75: I need a little help!

"County Magistrate!"

One of the servants guarding the Shen Mansion's gate recognized County Magistrate Zeng Fan and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hm!"

County Magistrate Zeng Fan responded, clearly pleased by their panicked expressions.

During the Shen family elder's birthday, County Magistrate Zeng Fan had been invited.

Therefore, most of the Shen Mansion's servants had seen his true face.

In the courtyard, Lu Xuan watched as the long-robed, faceless ghoul was incinerated into nothingness by Scarlet Flame.

Then, Lu Xuan's mind stirred, and the System panel appeared before him.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Inner Qi Realm (Major Achievement)

Cultivation Technique: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique 4/9 (Can be deduced), Wind Chasing Step 2/9 (Can be deduced)

Points: 443

Please confirm whether to spend 60 points to deduce Wind Chasing Step.

Please confirm whether to spend 100 points to deduce Scarlet Flame Saber Technique.

"What!"

Lu Xuan's previously calm expression was instantly startled by the points on the System panel.

Last night, his System points were only 43, and now they had suddenly increased to 443.

In other words, solving the Human-Faced Wraith brought Lu Xuan a full 400 System points.

This was merely a Li-level ghoul, and it brought him hundreds of System points; what if it were an E Level ghoul?

Or a Calamity-level ghoul?

Wouldn't that start at thousands of points? Lu Xuan thought of this, and his excitement was self-evident.

"Xiao Xuan!"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard gate; it was Shen Yunwei.

When he saw Lu Xuan suddenly run off, he followed him, chasing all the way from the Shen Mansion's side hall.

However, Lu Xuan's speed was too fast, and Shen Yunwei couldn't even catch a glimpse of his back.

Fortunately, while chasing Lu Xuan, Shen Yunwei encountered Shen Yuan and the others on the way.

Shen Yuan looked flustered, holding a bewildered Lu Qingqing in his arms.

It wasn't until Shen Yuan, in a panicked tone, uttered the words "Liu Yiwai."

Shen Yunwei's expression changed dramatically, and he galloped towards Shen Yuan's courtyard, leaving Shen Yuan and the others far behind.

Without much thought, Shen Yunwei quickly walked in from outside the courtyard gate.

He saw that the flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard were blown into disarray, and the clean ground was scattered with clumps of dirt.

On the other side of the courtyard, a large hole had been broken in the courtyard wall, and charred stones were piled on the ground.

Even now, Shen Yunwei could still smell the strong burnt odor in the air.

Shen Yunwei quickly walked to Lu Xuan's side and hastily said, "Xiao Xuan, what happened? I heard Yuan'er say..."

"Elder, it's nothing serious, just encountered a bit of a dirty thing, and I've already dealt with it."

Lu Xuan said calmly.

This time, he didn't hide anything from Shen Yunwei but spoke directly and without reservation.

However, what surprised Lu Xuan was that Shen Yunwei's reaction was not as astonished as he had imagined.

Shen Yunwei's old face showed emotion, as if hearing Lu Xuan mention such a dirty thing didn't shock him.

"Was it really Old Liu?"

"Alas, what a sin."

"I didn't expect that such dirty things still exist in Dengfeng County."

Shen Yunwei had heard of such dirty things when he was young.

However, what he didn't expect was that these dirty things would one day appear in his own mansion.

Shen Yunwei thought of Liu Yiwai's entire family, who had tragically died at the hands of such a dirty thing.

If Lu Xuan, Lu Qingqing's elder brother, hadn't happened to visit, his Shen Mansion would probably not have fared much better.

Swish! Swish!

The next moment, two more figures rushed in from outside the courtyard gate at high speed.

Those two were Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao.

When Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao saw Lu Xuan's face, they immediately clasped their fists and bowed.

"Senior!"

Then, Zhao Sheng scanned the scene in the courtyard, sensed that there was no Yin Qi present, and then spoke again.

"Senior, please forgive our impudence."

"Just now, Old Qian and I discovered an abnormality in the mansion, which is why we rashly intruded."

"Who are you?"

"Xiao Xuan, do you know them?"

Shen Yunwei's face showed confusion as he looked at Zhao Sheng and the others.

What a powerful Aura!

When Zhao Sheng and the two of them rushed in just now, they didn't conceal their Aura.

Huh!

Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao almost popped their eyeballs out when they heard Shen Yunwei's words!

Xiao Xuan?

This old man actually called the Senior in their eyes Xiao Xuan.

Could it be that they were mistaken, and this Senior was actually a young man?

Hiss!

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock!

The Senior looked to be only about twenty years old!

Tsk tsk, at the age of twenty, he already possessed strength more powerful than both of them.

Terrifying!

Then, Zhao Sheng acted very humbly, stepping forward and saying to Shen Yunwei, "Elder, we two have met Senior once before, and we are asking Senior for a favor."

After Zhao Sheng humbly explained their purpose, Shen Yunwei finally relaxed.

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

He had thought that these two unfamiliar Martial Artists, who had just intruded into the Shen Mansion, had come with ill intentions.

Seeing that the explanation was clear, Zhao Sheng quickly said to Lu Xuan, "Senior, then we two shall take our leave first."

"Old Qian and I will keep an eye on that thing; when it appears, we will come and inform you, Senior!"

Even though he knew Lu Xuan's true age, Zhao Sheng still dared not overstep.

Martial Artists respect strength!

The other party's strength was greater than both of theirs, so he was their Senior.

"No need!"

At this moment, Lu Xuan finally spoke.

"I have already dealt with that thing; you two no longer need to inform me in the future."

Ah?

Lu Xuan's sudden words instantly stunned Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao.

A few breaths later, Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao had understood Lu Xuan's meaning, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

"Senior, do you mean?"

"That Human-Faced Wraith has already been dealt with by you?"

"Could it be that Senior's action just now was to deal with the Human-Faced Wraith?"

Lu Xuan silently looked at Zhao Sheng and the two, then nodded, responding to them.

"Senior's Divine Ability is vast, and your compassion boundless. Old Qian and I, on behalf of the people of Dengfeng County, hereby express our gratitude for Senior's helping hand!"

After receiving Lu Xuan's confirmation, Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao clasped their fists, bowed a full one hundred eighty degrees, and heavily saluted Lu Xuan.

However, after they stood up, they still saw Lu Xuan staring at them.

Meeting Lu Xuan's dark gaze, Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao felt a sense of unease.

Lu Xuan's gaze was like a hungry wolf looking at a plump lamb.

Lu Xuan's lips curled slightly into an approachable smile, and he slowly began, "There's no need for thanks; I have a small difficulty that still requires the help of you two."

Just right, all the powerful medicinal ingredients on Lu Xuan had been consumed.

...

It's on the shelves. Thank you, dear readers!
