Nanyu Prefecture.

On the street, cars and horses glittered, and people flowed like weaving. The hustling of merchants filled the air, seemingly unaffected by the chaos of war.

A group of people walked on the street, attracting the attention of passers-by.

It was not because of anything else but the diverse composition of the team.

There were two monks, one fat and one thin. The thin monk looked highly respected, while the fat monk occasionally stole glimpses at passing beauties.

There was also a man and a woman. The man had a handsome face and an upright figure; the woman was breathtakingly beautiful with an air of heroism, her face radiant. Her rosy lips exuded an imposing air.

“As expected, Nanyu Prefecture is indeed the richest place in Jiangnan. It truly lives up to its reputation. This is my first time here. The size of the market here is unparalleled even by that of Xia’s Capital,” Yu Qinghan said as she looked at the bustling street, her eyes filled with curiosity.

“The geographical location is good. It’s like living off the blessings of nature. This time, I plan to bring some capable people to Xia’s Capital. On the one hand, it’s to prepare to resist the netherworld. At the same time, I want to focus on the north,” Zhao Huai explained.

Monk Fu Hu clasped his hands together and said, “Amitabha, the common people in Yan Country live and work in peace and happiness, free from the troubles of the border. It is a great blessing indeed. If everyone in the world could be like this, how wonderful would that be?”

Monk Cang Long remained silent, his calm eyes looking at the tiles of the eaves in the distance, as if something was happening.

“Stop, thief!” A cold voice called from the rooftop.

A petite figure suddenly appeared on the roof, a young girl in the clothes of a government officer. Slim and delicate, fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, her beautiful face held an icy, stern expression.

In front of her was a man in a gray robe who looked miserable. As he ran, he cried, “Miss, I had no choice but to come to Nanyu Prefecture. The north is in chaos, with demons running rampant. Please let me go, am I not pitiful enough?”

“For a smuggler, you speak so elegantly. There are procedures to enter the city, especially for cultivators like you who need strict supervision. Who knows if you are a spy sent by the Devil Sect?” The young girl snorted coldly, showing no sympathy for the man’s pleas.

Her light blue figure, as graceful as a fledgling swallow, cast a magic spell, forming a palm seal which struck the man and knocked him to the ground. He was a cultivator in the Initiation Realm. 𝓯𝘳𝘦𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝓬𝘰𝑚

In no time, the man was tied up on the roof. Just as she was about to take him to the government office, she heard a familiar voice calling her.

“At such a young age, you act so efficiently and decisively, with impressive cultivation. It’s not easy.” Even though the voice contained praise, the girl did not like being evaluated by others. Just as she was about to retort, she saw a familiar figure standing in the middle of the street, which sent a shudder through her heart and made her exclaim:

“Master Lord?!”

“Yuer, it’s been a long time,” Zhao Huai said, smiling and looking at Shen Yuer, the surprised girl on the roof.

Shen Yuer was the girl he saved from Snake Coiling Mountain. He noticed her good qualifications and took her as his disciple.

Five years had passed, and he didn’t expect her cultivation to have already reached the Initiation Stage. Her talent was even higher than he had originally estimated.

“Master Lord, you’re back!” Shen Yuer looked at Zhao Huai, her eyes curved into crescents, and when she smiled, shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.

She immediately hung the criminal on the roof beam, leapt down, and met Zhao Huai.

Noticing the dignified woman beside Zhao Huai, she carefully bowed, saying, “Disciple greets Madam.”

Yu Qinghan did not put on airs, and helped her up with a smile, her eyes appraising, “It’s been five years since we last met. You’ve grown so much in this time, it’s quite surprising.”

Zhao Huai, on the other hand, wasn’t as surprised. When he measured her bones initially, he knew Shen Yuer’s talent was excellent, and her physical constitution was extraordinary. She was born with an extra bone, and her meridians were more complex than ordinary people.In the future, she will surely become a competent general.

“You’re dressed as…”

Zhao Huai looked at her official uniform and couldn’t help but ask.

Shen Yuer laughed and explained, “Master Lord, I’m now a judicial officer of Yan Country, specializing in handling special cases, dealing with criminals, and managing border smuggling matters.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai frowned.

“A girl like you, and Minister Song actually arranged for you to do these things? No, I must have a good talk with him.”

He felt that although the position of a judicial officer held great power, it inevitably involved bloodshed and was not suitable for women.

“Master Lord, this is what I asked for. Please don’t trouble Minister Song.”

Shen Yuer’s eyes revealed a pleading expression, and she explained, “I have an irreconcilable hatred with demons and monsters. Nowadays, all monsters are concentrated in the North and the Western State, while Yanremains as stable as ever. As a judicial officer, I want to practice overcoming my fear of killing.”

“Amitabha.”

Upon hearing the word “killing,” Monk Fu Hu unconsciously recited a sutra as if to cleanse his ears.

Zhao Huai, understanding her intentions, didn’t insist any further and sighed,

“Alright…”

Suddenly, Shen Yuer showed a look of admiration and said to Zhao Huai, “Master Lord, I heard that during your trip to the Western State, you demonstrated your divine skills, and none of the Demon Kings or Emperors were a match for you!”

“If only I could be like Master Lord, slaying demons and monsters as easily as cutting grass.”

Zhao Huai didn’t smile. Instead, he took on a strict teaching demeanor and said, “Yuer, you must understand that where there is war, there is the sacrifice of lives. In the future, if you have the ability, don’t let hatred cloud your eyes. The people around you are just as important.”

“Yes! I understand, Master Lord. Shen Yuer will always follow Master’s teachings.”

Zhao Huai looked at the busy street and said,

“This time, I came back not only to see you all but also to take people to the north to resist the war. I won’t be returning to Nanyu Prefecture for some time.”

“That’s perfect; take me with you.”

Shen Yuer’s eyes were full of expectation, eager to face the demons and monsters on the battlefield.

Zhao Huai, seeing her like this, couldn’t bear to refuse but still said,

“You should think about it. The battlefield is different from Nanyu Prefecture, and it’s full of life and death uncertainties. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow, and even cultivators in the Rebirth Realm can fall.”

“Master Lord, I have already thought about it. Ever since I started my cultivation, my goal has never changed: to slaughter all the demons and monsters in the world.”

As she spoke, Shen Yuer’s eyes were full of determination.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Huai finally nodded.

“Since that’s the case, go pack your things, and notify Minister Song, Granny Su Li, and Minister Yang.”

“Yes!”

Watching Shen Yuer’s departing figure, Yu Qinghan suddenly froze as if she had thought of something.

“Madam, what’s wrong?”

Yu Qinghan came to her senses and sighed, “I don’t know why, but seeing Shen Yuer made me think of Ping’an and Ru Yue.”

“It’s been five years, and I’ve been busy with military affairs every day, never having the time to return to the Spiritual Mountains. Now that I think about it, Ping’an and Ru Yue must have grown up. I wonder how tall they are now.”

Hearing this, a rare warmth appeared in Zhao Huai’s eyes.

“Indeed, even Shen Yuer has grown from a girl into a graceful young lady. I wonder how Ping’an and Ru Yue are doing now.”
