105: Lucy's thoughts

Jinlu City hadn't expected a Demon Suppressing Envoy to suddenly appear halfway through.

And seeing the arrogant manner of this person, Jinlu City was intimidated for a moment.

Demon Suppressing Envoys in the Great Lan Dynasty were basically in a league of their own. After all, Divine Soul Cultivation was incredibly difficult, and it was easy for some exceptional talents to emerge from it. Therefore, Demon Suppressing Envoys also took great care of each other. As long as one could join this group, there would basically be no major changes.

It was no exaggeration to say that they would enjoy a lifetime of wealth and freedom from worry.

Jinlu City pondered repeatedly.

The expression on his face was also unpredictable.

But soon, Jinlu City still made his choice.

His original reason was untenable; he could only act decisively, but he didn't expect Jiang Chen to stop him.

If Jiang Chen were to mobilize the power of the Demon Suppressing Envoys behind him to investigate and hold him accountable afterward, he would definitely not have an easy time.

Since Jiang Chen's background was still unclear, it was better to stabilize the situation first.

Anyway, there were plenty of opportunities.

With Chu Yun's merits, she still had a long way to go to be promoted to Deputy Commander. Let alone Deputy Commander, he could even obstruct her promotion to Centurion if he wanted to.

Therefore, Jinlu City had made up his mind.

Jinlu City's expression remained unchanged as he laughed heartily.

"Haha, everyone, there's no need to be nervous."

"Just now, I was merely joking with everyone."

"After all, the imperial court has entrusted such an important task to our Holy Martial Bureau, so we naturally must be loyal to our duties and not be perfunctory."

"Commander Chu's merits must naturally be recorded."

"Congratulations, Commander Chu! You will surely be promoted to Centurion before long."

Jinlu City said with a smile, but only Jinlu City himself knew how much malice was hidden within that smile.

However, when Jiang Chen saw the other party's performance, he decided in his heart to kill him.

Such a person, capable of bending and stretching, would definitely be difficult to deal with in the future.

To prevent this person from causing trouble later, if there was an opportunity, it was better to kill him directly first.

Even if there was no opportunity, he had to work hard to create one.

"Oh, right, Lord Li... I'll trouble you to organize all the merit records from the past month. This subordinate needs to take them for verification. In addition, all future merit records will also be handed over to the Holy Martial Bureau for specialized responsibility."

Jinlu City didn't hold back and directly demanded the records for an entire month.

He figured that even if there was nothing, he would surely find something.

Some things are indeed difficult to define. At this time, it depends on how the verifier judges. If he says you are real, then you are real.

If he says you are fake, then no matter how real you are, it will be useless.

Just like the head of Celestial Bone Daoist.

"No problem."

Li Tianheng nodded faintly. If he didn't dare to hand them over, it would only prove that he had something to hide. The interpretation of the contents was entirely up to how the other party decided to act.

Just as Jinlu City was about to leave.

He suddenly paused.

His gaze turned to Chu Yun.

"Oh, right, Commander Chu, since this Celestial Bone Daoist was slain by you."

"Then Celestial Bone Daoist's Storage Ring should be in your hands, right?"

"Although it's inevitable for the Demon Slayer Guard to line their own pockets, this Celestial Bone Daoist is a major wanted criminal. Please hand over his Magic Treasure so that we can find more clues about the Wuzui Sect."

Jinlu City extended his hand and said.

Lu Qian frowned.

According to the rules of their Demon Slayer Guard, whoever kills a person, the Storage Ring belongs to them. When did it become lining one's own pockets?

Of course, if a Storage Ring contained important clues, it would naturally be handed over.

Jinlu City's words were aimed at all of them.

However, Chu Yun did not confront him on this matter.

It seemed Jiang Chen had anticipated this, as he had already slipped Celestial Bone Daoist's Storage Ring to her in advance.

Of course, Jiang Chen had already transferred the good things inside.

If others wanted to transfer items within a Storage Ring.

They would need to take the items out of the Storage Ring and then put them into a new Storage Ring.

But Jiang Chen didn't need to.

He had a System space; he could just put them in directly.

However, since this guy was so arrogant, Jiang Chen was considering whether to have the martial arts puppet make a trip tonight.

Chu Yun tossed the Storage Ring to Jinlu City.

Jinlu City didn't even inspect it; he merely did it to spite Chu Yun and Jiang Chen.

As Jinlu City and the others left, everyone finally smiled, gathering around Jiang Chen and giving him a thumbs-up.

"Brother, you're my brother from now on!"

"So awesome! Did you see that Jin Dog's face just now? It was as if he had swallowed two pounds of excrement!"

"It has to be our Brother Chen!"

The three Centurions also stepped forward and teased him.

Of course, they were also utterly impressed with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was definitely the first to dare to directly confront the Holy Martial Bureau like this.

Jinlu City himself probably wondered how a Demon Suppressing Envoy had suddenly appeared.

"Hah, what's this? That guy is just wearing an official robe. If you strip him of that skin, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."

Jiang Chen said.

Chu Yun's eyes kept glancing at Jiang Chen.

She seemed to be contemplating how to thank Jiang Chen.

She naturally knew that Jiang Chen had stepped forward for her sake.

Otherwise, with Jiang Chen's personality, he would definitely not be so reckless.

"Alright, only say these words in front of our own people. Jinlu City is, after all, the Vice Director of the Holy Martial Bureau. If others hear it, it will inevitably lead to trouble."

Lu Qian reminded them.

Everyone then restrained themselves.

"Don't worry, all your missions were assigned by me. If Jinlu City dares to act recklessly, I'll report him to the City Lord."

Li Tianheng also spoke, reassuring everyone.

"Thank you, sir..."

"Thank you, sir..."

Afterward, everyone returned to their respective barracks to rest. This place, as a former transit station, had quite a few living quarters.

Ordinary soldiers naturally lived in multi-person tents, but Chu Yun and the others had their own small rooms.

Before everyone had dispersed far, Chu Yun eagerly pulled Jiang Chen into her room.

"Little Brother Chen, you performed really well."

"Let older sister reward you properly."

Chu Yun, without explanation, pushed Jiang Chen to sit on a chair.

Then, with a seductive glance, she tied up her hair.

"That's not tied well."

"I'll tie it."

Lu Qian's room was next to Chu Yun's. After all, there should be a slight distinction between men and women, and living closer made it easier to look after each other.

With Lu Qian's cultivation, although Chu Yun deliberately suppressed her voice, with only a wall separating them, she could hear everything clearly.

"These kids nowadays, they don't even avoid people."

Lu Qian's cheeks flushed, and she drank several sips of water to calm herself down.

She felt somewhat restless in her room.

She then simply went to the courtyard and practiced her Saber Technique.

However, with her thoughts in disarray at this moment, how could she possibly practice her Saber Technique?

"Anyway, no one knows, so what if I listen?"

"They're not ashamed of what they're shouting, so what's wrong with me listening?"

Thinking this, Lu Qian openly returned to her room.

After a long while, she sighed softly, wondering which man her body would benefit in the future.

In her mind, she recalled the scene of Jiang Chen descending from the sky, striking down the demon with a single punch, and rescuing her from danger.

For a moment, that figure lingered in her mind, unable to be dispelled.
