Chapter 79.

The black qi hovered and was extremely fast, heading straight for Zhang Xiuxiu.

This happened so abruptly that everyone present did not expect it.

“Ah!!!”

By the time they reacted, Zhang XiuXiu had already been engulfed by the black gas, and miserable cries came from within.

Zhang XiuXiu rolled and struggled on the ground, but the black aura was like a maggot attached to the bone, it simply couldn’t be dispersed.

The miserable screams became more and more miserable.

In less than a second, Zhang Xiuxiu turned into a field of withered bones.

Zhang Si Xian was the first to react, he instantly struck out, stuck the neck of the Zhen Gui Si member and pressed him against the wall, his tone becoming sinister: “You’re a traitor!”

Sheriff Xie drew out his long knife and put it on the other side of the Zhen Gui Si member’s neck.

It was also the first time Ye Frost had encountered this situation.

Several talismans appeared at his fingertips.

The member of the Zhen Gui Si had fallen into silence since releasing this black aura, keeping his head down and not saying a word.

The murderous aura on Zhang Si Xian’s body became even more severe as he questioned, “I treated you like a brother and gave you a high rank and salary, yet you betrayed me, you are that mysterious person’s pawn, aren’t you?”

The member of the Zhen Gui Si smiled bitterly, “Your honor has treated me well, what I did today, I am ashamed of your favor, please kill me.”

This meaning was that one no longer wanted to live.

“Why?” Zhang Si Xian couldn’t figure it out.

“Everyone has times when they can’t help themselves, as for the reason, I don’t want to say any more, Your Excellency, I know the methods of the Town Gui Si dungeon, and I also know that you definitely want to probe for information from my mouth, but there is no more chance for that.” The member of the Town Guile Division said.

“For me, a simple death is best.”

“Besides, I know the means of the Inspection Division, you can’t invoke your souls.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Zhen Gui Division member slowly lowered his head, the vitality in his body having been severed.

There was black blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth, and it was obvious that he had taken poison and killed himself.

Zhang Si Xian broke open the mouth of the Zhen Gui Si member and realized that there was a poison capsule hidden inside, which had been bitten through.

“Bang!”

He threw the body of the Zhen Gui Si member onto the ground and clenched his fists, veins rippling on his fists, already on the verge of anger.

If this matter were to spread out, the Settlement County Town Guile Division would become a joke.

The organization that governed the bizarre and the jianghu people had been infiltrated by someone else, and had even made it to the position of a sub-division member.

Even if he wasn’t laughed at, he himself felt shameless.

“Lord Zhang, now is not the time to get angry, calm down.” Sheriff Xie said.

Ye Frost didn’t have any expression on her face, she didn’t know how to persuade people at this time, she still maintained her usual coldness and followed.

“Right.”

This was like saying “I’m the same”, only when she said it instead, it gave off a feeling of few words and coldness.

Zhang Si Xian also knew that now was not the time to get angry.

He took a deep breath, “Mr. Ye, Lao Xie, we still have a chance to turn the tide.”

Just because Zhang XiuXiu was dead, it didn’t mean the clues were gone.

Sheriff Xie froze, unsure.

Although Ye Frost had a pure mind, she was not stupid, if a stupid and foolish person could become a disciple of the State Master, there would be too many people in this world.

“Plotting a trick.”

She said four words coldly and quietly.

Zhang Si Xian nodded.

Sheriff Xie looked left and right, completely confused as to what the two were talking about.

There were many things that happened this night, and the entire Anding County was in a state of darkness, only Zhou An was still following her usual habit of livering proficiency.

The next day.

Zhou An woke up early, washed up, practiced the Butcher’s Sword Technique for a while, and then went out alone.

His and Yu Hang’s routine was now completely different.

Yu Hang didn’t like to be interrupted, so he went to the government office early.

After the dawn, he read in silence at the yamen.

Zhou An had planned to eat some noodles, but today, the liver had to be put in, and the time was a bit too late.

He was worried about going overtime and having to deduct his salary when the time came, so he was going to buy a pancake and eat it while walking.

It was the same familiar pancake stand.

Zhou An paid and settled the bill, patiently waiting for the pancakes to come out of the oven.

Just at this time, a familiar sound of footsteps came from behind him.

Before Zhou An could turn his head, he saw a head poking out from behind him.

Ye Frost had turned into the gray girl’s appearance again, with a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but didn’t dare to say it.

Zhou An felt Ye Frost’s eyes and spoke to the boss, “Add a pancake.”

Ye Frost immediately smiled happily.

Soon, Zhou An got two pancakes, handed one of them to Ye Frost, and walked towards the courthouse.

Ye Frost hesitated for a moment and silently followed behind.

The two of them ate the pancakes as they walked forward, neither of them speaking.

After about half a column of incense, Ye Frost had finished the pancakes in his hand.

Zhou An looked at the pancakes that were still half left in his hands, and then looked at Ye Frost’s empty palms, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

This girl’s speed of eating was really fast.

Such a large pancake was actually eaten up within just half a pillar of incense, even faster than herself.

Zhou An said breathlessly, “What the hell do you want?”

Ye Frost tilted her head and said, “I was thinking that it’s no fun to eat alone, so I wanted to eat with you.”

Zhou An skimmed his lips, “If you say this, will a single person believe it?”

Ye Frost didn’t say anything, looking at the empty palm, her eyes drifted outside again.

The corner of Zhou An’s mouth twitched slightly, “You’re swinging for the fences aren’t you?”

Ye Frost strangely said, “What’s posing for shit?”

“It’s when you know that I found out your identity, and you’ve now ……” Zhou An didn’t finish his words because he felt that Ye Frost’s eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

In a way, it was a bit scary.

Ye Frost didn’t know what Zhou An was thinking, but she had another thought in mind.

This morning, she was preparing to come out in disguise again to get something to eat and stroll around the streets again in the meantime.

While she was wandering around, she came across Zhou An.

Her personality was a secret, but now that secret was known to Zhou An.

So she wanted to lean over and probe to find out what was going on.

But to her utter surprise, after smelling the scent of pancakes, she forgot what she wanted to come over for.

It wasn’t posing, but the pancakes smelled too good.

Especially since Zhou An had bought her one, she was completely at a loss for words.

“The pancakes are delicious.” Ye Frost said.

Zhou An stopped and frowned.

Ye Frost was slightly flustered at the sight.

Zhou An asked, “Don’t you usually go out?”

He always felt that Ye Frost gave him an inexplicable sense of immediacy.

How to put it, it was like a house girl.

Suddenly seeing the vast world outside and approaching it with a strange and curious mindset.

Ye Frost hesitated for a moment, stretched out his left hand and broke his fingers with his right hand.

“Every day I just listen to the teacher’s lectures, study, eat, and set up the tasks the teacher taught me.”

“When doing the tasks, you are not allowed to talk to anyone, that is, during this recent period of time, the teacher let me come out alone to experience ……”

Understood.

Zhou An finally understood.

This girl was not a geek girl.

It was the lack of life experience.

He also understood what the State Teacher meant.

It wasn’t hard to guess what the State Master meant.

Such a girl with no life experience, even if she was the ninth disciple of the State Master, would still be troublesome.

Especially with this identity, it was easy to create a threat.

The reason was simple.

This kind of girl was particularly easy to trick.

All it took was a few simple words to trick them.

Zhou An also finally understood why Ye Frost gave off a cold feeling.

This was a layer of camouflage, the camouflage method handed over to Ye Frost by the State Master.

This so-called training was to improve Ye Frost’s experience.

After figuring everything out, Zhou An pondered for a moment and said, “Then there is no need for you to follow me, right?”

Hearing these words, Ye Frost finally woke up and knew what he was going to do today.

“You won’t say anything about me, right?” Ye Frost bit her lip and asked carefully.

“Won’t.” Zhou An waved his hand airily.

It was true that he would not say anything out.

In fact, apart from offending the State Master, more importantly, he could not bully a fool.

Ye Frost asked again, “Then I won’t say anything either.”

Zhou An gazed at Ye Frost and said, “You’d better not say anything.”

Ye Frost hurriedly shook his head as if he was frightened, raised his left hand and made a swearing gesture, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my mouth shut.”

“That’s good, I’ll leave first.” Zhou An said another sentence and turned around to leave.

Ye Frost looked at Zhou An’s back and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.

There was a very funereal aura about her.

But this aura quickly vanished when she saw the snacks on the stall in the distance.

“Yummy, I’m coming!”

Ye Frost forgot everything and walked towards the snack stall ……

This was just a small episode that Zhou An had quickly forgotten.

After the dawn, he came to the kitchen as usual to practice the Butcher’s Sword Technique.

At noon, he went to the blacksmith store again and didn’t return to the government office until the afternoon.

He didn’t delay in the afternoon either, continuing to liver proficiency inside the kitchen.

He didn’t go to the Zhen Gui Si.

Now that Zhang Xiu Xiu had been handed over to the Zhen Gui Si, as long as there was news, he would naturally be notified.

He didn’t ask either, but instead grabbed the time to raise his strength.

Yu Hang was still the same as before, only more diligent than before, quite a feeling that he could definitely pass the exam this time.

Time gradually passed.

In these next few days, everything was calm and quiet.

Nothing unusual happened.

Zhou An’s recent life was extremely regular, and every day was all about making iron and practicing swords.

Not to mention, this feeling of liver proficiency would be addictive.

Of course, there was currently a small role to be added within this regular life.

Morning.

Zhou An woke up early and after practicing his sword skills, he went out to eat again.

This time, he didn’t eat pancakes, but at a familiar noodle stall.

“Two bowls of noodles.” Zhou An ordered two bowls of noodles.

Accompanied by the boss’s “Ok Le”, it wasn’t long before the steaming noodles came out of the pot.

Zhou An picked up his chopsticks and ate, and before he ate two mouthfuls, there was a gray-clothed figure, sitting across from him.

Ye Frost naturally picked up his chopsticks and shivered a mouthful of noodles.

“Delicious.”

Her face was full of enjoyment, her eyes shining brightly.

That’s right, during this period of time, there was one more Ye Frost in Zhou An’s regular life.

After the first day of eating pancakes, Ye Frost had, over time, come over to Zhou An every day.

In fact, Zhou An understood the reasoning, it was just that he was uneasy about him.

This is normal.

In exchange for his own also do not feel at ease, after all, we are all Ping Shui met well.

But this meal, indeed was Ye Shuang to rub down.

In addition to pancakes and noodles, there is also soybean milk, doughnuts, buns, all kinds of breakfast, Ye Frost is fancy rubbing meals.

Zhou An could do nothing about it.

He realized that Ye Frost looked like a fool on the surface, but was actually not stupid, just inexperienced in life.

If someone really thought of Ye Frost as a fool, they would definitely be surprised.

Of course, it was still easy to be fooled, it was just that the risk was reduced a bit.

“Eat slowly, a disciple of the State Master, haven’t you eaten a bowl of noodles yet?” Zhou An knocked his chopsticks.

Before the words were finished, the bowl of noodles was at the bottom.

Ye Frost lifted his head and innocently said, “Teacher said that people who cultivate must be pure of heart and mind, and it’s pathetic for me to eat thin porridge with green vegetables every day.”

Whenever Zhou An talked about this, Ye Frost put on a pitiful face.

At first, Zhou An was really fooled into thinking that Ye Frost had a hard life despite her background.

But every time he used the same expression, Zhou An also knew that this guy Ye Frost was faking it.

This girl, pure and simple was just delicious!

As long as it was food that tasted okay, she would come and go.

“By the way, Zhang Si County said that there might be some movement recently.” Ye Frost wiped her mouth, and although her mouth spoke, her eyes drifted elsewhere again.

“Oh? The trick will finally be implemented.” Zhou An raised his eyebrows.

In the past few days, Zhou An had also asked about a few things.

Zhang Si Xian was very smart.

He was indeed worthy of sitting in this position and discovered the blind spot of that assassination of Zhang XiuXiu.

When Zhang XiuXiu said that she didn’t know anything else, but she was still assassinated, the meaning was obvious, and the person behind it probably thought that Zhang XiuXiu knew everything.

Thus, Zhang Si Xian planned to use this as a trick.

Claiming to the outside world that Zhang XiuXiu was not dead and was being tortured by the Zhen Gui Si.

The last few days had been quiet, which was to act as if they needed time to ask for information.

This also gave the other side a signal.

There were only two scenarios for the person behind it now.

One, to assassinate Zhang Xiu Xiu again, and the other, to wait until Zhang Si County to continue baiting the enemy.

Obviously, the other party was also a smart person and knew the difficulty of assassinating again.

So Zhang Si Xian was prepared to implement the second plan.

He planned to release the dead Zhang Xiuxiu as a bait.

Whether or not the bait could catch fish depended on whether or not the person behind it was willing to act.

These were the news Zhou An had received so far.

He was also waiting.

Right now, on his side, it was rather like a bit of a keeper.

“Eat less, I’ll leave first.” Zhou An estimated that the time for ordering was approaching, and left the stall after settling the bill.

Ye Frost let out an oh-so-slight sound.

It was quite boring to eat here alone, so she didn’t continue to loiter and walked towards the way she came.

After ordering, Zhou An was his usual self and continued practicing the Butcher’s Sword Technique for a while until noon, when he went to the blacksmith’s store again.

Blacksmith Zhao still stayed in the blacksmith store in a bored voice, clicking and clacking the iron.

Seeing Zhou An coming, he greeted him.

During this period of time, the two were quite familiar with each other.

Zhou An, familiar with the way, came to the slightly smaller anvil, picked up the hammer, and very skillfully went through the process of beating iron.

The red-hot iron material was placed on the anvil by him, and Zhou An’s gaze became serious.

Today, iron beating was able to rise to the third level.

Zhou An lifted the hammer and landed heavily on the anvil, sparks splashing everywhere.
