[Name: Wang Duan (Ling Zhiyuan)]
[Age: 16]
[Cultivation: Martial Sect]
[Technique: Xuan Tian Seven Deadly Wheel (non-poisonous): 74/500]
[Skill: Qi Looking]
[Potential: 396]
[Qi Luck: 75]
Within the quiet room, Wang Chen, who had just finished his morning training, closed the data panel.
After stepping into the fifth rank, the cultivation speed of the Xuan Tian Seven Deadly Wheel, which he had majored in, had slowed down considerably, and it was ten times tougher to increase his strength.
Although Wang Chuan still invested potential points at a 1:1 ratio to increase his skill proficiency, it was clearly impossible to cultivate the Xuan Tian Seven Deadly Wheel to the peak of the Fifth Order in a short period of time.
Most importantly, opening the Sixth Severing Wheel – Removing Obscenity required mastering the sixth layer of the Xuan Heavenly Seven Severing Wheel’s technique.
That would require him to go to the Yuntai Mountain Dao Palace to obtain it!
Thus right now, Wang Chen could only play it safe and take one step at a time.
However, his Qi Luck value jumped 50 points after he officially assumed the position of Donglu Prefecture Guard Hundred and Demon Suppressing Lieutenant.
Wang Chuan was able to confirm that this fortune point was closely related to his status and popularity in this world.
He also didn’t know what kind of reward he would get for killing Soul Breaker Gun Huang Jue!
Thinking in his heart, Wang Chen left the quiet room and came to the outer hall.
A pretty maid immediately greeted him, curtsied and said, “My lord, breakfast is ready.”
With that, she served hot water and towels.
Wang Chen took it and wiped his face, then sat down to enjoy the sumptuous breakfast.
The maid, Shyun, served at the side.
It had to be said that having an additional maid around who was well versed in household chores and understanding, the quality of life was really greatly improved.
With Sikyun acting as a housekeeper, Wang Chen didn’t need to spend his precious time and energy on household chores, allowing him to focus on improving his cultivation strength.
In addition, Shiyun had excellent posture and was good at playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had been nurtured extremely well by the Yao family.
Wang Duan kept her by his side, even if he didn’t let her warm his bed and serve him, it was still enough to spice up his body and mind, making his life not too boring.
Moreover, Shiyun’s cooking skills were very good, and all the meals she made were quite delicious.
After a few days, Wang Chen was very satisfied with her.
After breakfast, Wang Dust pulled out a stack of silver bills and handed them to Shyun, saying, “These silver taels will be given to you for safekeeping, all of the family’s expenditures will come out of it, and you can go and buy a few more subordinates to come back and do some menial work, so as not to work too hard for yourself.”
If a woman like Sikyun was born in a big family, she would be a golden girl who would be admired by millions of people.
Wang Dust did not want to treat her harshly.
“The slave girl doesn’t work hard.”
Shiyun replied in a panic, “These jobs, the slave girl can do them all by herself, don’t worry!”
She spoke a bit hastily, her pretty face flushed lightly, inadvertently revealing a hint of intoxicating flavor.
Wang Duan guffawed, “Anyway, you watch over it.”
Shiyun nodded her head vigorously, “Uh-huh.”
She had been sold to the Yao family as a slave since she was a child, and she had known from a long time ago that the meaning of her existence was to be raised by the Yao family and then used to bestow favors and enlist others.
Therefore, Shy Kyun had always remained a virgin and had learned a lot of knowledge and skills.
For the Yao family, Shiyun is actually grateful, after all, without the Yao family, she does not know where she would have ended up.
The only thing that Shiyun hoped for was that the Yao family would send her to a person of good character.
It would be good if it wasn’t the kind of person who was abusive and brutal.
After all, a maid like her was merely the property of the family head, and there were no consequences for beating her to death.
What Shiyun did not expect was that Yao Peng, the Yao family’s family head, had given himself to Wang Chen.
Wang Dust is not only young, but also has a handsome appearance, and his status is even the Blood Clothes Guards Hundred Tenants, and is deeply trusted by Yao Peng.
Moreover, Wang Chen is still alone, without any relatives and family members.
To be able to serve such a task, the previous Shiyun really is not even dare to dream of ah!
Therefore, not to mention this household chores, even if it was twice as hard, she would still be happy to do it, and would be reluctant to recruit new people in.
But this little thought, but can not be said out!
At this time, outside the mansion suddenly came a rush of hoofbeats, and then someone knocked on the door: “Sir, Sir Wang!”
Wang Dust asked Shyun to open the door, then welcomed in a Blood Clothes Guard.
“Sir Wang!”
The blood-clothed guard respectfully bowed to Wang Duan, then presented a thick secret letter with both hands, “This is what Lord Zhenfuzhuang asked my subordinate to give to you!”
Wang Dust took one look at the fire paint branded on the top of the letter and realized, “Tough job.”
There was a mission!
For the past half a year, the boundaries of Donglu Prefecture had not been very peaceful, with demonic rebels popping up all over the place, constantly creating trouble and exhausting the Blood Clothes Guards.
Just last month, a mountain village with a population of hundreds of households was subjected to a demonic robbery, leaving the entire village with no chickens or dogs.
The real culprit has yet to be found.
Not only that, even inside the most heavily defended Prefecture City, there were several bloody cases involving demons.
The sons of some families have been killed!
And these news were tightly sealed off, or the capture of the real culprit was announced to close the case, so as not to cause panic amongst the commoners.
But in reality, the Blood Clothes Guards in Donglu Prefecture City had been preventing similar murders from occurring again or continuing to track down the true culprits, and with the need to deal with the Rebel Party, they were stretched thin in terms of manpower.
A high-end combatant like Wang Duan definitely could not be left idle.
And this time, the task Yao Peng gave to Wang Dust was a large-scale missing person case.
In the past three months, dozens of people had disappeared from the realm of Donglu Province, not seeing anyone alive or dead, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.
These missing people were both officials and sons and daughters of big families, as well as martial arts experts and merchants.
In short it was very complicated.
Since some important people were involved, the government guards sent their elites to investigate.
A large number of clues were also unearthed.
Considering that the murderer was not trivial, that was why the case was handed over to Wang Dust to solve.
In fact, the clues had been there for a long time, and it was because of the fear of the murderer’s strength that Yao Peng did not take the risk of sending someone to solve it.
In this regard, the Blood Clothes Guards had suffered a great loss before, resulting in huge casualties.
And as the highest combatant in the Prefecture, Yao Peng couldn’t easily leave the Prefecture Guard’s office, which was why the case was delayed.
Under normal circumstances, he would need to ask for help from the Prefecture City, and now with Wang Chen, the newly promoted fifth ranked Martial Sect, then surely he couldn’t reach out to the top anymore, or else a reputation of incompetence would inevitably fall on Yao Peng’s head.
After reading the case files involved inside the secret letter, Wang Chen basically had a bottom in his heart.
“Shiyun, I’m going out for a trip.”
He said to Shyun, “It may take two or three days, you watch the home away from Li, if there’s anything you can find the government guards to solve it.”
Shyun was good: “Yes.”
Putting away the secret letter, Wang Chen went to the stables and took out the yellow hussar, then left the residence.
His destination was Guangping County within the Donglu Prefecture.
