Chapter 33.
What happened back there, Zhou An did not know.
He had already left the alley far away with Yu Hang’s support.
The streets at night were as quiet as water, and only the two of them were walking along the streets.
Yu Hang put one of Zhou An’s arms on his shoulder and held Zhou An’s back with his other hand, complaining, “You really can’t walk by yourself?”
From the time he left the alley, Zhou An had been pretending to be weak and powerless, and he still had to put on a show even after walking so far.
Zhou An whispered, “Doing the whole drama, we’re almost home anyway.”
Yu Hang was speechless and knew that Zhou An was right, so he could only change the topic and whispered, “What are you going to do back there?”
“That is the matter of the Zhen Gui Si, it has nothing to do with me.” Zhou An said.
He had indeed told the truth, and what came next had nothing to do with him.
The clues he also brought up.
Following the clues was Zhen Gui Si’s business.
He didn’t have as much information in his own hands as the Zhen Gui Si, so there was no need to get into this mess.
Yu Hang sighed.
He always felt that the distance between himself and his youngest friend was getting farther and farther away.
He grew up playing with mud together, but now he has become a mysterious expert, and he is still a poor scholar who has failed many exams.
This kind of contrast is really too strong.
The feeling of loss had never been as great as it was now.
“Old Zhou ah, how do you think you grew up? How did you suddenly become stronger?” Yu Hang said breathlessly.
Zhou An mused, “Probably this is the talent of an expert.”
Yu Hang: “……”
He felt that if he hadn’t been unable to beat Zhou An, he would have ironically given him two hard punches right now.
He asked a serious question, but Zhou An gave him a comical answer.
No more chatting!
The more he chatted instead, the more depressed he became.
Yu Hang also did not speak, just so assisted, the two came to Zhou An’s residence.
After sending Zhou An into his room, Yu Hang was ready to leave, but before he could take a few steps out, he was stopped by Zhou An.
“Stay here tonight.” Zhou An thought for a moment and said.
Yu Hang was slightly stunned, then reacted.
He was also a smart man and quickly understood what Zhou An meant.
During this period of time down the road, he had been at the government office just to watch out for the Beast Cult’s people.
After all, he had also come into contact with the Beast Cult, and in close quarters, and had almost lost his life.
Sending Zhou An home today, if Yu Hang went back to stay at his house again, he might be in danger.
And staying at Zhou An’s place was different.
Zhou An was now a renowned mysterious expert, and the Beast Cult would only be sent to their deaths if they came over.
The relationship between the two was so shallow that Yu Hang naturally didn’t ink it, and there were extra rooms here anyway.
“Wait, aren’t we still patrolling the streets?”
It suddenly occurred to Yu Hang that their current mission was to patrol the streets, so how did they somehow go home to rest?
Zhou An looked like he hated it, “Zhang Si Xian of the Zhen Gui Si has told us to go back, what the hell are we still patrolling for, after today’s mess, if the Beast Sect’s people still dare to come out and hang around, they’re really looking for death, so feel free to go to sleep.”
Yu Hang thought as if it was right.
It’s not like they’re AWOL.
It was someone else’s Zhang Si County’s intention, and now that they could rightfully touch the fish, it was certainly a good thing.
“Then I’ll go to sleep first, and don’t you say, occasionally patrolling the night is really quite tiring.”
Yu Hang yawned, and after saying a couple sentences, he went to the room next to him to rest.
Zhou An also went back to his room, as Yu Hang was here tonight, it was inconvenient to practice the Butcher’s Blade Technique and Upside Down Objects, so he didn’t have Liver Proficiency for the time being.
Lying on the bed, Zhou An looked at the ceiling.
It suddenly occurred to him that his proficiency was still a bit low.
Today, he was still lacking a lot.
And during this evening, he discovered one of his weaknesses.
Speed!
When he ran to that family’s house, took the iron pot and ran back again, he relied solely on the air in his body to brutally increase his speed.
If he really had to say it, the speed wasn’t really fast just faster than an ordinary person.
Butcher’s Blade speed +2, when making this blade technique, it does increase speed, but it is not subtle.
In a battle of life and death, a very good stance can turn the tide.
“I’ll have to ponder over this and develop speed-related abilities.” Zhou An thought.
The night was deep and passed quickly.
The night was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop except for a few bird calls.
The following day.
Zhou An and Yu Hang got up early and headed to the Yamen together to order their duties.
The two ate a bowl of noodles at a familiar stall.
During this time, Zhou An and Yu Hang chatted with each other, and not about last night’s events, but about things that had to do with the Unified Examination.
It would soon be the annual imperial examination, and Yu Hang was getting more and more nervous.
After all, he had taken the exam twice and failed both times.
Although it was due to the outside world, Yu Hang still could not help but feel a fuzzy feeling in his heart.
Zhou An comforted Yu Hang for a few moments, and after eating, the two of them went to the Yamen.
After the pointing was over, Yu Hang went to the door to wait for Zhou An.
This period of time was still tense, and they couldn’t touch the fish until the two-by-two patrol of the streets was finished.
Zhou An, on the other hand, found Master Xu and told him his thoughts.
Master Xu stroked his beard, “You said you want to be a cook and don’t want to patrol the streets anymore, is it hard to believe that you want to let go of the constable’s duty?”
“That’s not true, I’ll patrol the streets as usual when it’s my turn to patrol the streets, and I want to receive an extra salary after this mission is over.” Zhou An said.
Master Xu narrowed his eyes, “Zhou An ah, I know about last night’s incident, and I didn’t expect this person, Cook Liu, to be like this, but it might not be convenient for you if you have to wear several hats.”
As the magistrate of the government office, he was naturally well-informed.
Zhou An laughed, “Master Xu, we understand these things too, and the salary can be divided a bit as funds for the division’s operations.”
When he said that, Master Xu was happy.
Under the heavens, there was no such thing as having trouble with money.
The two of them discussed it and the matter was finalized.
The county magistrate was now in seclusion, and all the trivial matters were being taken care of by the master teacher, so this kind of small matter was nothing.
Zhou An achieved his purpose, and in the future, there is a place to touch the fish liver proficiency, but also happy to leave.
The two of them went out of the street and started another day of patrolling the streets.
Until it was almost time to disperse the value.
Sheriff Xie suddenly came back from outside and told Zhou An that he didn’t need to patrol tonight, and that he would rest after being injured last night.
Zhou An thought it would be fine, just go back and take a rest.
This day down, also did not hear what the wind blowing grass.
There was also no news from the side of the Zhen Gui Si, none of which was any of Zhou An’s business.
And after a day of thinking, he had already figured out the trigger method for the new skill.
Since it was a life-type skill, it had to be related to life to work.
Zhou An bought the food and went home to cook a meal, and after eating it in a hurry, he went out again.
It was still early at this time of the day, the sun hadn’t set and there was still residual light shining through.
The alley where Zhou An lives is very remote, no one passes by at this hour.
After looking left and right to make sure no one was there, he came to the end of the alley.
“Try it.”
Zhou An thought in his heart and bent his legs slightly.
