamen.

Although Duan Rong was reluctant, he still jumped down, walked across the courtyard with squinted eyes, yawned, and opened the gate.

Duan Rong tilted his head, half-closed his eyes, and asked in a dazed voice, "What's the matter so early in the morning?"

"Master Duan, I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dream." The bailiff said with a smile.

Duan Rong opened his eyes and glanced at the old yamen runner. His meaning was obvious. You also know how to disturb people's sweet dreams.

The old yamen runner smiled awkwardly and said, "Master Duan Rong, the county lord wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Duan Rong's sleepiness disappeared without a trace. The moment his spiritual sense swept across the yamen runner, he suspected that it was Shen Yanliu who was looking for him, and he turned out to be right.

Duan Rong followed the old yamen runner to the county office. Shen Yanliu had already changed into a loose scholar's robe. He was eating a bowl of bird's nest that Ma Chunmin had just cooked. He hadn't slept all night, but Shen Yanliu's eyes were still bright, but there was a hint of fatigue between his brows.

Duan Rong walked in and was about to pay his respects when Shen Yanliu waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Sit down!"

Duan Rong sat down respectfully on a throne below.

"Someone, bring another bird's nest!"

Soon, a pretty maid brought a bowl of bird's nest on a wooden tray and placed it on the coffee table next to Duan Rong. Shen Yanliu said, "Master Duan Rong, try this freshly stewed bird's nest."

"Thank you, County Master." Duan Rong picked up the bird's nest and drank a spoonful with a silver spoon. A mellow and fragrant aroma filled his tongue.

The taste was of course very good, but in front of Shen Yanliu, Duan Rong was careful to control his manners and ate slowly and elegantly.

Shen Yanliu said: "According to the time, you have been in contact with Su Di for almost half a year."

Duan Rong was already prepared for Shen Yanliu's question while eating, so he put down the spoon in his hand and answered, "Yes, for more than half a year."

Shen Yanliu looked at Duan Rong and asked, "Besides Wei Yutian, did she mention any other followers of the Filthy Blood Cult?"

Duan Rong shook his head and said, "She only started talking to me about the Filthy Blood Sect recently. She wanted to lead me into the sect, so the focus of her conversation was on the Filthy Blood Divine Art."

Shen Yanliu nodded. He just asked casually, because he had already dug up most of the information that could be dug out in this case. Asking Duan Rong was just a waste of time, and he didn't expect to really get anything out of him.

Shen Yanliu said, "Master Duan Rong, you have the merit of being the first to report this foul blood case. I will report this to the sect and ask for a Tai Sheng Shui merit order for you."

"This Taiyishengshui Merit Order is issued by the sect and is only given to civilians. It is a reward for those who have made great contributions. Not only can it exempt you from taxes on the land under your name, but also, whether you or your children in the future, if they want to take the exam to become registered disciples of Taiyi Sect, this Merit Order will have a certain blessing effect and will be considered by the sect as a priority for admission."

Two days ago, Qin Shuban had already compiled the preliminary list of applicants for the sect's selection of registered disciples and placed it on his desk.

Shen Yanliu took a quick look and he remembered that Duan Rong was on the registration list of Yuanshun Escort Agency. Since he had some impression of Duan Rong, he remembered him immediately.

Shen Yanliu didn't care about it at first. After taking a quick look at the list, he put it aside and planned to wait for Jie Daohan to come back from the provincial capital and then hand over the background review of the reference personnel to him.

Duan Rong felt a chill in his heart when he heard about the merit order of Tai Yi Sheng Shui. Because he had devoured the spirit of the Filthy Blood Copper Cone in Wei Yutian's secret room, Duan Rong's understanding of the Filthy Blood Divine Art was far beyond that of ordinary people.

The weirdness and mystery of it is really frightening.

If his denunciation of the Filthy Blood Cult were to spread, it would be like stirring up a hornet's nest. Once he was targeted by the Filthy Blood Cult and targeted for revenge and elimination, he would be in trouble.

He didn't think that he could survive the assassination attempt by the Filthy Blood Cult.

If we take Tai Yisheng Shui's merit order, wouldn't that be equivalent to a life-threatening hunting order from the Filthy Blood Cult?

What's more, he had already achieved the profound realm of Inner Breath Realm and was very confident about the assessment for registered disciples in March. Duan Rong didn't think he needed the blessing of this Order of Merit at all.

Duan Rong clasped his fists and said, "County Master, this is absolutely not allowed!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanliu's face turned cold. He looked up at Duan Rong and said in a deep voice, "Master Duan Rong, what do you mean by this?"

Duan Rong said bluntly: "I dare not hide it from you, my humble servant, I am afraid of the revenge of those thieves of the Dirty Blood Sect."

Shen Yanliu's eyes moved, and he smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. Both the sect and the county government will keep it confidential for you."

Duan Rong said, "I have seen the remains of the Blood Sect thieves in the pavilion. It is shocking. I will never accept this order. I hope the county magistrate will understand."

Shen Yanliu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said coldly: "This matter is known to the county. Escort Duan Rong, please ask for it yourself."

Shen Yanliu ordered them to leave, so Duan Rong immediately stood up, clasped his fists and left.

Shen Yanliu looked at Duan Rong's back and said angrily, "You don't know how to be polite!"
