At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

The next day, early in the morning.

As dawn broke, Mu Yang finished washing up and changed into a new uniform from the Demon Slayer Division.

Because it was a holiday today, he didn't go to the Demon Slayer Bureau. Instead, after leaving the constables' office, he headed towards Dai Wang's house.

Qinghe County is not like Qingxi County; it doesn't usually have as many problems.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary constables with second-tier strength can solve most problems. In rare cases, however, those with third-tier strength may have to step in.

For a squad leader like Dai Wang, whose cultivation has reached the fourth level, there is no need to be present every day unless something urgent happens.

You can arrange your time freely.

Mu Yang went out and crossed two streets, where he saw a familiar figure in the distance.

He was dressed in white, with a compass hanging from his waist.

It was none other than Lei Sai, whom they had just parted ways with yesterday.

He was standing helplessly in front of a steaming bun shop, holding several kinds of breakfast in his hands.

There were two other people beside him.

One was a woman dressed in a light purple outfit, with a neat single ponytail tied at the back of her head, looking very heroic.

The other was a man who looked to be around the same age as her.

He was dressed in a light blue brocade robe, with a light pink jade belt around his waist, from which hung a piece of mutton-fat jade pendant. He also held a white plum blossom folding fan in his hand, which he was gently waving.

He had gentle features and a handsome appearance, with a warm smile always playing on his lips, making him look like a refined gentleman.

When Lei Sai saw Mu Yang, his eyes lit up as if he were a drowning man grasping at a straw.

"Brother Mu!!"

He shouted.

He wanted to run over, but the woman turned around and glared at him, causing him to stop in his tracks and hesitate.

The man followed Lei Sai's gaze, smiled gently at Mu Yang, and nodded in greeting.

When he ran into an acquaintance, Mu Yang prepared to go over and say hello.

As soon as he got closer, he heard the woman lecturing Lei Sai: "How many times have I told you, be steady in your actions, don't panic and shout."

As she spoke, the woman seemed to notice Mu Yang's arrival, turned her head and smiled gently, "You flatter me."

"My name is Lei Jiaojiao, and I am this young man's older sister."

Lei Jiaojiao clasped her hands in a clean and crisp gesture.

He had heard the name Lei Jiaojiao before, but not from Lei Sai; he heard it from Xue She.

He is said to be a famous genius among the younger generation in Qinghe County. He is only twenty-three years old this year and has already reached the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm. As for whether he has suddenly broken through to the fifth-order Meridian Opening Realm, it is unclear.

When a martial artist is not fighting, he can only vaguely sense the fluctuations of true energy within his opponent's body. The exact amount can only be determined when a fight breaks out.

As Mu Yang looked at Lei Jiaojiao, she was also carefully observing him.

From the face to the shoulders, from the shoulders to the waist, and finally stopping at the black gold four-sided mace.

Although Mu Yang felt that the Black Gold Four-Sided Mace was not as useful as his Spider Spear, it was still good for confusing opponents.

"I've often heard this kid mention you, saying you're quick-witted and quite capable. Meeting you today, I can confirm that you live up to your name—sunny, handsome, and dignified."

"I hope Brother Mu will take good care of my good-for-nothing, silly younger brother when we go on missions in the future!"

"Sis, I'm not stupid!"

Lei Sai tried to argue his case.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Lei Jiaojiao shrugged and spoke dismissively.

Lei Sai: ......

Tired, destroy it.

The young man in the blue robe standing to the side smiled. When Mu Yang looked at him, he flicked his wrist, closed his folding fan, and bowed slightly, saying, "I am Mei Cao, greetings to Brother Mu."

His voice was gentle and refined, perfectly matching Mu Yang's understanding of the phrase "a noble young master from a prominent family."

Mei Cao, the second young master of the Mei family, is also the most talented person among the younger generation of the Mei family.

It is said that his talent surpasses that of Lei Jiaojiao.

Mu Yang didn't know the specifics; he had only heard Xue She mention it briefly.

"Mu Yang greets you both."

Mu Yang returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"Brother Mu, we've run into each other. Shall we go together?" Lei Sai looked at Mu Yang.

Mu Yang wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Lei Sai's gaze was full of expectation, as if he were some kind of god who could save him.

As for "ya", it's just accompanying my sister and her friends shopping.

If Lei Sai could hear Mu Yang's inner thoughts, he would definitely tell him loudly.

Brother Mu, don't be deceived by their seemingly gentle appearance!

In fact, what Lei Sai hated most was going out with Lei Jiaojiao, and what he hated even more was going out with both Lei Jiaojiao and Mei Cao.

It was clearly the parents of both families who were trying to arrange the marriage between the two, hoping they could travel together and get to know each other better. However, neither of them was the other's ideal type. So, after some discussion, they would force him to come along each time to ease the tension.

That's fine, we're all friends, and Lei Sai was willing to help.

But Lei Jiaojiao loves to play pranks on him, and Mei Cao occasionally gives him some pointers.

Despite their incompatible personalities, they surprisingly work in unison when it comes to bullying him.

It's annoying!

He didn't want to come, but he was simply too weak to resist.

Therefore, he urgently needs help.

In his heart, Mu Yang, who was just as smart as his sister, was a great support!

Unfortunately, Mu Yang couldn't hear his thoughts. Even if he did, he would just smile, pat him on the shoulder, and wish him a good time.

"Sorry, I have something to discuss with Chief Dai. I'll see you next time," Mu Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Lei Sai's smile instantly froze.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Lei Jiaojiao grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up like a chick.

"In that case, we won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, Lei Jiaojiao carried the lifeless Lei Sai away. Mei Cao smiled and nodded to Mu Yang, then followed her away.

After a minor incident, Mu Yang continued walking towards Dai Wang's house.

..................

Dai Wang's home was located east of the prefectural government office; it wasn't very large.

Of course, this is not a big deal; it's mainly compared to the Wang and Hu families in Qingxi County.

In fact, Dai Wang's family home was a large four-courtyard house located just three streets away from the county government office. For this location and size, it was already quite good.

Mu Yang knocked on the door knocker, and soon an old servant wearing a coarse cloth short jacket opened the door.

After explaining his identity and purpose, Mu Yang quickly followed the old servant through the front yard.

In the courtyard, three teenagers were chasing and playing, while two young men around thirteen or fourteen years old were sparring with wooden swords.

Under the long corridor, several gentle women dressed in casual clothes were sitting on stone benches, eating morning tea and chatting and laughing.

They all greeted Mu Yang with a smile when they saw him.

As Mu Yang crossed the courtyard, he saw Dai Wang sitting in the study, reading a collection of supernatural tales.

"Brother Mu? Welcome, welcome!"

Upon seeing Mu Yang, Dai Wang put down the novel he had just bought: "What's up so early in the morning?"

"I have something I'd like to trouble you with, Brother Dai."

Mu Yang nodded and got straight to the point: "I'd like to ask if there's any news about demons in our county's constables' office."
