Gurgle!

Shen Qing took a big gulp of cool tea and imdiately felt refreshed.

The governnt officer who had co to deliver the ssage listened for the source of the sound and spotted Shen Qing, his face revealing a touch of surprise.

He had not expected the person who had slain the tiger demon to be so young.

He looked to be no more than twenty!

He was bound to have a limitless future.

A smile spread across the governnt officer's face, and he hurried forward with a smile, saying, "Junior Brother Shen, the banquet will start around noon at the county governnt, and the county magistrate has invited the local bosses to attend. I hope Junior Brother Shen will arrive on ti."

Shen Qing glanced at the governnt officer and noticed a hint of sycophancy in his eyes, which made him inwardly mock the harsh reality.

It was rely a small success in Martial Arts, and yet people had already started to curry favor with him.

Indeed, a hero is not asked about his background; poor in a bustling market, no one cares, but rich in remote mountains, distant relatives co calling.

Fortunately, Shen Qing was a clear-headed person; he did not let it go to his head and disregarded the officer.

He knew that no matter what, the governnt officer before him wore the skin of the Great Zhou Court.

They say it's good to rest in the shade of a great tree, and this official was certainly "higher" than him, a commoner, deserving a bit of courtesy in the city.

Seeing that the other repeatedly reminded and instructed him, Shen Qing put down his teacup steadily, stood up, and bowed politely: "Thank you for informing , sir. I will certainly be there on ti."

The governnt officer's face brightened, finding Shen Qing easy to deal with, and thus he intended to foster a connection, taking the initiative to say: "I am Quan Helin, working in the service at the county governnt. Should Junior Brother Shen need assistance in the future, feel free to seek out."

Shen Qing noticed Quan Helin's underlying motive, but did not resist or put on airs.

In his view, having one more friend ant one more pathway, which wasn't a bad thing, so he happily responded with folded hands: "Good."

Quan Helin said, "Now that I have delivered the ssage, I will not bother you any longer, I take my leave."

"Take care, no need to see out!"

Shen Qing watched Quan Helin leave, his smiling expression gradually fading from his face.

At that mont, he suddenly felt that the bustling noise from the inner courtyard had vanished, leaving it eerily silent, which struck him as odd.

Shen Qing turned around and saw that many disciples from Linfeng Hall were staring at him with expressions as if they were looking at a monster.

After a long while, Ouyang Tiezhu stepped out from among the people, sounding a bit uncertain as he said, "Junior Brother Shen, that governnt officer said you were to attend a banquet at the County Magistrate's invitation, what banquet is it?"

"Oh, it must be because I killed the demon tiger, and the county magistrate wants to celebrate," Shen Qing replied casually without overthinking it.

"You said... you killed... a tiger demon?!!"

"Yes, I was lucky to kill it."

Whoosh!

As soon as these words were uttered, Linfeng Hall's inner courtyard erupted like a drop of water in boiling oil, suddenly filled with clamorous noise.

Many people began whispering to each other, and the courtyard buzzed with discussion.

Upon hearing this news, Li Linfeng, who was still recuperating in the inner courtyard, felt a surge of Qi-Blood. Having just regained so color and vitality, he couldn't help but sit up abruptly, staring intently at Shen Qing.

He had not fully recovered from the shock of Shen Qing shooting the boss of the Mi Gang yet, and now he was hearing about Shen Qing slaying the tiger demon, stormy waves arose in his heart.

With these two significant events happening one after another, the image of his disciple Shen Qing grew imnsely in his eyes.

He subconsciously glanced at Fifth Miss and Li Lingchan next to him, feeling even more pity and anger for their lack of struggle.

If it were as the governnt officer had said, and Shen Qing had indeed killed the tiger demon, then his rits would surely be imnse, and a place in the martial arts register was guaranteed.

From now on, within Great Zhou, he would be a man of true status and no longer be an outsider.

Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e'-

Even when he went out, soone would call out, "My Lord."

It was all because his daughter was short-sighted that he lost an excellent son-in-law.

For a mont, Li Linfeng beca dispirited and called out to Shen Xiu, "Miss Qi, help back to my room to rest."

"Yes, my lord," Shen Xiu stepped forward to support Li Linfeng, yet her gaze occasionally wandered towards her nephew Shen Qing.

Living in the inner courtyard, she knew little about outside affairs, so her understanding of her nephew Shen Qing was rely superficial.

She only knew that her nephew possessed so talent in Martial Arts and had been taken as a direct disciple by her husband, which had pleased her for a long ti.

However, besides these, she was completely unaware of the specific progress of Shen Qing's martial training.

It was not until today that she saw Shen Qing, with a simple gesture, defeat those insufferably arrogant opponents and even kill the Boss of Mi Gang with one arrow as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs.

Only then did she fully realize that her nephew was far more than what he appeared to be.

The power he contained far exceeded her imagination.

Just now, she clearly heard that it was Shen Qing who slaughtered the tiger demon!

Seeing the respectful manner of the governnt officer before him, she was so excited that she could hardly speak.

Finally, soone from the Shen Family had made a na for themselves.

Never again would anyone comnt on her background.

With that thought, as Shen Xiu passed by Fifth Miss and the others, she unconsciously straightened her back, her face filled with pride and arrogance.

The others pursed their lips, said nothing further, and rely bowed their heads.

Shen Qing did not notice the ulterior motives of these people and continued to sit by the railing, drinking cold tea.

When he felt the timing was right, he straightened his appearance and strode out of Linfeng Hall.

By then, outside Linfeng Hall, A Fu had prepared the carriage early under Li Linfeng's instructions and was waiting.

Shen Qing asked in surprise, "Brother A Fu, what is this?"

A Fu replied, "The master instructed , saying that it doesn't suit Junior Brother Shen to go out without a carriage, so he specifically tasked to give Junior Brother Shen a lift."

Shen Qing smiled wryly and generously headed towards the carriage, "Then I am in your care, brother."

Quick witted, A Fu actively assisted Shen Qing into the carriage.

Once Shen Qing was seated, he whipped the reins, heading towards the governnt office.

The carriage was lined with soft carpets emitting a faint fragrance, making Shen Qing feel very comfortable.

The carriage traveled unhurriedly down the main streets.

As the carriage passed through the bustling area, Shen Qing gradually heard nurous sounds of music and dance.

Curious, he used the back of his hand to brush aside the curtains, peered through the small carriage window, and saw the townspeople celebrating the slaying of the tiger demon with song and dance, full of joy and excitent.

Shen Qing chuckled silently, let the curtain fall, and sat cross-legged inside the carriage, closing his eyes.

He listened to the clamor outside, the corners of his mouth bearing an almost imperceptible faint smile.

After a while, as the carriage rocked gently, it suddenly stopped.

"Whoa! Junior Brother Shen, we have arrived," A Fu pulled up the reins and stopped the carriage, announcing.

Sitting inside the carriage, Shen Qing quietly opened his eyes, "Good."

He responded and stepped out of the carriage, standing at the entrance of the governnt office.
