Chapter 140: Chapter 133: The Demon Suppression Deputy General, Completely Messed Up
"Ew—so sour!"
A moment later, Ai Qing and Chen Yang squatted under the shade of a tree, each gnawing on a segment of orange.
The sourness made their scalps tingle and their shoulders quiver uncontrollably.
But they still persevered, finishing off the oranges they had just bought.
Tossing the orange peels aside, Chen Yang spread his legs as if he had accomplished some arduous task, "Let's get back to business, what should we do about the assessment?"
"We've come all this way and barely encountered any demons or devils, it seems that Baihua County has a really nice environment."
Ai Qing said, "That newly appointed Governor must be quite competent."
"But we still have to complete the task given to us by the army chief, and sometimes you can't just look at the surface." Zhao Meiying seemed to be reminded of something.
She had spent over a hundred years in the Demon Suppression Army and had experienced countless events.
She remembered one city.
On the surface, it seemed calm, but behind the scenes, the Demon Suppression Bureau was colluding with powerful demons and devils.
The city exchanged its population for temporary peace, which eventually led to disaster.
"Whether it's a mule or a horse, you'll only know once you take it for a spin," Zhao Meiying said seriously, shaking her head.
"That's true," Chen Yang and Ai Qing nodded in agreement.
"However, we can't go overboard with this matter, after all, Li Daoxuan is officially my grandnephew," Zhao Meiying said with a smile, but the thought of the young man being gone made the smile on her face seem somewhat forlorn.
"After all these years, you still haven't let go, Master," Chen Yang said emotionally.
The previous Deputy Governor, Shen Zheng.
He was Li Daoxuan's mentor and Zhao Meiying's senior brother by mentor-student relationship.
Shen Zheng had disappeared for over a hundred years, yet Zhao Meiying never gave up and continued to search everywhere.
"No matter what, we have to see him in life or find his body in death," Zhao Meiying declared determinedly.
After annihilating the Hong Family,
Su Heng took the time to complete the remaining two secret techniques, making them available for the Demon Suppression Bureau members to practice.
With the Domineering Dragon Secret Method fully integrated and the Five Elements generating each other, the difficulty of cultivation was greatly reduced. In more than a month, many elders and disciples of the Demon Suppression Bureau had gained insight and made progress in their cultivation. The girl sitting beside Su Li was one of them.
Her name was Zhao Jinling.
However, she was not one of the elders but one of the two remaining Deputy Governors.
Among the original seven Deputy Governors of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Zhao Jinling was the youngest and undoubtedly the weakest in terms of strength.
On the night of the surprise attack on the Hong Family fort, Li Daoxuan had specially reassigned her.
By the time Zhao Jinling got the news from a demon and hurried back to provide support, everything was already settled.
Upon hearing of Li Daoxuan's death,
She first felt pain and confusion, but after learning that the Sky Demon Alliance and the two major families had been destroyed overnight,
Zhao Jinling was deeply shocked; she had to confirm repeatedly before she could slowly accept the news.
And as for the new Governor, Su Heng,
Zhao Jinling's admiration for him was beyond words.
Unfortunately, Su Heng had been in seclusion, cultivating hard, and Zhao Jinling had yet to have the chance to meet him in person.
"Sister Su Li..." Zhao Jinling clung to Su Li's arm and swayed it back and forth, pleading in a coquettish tone, "Tell me again, what does your brother look like, what funny things did he do when he was little?"
Su Li was so shaken by Zhao Jinling that she nearly poured tea up her nose.
"Haven't I already told you many times?" Su Li gently set down the teacup, somewhat speechless.
"I still want to hear it again..."
"What kind of person do you think he should be?" Su Li, unable to bear further pestering, decided to turn the tables.
"He must be the kind with very fair skin, long hair, and always wearing a profound and inscrutable smile. Sitting in a rocking chair reading a book, without stepping outside, he could grasp the whole situation," Zhao Jinling spoke, gesturing over her own body as she did.
