Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 73 - 72: A Generation of Poisonous Milk Xun Xiaoxian

Chapter 73: Chapter 72: A Generation of Poisonous Milk Xun Xiaoxian

Two hours later, Chen Guangsheng returned to Hechong Village and happened to see Yuchi fishing for shrimp by the river.

The crayfish, each as big as a palm, are not eaten because there’s a fear they grew by feeding on floating corpses.

Before Yuchi could even ask, Chen Guangsheng’s expression revealed a sense of "so that’s how it is."

"Nephew, the Demon-slaying Bureau has already discovered them in advance."

Yuchi turned to look at Chen Guangsheng, unable to understand what he meant for a moment.

The Demon-slaying Bureau?

Logically speaking, the Demon-slaying Bureau shouldn’t be here.

Isn’t the Demon-slaying Bureau supposed to chop down demons?

Yuchi was confused, "Uncle Chen, I don’t understand what you mean?"

"Come with me, Xun Xian is already waiting for you over there."

"Or..."

"Everyone is waiting for you to go there."

...

About three hundred miles from Hechong Village, outside a small village, appeared a dozen or so soldiers dressed in black.

On their chests, a golden mark with the word "Slay" could be seen, and each had a nine-ringed saber at their waist.

Why tie such silver rings to the back of the blade?

It’s not due to a fetish or sadism, but for two reasons.

First, the silver rings increase the damage when cutting, adding momentum layer by layer onto the blade.

Second, this nine-ringed saber makes a clinking sound when attacking others.

So equipped with such a saber, it’s almost impossible to launch a sneak attack.

Thus, the nine-ringed saber carries an air of righteousness, clearly indicating that they prefer direct combat and don’t like missionaries.

"You came just in time; otherwise, we would’ve acted by now."

A man in black spoke gloomily; he had high cheekbones, a small mouth, eyes like mung beans, and a hawk-like face.

Cheekbones devoid of flesh, surely a ruthless person.

"They are people from the merchants’ guild; regardless of their current form, we need to adhere to the president’s orders."

Xun Xian calmly replied.

She looked at the hundreds of people trapped in a village, their legs completely bound by chains.

Completely looking like prisoners.

"People from the merchants’ guild? What’s his name?"

"Yuchi."

"How old is he?"

"Seventeen or eighteen?"

"Oh."

The man arrogantly lifted his chin and glanced at Xun Xian, "Has your Defense Department already fallen to protecting such a person?"

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old president of the merchants’ guild?

Hahaha, saying it aloud is simply laughable.

A group of old folks can’t even handle a youngster? That’s truly laughable trash.

"If you can talk, say more; if you can’t, don’t speak at all." Xun Xian coldly replied.

"Haha."

The man sneered at Xun Xian, "I always thought you were a very indifferent person, yet I didn’t know you were swayed by a mortal and even listened to him?"

"You’ve disappointed me."

The man, holding the nine-ringed saber, spoke with a tone filled with sadness.

"Get lost, don’t pull this trick on me. If the Defense Department doesn’t step up, where will the tax silver come from, and who will pay your salary?"

"Can silver just fall from the sky?"

"Is that how you speak to your benefactor?" Xun Xian coldly retorted.

"I didn’t mean that, but protecting such ordinary people shouldn’t be your job."

"You should be solving county office cases in the Defense Department, not staying around these useless folks."

"Or are you planning to retire from martial arts and enjoy a peaceful life beside this so-called president?"

The man said sarcastically.

A villager emerged from the haystack, trying to escape, but the man merely tapped his toe on the ground.

A pebble instantly shattered the villager’s knees.

Accompanied by the villager’s agonizing screams, he was chained up like a dead dog.

"How I choose is my own business, not yours!"

Xun Xian calmly looked at the villager’s screaming form.

Turning her head, she scanned the man’s masculine face, "Mind your own business, and don’t make me disgusted with such a display."

The Demon-slaying Bureau, ha!

"Alright, you’re truly the same Xun girl I once knew."

"The patrols are formidable, with even a sharp personality." The man was indifferent.

...

At this time, Yuchi was on horseback on his way.

...

The man whispered a few words to his subordinate and nodded as he watched the subordinate go about their business.

He looked at the composed Xun Xian and then asked, "Are Celestial Capital Department’s people involved too?"

In the man’s impression, the Celestial Capital Department was a group of extremely proud individuals.

Their Demon-slaying Bureau’s relationship with the Celestial Capital Department was average, but he didn’t expect the Celestial Capital Department to protect this seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy?

Oh, should I say "president"? Hahaha.

"Are you sick? The Defense Department can protect the president of a merchants’ guild, but the Celestial Capital Department can’t?"

"According to you, does the Defense Department specialize in doing such things?"

"After hearing about the Celestial Capital Department’s involvement, did you start treating this seriously?"

Xun Xian directly exposed him.

The man laughed, not directly refuting Xun Xian’s words; he only squinted at the cowering villagers.

"Regardless of what you and I say, aside from us in the Demon-slaying Bureau, only the Celestial Capital Department’s people are the fiercest."

"They were never supposed to get involved in such matters."

"Unless this so-called president has some backing."

"Could this president be the illegitimate child of some big shot?"

"You know this as well."

"They play rather sophisticated games."

The man deduced according to his logic.

Xun Xian muttered to herself, "I admit Yuchi and Wei Qingzhu play sophisticated games, but what does that have to do with you."

Clearly, Xun Xian couldn’t get past this hurdle.

"What exactly are you trying to express?" Xun Xian looked up and down at the man.

"I don’t know, but since the Celestial Capital Department is involved, we’ll definitely give face to both of your institutions."

"You must know that we in the Demon-slaying Bureau have the right to act first and report later in such matters."

"I didn’t expect to encounter you here; I can only say, the due face will be given."

Xun Xian was speechless at this man, acting as if it’s charity.

Truly, if you have guts, just kill these villagers right now.

Why put on such a pretense?

Do you really believe Demon-slaying Bureau is invincible?

"I was just telling Yuchi that people from the Demon-slaying Bureau are loyal and righteous, and they act like this?" Xun Xian ridiculed.

She seriously wondered if she was Poisonous Milk.

Initially, she praised Yuchi, saying she started liking Yuchi, but Yuchi ended up playing with his sister.

Then praised the Celestial Capital Department’s people, saying they’re not bad, but they drove her out of Xufu Town.

A few days ago, she praised the Demon-slaying Bureau’s people, and now they’re sarcastic right beside her.

Damn.

Can things just happen like this!

The man didn’t know Xun Xian’s thoughts, he just spoke in an orderly manner.

"We in the Demon-slaying Bureau are indeed loyal and righteous, but only to those within our own bureau."

"If Miss Xun wants to come to our Demon-slaying Bureau in the future, I can refer you to take the basic assessment."

"I believe with Miss Xun’s cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage, you can surely pass the basic assessment."

Xun Xian stared blankly, "Did your ancestors turn into human scorpions? So venomous with words?"

"Isn’t it? They’ve been dead for many years." The man replied calmly.

"...Alright." Xun Xian was speechless.

"Then would you be my relative, I’d be delighted?" The man asked with a smile.

"Get lost." Xun Xian coldly replied.

The man acted as if he didn’t hear.

He smiled and said, "A friendly reminder."

"I heard there’s some war activity in the Sixth State, unsure if it will spread."

"War activity?"

Xun Xian was indifferent, "The Sixth State is more than ten thousand miles away from us, with natural barriers too; the war won’t spread here."

"Who knows?" The man pursed his lips.

"I know." Xun Xian replied, "If I say it won’t, it won’t."

The nine provinces are vast, the Sixth State is far from the Fifth State, let alone their Third State.

What kind of war can reach here?

The common people here have no opportunity for resistance.

The two spoke calmly.

And at this time, Yuchi was still on horseback on his way.
