I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

She was new to this place and unfamiliar with the people and the land. Even if she had great skills, she wouldn't know where to start. If she could learn the details during the day, it would be a godsend for her.

"I can't say I know the whole story."

Bai took a sip of tea and, under the expectant gaze of the young girl, slowly began to speak: "I have only heard that the villain obtained a demonic weapon from somewhere. Perhaps he was influenced by that demonic weapon, which is why he committed violence against people."

"Demon weapon?"

They had a very pleasant conversation.

"Demon weapon... what is that?"

Although the girl didn't know much about it, she could tell from the name that it wasn't a good thing.

"A demon soldier."

Bai Zhou took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then explained to the girl:

“Long, long ago, after the true dragon drove out the gods and established the rightful ruler of the Yan Kingdom, a sage skilled in forging appeared on the land of the Yan Kingdom.”

"This immortal traveled throughout the Yan Kingdom, observing the terrain of mountains and rivers, and forged many divine weapons. Later, due to various reasons, these weapons fell from the immortal's hands and were scattered throughout the Yan Kingdom."

"However, divine weapons possess spirits. Some of them were obtained by virtuous and righteous people, and thus became legendary divine weapons by relying on the righteousness of their masters. Others were obtained by evil and villainous people, and were defiled by their black energy, transforming into various demonic weapons."

"The abilities of demonic weapons are bizarre, but they have one thing in common: they amplify the desires of their owners. If someone who obtains a demonic weapon is just an ordinary person who acts according to his own desires, such examples will occur after he is bewitched by the demonic weapon."

Ultimately, this is the fault of some careless immortal. She always casts so many things without any way to keep track of the quantities, and she always likes to travel around, never to return.

Those things were thus either buried in this land, turning into rusty iron, or picked up by wanderers for other uses.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai, for clearing up my doubts."

Just as Jingzhe was about to ask for more information, the waiter brought over the noodles she had ordered.

"Let's eat first."

"Um... well."

It's better to be quiet when making noodles.

On the day of Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects), I picked up my chopsticks and slowly slur

Bai Zhou smiled slightly and did not disturb her.

It will take some time to resolve this matter, and I won't be able to go back every day. I hope Xiaohuijie can accept the "care" from her two aunts with peace of mind.

……

"I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat anymore, Aunt Nian."

Xiao Huijie held the large bowl that was now only filled with soup, her face full of worry as she looked at the table full of dishes in front of her.

This is the second day I've eaten out with Aunt Nian. We ordered a lot of dishes every day, but she couldn't eat much, which felt like such a waste.

And I'll definitely get scolded by Aunt Xi when I get back... although it'll be Aunt Nian who gets scolded.

"Xiaobai told me before he left that if he came back and found that Xiaohuijie had lost weight, he would scold me."

Nian put down the half-eaten pork knuckle and looked at Xiao Huijie with a wronged expression.

But the sight of his mouth covered in oil was utterly comical.

"Besides, it's lunchtime now, so of course we should eat our fill. Dinner can be lighter, but lunch needs to be more oily. Good luck, Xiao Huijie, this pork knuckle is yours."

Nian picked up a braised pig's trotter and placed it on the plate in front of Xiao Huijie, then continued to deal with the chubby pork knuckle.

"...Ancestor, please come back soon."

Xiao Huijie ate the pig's trotters slowly with a bitter face, feeling extremely nostalgic for lunchtime when it was still daytime.

……

"Have you finished eating?"

"We've finished eating. Mr. Bai, do you know the background of that villain?"

Jingzhe took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and then tentatively asked Baizhou a question.

"I know a little about him. His name is Yan Chou, and he is from Baize Township in Liuquan Town. He got into trouble half a month ago when he had a dispute with his neighbor over the ownership of a peach tree. Before he saw blood, he used the demonic weapon as a woodcutter's knife, so it was only awakened after he used it to hurt people, which led him to commit the subsequent acts of injuring people and stealing their property."

"Mr. Bai...you...are really amazing."

Jingzhe looked at him in surprise.

She thought that getting the person's name and place of origin would be the best she could hope for, but she never expected Bai Zhou to be able to provide such detailed information.

"I only went to investigate Baize before you, Miss, out of curiosity."

During the day, he did go to the crime scene to investigate and also spoke with the witnesses.

"However, Yan Chou, wielding a demonic weapon, never killed a single person; he only injured their legs and arms. Even when he robbed them, he only took enough money to support them for a day..."

"Mr. Bai, do you mean... his crime is not serious?"

Bai Zhou chuckled softly, then waved to her and said:

"This is merely my humble opinion. As for how Yan Chou will be tried after he is brought to justice, that is a matter for the government."

Jingzhe pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and then said firmly, "Yan Chou did indeed injure people and rob the common people of their money. This is not a reason to clear his name by claiming he was bewitched by demon soldiers. I will capture him and sentence him strictly in accordance with the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty."

"Moreover, if he truly harbored good intentions, then the demonic weapon would be no different from an ordinary woodcutter's knife to him. The reason he used the weapon to injure people was not because of the demonic weapon, but because of his own thoughts. Since he acted voluntarily, he has already broken the law and committed a crime, which is unforgivable and will not be judged arbitrarily."

“Well said. Upholding justice and judging cases according to the law, Miss Jingzhe is indeed a person of integrity. It is a blessing for the people to have an official like her.”

Bai Zhou clapped his hands and sighed, praising her without reservation.

"Um...no, I'm not as good as Mr. Bai says."

Before she had even done anything, she was praised with exaggerated words, and two rosy blushes immediately rose on the girl's thin cheeks, and her beautiful tail swayed unnaturally.

"Well, it's getting late. Does Miss Jingzhe have anything else important to attend to?"

"Ah, it's already past 1 PM. Mr. Bai, I'll be going now. See you later."

After glancing at the large clock in the restaurant, the Qilin girl quickly bid farewell to Bai Zhou and got up to go to the yamen to hear the case.

"So energetic... It's so good to be young."

Seeing the girl leave in a hurry, Bai Zhou sighed as he slowly sipped his tea.

"Huh? Why did that customer leave?"

The shopkeeper who was passing by also saw Jingzhe leaving, and tried to call out to her.

"Waiter, I'll cover her meal expenses as well."

During the day, he called out to the waiter and paid the bill for the girl.

"Just consider it an investment."

"For the price of a meal, one can obtain a fair and just Minister of Justice."

Bai Zhou paid the bill, while Jing Zhe, who was rushing towards the yamen, suddenly remembered that he hadn't paid yet, so he hurriedly turned around and prepared to go back to pay.

The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review dined and dashed...

Suddenly, her phone rang with a message notification.

"Ah...it's Mr. Bai."

Upon opening her phone, the girl saw the message:

"My lord, I, Bai, have paid for the meal for the young lady. I sincerely admire your strict enforcement of the law, but as a commoner, I am of no help to you in any way, so I can only offer this small token of my appreciation."

I hope that you will not forget your original aspirations in your future career. This would be the best reward for me.

"Well……"

After reading the message, the young woman smiled gently, then replied with a serious expression: "Please rest assured, Mr. Bai, I would never do anything that violates the law or the people. However, life is long, and if I ever make a mistake, I hope you will point it out to me."

A reply came immediately after the message was sent:

[I, Bai, am more than happy to oblige. However, I am a rough man, and my words may be somewhat vulgar. If I have offended anyone, I hope Lord Jingzhe will forgive me for the sake of this meal.]

"Mr. Bai is really interesting."

Although she wanted to continue chatting with him, Jingzhe remembered that she had a mission to complete, so she could only reply briefly: "I certainly won't blame you, sir. Jingzhe has other important matters to attend to, so I'll remain anonymous for now."

"Ding Dong"

[This journey may be dangerous, so I urge you to take care of yourself. If the enemy is cunning, we must use our wits to defeat them. I will not trouble you any longer. My dear Jingzhe, may you take care.]

After reading the message, Jingzhe lowered her eyebrows slightly and quickly sent a reply with her fingertips.

【ＯＫ(ゝω?'★)】

Back to Victoria's Secret 66... ​​no, Victoria's Secret is close to Chen Huijie

"Hello, Chen Huijie."

After class, the little tiger with its fluffy golden fur stood tall and proud in front of the baby dragon.

"Schwaiya? Is something the matter?"

The young dragon was fairly familiar with the little tiger in front of her, who exuded an air of nobility. Thanks to their elders, they weren't exactly best friends, but they could certainly be considered childhood sweethearts.

"Come with me to the supermarket."

Although it was said to be accompanying him, in the young dragon's eyes, the little tiger's words sounded like an order, or a favor, but definitely not a request.

"No."

So, the young dragon rejected her under the smug gaze of the little tiger.

"Sigh! Chen Huijie, how dare you defy me, who possesses Lungmen Dollars! Not bad. You're worthy of being the person I've set my sights on. Since that's the case, I'll give you an extra bag of crispy biscuits when I buy them later."

The tiger cub, after being rejected, instead gave off an expression that said, "I admire you."

"Stop fooling around, I don't have time to play house with you, Swire."

The young dragon took out a set of exercises and picked up a pen to do a few questions.

"High school is almost over, I need to work harder."

"Sigh, are your family members pressuring you like this?"
