The most ruthless person in the Demon Suppression Division

It's no wonder that Lü Tao questioned Xu Ye like that.

In Baiyun County, there are quite a few powerful individuals.

Moreover, people as young as Xu Ye who have already reached the ninth level of the Meridian Opening stage are mostly well-known.

But he had never seen or heard of Xu Ye, which made him suspicious.

Xu Ye's expression changed upon sensing the overwhelming aura emanating from Lü Tao.

However, he didn't panic; he was just about to say something.

At this moment, the older member of the Demon Suppression Division said, "Alright, Lü Tao, questioning is one thing, but interrogating a criminal is another."

Upon hearing this, Lü Tao chuckled and withdrew his overwhelming aura, saying, "It's not that I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, but this kid is indeed a bit strange, and we have to be careful about this kind of thing."

Du Yuanxiu nodded and said, "Alright, you check if the information about this cat demon matches first, leave this to me."

Lu Tao nodded, but his gaze toward Xu Ye remained scrutinizing.

At this moment, Du Yuanxiu looked at Xu Ye and asked, "Your surname is Xu?"

Those three simple words made Xu Ye's expression change: "Does Your Excellency know me?"

He didn't recognize the person in front of him.

How could this person know him?

Upon hearing this, Du Yuanxiu took a deep breath and asked again, "Your name is Xu Ye?"

boom!

Upon hearing this, Xu Ye was completely dumbfounded.

The other party actually knew his name?

But he had never seen the person in front of him before.

Just as Xu Ye was about to ask, Du Yuanxiu realized that he had guessed pretty much right.

He immediately took a breath and said, "My name is Du Yuanxiu. Your father should have told you about me."

Du Yuanxiu!

Upon hearing this name, Xu Ye immediately recalled what his father had told him before.

His father had told him that he had a good friend in the Demon Suppression Division.

The two often went on missions together; his name was Du Yuanxiu.

Because of the Demon Suppression Division, he had only heard his father talk about this person and had never actually met him.

He never expected to meet his father's good friend from the Demon Suppression Division in this place.

"Are you Uncle Du?" Xu Ye quickly asked.

Having confirmed his suspicions, Du Yuanxiu's expression softened immediately. "I didn't expect you to have grown so much."

At that moment, Lü Tao, having finished examining the cat demon, also came up, looking at Xu Ye in surprise, and said, "Boss Du, this kid is Old Xu's son?"

Clearly, he was also Xu Ye's father's colleague, and they knew each other.

"That's right!" Du Yuanxiu nodded slightly.

Lu Tao stared wide-eyed at Xu Ye. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?

He carefully examined Xu Ye before saying, "I was wondering why this kid looked so familiar; he really does look a lot like Old Xu."

Du Yuanxiu did not respond to his words.

Instead, he looked at Xu Ye, and after a moment, asked, "Has Old Xu's matter been resolved?"

Xu Ye regained his composure and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Du. It's been resolved."

Du Yuanxiu nodded slightly, then said with guilt, "I was on a mission when he had this accident, so I couldn't come back to see him one last time."

Hearing this, Xu Ye shook his head and said, "Uncle Du, my father understands you."

Du Yuanxiu nodded and sighed, "That's true. Someone as easygoing as him would surely understand. I just never imagined that one mission would lead to our never seeing each other again."

Those in their line of work will inevitably face this day sooner or later.

He still couldn't quite let go of the loss of his old friend.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ye did not want to bring up the matter again and shook his head, saying, "Uncle Du, all of that is in the past."

Hearing this, Du Yuanxiu nodded tactfully, then changed the subject, glancing around at the surroundings, and asked, "Did you do all this?"

Xu Ye nodded slightly, without denying it.

Lu Tao looked at Xu Ye and said, "Didn't Old Xu say that you were born with blocked martial meridians and couldn't cultivate? How do you have such strength?"

Upon hearing this, Du Yuanxiu also looked at Xu Ye with curiosity.

At the same time, I was also somewhat wary.

In this chaotic world of demons, anything can happen.

He didn't want his old friend's descendants to go too far astray and go astray.

Xu Ye understood what the two meant and smiled as he repeated the reason he had already prepared.

It's actually quite simple. His father made him pretend to be weak while actually being strong, and he's been deliberately hiding his true abilities all these years.

After he finished speaking, Lü Tao's eyes widened and he said, "You mean, Old Xu deliberately made you hide your strength?"

Xu Ye nodded; that was all he could say for now.

"Old Xu is a steady person. In this chaotic world, the more ordinary you appear, the safer you are. He does this very well." Du Yuanxiu strongly agreed with Xu Ye's words.

Lu Tao nodded, then looked around and pointed to the corpses of the Qingquan Gang scattered on the ground, asking, "What happened to all of these?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ye did not hide anything and told the whole story.

When he heard that Xu Ye had been threatened by the Su family to sell his pardon order...

Both of them looked grim.

"The Su family is utterly despicable. They even bully the descendants of meritorious officials. It's outrageous!" Lu Tao clenched his fists, clearly furious.

But he only cursed, because there was nothing he could do about it.

And this is not the only case in Baiyun County.

They couldn't stop it either.

"So the Su family is crossing the river and then burning the bridge?" Du Yuanxiu clenched and unclenched his fists.

He was also deeply saddened to hear that his old friend's descendants were being bullied like this.

But before Xu Ye could finish speaking, he had already guessed the general idea.

"Hmm!" Xu Ye nodded slightly and recounted what the Qingquan Gang had done and the cat demon's affairs.

After listening, Du Yuanxiu and Lü Tao stared blankly at Xu Ye.

Just because someone hit your sister.

You wiped out everyone in their hideout?

That's really ruthless!

However, he didn't think Xu Ye had done anything wrong.

It's truly unimaginable that such a young man could do something so ruthless.

"That's how it is. I originally planned to kill them and burn them to the ground, but I didn't expect to run into Uncle Du and you guys." Xu Ye spoke honestly at this moment.

Since he's my dad's good friend, his character must be impeccable, so there's nothing to hide.

Lu Tao said calmly, "We also sensed the demonic aura, which is why we rushed over."

Xu Ye nodded.

Du Yuanxiu understood Xu Ye's meaning, nodded slightly, and said, "The Qingquan Gang actually colluded with demons and harmed the people. Their crimes are heinous and they deserve to die. Leave this matter to us. We will take care of the aftermath and will definitely not implicate you."

Hearing this, Xu Ye was overjoyed; this was exactly what Du Yuanxiu wanted to hear.

really!

Dad's old friend is a good person.

Xu Ye immediately clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Uncle Du!"

Du Yuanxiu waved his hand slightly, "No need to thank me, this is what we should do."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for you, what are your plans for the future?"

Xu Ye smiled easily and said, "I don't have any plans. As long as my sister is happy and we're all still alive, that's enough."

Hearing this, both Du Yuanxiu and Lü Tao felt uneasy.

What a simple wish!

Unfortunately, in this chaotic world, it's probably too extravagant.
