Chapter 3001 Taking on a disciple in place of the master?!
Before he could even be shocked, another hand suddenly appeared in a direction he couldn't see.

However, the hand that was previously there, although very clean, was clearly a man's hand.

But the hand behind it was different from the first one; it was a woman's hand wearing armor and painted in bright colors!
Two hands grabbed each other in mid-air, and with their combined effort, a man and a woman suddenly appeared out of thin air.

After the two appeared, they suddenly transformed into two fragmented shadows, one red and one white, which collided several times in the void before disappearing at the same time.

At that moment, Wang Yue reached out and grabbed the mirror that was floating in the air.

"Xiao Wang, give me the mirror!"

Just then, Constable Xing ran to the prison cell door and saw what was happening. He quickly reached out to Wang Yue!
He felt that what had just happened was too bizarre, and he had to confirm whether it was an illusion performed by Wang Yue.

Although Wang Yue didn't understand why Officer Xing was so agitated, he had only grabbed the mirror to investigate the matter, and hadn't expected to put himself in danger.

Now that Constable Xing wanted to take the mirror, Wang Yue handed it over without hesitation. His rather cowardly nature kicked in, and he decided that he should focus on cultivating and become stronger before catching demons.

After holding the mirror, Constable Xing was astonished to find that he couldn't see any reflection at all. He quickly wiped it a few times with his hand, but found that he couldn't wipe it away at all!
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he immediately ordered his men to release Wang Yue and have him wait at the government office, while he himself went to find County Magistrate Liu.

Upon hearing this, County Commandant Liu's expression changed drastically. He immediately ordered Constable Liu to deal with the criminals, and he took Wang Yue to visit Duan Yinghuan.

Duan Yinghuan was with his daughter Duan Banxia when he heard that someone was visiting, so he immediately went to the front hall.

When he saw County Lieutenant Liu, he asked with a smile, "Lord Liu, what brings you to my humble abode? Is there anything I can help you with?"

County Commandant Liu's expression remained solemn. He said very seriously, "Do you remember what you told me when you came to Huanzhou?"

Duan Yinghuan's smiling face suddenly turned serious, and he asked incredulously,
"Could it be that rumors of monsters have spread?"

Instead of answering the question, County Commandant Liu looked at Wang Yue and said,
"Wang Yue, tell me what happened!"

Wang Yue didn't know why County Lieutenant Liu had asked him to speak, so he very seriously recounted what had happened, and concluded solemnly with,

"That person came out of the mirror. I don't know why he tried to grab me. Luckily, a woman in red appeared and saved me. Otherwise, I might have lost my life."

It really scared me to death!

Upon hearing Wang Yue's account of the events, Duan Yinghuan asked with some surprise, "Do you know that woman in red?"

Wang Yue certainly couldn't tell the truth; he was actually quite startled at the time.

In the originally dark prison, a mirror suddenly appeared. Wang Yue thought it was the mirror demon inside his body and didn't pay any attention to it.

But to his surprise, what emerged from the mirror was a man's hand, and he immediately realized that it might be about to grab him.

Although he didn't know why this newly appeared mirror demon wanted to capture him, he was unwilling to be captured like this.

Although he had just made a breakthrough, his cultivation time was still too short, and his body's reaction was not keeping up. He was about to be caught.

But at that moment, the fairy sister in the protective mirror in his arms actually reached out a hand and grabbed another man's hand.

Wang Yue originally thought that the fairy sister would be stronger, but she didn't expect that she and the other party would fight to a standstill, and she was actually pulled out by the other party.

Wang Yue willingly handed over the mirror because he realized that his trump card wasn't really a trump card.

Therefore, Wang Yue could not tell the truth. He simply explained seriously, "Sir, I don't know that monster either. I was terrified at the time. I never expected that two monsters would fight in front of me."

Or perhaps these two monsters are enemies?

Those who could become officials at this time, even if they were from prominent families, were very intelligent people, and of course they couldn't completely believe what Wang Yue said.

Duan Yinghuan did not press the matter, but instead said to County Commandant Liu, "Lord Liu, I am going to Nanyang City soon. I wonder if I can take this young man with me."

Upon hearing this, County Lieutenant Liu hesitated, and said with great difficulty,
"Old Wang was in charge of the criminal gang in Huanzhou, but last night Old Wang and his other henchmen all died, leaving only this one."

"If Xiao Wang leaves, there will be no one in Huanzhou to collect his body."

Duan Yinghuan smiled and said, "Lord Liu, you misunderstand. My nephew is getting married soon. I have received a letter from home and need to go to Nanyang City. I will come back after I have taken care of some family matters."

After hearing Duan Yinghuan's words, County Magistrate Liu was finally relieved!
After all, if an ordinary family has a dead body, their own relatives will handle it, and there is no need for a murderer to help. Only those who have no relatives or cannot find the body of their family members will seek help from a murderer.

Such cases are actually rare. Since Wang Yue was away for a while, County Lieutenant Liu could have easily asked the Taoist temple for help in handling the matter, so he didn't insist.

After County Magistrate Liu left, Wang Yue assumed Duan Yinghuan would continue to question him in detail, but to his surprise, Duan Yinghuan smiled and said to Wang Yue,
"Your name is Wang Yue, right? My surname is Duan. I used to be a county magistrate in Guangping City, but now I'm retired to the countryside. I need your help to come with me to Nanyang City. It won't take more than a few days!"

When Duan Yinghuan spoke, it wasn't a question at all, but rather a notification. In his opinion, this was already quite polite.

Wang Yue felt uneasy listening to this, but he didn't want to go back to the murderous place. After all, he had only lost nine people there, and the thought of it still gave him the creeps.

He felt that by going to Nanyang City with Duan Yinghuan, he could take the opportunity to cultivate properly and strive to gain the ability to protect himself as soon as possible.

So Wang Yue agreed without a second thought and followed the Duan family's servants to the guest room.

What Wang Yue didn't expect was that less than an hour after he checked in, two people suddenly came to the front desk.

These were two girls, clearly mistress and servant. When they arrived in the guest room courtyard and saw Wang Yue, the one in the lead took the initiative to ask him questions.
"I've heard that you are the ruthless Wang Yue!"

Are they born with the ability to see things that ordinary people can't?

When Wang Yue watched the master and servant talking, the master's face was full of expectation, while the servant had an unspeakable fear. Such contradictory expressions were really rare.

Wang Yue deduced from this that the young lady could probably see those things too, so he tentatively asked her...

"It's me. Who are you? Can you see those things too?"

The young woman seemed to have received approval, and she immediately said excitedly,

"My surname is Duan, and my name is Banxia. I am a young lady from the Duan family, and she is my maid, Tingzhou."

I've been able to see those things you're talking about since I was little, but no one believed me. Can you really see them?

Wang Yue finally understood why Duan Banxia was so excited; he could certainly empathize with that feeling.

He had told these things to others before, but they all thought he was mentally unstable and no one believed him.

So seeing Duan Banxia's excited expression, he said seriously,

"There really are ghosts in this world, and of course there are demons. Most demons are relatively kind, but there are also some that are quite fierce."

Last night, I encountered a starving ghost who ate people. He devoured nine of our fierce men, leaving me as the only survivor.

Duan Banxia was startled. She hadn't expected such a thing to happen. So, all the monsters she had encountered before were kind ones!

This made Duan Banxia a little nervous. She asked anxiously, "What should we do? Those monsters are very powerful. What if we encounter them?"

Wang Yue decided not to scare Duan Banxia any further. He said very seriously,

"Actually, the reason I survived yesterday was because a fairy sister happened to pass by. She killed that starving ghost and taught me how to cultivate. I believe that one day I will definitely be able to become a demon hunter and no longer be afraid of those monsters."

Hearing Wang Yue say that, Duan Banxia was incredibly envious. She excitedly asked, "Could you teach me the skills you've learned? I can give you money; I have plenty of money!"

As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny, and Wang Yue was tempted when he heard about money.

So he thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. If you can give me a thousand taels, I can take you on as my junior sister."

Upon hearing this, Duan Banxia immediately became excited and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the money for you right away!"

After she finished speaking, she disregarded etiquette and left in a flash, while the maidservant from Tingzhou quickly bowed before hurriedly leaving as well.

Although the Duan family's courtyard in Huanzhou was not small, Duan Yinghuan quickly learned of the movements of Duan Banxia and Tingzhou.

Duan Yinghuan was busy packing his things when he heard that Duan Banxia had returned from the guest courtyard. He immediately instructed the steward to continue packing and then went to ask Duan Banxia for advice.

Duan Banxia looked through her belongings and found that she only had a little over three hundred taels of silver, far short of a thousand taels. She hesitated and looked through her jewelry, wondering which piece could be used as collateral.

Seeing his daughter rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Duan Yinghuan inquired about the details and then frowned, saying...

"Father will go with you to see Wang Yue. If he is really capable, I will pay this money for you."

Duan Banxia was overjoyed and hurriedly walked towards the guest courtyard with Duan Yinghuan. However, before they could arrive, they heard a loud noise coming from the guest courtyard.
