I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 37: What Does a Demon Cultivator Need for Social Relations

"No need to be polite, colleagues."

Tan Shuchang returned the greeting in a gentle and elegant manner, like a scholar rather than a court official, without any of the authority of a superior.

However, after saying this, Mr. Tan walked towards the interior of the Qitian Pavilion on his own.

Seeing this scene, the servant of Deputy Pavilion Master Yun Shutian was undoubtedly stunned for a moment, because if they were going to Xizhou City to do something, they should go in another direction at this time.

This is the direction to the inner city of Qitian Pavilion.

Yes, the inner city.

Although Qitian Pavilion is named after a pavilion, it actually has nothing to do with it. Or rather, it did have a pavilion in the beginning, but now the main pavilion of Qitian Pavilion is like a city.

Moreover, it should be the largest city among the twenty-five states in the Jiawu Realm.

"Sir, sir, we are going in the wrong direction!" The servant also reacted and realized that this was not the time to be distracted, so he quickly caught up with Tan Shuchang and reminded him.

"Wrong direction? That's right!" Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang couldn't help but look surprised.

"This is the direction to the inner city. If we want to go to Xizhou City, we have to go the other side and walk out of Qitian Pavilion." The attendant servant hurriedly explained to Tan Shuchang. He thought that Tan Shuchang had just arrived, so it was normal that he was not familiar with Qitian Pavilion.

When Tan Shuchang heard this, he smiled slightly, and then he said, "I didn't say I was going to Xizhou City..."

"Not going to Xizhou City..." The servant was stunned.

In the past, even if the spiritual officials who took up their posts did not do anything, they would still pretend to do something. Especially when they were still in the main hall of Qitian Pavilion, they were more active than the other.

Although I usually end up being busy all day and not getting anything done, at least I’ve gotten something done.

There is an explanation both internally and externally.

"When I first take office, I must visit my superiors first, right?" Tan Shuchang said this, but his eyes were intriguing. Because he had planned to visit the four chief and deputy chiefs to test their attitudes towards him, so as to verify the black shadow and the old man's words from another direction.

The black shadow said that he was the stepping stone to the Son of Destiny of Tu Jian Mountain, while the old man who guarded Qiu Junlin said that he was the whetstone appointed by Tu Jian Mountain.

Although both are metaphors of stone, their meanings are different.

Because a whetstone is a little more advanced than a stepping stone.

But now, Tan Shuchang didn't need to test him. He had just arrived and was not familiar with anything, but he was asked to do things. He didn't even provide the detailed situation of Xizhou City. The other party's intention was already very clear.

No matter what identity others assign to him, whether it is a stepping stone to the Son of Destiny or a whetstone for the Son of Destiny, one thing is certain.

That means the other party must want to kill him!

This matter was known to the Emperor Di Yi, the top leaders of Qitian Pavilion, the people close to these top leaders, and even the top leaders of all the immortal cultivation sects in the world knew about it!
Thinking of this, Tan Shuchang looked at the person who called him and continued, "Don't the deputy pavilion masters need me to visit them? Or am I, as a Taoist general, not even qualified to meet with a deputy pavilion master?"

When Tan Shuchang said this, his expression was still gentle, and his tone did not change, just as gentle and elegant as before. However, when these words fell into the ears of the attendant, his face turned pale instantly, and he took a few steps back uncontrollably.

This is not something that Tan Shuchang did, or that he shocked people with his profound skills, but the unique charm of this system.

"I dare not!" The attendant said in a panic. As the servant of the deputy pavilion master, he naturally held a post in Qitian Pavilion. He was a ninth-rank official in front of the prime minister, let alone a personal attendant of a deputy pavilion master.

"I didn't say anything about you. What are you doing..." Tan Shuchang was just talking when he suddenly sensed something and turned to look in the direction of the place. At the same time, a cry of surprise was heard: "Tan Shuchang? Why is it you? Why are you here in Qitian Pavilion?"

"Brother Qiu, long time no see." Tan Shuchang greeted him with a smile, as if he were meeting an old friend who had not seen each other for many years. The life-and-death battle with the old man seemed as if it had never happened.

Qiu Junlin was still the same as before, with a slightly arrogant look on his face, but this time he did not refute Tan Shuchang's address of "Brother Qiu".

He just asked unhappily, "You came to Qitian Pavilion because you need my help with something? Tell me, I'll see if I can help."

"How about you introduce me to the Grand Master?" Tan Shuchang did not refuse.

"Meet my father? Just such a small matter?" When Qiu Junlin heard this, he couldn't help but wonder if Tan Shuchang looked down on him, but he nodded and said, "Come with me!"

Yun Shutian's servants respectfully stepped aside after seeing Qiu Junlin.

After all, in Qitian Pavilion, no one does not know Qiu Junlin's identity.

Next, with Qiu Junlin leading the way, Tan Shuchang enjoyed what was called a super privilege. The main pavilion of the Qitian Pavilion was very large, so even if it was just a place for people who came through the "Shui Ling Zun" to bathe, change clothes, and rest for a while, it had an area of ​​ten acres.

The overall architectural style is dominated by courtyards, where flowers, trees, rocks, pools, and some colorful and rare animals can be seen everywhere.

But because of this, even if a cultivator wants to leave this place, it will take some time.

However, after Qiu Junlin took out a small triangular flag and waved it casually twice, Tan Shuchang only felt a vapor spreading, and then the next second, he appeared in a magnificent hall.

This hall is very large, and even a stone statue here is dozens of feet tall.

Among these stone statues, there stood a middle-aged man. He had his eyes tightly closed, one hand behind his back, and the other hand seemed to be calculating. However, when he noticed the movement here, he said, "This is not how you use the Water Spirit Flag I gave you."

Qiu Junlin naturally came over as well, but he seemed not to have heard what was said, and continued to talk to himself, "His name is Tan Shuchang, and he has something to talk to you about."

"It turns out to be General Tan Daochang. It's the first time I meet you, but I don't recognize you. Please don't blame me, General Tan Daochang!" The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at Tan Shuchang.

"Greetings, Grand Pavilion Master." Tan Shuchang saluted with his fists. As for the other party's words "Please don't blame General Tan", he did not respond at all.

After all, he has become a demon cultivator, so why should he care about the human relationships and worldly wisdom!
Just make do with a fist bump.

The middle-aged man was a little surprised when he saw this scene. After all, it was just a polite remark. Logically speaking, a Taoist general should be terrified when hearing him say that.

So, the Grand Master Qiu smiled and said, "General Tan really has the style of his father!"

This was a compliment, but in reality it was a reminder to Tan Shuchang that your father is no longer with us, and you no longer have the Tan family to back you up, so you should be more careful about your attitude.

"I'm not familiar with my father, so I'll just listen to whatever you say, Grand Master!"

"..." If it weren't for the restrictions of identity and occasion, Pavilion Master Qiu would really like to ask you at this moment, what is the reason why you two father and son are so unfamiliar with each other.
