Chapter 82: Chapter 79: Advancent and New Mission
Moonlight like silver, the night like a curtain.
The dim candlelight flickered endlessly, a gentle breeze brushing through the room, like a delicate hand sweeping across a face.
Ye Lengshuang sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing the Heart thod.
At this mont, her aura was extrely unstable, like turbulent undercurrents swirling incessantly.
Since joining the Foreign Affairs Departnt, she hasn’t wasted any ti in training.
She would train until the first half of the night and only sleep in the latter half.
Today, however, was sowhat different.
Worries surged in her heart like an overwhelming wave, making it impossible for her to concentrate on her training.
After a few breaths, Ye Lengshuang opened her eyes, a trace of worry flashing through them.
Since returning from the graveyard that day, Fox Qiao’s words echoed in her ears like a demonic chant.
Her younger sister was still alive, but she was deeply trapped in the hands of the Fox Mother.
The bloodline of the Ye Family still remained.
When Ye Lengshuang learned of this, her heart was in turmoil.
"What should I do?"
Ye Lengshuang sat at the table, gazing at the flickering oil lamp, lost in thought.
A knock sounded on the door.
"Mr. Ye, I have arrived."
Outside, Tang Lingwei’s voice slowly ca.
Ye Lengshuang ca slightly back to her senses, regaining her cold deanor: "Co in."
Tang Lingwei pushed the door open, closing it behind her, and clasped her fists: "I wonder why Mr. Ye summoned ?"
She was puzzled.
Being called here in the middle of the night, she didn’t know what the matter was.
Ye Lengshuang pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit."
Tang Lingwei dared not say much, taking a seat opposite Ye Lengshuang.
Before she could catch her breath, Ye Lengshuang’s first sentence stunned her on the spot.
"You brought Qin An into the Evil Extermination Bureau, do you know his background and character?"
Tang Lingwei was slightly surprised, not knowing why Mr. Ye was interested in Qin An, but she answered honestly.
"Qin An fought his way out of Ding County..."
She began narrating, her eyes still carried a trace of unresolved shock.
Even recalling it again, she still found it hard to comprehend Qin An’s incredible talent.
It wasn’t until she finished the last sentence that Tang Lingwei stopped.
Ye Lengshuang reached out her fair fingers, gently stroking her brow: "Surrounded by a horde of demons, he killed them all with a single long blade..."
She had thought about Qin An’s situation but hadn’t imagined the complexity of what he faced in Ding County.
Not only were there demons, but there was also the decaying Ding County yan.
Amidst all sides vying for power, he forcibly carved out a bloody path.
"Does he enjoy exterminating demons?" Ye Lengshuang asked again.
Tang Lingwei thought for a mont and said, "It seems so, he appears to love slaying demons and sieging evil. Perhaps family mbers died at the hands of monstrous Pseudo-Gods. That’s why I believed he was a perfect fit for the Evil Extermination Bureau."
Ye Lengshuang fell into contemplation.
If that is truly the case, it’s akin to her own situation.
For she, too, lost all family mbers at the hands of demons.
"No wonder he’s so ruthless when exterminating demonic Pseudo-Gods, turns out we’re on the sa path."
Ye Lengshuang thought to herself.
Tang Lingwei asked, "Sir, is there anything else?"
She was rely a minor constable in Tongzhou, yet was received by a superior, discussing Qin An’s matters, making her sowhat anxious.
Ye Lengshuang ca back to her senses, shaking her head: "Nothing more, you may go back."
Tang Lingwei said no more, turned and left the room.
After Tang Lingwei left, Ye Lengshuang looked at the candlelight on the table, already having made a plan in her heart.
"Father was confused; his actions not only hard the Ye Family but also nurous citizens and colleagues in the Evil Extermination Bureau."
"Qin An and I are in similar situations, if he can focus wholeheartedly on demon exorcism, why can’t I?"
"Forfeit small justice for greater justice, little sister, don’t bla , for I am determined to eradicate demons for the people and to restore the Ye Family’s honor."
"This is redemption, for atoning my father’s sins, and for atoning mine."
Long after, Ye Lengshuang’s uneasiness disappeared.
Though her eyes held sorrow, it was soon replaced by resolve.
And she knew well, the reason she could decide so quickly was due to Qin An’s influence.
"Tomorrow, I will report to the Jinzhou constable, let the Jinzhou constable decide."
Ye Lengshuang sat cross-legged on the bed and continued her cultivation.
As the night deepened, a serene silence spread like water.
...
Qin An’s recent days have been quite comfortable.
Although he shuttles between three places every day, the proficiency of each profession grows visibly.
In the morning, Qin An has already gone to where Cheng Sufeng is.
Now he is hamring away in the Blacksmith shop.
As for how to explain to the Blacksmith, it was just a few silver coins.
In the Evil Extermination Bureau, gold and silver were actually the least important.
It wasn’t until afternoon that Qin An walked out of the Blacksmith shop.
In front of him, smoke appeared, transforming into the latest professional proficiency, snaking in the air.
[Blacksmith lv.4 (150/600): The quality of the items you forge improves]
[dic lv.4 (150/600): The effect of your treatnts on patients slightly improves]
[Dancer lv.4 (100/600): The gracefulness of your dancing enhances]
Practicing these three professions separately has its pros and cons.
The advantage is the average enhancent, inevitably reaching fifth level for all three eventually.
The downside is the speed of improvent will be much slower.
But Qin An doesn’t mind the slowness, as currently, the Evil Extermination Bureau concentrates efforts on the Tiger Race’s secret vault, giving him more ti to perfect them all.
Moreover, the higher the level, the deeper his understanding of the professions becos, also speeding up proficiency gain.
In just two days, he’s gained this much proficiency, and to fully maximize the remaining, it will only take at most eight more days.
Nightfall already showed its signs in the sky, and Qin An quickened his pace slightly.
Once he returns, he still has to practice Dancer proficiency, and after that, rest and sleep, he doesn’t want any delays.
The journey from the Blacksmith shop to the Evil Extermination Bureau was uneventful.
