Since Qin Feng stepped into the seventh stage of Righteous Qi, he hadn’t seen Miss Cang in Listen To Rain Pavilion again.
Even in the Demon Slaying Department, it was the same.
Si Zheng pinched his brow and replied, “Didn’t Little Cang tell you? Something happened in her family, and she needs to go back for a while.”
“I see.” Qin Feng nodded.
Miss Cang, who could casually give away the Universe Ring and treasures, must have a remarkable background.
Which family could it be?
The elite in Heavenly City or some prominent family in the Imperial Capital?
Qin Feng had always been curious why someone like Miss Cang would stay in the small city of Jinyang and join the Demon Slaying Department, which danced with death.
Although prying into someone’s background was impolite, Qin Feng couldn’t suppress his curiosity and asked, “Lord Si, what is Miss Cang’s identity?”
After a moment of contemplation, Si Zheng looked around to confirm no one was listening.Then he leaned in and whispered, “It’s fine to tell you, but I don’t know the specifics. When she joined the Jinyang City Demon Slaying Department…”
The first time Si Zheng met Cang Feilan, he was still a newbie who had just become a Chief. He was always cautious and hesitant before doing anything, like walking on thin ice.
That night, under a dark and windy moon, he was drinking in the Demon Slaying Department, probably on duty.
Suddenly, he heard movement outside the house. Following the sound, he looked towards the door and saw a robust middle-aged man walking in with a girl wearing a black square scarf.
No need to say more; that girl was naturally Cang Feilan.
When Si Zheng asked about their purpose, Cang Feilan’s eyes were cold, and she didn’t answer.
The middle-aged man didn’t say much either; he just took something out from his bosom.
Qin Feng understood what happened up to this point.
To become a member of the Demon Slaying Department, there were essentially two paths.
One was to rely on strength, go through layers of selection, and surpass the bureau’s threshold.
The other was to have someone recommend you directly, skipping the tedious process and getting in with one step.
Just like himself, it was because of the recommendation from the Southern Domain Commander that he could directly become a one-star Demon Slayer.
It seemed that Cang Feilan probably took the latter path.
“So, that middle-aged man took out a recommendation letter from a big shot, allowing Miss Cang to enter the Demon Slaying Department directly? Who wrote that recommendation letter?” Qin Feng asked.
As long as we know who the recommended prominent figure is, we can probably speculate about Miss Cang’s background.
Who would have thought, Si Zheng expressed confusion, “A recommendation letter? What recommendation letter? Instead of pulling out a recommendation letter, that middle-aged man took out a night pearl the size of an eyeball!”
“A night pearl?!” Qin Feng was bewildered.
‘”You don’t know what a night pearl is?! It’s a priceless treasure. A small one can buy a three story house in the Heavenly City!” Si Zheng emphasized.
“I know the value of a night pearl, but what does that have to do with Miss Cang joining the Demon Slaying Department?” Qin Feng raised his doubts.
“How is there no connection? That middle-aged man gave me a night pearl and requested to let Little Cang join the Demon Slaying Department.”
“Of course, I hesitated at the time, but JinYang City was too poor, and the Demon Slaying Department was shabby and not presentable.”
“In order to provide a better environment for my brothers, I could only turn a blind eye to my conscience and accept that night pearl.”
At this point, Si Zheng exhaled lightly, looked up at the sky, as if reminiscing about those days.
After selling the night pearl, the Demon Slaying Department underwent renovations, and he also used the remaining money to drink flower wine for many years.
Qin Feng immediately showed a disdainful look, ‘Speaking so clearly and transcending, isn’t this just bribery, opening doors for people! Shameless, shameless to the extreme!’
“Master Si, is what you did really in accordance with the rules?”
Si Zheng glanced at the other person’s expression, cleared his throat, and explained, “Jinyang City is a small place, not like the Heavenly City, where there are so many rules.”
“Moreover, I am the Demon Slaying Department Chief here. When I see the talent, I can specially recruit someone to join the Demon Slaying Department, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
Are you just appreciating someone’s talent?
You are just coveting someone else’s night pearl!
Qin Feng, feeling awkward to directly expose it, asked again, “Master Si, you’ve said so much, but I only know how Miss Cang entered the Demon Slaying Department.”
“As for her identity and the identity of that middle-aged man, I know nothing.”
“How come you don’t know? Anyone who can casually give away a night pearl can’t be an ordinary person!” Si Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Qin Feng thought about the treasured hairband on his head and the Spatial Ring in his arms, and did not comment.
His understanding of Miss Cang still remained at its original level.
However, his understanding of Lord Si had reached a new height — in simple terms, he is shameless.
“I won’t say much to you. If I go back late, considering Chief Zhou’s temperament, I’m afraid…”
Before the words were finished, Qin Feng’s expression changed, hastily making a gesture for silence.
Chief Zhou is a thirty-six-star expert, a high-ranking Daoist in the Hundred Ghosts Fourth Stage. With his soul strength, he can easily monitor any movement within the Demon Slaying Department.
Si Zheng also understood and felt a bit frightened. He cast a grateful look and then hurried towards the hall where Chief Zhou was.
Watching the departing figure, Qin Feng sighed inwardly, “Chief Zhou, the transformation of Lord Si is in your hands.”
When he arrived at the attic where the Divine Workshop people were, he saw the bottom furnace had extinguished, only the large and thick chimney on top was still steaming.
Many people were busy packing things.
Curious, Qin Feng stopped someone and asked, “What are you all doing?”
The person he stopped was quite unhappy. He was determined to be the first to finish packing, and now someone was holding him back, making him slower than others!
Just as he was about to get angry, after seeing the newcomer, his attitude immediately changed, “Master Qin, is it really you?!”
This statement caused a stir.
Many busy people stopped their actions and looked towards the sound.
Upon discovering that Master Qin had indeed come, they eagerly approached with excitement on their faces.
They had been contemplating the content of the last lecture day and night as if it were a precious treasure!
“Master Qin, we’ve been looking forward to your return.”
“Are you going to give us another lecture?”
“I have accumulated many questions here and would like to consult you.”
In the attic, Huo Yuan and Gong Liang also rushed over upon hearing the news. They were afraid of being late and missing Qin Feng’s explanation, falling behind in the path of learning new knowledge.
Especially Gong Liang, who missed the last lecture because he was assigned by the elder to inspect the protective barrier of Jinyang City. He still harbored resentment towards the elder.
Qin Feng pressed his hand, and everyone quieted down.
If you want to invite these craftsman to make wine, you can’t avoid today’s lecture. Fortunately, he drank two pots of tea before coming.
