Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Inside the Zhao family courtyard.

Chang Yi stood silently, looking at the family around him, and found that they were all staring at him with uneasy expressions.

In the past, he would have suppressed his rage, first comforted the elderly and weak, helped them clean up the bodies, and then tried to find out the truth of the matter to clear the Zhao family's name.

But now, Chang Yi's mind was filled with the image of Lin Shu glancing at the note in his hand.

Human life is at stake; we must be flexible and distinguish between what is important and what is urgent!

Thinking of this, he suddenly gritted his teeth and rushed onto the long street like a madman.

Passersby stared in astonishment at the young constable running around frantically.

We traveled from the west side of the city all the way to the east side.

Chang Yi barged straight into the imposing government office guarded by two stone lions, and after several twists and turns, arrived at a quiet side hall.

He reached out and pushed open the door, striding inside: "Auntie!"

"Um?"

Behind a wide table in the hall sat a woman of striking beauty.

As the county magistrate of Blackwater City, she wore no makeup and dressed in a tight-fitting black shirt similar to that of a constable, with a purple dragon fluttering on the lapel and a splash of water beneath its claws.

With the precious sword lying quietly on the table, her originally gentle and pretty face inexplicably gained a touch of majesty.

Upon hearing this address, Gu Nanzhi looked up from her book with some surprise and turned her gaze to the slightly disheveled boy at the door.

She smiled and said, "Didn't you repeatedly tell me not to let the officials know about our relationship? What's going on today?"

Young man, thin-skinned but ambitious.

In addition, ten years ago, the child's older brother drowned in the Blackwater River, and the family became even more protective of this only child, which is why he has developed such an innocent and naive appearance.

Chang Yi reached out and closed the door, his tone urgent: "On Sifang Street in the West City, there are rumors that the Zhao family is colluding with the Xionglang Hall. There is no conclusive evidence for this, and Zhao's sister-in-law has been imprisoned..."

"Understood, I will send someone to investigate again." Gu Nanzhi nodded slightly.

Before she could look away, she was interrupted by a hoarse, dry growl.

"Release them! Release them now!"

Chang Yi already knew roughly where the elixir from the Zhao family came from half a year ago. His eyes reddened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I will investigate and provide the relevant evidence later."

He was very disciplined and dared not overstep any boundaries, for fear that people would say he was a crony or a spoiled brat who abused his power.

The question is whether one's own reputation for integrity is more valuable, or whether those living, breathing lives are more important.

In Blackwater, the law has become a mere formality.

If we want to get things done, how can we continue to stick to the old ways?

"..."

Gu Nanzhi looked up again, her surprise even more pronounced.

She pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "I heard you've been getting very close to Wolf from the Blackwater Gang lately. He just took over Sifang Street, and you've already set your sights on Liu Zhen?"

Gu Nanzhi wanted to know whether the boy's change came from his own heart or whether he had become a tool in the hands of others.

"A ferocious wolf?"

Chang Yi looked up in surprise, paused for a moment before realizing who his aunt was referring to, and quickly said with certainty, "He's a good person."

The fact that Lin Shu appeared at the Zhao family's residence indicates that they also care about this matter, but are unable to intervene due to their status.

Hearing this still immature reason, Gu Nanzhi lowered her eyes helplessly: "You can take the person away from the jail first, but you must keep a close watch on him. I will make a decision after I have investigated. You don't need to collect evidence, you don't have the ability to do so. Just focus on patrolling the streets."

"Remember, stay away from that wolf."

A wolf that has just risen to power is eager to control its territory and will most likely resort to any means necessary.

Gu Nanzhi didn't know much about that Tanlang, but she knew her nephew very well; he was born to be used as a tool by others.

"Go and get them." She waved her hand.

……

West City, dilapidated courtyard.

Yunniang looked up at the thick night sky.

Ever since the day the fairy descendant woke up, she noticed that something seemed to have been torn apart above her head, and strange air currents would occasionally appear in her vision.

They drifted erratically, like a tattered fishing net, floating above the woodshed.

Moreover, this feeling became increasingly real, to the point that it transformed into scattered words that seeped into my mind.

She stood up, wanting to share the good news with her benefactor.

But a muttering figure suddenly crashed into the courtyard. Yunniang hesitated for a moment, then went back inside, closed the door, and looked out the window.

As the benefactor's status rose, the number of unfamiliar faces in the courtyard gradually increased.

She absolutely could not interfere with the other party's work, so she could only choose to hide herself as much as possible.

"Mr. Lin, I've brought the things..."

Dong Cheng walked to the door of the side room, his voice weak and listless.

To be honest, after he got back, he thought about it for a long time, wondering whether he should leave this greedy and stupid madman as soon as possible.

That's right, greedy and stupid—that's Dong Cheng's current opinion of Lin Shu.

Unfortunately, he couldn't escape Blackwater City, which was divided up by the government and the Blackwater Gang, and no one was willing to take in this young wolf.

It seems there's no difference between being chased by this greedy wolf or being killed by him.

Dong Cheng finally gritted his teeth and came over.

"Come in."

A calm voice came from inside the room.

Dong Cheng pushed open the door, closed it behind him with a guilty conscience, gritted his teeth, and placed an account book on the table.

He now wishes he could tear his own mouth apart.

So what if someone surnamed Liu provokes me? It's not the first time. Why does he have to be so cheeky and brag?

"Master Lin, I need to make this clear to you." Dong Cheng tried to struggle a little more, forcing a smile: "Liu Zhen isn't stupid. He knows we can do the accounting, but he still managed to kill that Wolf Lord from the very beginning."

"Although it was a planned ambush, the real reason was that he wasn't afraid at all..."

"Although this booklet contains evidence of his crimes, it's all related to those tigers!"

Dong Cheng smiled bitterly; even if the other party was stupid, they should have understood.

Since it involves their own White Tiger Hall, which fierce wolf would dare to expose this thing?

Knowing full well that you wouldn't dare, why would Liu Zhen be afraid? Compared to spitting out some silver, this constable would definitely prefer to kill the two of them directly.

"It's not worth it for a little bit of money!"

"..."

Lin Shu's expression remained unchanged as she flipped through the book.

Each line of writing above represents how the constable had used the lives of ordinary people on the street to gain considerable benefits from the White Tiger Hall.

They were so numerous and densely packed that they were impossible to count.

In other words, he chose the wrong profession. If Liu Zhen had joined the Fierce Wolf Hall, the greedy character in his name should have been given to him.

Lin Shu closed the ledger and casually took out two Qi-replenishing pills from her waist and put them in her mouth.

This thing was not as sweet and delicious as the elixir he had imagined.

Instead, a bitter taste blooms on the tip of the tongue, so bitter that it makes your face contort.

But Lin Shu only frowned slightly, feeling the medicine quickly dissipate in her body.

In the previous battle with Tian Jingyuan, he had consumed about six strands of spiritual power.

I was just about to use two charity coins to try to upgrade my inner technique, since with the help of Yu Sheng's essence and blood, the seventh-grade Azure Bird Qi Guiding Technique was already on its way.

Unfortunately, it didn't have enough good deeds to successfully cross the threshold.

It merely loosened the threshold a little more, and then added four strands of spiritual energy.

With these two Qi-replenishing pills, his condition was restored to its best.

"This..." Dong Cheng rubbed his temples hard when he saw the young man's actions.

Since we're already so lacking in confidence, do we really have to accept this money?

I need to be on my guard tonight and act according to the situation. If things don't look right, I should be ready to run away at any time.

"call."

Lin Shu tossed the ledger back to the other person and slowly stood up.

They keep complaining about lacking good deeds.

The problem is that those who dare to commit violence in Blackwater City, like Liu Laosan who is desperate and resorts to violence, are few and far between. The rest all have some kind of background.

Now that good deeds have been presented to us, we can't just close our eyes and pretend we didn't see them.

Is he still at the teahouse?

"That's for sure, this guy won't be satisfied until dawn." Dong Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's take our things and go have some fun."

Lin Shu took a step, pushed open the door, and stepped decisively into the night.
