Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

"Magistrate!"

Among the servants guarding the entrance of the Shen mansion, one recognized Zeng Fan and cried out in alarm.

"Hmm!"

Zeng Fan acknowledged them, pleased by their frightened expressions.

During the Shen family patriarch's birthday celebration, Magistrate Zeng Fan had been invited.

Therefore, most of the Shen mansion's servants had seen his face.

In the courtyard, after watching the faceless ghost in the long robe being incinerated into nothingness by the crimson flames,

Lu Xuan focused his mind, and the system panel appeared before his eyes.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Inner Qi Realm (Great Accomplishment)

Techniques: Crimson Flame Saber Art 4/9 (Can be deduced), Wind Chasing Steps 2/9 (Can be deduced)

Points: 443

Confirm whether to consume 60 points to deduce Wind Chasing Steps.

Confirm whether to consume 100 points to deduce Crimson Flame Saber Art.

"What!"

Lu Xuan's previously calm expression was replaced by shock at the number of points on the system panel.

Last night, his system points were only 43, but now they had suddenly increased to 443.

In other words, resolving the human-faced ghost had brought Lu Xuan a full 400 system points.

This was just a 'Dire' level ghost, and it had already given him several hundred system points. What about a 'Calamity' level ghost?

Or a 'Disaster' level ghost?

Wouldn't that be at least a thousand points to start? Lu Xuan's heart stirred with excitement at the thought.

"Xiao Xuan!"

At that moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard gate; it was Shen Yunwei.

When he saw Lu Xuan suddenly run off, he followed behind him, chasing all the way from the Shen mansion's side hall.

However, Lu Xuan was too fast, and Shen Yunwei couldn't even catch a glimpse of his back.

Fortunately, while Shen Yunwei was chasing Lu Xuan, he encountered Shen Yuan and the others along the way.

Shen Yuan looked panicked, carrying a bewildered Lu Qingqing in his arms.

When Shen Yuan uttered the words 'Wealthy Merchant Liu' in a flustered manner,

Shen Yunwei's expression changed drastically, and he sped towards Shen Yuan's courtyard, leaving Shen Yuan and the others far behind.

Without overthinking, Shen Yunwei quickly walked into the courtyard from outside the gate.

He saw that the flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard were blown into disarray, and the clean ground was scattered with clumps of dirt.

On the other side of the courtyard, a large hole had been blasted in the courtyard wall, and the ground was piled with charred stones.

Even now, Shen Yunwei could still smell the strong burning odor in the air.

Shen Yunwei quickly walked to Lu Xuan's side and said anxiously, "Xiao Xuan, what happened? I heard Yuan'er say..."

"Grandfather, it's nothing serious. I just encountered a bit of filth, but I've already dealt with it,"

Lu Xuan said calmly.

This time, he didn't hide anything from Shen Yunwei but directly and openly told him the truth.

However, to Lu Xuan's surprise, Shen Yunwei's reaction wasn't as shocked as he had expected.

Shen Yunwei's aged face was filled with emotion; hearing Lu Xuan mention that kind of filth didn't seem shocking to him.

"Was it really Old Liu?"

"Alas, what a tragedy."

"I didn't expect that such filth would exist in Dengfeng County."

Shen Yunwei had heard of such filth when he was young.

However, what he didn't expect was that these things would one day appear in his own mansion.

Shen Yunwei thought of Wealthy Merchant Liu's family, who had all died tragically at the hands of this filth.

If Lu Qingqing's elder brother, Lu Xuan, hadn't happened to come, then his Shen mansion would probably have suffered a similar fate.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the next moment, two more figures rapidly ran in from outside the courtyard gate.

The two were Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao.

When Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao saw Lu Xuan's face, they immediately clasped their hands in salute.

"Senior!"

Then, Zhao Sheng scanned the scene in the courtyard, sensed that there was no Yin Qi present, and then spoke again.

"Senior, please forgive our rudeness."

"Just now, Lao Qian and I discovered an abnormal situation in the mansion, which is why we barged in so rashly."

"Who are you?"

"Xiao Xuan, do you know them?"

The latest novels are at 69shu.com!

Shen Yunwei looked at Zhao Sheng and the others with a puzzled expression.

What strong aura!

When Zhao Sheng and the other two ran in just now, they didn't conceal their aura.

Huh!

Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao almost popped their eyeballs when they heard Shen Yunwei's words!

Xiao Xuan?

This old man actually called their senior 'Xiao Xuan'.

Could it be that the two of them guessed wrong, and this senior was actually a young man?

Hiss!

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao looked at each other, their eyes filled with horror!

The senior looks to be only about twenty years old!

Tsk tsk, at the age of twenty, he already possesses strength greater than both of them.

How terrifying!

Then, Zhao Sheng behaved very humbly, stepped forward, and said to Shen Yunwei, "Old Master, the two of us have met the senior once and are asking him for a favor."

After Zhao Sheng explained his intentions in a humble manner, Shen Yunwei was relieved.

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

He thought that these two unfamiliar martial artists had barged into the Shen mansion with malicious intentions.

Seeing that the explanation was clear, Zhao Sheng quickly said to Lu Xuan, "Senior, then the two of us will take our leave first."

"Lao Qian and I will continue to keep an eye on that thing. When it appears, we will come and notify you, Senior!"

Even knowing Lu Xuan's true age, Zhao Sheng still didn't dare to overstep.

Martial artists respect strength!

The other party's strength is greater than both of them, so he is their senior.

"No need!"

At this time, Lu Xuan finally spoke.

"That thing has already been resolved. You two don't need to come and notify me in the future."

Ah?

Lu Xuan's sudden words stunned Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao.

After a few breaths, Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao understood Lu Xuan's meaning and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

"Senior, do you mean?"

"That human-faced ghost has already been resolved by you?"

"Could it be that Senior's attack just now was to resolve the human-faced ghost?"

Lu Xuan silently looked at Zhao Sheng and the other two, then nodded and responded to them.

"Senior is incredibly powerful and compassionate. Lao Qian and I thank you for your helping hand on behalf of the people of Dengfeng County!"

After Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao received Lu Xuan's confirmation, they clasped their fists and bowed deeply to Lu Xuan.

However, after the two of them got up, they still saw Lu Xuan staring at them.

Meeting Lu Xuan's dark eyes, Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao felt a sense of foreboding.

Lu Xuan's eyes were like a hungry wolf looking at a plump lamb.

Lu Xuan's mouth slightly raised, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he slowly said, "No need for thanks. I have a small difficulty that requires the help of you two."

Just now, Lu Xuan's body-nourishing medicinal materials were all consumed by him.
