Chapter 22.

Zhou An was still pondering how to carve to better save time.

Suddenly hearing Yu Hang say this, he raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice.

“They asked you?”

This day, Yu Hang was not in the room to touch the fish, ironically something had happened to make him like this.

Combined with what Yu Hang said just now, Zhou An knew that the other party must have asked Yu Hang.

After all, on that night in the first place, Yu Hang was the one who came into contact with the mysterious expert, so it was only right that the other party asked Yu Hang.

Yu Hang nodded, “They asked me about the Mysterious Masters, and I fooled them all, but I heard what Zhang Si County meant, and it seems that they want to find the Mysterious Masters to join forces and deal with the Beast Cult together.”

To be honest, Yu Hang was a bit worried.

There was a saying that if the wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it.

This brother of his own family had suddenly become an expert, and he couldn’t be happier.

But one also had to think of a realistic problem.

How many masters are there in this world, but how many of them can really die well?

The more exaggerated they were these days, the easier it was for something to happen.

So he tried his best to help Zhou An hide it.

But if anything really happened, Zhou An’s identity would be exposed.

Whether it would be good or bad at that time, who could say?

“You keep a low profile, don’t ever go and make things happen.” Yu Hang reminded.

Zhou An nodded, indicating that he knew.

He really didn’t mess things up.

Just that one time recently, when he encountered the members of the Zhen Gui Si and the Beast Cult Protector in the alley, he had stepped out on his own.

At that time, it was because he heard that the other party was a protector, and he just happened to have reached the third level of Blade Skill.

So he thought to test the strength of the Beast Sect and also to see if there was a gap between himself and the other party, so that’s why he struck out.

He didn’t expect the other party to be so unforgiving, and didn’t even last a breath of time in his own hands.

He thought about what Yu Hang said was also right, these days it’s better to keep a low profile, if you’re too high-profile it’s easy to be targeted.

“You still have to stay here at the courthouse?” Zhou An asked.

Yu Hang said helplessly, “I don’t have the ability to turn a sword into a line, I can only live here, I’m also afraid of encountering danger when I go out, but it’s nothing, it’s the same wherever I read.”

“That’s right, it’s safe here, the people of the Beast Cult won’t dare to do anything.” Zhou An said.

At this time, the constables also stood up, the time for dispersal of duty had arrived.

It was the same in any place.

When they went to work, they were grumbling, but when it was time to go off duty, they were like chicken blood.

Zhou An did not chat any further, he was still thinking about the matter of the sword skill, so he left the government office.

After returning home, Zhou An, however, did not immediately practice his knife skill, but instead looked at the pot in the kitchen.

“All abilities, they have to be developed in a balanced manner to be effective, having only one ability makes it easy to be targeted.” Zhou An thought.

He now had a total of two skills activated, but was not able to desert one of them.

These could be his cards.

With only one ability, the other party might mull it over and target him, but with an additional hidden means, the outcome would be very different.

Zhou An planned it out in his mind, and quickly came up with a result.

“Knife work during the day, upside down at night.”

He was now completely able to brazenly carve inside the government office, but not upside down pots.

He was just a helper cook, upsetting the pot in the courthouse would arouse suspicion.

But it was different at night.

At night at home, it was his own little world, so he could build it any way he wanted.

The most important thing was that pot-bending was still level two.

He could still increase his proficiency now, and he certainly wouldn’t give up.

After making his plans, Zhou An went to the kitchen and picked up the iron pot and started to upend it.

The proficiency was slowly rising, and there was a gained liver explosion that brought Zhou An a sense of exhilaration.

While Zhou An was exploding his liver, the other side was in trouble.

In Anding County, the place where the Zhen Gui Si was located was the very center of the entire county, even more prosperous than the Yamen.

The reason for all of this lay in the orders of the Emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom.

The Zhen Gui Division itself was meant to maintain the safety of a party from the guile.

That was why the existence of the Zhen Gui Division was even more necessary in the most prosperous places.

The Zhen Gui Division in An Ding County was a small, two-story building that stood out against the surrounding cottages.

But no people dared to approach this place.

This was because this mysterious organization brought a great sense of oppression to the people.

No one wanted to cause trouble, they all wanted to live a down-to-earth life.

Therefore, the hundred meters around the Zhen Gui Si, there were no people stepping foot.

At this moment, in a room in the very center of the second floor.

Zhang Si Xian was scratching his head laboriously, his face full of tangled colors.

There were six members sitting next to him, all of which were the leading members of Anding County.

There were only a few dozen people in total in the Zhen Gui Division of Anding County.

These six people were in charge of dozens of people, and could save Zhang Si County a lot of heartache.

During this recent period, they had done their best to suppress the Beast Cult based on the intelligence from above, and the results were quite fruitful.

A lot of people from the Beast Cult had been killed, and there hadn’t been anything particularly weird happening recently.

But next, Zhang Si County was a bit annoyed.

This was because the Beast Sect had actually chosen to turtle up after being suppressed.

Zhang Si Xian wasn’t afraid of the other party fighting hard against him, but he was afraid of the other party playing dirty.

He couldn’t find any traces of the Beast Sect now, so he could only do his best to guard Anding County, not letting the human life cases happen again.

But it’s not a good idea to keep dragging it out like this!

The thought that there were still people from the Beast Cult was like a piece of fishbone stuck in his throat.

Zhang Si County felt like there was a sword hanging above his head, ready to fall at any moment.

Their Zhen Gui Si was nothing, but in case the Beast Sect turned their retaliation to the common people, it would not be easy for them to guard these dozens of people.

There was a bottleneck on this matter.

The six officers in charge of the Zhen Gui Division didn’t dare to say much, and continued to remain silent.

This matter is very big, they do not dare to put the fire on themselves.

There is a saying.

Just do the things that the superior ordered down, don’t cross the line to engage in other things.

This way the higher ups don’t like it.

“How is the investigation into the matter of the mysterious expert going?” Zhang Si County broke the silence.

Since the matter of the Beast Cult was in a quandary, it would be good to change the method and investigate the Mysterious Master.

Last time, the people on their side were saved by the Mysterious Master, and they were able to surmise that the Mysterious Master was not on the opposite side of the fence from them.

Then it would be perfectly fine to pull the strings.

In a single breath of time, he was able to slice someone into pieces, and this blade skill made even Zhang Si Xian feel greatly surprised.

The left-handed subcontractor shook his head and said, “My lord, we searched the entire county, took out the household registers and compared them to each other, and didn’t find any outsiders coming in or out of Anding County recently.”

Another person interjected, “This is a small and remote county, not many people would come in and out, sir, I don’t think it could be someone from within our Anding County, right?”

Someone from within?

Zhang Si Xian tapped his fingers on the desktop, and after thinking for a while, he still felt that there was really such a possibility.
