Looking at the anxious-looking clerk Wang, Yang Xiaoman took a deep breath.

He nodded slightly to the other party, then reached out and took the butcher's book, before turning his gaze to the hall.

Although the place was empty, Shen Zhi Qiu was nowhere to be seen.

But she still can't forget the unforgettable experience of today.

Since the other party is narrow-minded and petty...

Coincidentally, she is also the type to hold a grudge!

Suddenly sensing a murderous aura, Wang the clerk trembled and quickly coughed lightly:

"Young Butcher Yang, if there's nothing else, you may leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Xiaoman turned her cold gaze towards her.

Without a second thought, he loudly proclaimed:

"Tell your father that if I have the chance in the future, I will repay him a hundredfold for what happened today!"

"And while I'm at it... let's settle my father's old scores as well!"

After saying that, ignoring the fear on Wang the clerk's face and his trembling legs, Yang Xiaoman grabbed the pig-slaughtering knife from the slaughtering table and left without looking back, taking the butcher with her.

Seeing this, Wang the clerk secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He naturally had no intention of telling his family the harsh words she had uttered before leaving.

After all, Yang Xiaoman could act recklessly because she already had a grudge against the adults.

But if he dares to act as a messenger, he will probably become a punching bag for his own family.

boom!

Just then, a loud crash came from inside the hall, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

Wang, the clerk, suddenly felt his eyelids twitch and instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

Then they saw Shen Zhi Qiu slowly walk out of the hall with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with killing intent!

It was obvious that he had heard the harsh words Yang Xiaoman left behind before she departed.

On the other side, Yang Xiaoman passed through the connecting corridor and quickly returned to the side hall.

As soon as they reached the side courtyard, they saw Cai Youjin standing guard in front of the Tu Xing Shu compound.

He seemed to hear footsteps behind him, and subconsciously turned around, only to be met with Yang Xiaoman's cold face.

Cai Youjin's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized what had happened. He sighed and stepped forward, saying:

"Young Butcher Yang, don't be discouraged. With your abilities, completing the assessment will be more than enough."

"At worst, we can wait another three years. By then, Lord Shen will have left the Tu Xing Shu. Even if he has a long reach, he will never be able to make things difficult for you like he is today."

"It's only a matter of time before I become a butcher."

Upon seeing Yang Xiaoman, he instinctively assumed she had failed the assessment and left dejectedly.

After all, Lord Shen had already disregarded his reputation and put forward such harsh conditions, clearly determined to revoke Butcher Yang's qualifications and force his daughter to be unable to inherit the butcher's position.

Upon seeing Cai Youjin, Yang Xiaoman's expression softened somewhat. Just now, during the assessment in the main courtyard, despite facing unfair treatment from her superior, Cai Youjin still risked being retaliated against by saying a few good words for her.

Although it didn't have much effect, she had to accept this favor.

"Speaking of which, I must thank you for speaking up for me."

Hearing this, Cai Youjin shook his head with a wry smile. He hadn't helped at all, so how could he accept such gratitude with a clear conscience?

Just as he was about to refuse, his eyes suddenly widened.

It was as if I had witnessed something incredible.

At that moment, Yang Xiaoman suddenly raised her left hand, and Cai Youjin then realized that she was holding a butcher's manual!

Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but gasp:

"This... isn't this the Butcher's Manual? How did it end up in your hands?"

He remembered clearly that Shen Zhi Qiu had brought up the abandoned case from back then when they were in the hall just now.

The purpose was to confiscate Yang Chenglin's butcher's license, so why is it in his daughter's hands now?!

No! What I see before me does not appear to be Yang Chenglin's butcher's book!

Looking at the brand-new butcher's book so close at hand, and smelling the faint scent of ink, Cai Youjin's pupils shrank involuntarily.

Could it be that……

He had just opened his mouth wide in disbelief when he heard Yang Xiaoman smile calmly, "What you said is right, sir. This is indeed the butcher's manual, and it is my butcher's manual."

"That man surnamed Shen tried every possible means, but he was still at his wit's end and could not stop me from becoming a butcher."

"This can be seen as a tacit confirmation that in the face of absolute power, all demons and monsters are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs."

Upon hearing this, Cai Youjin was immediately petrified.

In his view, even Butcher Yang himself was not absolutely certain of completing the Butcher's Three Trials, which he had to pass himself, but his seven or eight-year-old daughter had actually accomplished.

What terrifying talent and strength must that be?!

After a long while, he gradually came to his senses, looked at the young face in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and sigh:

"The ancients were right; heroes truly do emerge from among the young."

"Young Butcher Yang, judging from this, it won't be long before your reputation far surpasses that of your father."

Regardless of her abilities, given her young age, she only needs the right opportunity to become famous in Shahe County.

Given time, his reputation will surely far surpass that of Butcher Yang back then!

Thinking of this, Cai Youjin felt secretly fortunate, but couldn't help feeling a little schadenfreude.

Taking advantage of Yang Chenglin's unexpected death, Shen Zhiqi recklessly made things difficult for his daughter. Little did he know that this petty behavior would sow the seeds of unpredictable trouble for his future.

Faced with Cai Youjin's flattery, Yang Xiaoman simply smiled indifferently, exchanged a few polite words, and then left the Tu Xing Shu.

She didn't care whether she could surpass her father.

All she knew was that besides redeeming her sister, she now had a new goal: to settle her father's scores!

One day, with the butcher's knife in hand, I will "kill" Shen Gou!

……

Upon leaving the butcher's office, Yang Xiaoman saw that it was already late afternoon and, without delay, headed towards the city gate.

Because of Shen Zhi Qiu's predicament, she wasted a lot of time and now she must hurry back to Sima Town.

Otherwise, if they miss the last oxcart, they'll be in big trouble.

Although she had a few dozen coins on her, enough to find an inn to rest for the night and avoid sleeping on the streets.

But if she doesn't return home for a night, her mother will definitely worry a lot and may even have a sleepless night.

Fortunately, when Yang Xiaoman arrived at the entrance of Shahe County and boarded an oxcart bound for Sima Town, there was just one empty seat left.

So, without any delay, Yang Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief.

At this rate, she should be able to catch the last oxcart back to the village.

As darkness fell, by the time the oxcart returned to Yangjia Village, the village was almost deserted, eerily quiet.

As soon as she got off the oxcart, she heard a familiar voice suddenly coming from under the crooked tree at the entrance of the village.

"Xiaoman, is that you?"

Yang Xiaoman was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

"mother?!"
