Chapter 24 - Chapter 24

Since Huangge Village was where Constable Zhao insisted on coming, he must be very familiar with the situation there. Thus, these "displaced people" who were drawn to Huangge Village by the Dragon Vein all cast their questioning gazes upon him.

As for Constable Zhao, to be honest, he was a bit bewildered at this moment how did the village suddenly have so many unfamiliar faces he didn't recognize after not visiting for a while?

Although Huangge Village was already filled with a large number of Zhuifeng Stockade members when Constable Zhao last came to invite Chu Wangyu out, at that time, the Zhuifeng Stockade members were new arrivals, and the villagers of Huangge Village were still worried that these fierce bandits would suddenly attack and harm people. Therefore, Chu Wangyu directly sent all the Zhuifeng Stockade members to cultivate the fields at that time. Thus, Constable Zhao did not see these people when he last came to Huangge Village.

Constable Zhao's expression was naturally noticed by the other "displaced people" in the group. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but ponder with some concern Constable Zhao, this fellow, why does he seem so unreliable?

Fortunately, though Constable Zhao was bewildered, he wasn't flustered. He quickly found the core of the problem—all the other trivial matters were secondary. The important thing was, Young Mr. Chu... no, it should be Mr. Chu, whether Mr. Chu was currently in Huangge Village was the key!

So, Constable Zhao stood up and walked towards an old man he had met a few times in Huangge Village, cupping his hands and asking, "Excuse me, elder, is Mr. Chu... still in Huangge Village?"

"He is! He is!" Seeing that Constable Zhao, usually so unapproachable, was actually speaking to him so kindly and politely, the old man immediately nodded repeatedly with great excitement, "Mr. Chu should still be in the private school... um... in Mr. Chu's words, it should be called 'preparing lessons' that's right, preparing lessons! Mr. Chu should still be preparing lessons in the private school!"

"Thank you, elder!" Constable Zhao let out a sigh of relief thank goodness! Thank goodness! Mr. Chu was still in the village, as long as Mr. Chu was still in Huangge Village, it meant that this incident had not yet escaped Mr. Chu's control

Constable Zhao, having spent some time with Chu Wangyu, had long understood Chu Wangyu's temperament. If this incident was truly so dangerous that even he couldn't resolve it, then the answer he just received from the elder would have been the news that Mr. Chu had long since disappeared.

Now that Chu Wangyu was still in Huangge Village, it meant that this incident was settled!

As for the old man Constable Zhao had questioned, he had originally planned to take this opportunity to chat a few more words with Constable Zhao, this important figure. However, before he could think of any topic, Constable Zhao had already rushed impatiently towards the private school.

The old man Constable Zhao had questioned clicked his tongue regretfully. However, as he watched Constable Zhao's hasty retreating figure, his eyes shifted slightly, and many snippets about "Constable Zhao and Young Mr. Chu's untold stories" flashed through his mind... "Mr. Chu! Mr. Chu!..."

Outside the private school, Constable Zhao excitedly called out to Chu Wangyu—in all the time he had known Chu Wangyu, he had never yearned to see Chu Wangyu's figure as much as he did now!

Previously, every time Constable Zhao met Chu Wangyu, it was because he wanted to use his power to resolve ghost and deity incidents. Therefore, over time, he naturally developed a strange sense of dread towards Huangge Village because every time he came to Huangge Village, it meant that another ghost and deity incident that urgently needed to be resolved had appeared in Hang City or the villages under its jurisdiction!

And if he didn't need to go to Huangge Village to invite Chu Wangyu, wouldn't that mean peace and tranquility prevailed?

So, sometimes, even deep down, Constable Zhao somewhat detested the bumpy path leading to Huangge Village.

Coupled with Chu Wangyu's personality, every time before going to the scene to deal with a demonic creature, he needed Constable Zhao to investigate all discoverable information about the creature, and then Chu Wangyu would decide whether or not to go demon slaying this, in Constable Zhao's opinion, was quite exasperating!

Which other Cultivator, when slaying demons, didn't personally investigate on site before deciding whether to act?

But you, on the other hand, made him, a weak, helpless, pitiful little constable who had just entered the lowest Realm of Cultivators, do the work that only great Cultivators should do... wasn't that making things difficult for him, Constable Zhao?

Fortunately, Constable Zhao later learned his lesson. If there was a tricky ghost and deity incident, he would first ask other Cultivators to scout it out. If they could solve it, he would let them solve it directly. If they truly couldn't solve it, he would then compile their findings and bring them back to Chu Wangyu, thus saving himself the danger of personally venturing into perilous situations.

However, sometimes, the information provided by other Cultivators was vague, and at those times, he, Constable Zhao, had to cautiously go into battle himself

Therefore, every time he went to Huangge Village to find Chu Wangyu to resolve a ghost and deity incident, it also meant that he, Constable Zhao, might have once again undertaken dangerous work that only great Cultivators would do. How could this not fill him with endless worries?

Moreover, to persuade the "deeply cautious" Chu Wangyu to go demon slaying, he first had to ensure everyone uniformly described the "demonic creature as weak," and only then would he invite Chu Wangyu out in short... inviting Chu Wangyu once to resolve a ghost and deity incident was an extremely complicated and major "project." From faking the danger level to coordinating the statements of ordinary people, every aspect had to be carefully considered. If any link in the chain broke, Chu Wangyu, that "scheming bastard," would definitely walk away!

This was also one of the reasons why Constable Zhao always felt helpless about going to Huangge Village to find Chu Wangyu.

However, if Constable Zhao knew that every time he reported a ghost and deity incident to Chu Wangyu, Chu Wangyu would take the little fox he kept with him to scout the incident location again, confirming that there were no creatures that could threaten his life before sneaking back to feign going out to slay demons... what would he think? And what made Constable Zhao even more exasperated was that no matter how dangerous a ghost and deity incident was, in Chu Wangyu's hands, it was just a matter of one sword strike seriously, since it could be solved with one sword strike anyway, why did you go through so much trouble and conduct so many flashy investigations before?

Sometimes, Constable Zhao felt that Chu Wangyu was making things difficult for him, Pang Hu um... no, he meant making things difficult for him, Constable Zhao!

However, compared to all the past instances, Constable Zhao, standing outside the private school once again, found that his state of mind in seeking Chu Wangyu this time was simply incomparable to before!

At this moment, he felt so fortunate, how reassuring it was to be able to see Mr. Chu again in Huangge Village!

"The door isn't locked, come in!"

Inside the private school, a familiar voice gently rang out, but to Constable Zhao's ears at this moment, it was like the Lingering Immortal Music from the Nine Heavens...
