I'm here in the martial arts world just to find love.

The drawback of this secret technique is that once the person receives the infusion of the other party's power, they will soon suffer a backlash from their inner demons.

The so-called inner demons are simply the obsessions of those who practice martial arts. The deeper the obsessions of a martial artist, and the stronger their emotions such as greed for life, hatred, etc., the stronger their inner demons become.

Zuo Xiaoqian was extremely talented and naturally had high aspirations. Originally, the one who received the power transmission was not her, but one of her fellow disciples.

However, due to her complicated love-hate relationship with her husband, that senior sister's mind was already broken. If she hadn't revealed the truth at the last moment when she was passing on her skills, she would probably have died instantly from her body exploding.

However, the century of arduous cultivation of that senior should not be wasted. Zuo Xiaoqian could have steadily climbed to the third rank, but because of her senior sister, she was forced to accelerate her progress and accept the transfer of her skills.

After that transmission of skills, Zuo Xiaoqian's mental state frequently spiraled out of control.

The most recent time it got out of control was three days ago.

Originally, the infant spirits were suppressed by the seal of the supervisor and would not go berserk. Their mental capacity was not very high, and they were probably maintained at the level of a four or five-year-old child. As long as they were coaxed, they could be ordered around at will.

However, the censor Zuo Xiaoqian was the first to lose control. When she came into contact with the target, her inner demons flared up without warning. In order not to alert the enemy, the junior censor who had come with Zuo Xiaoqian could only ask the infant spirit to suppress it.

The infant spirit was close to Zuo Xiaoqian and was unwilling to harm her. The underlings had no choice but to follow the method taught by the supervisor and forcibly break the sealing spell on the infant spirit.

The matter should have ended here.

The infant spirit's combat power far surpasses that of Zuo Xiaoqian. With its intervention, Zuo Xiaoqian will inevitably be suppressed. Once suppressed in terms of martial arts, Zuo Xiaoqian's mind as an imperial censor will gradually return.

However, just when Zuo Xiaoqian finally broke free from the control of her inner demons, the infant spirit completely went out of control. The little guy went berserk and escaped their sight.

Zuo Xiaoqian was filled with self-reproach. If the infant spirit had escaped from under their noses, the surrounding area would have been plunged into chaos. The infant spirit was controlled by the bloodthirsty energy and its instinct was to kill.

However, it is possible that the seal left on the infant spirit by the supervisor is still in place. Although the infant spirit broke free from their control, it did not immediately go on a killing spree, but instead wandered around the city.

Living by day and active by night, Zuo Xiaoqian searched for two whole days and nights before finally finding traces of the infant spirit.

Then, Jiang Chao, who was sitting idly on the roof, discovered them.

Jiang Chao thought the other party was some kind of江湖飞贼 (Jianghu thief) and followed him all the way.

  

Zuo Xiaoqian originally planned to reveal her identity to scare Jiang Chao away and prevent him from getting involved.

To everyone's surprise, the other party was like a stubborn fool, refusing to give up and insisting on finding out the truth.

What happened next completely exceeded Zuo Xiaoqian's expectations. This seemingly carefree young man turned out to be an extremely powerful martial artist.

Although his true energy fluctuations were not as strong as hers, his physical training was exceptionally domineering, and he easily suppressed even the infant spirits that were known for their physical prowess.

Zuo Xiaoqian was impressed by his talent and decided to reveal her identity to him and befriend him.

It was a worthwhile trip.

Back at the inn, Zuo Xiaoqian changed out of her black clothes and into white ones. She then walked out of her room and headed towards the inn's backyard.

"grown ups!"

"The master is back!"

Upon seeing Zuo Xiaoqian appear, the group of junior staff members hidden in the backyard of the inn all stepped forward to pay their respects.

Zuo Xiaoqian nodded and said calmly to the nearest servant, "Bring over the sun plate; it won't be of any use to the infant spirits anymore."

After saying that, she waved her arm, and the infant spirit that she had collected in her sleeve using sorcery flew out.

Seeing the dying infant spirit on the ground, everyone was shocked and filled with awe for Zuo Xiaoqian.

The Imperial Censor's skills have improved so much during this pursuit that he can easily subdue even infant spirits that were originally inferior!

Feeling the gazes around her, Zuo Xiaoqian felt slightly embarrassed, but she didn't reveal the truth.

She also had her own selfish motives. The spirit medium's office was not a monolithic entity, and many censors were openly and secretly vying for the favor of the chief supervisor.

They used every means at their disposal, all within the rules, but for Zuo Xiaoqian, preventing the news from leaking out was naturally the best option.

The clerks here all seem to be her confidants.

But in reality, there must have been spies planted by other censors, just as she had planted spies around other censors.

After all, one should always be wary of others.

"Tomorrow's plan remains the same."

After saying that, Zuo Xiaoqian turned and left.

The group of junior historians were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

……

Jiang Chao stood in the empty courtyard for half an hour until his internal energy had almost recovered before he stretched his body.

However, what puzzled him was that despite the strong winds blowing here, the surrounding residents were completely unaware.

To dispel his doubts, Jiang Chao took a walk around the area.

Then, the boy discovered that the nearby residents were sleeping soundly, and there was a peculiar fragrance lingering in their houses.

Jiang Chao then understood the reason.

It must have been that Imperial Censor who, while chasing the Blood Demon Child, had already laid out a sleeping incense in the vicinity.

This was to prevent the residents from waking up and causing panic.

After finding out the reason, Jiang Chao clicked his tongue and expressed his admiration for the censor.

How could she be so sure that the Blood Demon Child wouldn't attack ordinary people?

If the Blood Demon Child goes completely berserk, wouldn't the people in the vicinity die unjustly?

Shaking his head, Jiang Chao stopped thinking about it; after all, it was none of his business.

He likes to join in the fun, but he doesn't meddle in other people's business unless it interests him.

When they returned to the inn, the heroine Chu was still awake and was right outside Jiang Chao's room.

Upon seeing Jiang Chao, who was shirtless, the female knight-errant Chu blushed and immediately asked anxiously, "Jiang Qilin, you've been fighting again?"

Jiang Chao smiled and gestured for Miss Chu to come inside to talk.

With the door closed, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward as the man and woman were alone in the room.

Jiang Chao sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, looked at the female knight-errant Chu not far away, broke the atmosphere, and asked:

"Did Miss Ning need something from me?"

Chu, the heroine, originally only wanted to visit Jiang Chao, but for some reason, she had been feeling uneasy these past two days, especially after meeting Prince Nangong today, and that feeling had become stronger and stronger.

She planned to ask Jiang Qilin to see if he had any insights.

To everyone's surprise, after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered.

So, the heroine Chu waited outside the door.

This wait lasted for more than an hour.

Fortunately, the inn was booked by them for the night. In the strange words of the wealthy Jiang Qilin, "We've come all this way to the land of scholars, so we should at least do something for the local intellectuals. We might as well book the inn and spend a little more money to boost local consumption."

Chu Ning knew that although Jiang Qilin sometimes acted irrationally, he was not a fool, and he had his reasons for doing so.

So he didn't start mocking as usual.

After waiting for more than an hour, Chu Ning saw Jiang Qilin, who seemed to have returned from a great battle. He suppressed his worries and wanted to ask him something.

"Are you... are you alright?"

Seeing the other person staring intently at her, the female knight-errant couldn't help but feel flustered and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Qilin laughed and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired, and my clothes are torn."

He pointed to himself.

The female knight glanced at him quickly, her cheeks slightly flushed, "You should avoid using those martial arts techniques you've learned if possible, I'm afraid..."

Jiang Chao was taken aback. "What are you afraid of?"
