Begin immortality by slaying demons

Chapter 160: The General Soldier’s Examination (Chapter on Asking for Leave)

 In the courtyard.

Jiang Yuanhua stood up and returned the greeting with his hands in hand. A bit of curiosity appeared in his eyes, and then he extended his hand and said politely: "General Shen, there is no need to be formal. Please sit down."

As the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou, it was the first time he saw his demon-suppressing general. No matter which state he was in, it was considered a strange thing.

Shen Yi quietly glanced at You Longtao, who happened to look over as well.

“Put that bow with you first.” General You smiled gently, obviously seeing what the other party was thinking.

 “Thank you, General You.” Shen Yi then chose a place to sit down.

Jiang Yuanhua casually exchanged a few words and looked at the young man.

His knowledge of Shen Yi came mostly from Lin Baiwei's praise, and then from yesterday's work debriefing meeting.

 From the apprentice to the demon catcher to several demon-suppressing generals, everyone seems to know something about this young man.

“I heard from Ah Qian that you are about to go to the capital to practice at the martial arts temple. You can go with Qiu Lan and let her take you to get familiar with the martial arts temple in the capital.”

After Jiang Yuanhua finished speaking, the girl under the big tree showed no reaction and looked quietly into the distance.

The Commander-in-Chief seems to have been used to this scene for a long time, and other people, including others, don't think there is anything wrong with it.

“But before I leave, General Shen, can you do one more thing for me?”

After talking about the arrangements for going to Beijing, Jiang Yuanhua suddenly had a hint of coldness in his voice: "Although my apprentice is ineffective, he can't be bullied by anyone. I originally wanted to let Qiu Lan take her there, but now that General Shen has just taken office, I wonder if you would like to go to Baiyun County and remind that fox for me that Qingzhou is not a place where it can stay as long as it wants."

“Just in time to let the other generals see what I, the newly appointed general of Qingzhou, can do to suppress demons.”

 When a new general takes office, he must establish his authority.

It is not realistic to kill another big demon in the Baoding Realm, but frightening a wandering demon and making it withdraw from the Qingzhou boundary can be regarded as a test for the demon-suppressing general.

 You Longtao still looked that gentle.

With Master's cultivation level, he didn't even need to leave the city. Just sitting here could make that old fox understand the seriousness of the matter.

Rather than wanting other generals to take a look, Master wanted to see how capable this highly respected young general was.

Perhaps because of his guilt towards Junior Sister Jiang, Master's character seems to have changed a lot, and is far less tough than before, but deep down, he is still the commander-in-chief who only believes in his own judgment and is in charge of a state.

 His decision-making will never be affected by other people's words and deeds, even if Junior Sister Jiang is the guarantor.

“General Shen will set off for Beijing in five days. Don’t miss the time.” Jiang Yuanhua nodded slightly.

 “Shen Yi obeys the order.”

 If you want to enjoy higher treatment and obtain better skills and martial arts, you will naturally have to bear greater pressure.

Shen Yi was not moved and stood up, cupping her hands to say goodbye.

Having been away from Boyun County for such a long time, he still remembered the little fox demon that he killed with the Sihe Zhengang.

Even if there is no order from the other party, when he has time, he will go to Beiya.

 Wait until the young man leaves the courtyard.

You Longtao suddenly remembered something: "It seems like he didn't even ask Junior Sister?"

Fang Heng poked his head out of the kitchen and affirmed, "I really didn't ask."

 …

 In the Xiaowei Courtyard.

Chen Jinyu ran in in a panic and knocked carefully on the door: "Is Mr. Shen here?"

 Soon, the door of the house opened quietly.

The little girl subconsciously handed over the ferocious wolf cloak in her hand: "You forgot..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Chen Jinyu blinked and stared at the beautiful sister in front of him in a daze.

The other party took the cloak smoothly, folded it up again as usual, and then said warmly: "Shen Yi is not here, I will hand it to him for you."

"Thank you, sister." Chen Jinyu realized her presumption and quickly looked away from the other party's pretty face. Even in the Demon Suppression Division, she had never seen such a gentle and beautiful girl.

"It's so late, have you eaten? Do you want to eat something together?" Lin Baiwei turned sideways with a smile, and gently rubbed the wolf-swallowing pattern on the cloak with her fingertips. Even though it had been washed very clean, there was still a faint faint smell on it. The smell of demon blood.

  It is in line with her understanding of youth.

"I, I..." Chen Jinyu clenched her sleeves and suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. She shook her head shyly: "My brother is still waiting for me."  turned around and glanced at the mysterious figure quietly, and then ran away in a panic Out of the yard.

  “What is this for?”

 Shen Yi glanced at the little girl's figure casually, and then walked into the door.

 He untied his scarlet cloak, and Lin Baiwei took it skillfully, and then pulled out a chair: "I'm bringing you clothes, please eat something quickly, I'm already hungry."

 On the table is a steaming pot of stewed lamb chops.

Shen Yi sat at the table and asked curiously: "I heard that you failed to condense the pill?"

“…” Lin Baiwei rolled her eyes, picked up a piece of mutton chop with her chopsticks and put it into his bowl: “I haven’t seen you for three months, and you’re still so annoying.”

This time there are not so many pairs of eyes staring at me.

Shen Yi finally had the opportunity to savor the disappointing last meal in Boyun County.

 Sure enough, it still smells familiar.

 “Don’t stare at me.” Shen Yi took a sip of hot soup.

"If you don't want to look, don't look." Lin Baiwei withdrew her gaze. Although she had many, many questions she wanted to ask, she had to finish her dinner first.

 The two of them moved their chopsticks quickly until the basin was empty, leaving only a little residual soup.

Lin Baiwei wiped the corners of her lips happily and rubbed her belly: "I thought that after you became a general, your mouth would become more picky."

"I just got it, and I haven't had time to enjoy it yet." Shen Yi stood up and sat back on the edge of the bed.

"So how did you become the one?" Lin Baiwei finally couldn't restrain her curiosity and surprise. She could guess that Li Xinhan would never let Shen Yi take a medicinal bath, but even if he came in as the captain, he would not be able to take a medicinal bath in a short time. Within a short period of time, he was promoted to the rank of Demon-Suppressing General.

 “It’s the same as then.” Shen Yi said calmly.

After finishing her words, Lin Baiwei's thoughts instantly returned to Baiyun County. The person left in the early morning and returned at sunset, with clothes always stained with demon blood and slightly tired eyebrows.

She probably understood what Shen Yi meant. Getting promoted because of killing demons sounded very simple...but how many demons had to be killed before Mr. Chen could take the initiative to propose such a sensational thing, and even his senior sister had great trust in him.

 Under the understatement, what is probably covered up are countless life and death crises.

Moreover, he can enter the sight of other demon-suppressing generals, and the demons he kills are by no means ordinary people.

With such a rapid advancement in cultivation, it is no wonder that the general of Yang'an County doubted that Shen Yi was transformed by a great demon.

 Think about yourself again.

 Lin Baiwei was a little disappointed again: "I wasted a very precious opportunity..."

Even in front of her senior fellow apprentices, she didn't show any strangeness at all, but at this moment, next to Shen Yi, her face finally showed a little loneliness. After all, the other party had seen her in a more embarrassing state before.

"The qualifications are not good, that's what it is." Shen Yi shook his head slightly, feeling a little relieved.

He is fully aware of the fact that more opportunities and time are needed due to qualification issues.

　　　…”

Lin Baiwei was speechless and choked.

 Looking at the young man's serious expression, she suddenly rubbed her eyes and felt inexplicably much more relaxed.

  She does not feel that the other party is mocking her. For Shen Yi, she will not waste time on such boring things.

 If it is an objective fact that the qualifications are not good, then you can only do your best to do what you should do.

“So, what will General Shen do next?” Lin Baiwei quickly adjusted her mentality.

Shen Yi took off her black armor and lay on the bed: "Go back to Baiyun County."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Baiwei suddenly realized something and said in surprise: "Master wants to use that old fox to test you? Although its cultivation level is not enough to hold the Dan realm, it is not a demon from the Qian Dynasty, but a Qing Dynasty. Qiu Xueyi is full of treacherous and cunning methods."

“If Senior Sister Jiang comes in person, for her sake, the fox will leave honestly.”

"But you have just been promoted to general, so it may not give you face..."

Hearing this, Shen Yi rested her arms on her head and did not refute anything.

 He had no intention of using this black armor to scare off the opponent.
