Sister, stay away from me!

Chapter 83 Stolen Talents

"monster?"

Uncle Duan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course."

"That's easy to say. To be honest, we Confucian scholars also have the duty to drive away demons. Last night when I was studying by the river, I suddenly felt that there was a demon in the river, so I got up and chased after them, but my skills were not as good as others, so I was repelled."

Uncle Duan nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Although I was repelled, I could see very clearly that the evil spirit at that time was on one of the fierce men. And if I read correctly, it was a fox demon."

Since ancient times, scholars and foxes have always had an inexplicable relationship. What kind of vixen cooks, what kind of male fox warms the bed, are all things that everyone likes to watch.

Sometimes the fox wants the scholar, sometimes the scholar wants the fox, sometimes the scholar wants both, and sometimes the fox can't afford both.

In Zhiguai, where there are scholars, there must be foxes, this is already established.

But in fact, the relationship between the fox and the scholar is not very good.

A creature like a fox is quite human, and after absorbing strange things, it turns into a monster. It often follows the original spirituality to come to the academy, and borrows the awe-inspiring righteousness in the academy to wash away its own demonic energy, thus becoming a monster.

After becoming a monster, he is born with the ability to transform into a human form, and needs to repay his favor based on his previous experience.

After that, it is the content that everyone likes to hear.

But beasts are beasts, and they are often greedy and indulgent. As a result, the scholar gradually fades away, and finally his bones are broken and his studies are wasted, and he is reduced to medicine dregs.

Therefore, the Confucian school has a rule that if you see a fox demon, you must capture or get rid of it. Those who approach the fox rashly will be fined at least, and even lose their reputation if they are serious.

Ye Wenjin roughly explained the Confucianism's attitude towards the fox, and then continued: "So I suspect that this group of people should be bewitched by the fox demon, and then helped the fox escape. Now, I ask Mr. Tie Chu to help me catch it together. That fox demon."

Uncle Duan looked at Ye Wenjin, trying to figure out the true meaning of the other party's tone, and looked at the aura on the other party's body.

After stepping into the Land Immortal, Uncle Duan can already see the invisible magic power, even Haoran Zhengqi can clearly see it.

The awe-inspiring righteousness on Ye Wenjin's body stretched endlessly, spreading over his head like a canopy.

Moreover, this awe-inspiring righteousness is pure white in color, with a hint of green in it, and you can vaguely see splendid articles flying in it, which is truly spectacular.

This kind of person is not like a person who can tell a lie.

Uncle Duan was about to agree, when he suddenly heard someone come in: "Mr. Tie Chu, wait a moment to agree. Young master, you'd better not meddle in this matter."

Seeing the short and fat man walking in, Ye Wenjin's expression turned ugly: "Butler Liu, why are you here?"

The short and fat man didn't answer, but turned to Uncle Duan, and said with a smile: "My surname is Liu, with a single name of Qi, and I'm one of the housekeepers of the Ye family in the capital."

Facing Liu Qi's hospitality, Uncle Duan just nodded slightly, fully maintaining Tie Chu's cold-faced personality.

Liu Qi didn't care about Uncle Duan's indifference, and continued: "Mr. Tie Chu, this matter involves some private affairs of our Ye family. Please don't interfere with Mr. Tie Chu. Here is the golden tael, so treat it as a Mr. Iron Catcher’s money is gone.”

Looking at the gold sent by Liu Qi, Uncle Duan snorted coldly, raised his left hand like a zombie, put the gold in his pocket, and left here without looking back.

Behind him, Ye Wenjin and the other party were arguing in low voices, and finally they broke up.

After the quarrel, Ye Wenjin went out alone, went to a nearby restaurant and ordered a jug of water and wine, and the more he drank, the more depressed he became.

After drinking the whole pot, he slammed the table violently, touching the wound from last night, and frowned in pain.

But he still hummed dissatisfiedly: "What iron catcher, you're just a villain who forgets righteousness when he sees money!"

"Who is Mr. Ye talking about?"

The wine Ye Wenjin drank turned into cold sweat in an instant.

Raising his head, he saw that the iron catcher appeared in front of him at some point, his dead eyes staring straight at himself without any expression.

When did this person come!
Ye Wenjin's cultivation has reached the level of "governing the country", which is equivalent to the mana realm in the Immortal League, and he is already considered quite a powerful figure.

But when the iron catcher came, he didn't react at all. The opponent's martial arts were really as terrifying as the legends.

If the other party wanted to kill him, he couldn't react at all.

However, Confucian scholars have always regarded death as home.

Facing the iron trap's questioning, Ye Wenjin sneered: "Of course it's you."

"What's wrong with me?"

"I received the money, but dare not admit it!"

"I admit that I took the money, but did I promise the other party?"

Ye Wenjin was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Tie Chuan might not have agreed.

"Then what are you paying for?"

"Liu Qi wants to give it away, so if I don't accept it, I won't give him face."

"That's the truth, but it's still a little despicable."

"I don't need to say more about compliments, Mr. Ye, do you want my help?"

Ye Wenjin was immediately overjoyed, but still asked vigilantly, "Why did Mr. Tie Chu help me?"

"It is the duty of a warrior to eliminate demons and defend the way, even if he dies, he will not give up."

Ye Wenjin was in awe.

Tie Zhuo, also known as "Chasing the Murder for Thousands of Miles" and "Yi Bo Yun Tian", once traveled a long way to investigate a massacre, and even traveled far to the Western Regions, and finally brought the other party to justice.

For a promise, he was able to fly across the sea and go to the land of Fusang to hunt down the murderer. Afterwards, he didn't take any money, only took away the opponent's wooden sword.

When he said this, Ye Wenjin could even see the spirit in the other party's eyes, and the eyes like dead fish instantly became alive.

Touched by the other party's chivalry, Ye Wenjin bowed to the end: "Thank you, Mr. Tie Chu!"

"You're welcome, but Liu Qi's attitude is a bit weird. If you have any relevant information, please tell me so I can analyze it."

Ye Wenjin hesitated for a moment, considering what to say or not to say, and then said: "Liu Qi is one of the housekeepers of the Ye family. He is under the orders of my uncle Ye Hongru. I am not very clear about what he is responsible for. But I heard that, He is in charge of a secret matter of the Ye family."

"Hmm...can you elaborate on that?"

"I can't go into too much detail, I can only hint a little bit. Patriarch Ye has a younger brother, do you know about this?"

Both Uncle Duan and Wenjin Ye are smart people, and Uncle Duan will understand if Wenjin Ye hints a little.

Ye Hongru did have a younger brother, it was no secret.

However, Ye Wenjin specifically mentioned that there must be something hidden in it.

After thinking about the information about that younger brother, Uncle Duan found that there was very little information about him, only that he was known as the reincarnation of a sage when he was young, and a great Confucian in the world.

It's just that later, for some reason, he suddenly disappeared, and there has been no news since then.

However, Ye Hongru was originally of mediocre aptitude, but after his younger brother disappeared, he suddenly rose to prominence, published endlessly shocking articles, and soon became a great Confucian scholar and the head of the Ye family.

Combining these information and Ye Wenjin's hint, Uncle Duan finally had a guess.

Ye Hongru's talent was stolen from his younger brother!
