The most ruthless person in the Demon Suppression Division

Thank you so much!

What they wanted was for Xu Ye to be extremely grateful!

Otherwise, wouldn't they just be waiting here for nothing?

Thinking this, Zhao Zhuorong laughed and said, "What are you saying, Lord Xu? We're all on the same side, there's no need for gratitude."

Lin Ziming chimed in, "That's right, we're all family now, brother-in-law, why are you being so formal?"

Seeing Zhao Zhuorong and Lin Ziming in such a state.

Zhao Heng and Lin Yuyan both felt extremely ashamed.

I really want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

That's so embarrassing!

Xu Ye was also finding it difficult to cope.

Fortunately, Zhao Heng and Lin Yuyan were quick to pull the two away and prepare to leave.

Otherwise, Xu Ye really wouldn't be able to face it.

Before leaving, Zhao Zhuorong looked at Xu Ye and said, "Little Xu! From now on, we're all on the same side. If you need anything, just come to the county office to find me. I can't guarantee anything else, but in Baiyun County, I can still help you with anything, big or small."

Lin Ziming retorted, not to be outdone, "Brother-in-law, if you have something to say, just have Yuyan come and talk to me. Although my Lin family isn't an official family, we still have influence in Baiyun County."

Xu Ye clasped his hands slightly to indicate that he understood.

Thus, Zhao Heng and Lin Yuyan pulled the two away.

Xu Ye watched the two groups leave, shaking his head slightly, though the two people were a bit too enthusiastic.

However, for Xu Ye, this is a good thing.

A county magistrate of Baiyun County, and a family that is no less powerful than the Lin family.

They all extended a friendly attitude to him.

This indicates that he has begun to establish some connections within Baiyun County.

He might not need it.

But having these connections is naturally the best thing.

Thinking this, Xu Ye looked up at the sky. It was getting late, and he should go back to see his sister.

He then left the Demon Suppression Division.

……

On the other side, in the county government's carriage.

Zhao Zhuorong and his son Zhao Heng sat facing each other.

Zhao Zhuorong always had a smile on his face.

Zhao Heng had a stern face, clearly feeling uncomfortable. After a long silence, he finally couldn't help but break the silence.

"Father, why did you do this today?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhuorong paused, his smile fading slightly, and asked, "What are you referring to?"

Zhao Heng said, "We haven't been of any help at all, so why do we have to wait for Xu Ye to come out? Isn't that just embarrassing me?"

He went back to get reinforcements, already feeling guilty for being late.

Zhao Zhuorong insisted on waiting for Xu Ye to come out.

Isn't this embarrassing for him?

Zhao Heng was extremely puzzled.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhuorong chuckled and said, "Kid, you don't understand. You're here to help. What's the point if people don't know you've been here?"

"Since you're coming, you have to make sure people see you. Even if you can't help, you still have to make sure people know what's going on, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng was speechless for a moment, as he didn't understand these intricacies at all.

All he knew was that he hadn't been able to help.

But then he felt his father was right, and immediately said, "Even if what you say is right, Father, he already saw it before, so why did you have to say so much to him?"

"Bullshit!" Zhao Zhuorong slapped Zhao Heng on the head and said, "It's okay if people see it, but you still have to let them know what you did, otherwise how will they know you came to help him?"

"But we clearly didn't help at all." Zhao Heng was speechless; it was truly embarrassing.

"Whether you can help or not is not important. Just let people know that you are here to help," Zhao Zhuorong said with a smile.

"Why?" Zhao Heng asked, somewhat puzzled.

If we couldn't help, we couldn't help.

Why do we need people to know?

Zhao Zhuorong shook his head slightly, "Silly child, spend less time cultivating and more time going out to see the world!"

"The martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about understanding human relationships and social dynamics!"

As he spoke, he sighed slightly: "Look at that kid from the Lin family. If you could learn even a third of what he can, I, your old man, would be much more at ease."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng was speechless for a moment.

They compare themselves to others.

But he didn't refute it; he just sighed inwardly.

How am I supposed to face Xu Ye after this?!

How embarrassing!

……

Meanwhile, on the Lin family's carriage.

Lin Yuyan glared angrily at Lin Ziming, gritting her teeth as she said, "Lin Ziming, you'd better explain what happened today to me."

"What's wrong?" Lin Ziming asked, looking confused.

"Xu Ye and I are completely innocent. Why are you saying those things in front of him? How am I supposed to face him in the future?" Lin Yuyan glared at him, furious.

She's almost driven crazy today.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ziming smiled faintly and said dismissively, "Just because it's nothing now doesn't mean it won't be something in the future."

"And look! He's only eighteen and already at the Qi Control Realm, and he's even been noticed by the Green-Robed Demon Suppressor. His future is limitless. Marrying him is definitely a good deal!"

"I told you, my relationship with him is completely innocent!" Lin Yuyan glared angrily.

Lin Ziming raised his hands in surrender and said, "I understand, I understand."

Lin Yuyan then sat back down angrily.

At this moment, Lin Ziming said again, "However, I'm not saying this to be mean, but Yu Yan, you should also start cultivating properly. Look at you, you're not younger than Xu Ye, and he's already at the Qi Control Realm, while you're only at the Fifth Level of Meridian Opening. Compared to him, you're far behind."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuyan was speechless.

That's true.

She didn't refute that at all.

She was also very curious about how Xu Ye cultivated.

This is too outrageous.

However, she quickly regained her composure and said, "So what if he's worse? Why should I compare myself to him?"

She's not looking for a beating.

If you know you can't beat them, why bother trying?

Lin Ziming laughed and said, "Your cultivation is too slow, and you can't keep up with Xu Ye's pace. I'm afraid you're not good enough for him."

The next moment, a piercing scream erupted from the entire carriage.

"Lin! Zi! Mo!"

Accompanying the screams was Lin Ziming's scream of agony.

……

At this moment, Xu Ye had no idea that these things were happening.

He was carrying a pot of fine wine, had bought his sister's favorite roast duck, and had also cut a few ounces of braised meat on his way home.

He was in a great mood today and had to eat something nice and have a drink.

It was already dark when Xu Ye slowed down as he arrived at a street on a main road in the outer city.

The reason is simple: it's too quiet all around.

Having experienced so much, Xu Ye's vigilance had already increased several levels.

The unusual surroundings immediately made him look serious.

He walked to the side, put down what he was holding, and then gripped the hilt of his knife and looked around.

"Who is it? Show yourself!"

Xu Ye's voice faded, and the surroundings remained silent.

There was not a sound.

This is not normal.

Xu Ye frowned slightly, just as he was preparing for his next move.

Suddenly, Xu Ye's expression changed slightly, and he looked down at his feet.

boom!

With a loud bang, the ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded.

The next moment, a green vine, resembling a python, suddenly shot out from the ground and rushed straight towards Xu Ye.
