Watching Wu Er's departing figure, Su Wu, standing beside Liu Dashan, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Become!

My decision to work overtime yesterday has successfully changed the course of my life today!

He turned a seemingly hopeless situation around using a different method.

However, Su Wu knew in his heart that this was only a temporary measure.

Through questioning the fox demon, he learned about Chen Duo's collusion with demons.

To prevent future troubles, Chen Duo will definitely continue to find opportunities to test him.

During this period, I must find a way to become stronger quickly.

Only in this way can we face Wu Er and the others' next arrangements.

Feeling Su Wu relax beside him and watching Wu Er's departing figure, Liu Dashan turned and gave Su Wu a meaningful look.

"Young Su, it seems like you felt a weight lifted off your shoulders after seeing Wu Er leave?"

"Could it be that your decision to work overtime yesterday was intentional?"

When Liu Dashan asked him a question, Su Wu smiled and replied.

"Uncle Liu, what are you saying?"

"It's just that seeing my superior leave relieved the tension and pressure in my heart."

Hearing Su Wu's reply, Liu Dashan reached out and gently patted Su Wu's shoulder.

"Hey kid, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

"Wu Er is just a shackle-bearer; he's not worth your attention."

"Back in the day, your father..."

At this point, Liu Dashan glanced at Su Wu, who was looking at him with some confusion, and then stopped.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

"I'll continue by showing you the procedures for the other town jailers."

Seeing Liu Dashan's state, Su Wu's curiosity was piqued.

My own father, who was a jailer in the town back then, seems to have other secrets?

"Uncle Liu, what did you just say about my father?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I didn't say anything."

"You said it."

"Did I? I forgot."

……

"Lord Prisoner, Su Wu went crazy last night, yelling about something glowing and radiating heat, and ended up working an extra shift."

"I went to see him today, but he hadn't finished get off work yet."

Inside the office, Wu Er bowed and reported to Chen Duo, who was behind the desk in front of him.

Listening to Wu Er's report, even the well-informed Chen Duo couldn't help but frown slightly and rub his temples.

"Wait, is this kid really that serious about this job?"

"You're already offering yourself up right from the start?"

Chen Duo's original plan was to first call Su Wu over to submit his report, and then take the opportunity to test Su Wu.

It seems that this matter cannot be accomplished today.

"Why isn't this kid playing by the rules?"

Seeing that even Chen Duo was having some trouble, Wu Er on the other side tentatively spoke to Chen Duo.

"Prison Secretary Chen, what about our original plan..."

"Cancel." Chen Duo waved his hand directly at Wu Er.

"There are many eyes and ears in the Demon Suppression Prison; it's not just us."

"Su Wu is on two shifts, and there are so many jailers watching him. If we forcibly transfer him to cell D at this time, and something happens then, it will be easy to arouse suspicion."

"We can't afford to be targeted by the Demon Suppression Division because of a small fry."

Wu Er hesitated as he listened to Chen Duo's instructions.

"But Sir, cell number D only has today for escorting prisoners. If we miss today, who knows how long we'll have to wait..."

"Did I tell you to cancel? Are you deaf?" Before Wu Er could finish speaking, Chen Duo's face already showed displeasure.

"He's just a lowly pawn who just got into jail. What difference does it make when he dies? Why pick these last few days?"

At this point, Chen Duo seemed to realize that his attitude was also a bit problematic. He took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down.

"Don't worry, when you ask Su Wu to submit his report again tomorrow, come to my office. I will test him personally."

"After that, we wanted to get rid of him; we'd just find another opportunity."

"The Demon Suppression Prison is no good place; there will be plenty of opportunities to make a move against him."

Hearing Chen Duo's instructions and seeing the anger still lingering on his face, Wu Er nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Yes, sir!"

……

On Su Wu's side, after another six hours of duty, he finally got to leave the office for the first time in his life.

Before the yamen was opened, Liu Dashan specifically pulled Su Wu aside and spoke to him.

"Su boy, you're not allowed to cause any trouble this time."

"My old bones and legs are too weak to keep you up all night again."

In response to Liu Dashan's instructions, Su Wu smiled and patted Liu Dashan on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Uncle Liu, I'm not made of iron. I'll only have to endure it once."

If he could simply change the timeline this time and avoid the Bull Demon crisis, that would be enough for Su Wu.

After returning, I will first collect the rewards from the Hundred Worlds Record, and then ask Liu Dashan to teach me the basic Demon Suppression Stance, taking this opportunity to improve my strength.

This way, even if the same crisis occurs again, at least some self-protection will be possible.

As Su Wu pondered, the group of jailers he had met the day before entered the cell to begin their shift change.

Upon seeing Su Wu and Liu Dashan, the prison guards greeted them with smiles.

"Old Liu, Su boy."

"I didn't expect that you two actually stayed in this Demon Suppression Prison for a full twelve hours."

"Wow, that's awesome!"

Faced with their praise, Liu Dashan smiled and joked with them.

"Not at all, it's just my small contribution to the cause of suppressing demons."

"Alright, now that you guys are here, I should take Su back to the yamen to rest and catch up on some sleep."

Faced with Liu Dashan's joke, the prison guards laughed and patted Liu Dashan on the shoulder.

"Alright, then you can go back first."

"Leave this place to us now."

Afterwards, the two groups officially handed over their duties, and Liu Dashan led Su Wu back to their dormitory.

Having escaped Wu Er and his group's trap, Su Wu, in high spirits, quickened his pace and walked in front of Liu Dashan.

He then stopped in front of their dormitory and instinctively reached for his keys.

Then he remembered that Liu Dashan had given him the key after he entered the dormitory, and he didn't seem to have a key yet.

Thinking of this, Su Wu reached out to Liu Dashan behind him somewhat embarrassedly.

"Um... Uncle Liu, the key."

However, when faced with Su Wu's outstretched hand, Liu Dashan seemed to be in a daze, standing behind him and looking at Su Wu with a strange expression.

"Hey Su, how did you know we live in this dorm room?"

"I don't think I've told you this before."

Hearing Liu Dashan's question, Su Wu's heart skipped a beat.

His outstretched hand froze for a moment.
