Chapter 215 Heaven is Unkind, I Will Take My Own Responsibility (11)

After walking quickly for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the gate of Fan Mansion.

Nan Yue looked fine, except that her breathing was a little rapid.

In contrast, the frail scholar next to her looked as if he had lost half his life. He was gasping for breath on his knees and was almost collapsing on the ground.

Nan Yue ignored him and took a step forward, took out the notice and unfolded it, showing it to the servant of the Fan Mansion standing at the door, and said concisely, "I have uncovered the notice and come to exorcise the demon."

Her voice was obviously that of a young girl. The two servants looked at each other and one of them nodded, "Wait a moment, young lady. I will go in and report first."

In the spacious and luxurious hall of the Fan Mansion, there were several people dressed differently sitting there.

Mr. Fan looked haggard. It had been more than three months since his only son went missing, and he was afraid that he had died of a serious illness.

His worries made him age fast, and his hair turned completely white.

A few days after his son was abducted, he invited a famous monster catcher in Sunset City. Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to rescue his son, but all of the master's disciples died. The master himself was also seriously injured by the monster and is still unconscious. He only brought back the approximate location of the monster.

When the city lord found out, he sent his personal soldiers to rescue them, but without exception, not a single one returned.

He was really left with no other options, so he posted notices inside and outside the city, offering higher and higher rewards to see if there was any capable person passing by who could come to the rescue.

Unfortunately, only half-wits came. Later, even half-wits stopped coming. Fortunately...

This time he finally found a master, who was introduced to him by an old friend.

Master Fan looked at the middle-aged man in Taoist robes and said respectfully, "Master Feng, thank you for leading the team to rescue my son this time."

Master Feng twirled his beard and said, "Master Fan, don't worry. I will definitely rescue your son for you."

With Master Feng's words, Mr. Fan's expression finally looked better.

Sitting on the other side were what looked like a pair of demon-catching siblings. They had peach wood swords on their backs, the sister had a string of copper coins hanging around her waist and a small bag full of talismans slung across her body, while the brother had a gourd wine jug hanging from his shoulder.

Compared with the Taoist robes worn by middle-aged men, they seem more casual.

But he is also a man of real ability.

The female demon catcher rolled her eyes secretly and muttered, "It hasn't even started yet, you're not afraid of getting your tongue stuck if you brag."

Where did this "master" come from, and why did he lead them into the team?

"Amitabha, female donor, please don't talk about others behind their backs."

The young monk who was sitting next to Master Wan and chanting silently with his eyes closed suddenly spoke.

Now, everyone's eyes were on her.

Facing Master Feng's somewhat displeased gaze, the female demon catcher curled her lips and wanted to continue speaking, but the fellow apprentice beside her gently patted her hands and called her "senior sister", so she had to endure it.

Those who practice Taoism and Buddhism are all here, so why isn’t there someone who practices magic?
She secretly complained in her heart.

The arrival of the butler broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere. He leaned close to Mr. Fan's ear and whispered a few words.

Mr. Fan was a little surprised, but he still said, "Please come in."

……

Nan Yue waited at the door for a long time before a man who looked like a housekeeper came over and invited her in.

Yun Ci, who had recovered, hurriedly followed without saying a word.

Facing the housekeeper's suspicious gaze, he straightened his back, opened his folding fan and waved it twice, "We are together."

The butler turned his attention to Nan Yue again.

The scholar called her, "Miss Jiang..."

Nan Yue was silent for a while, then reluctantly said, "Together."

The housekeeper had an idea in his mind, probably another half-wit who came here to get gold or a free meal.

Seeing the scholar looking around the mansion with the look of an ignorant country bumpkin, the butler became more certain of his thoughts.

She regretted a little why she informed the master instead of just turning them away. Nan Yue was also looking around secretly, just to remember the details. This was her habit. Whenever she arrived at an unfamiliar place, she would take a good look, so that she would not lose her way if something unexpected happened.

Her vision was obscured by the white gauze hanging from the hat, so no one noticed it.

The scholar came up to her and spoke to her in a low voice while the butler was leading the way and not paying attention to them.

"The people of Sunset City say that the Fan Mansion is magnificent, and even the floor tiles are paved with gold. Now look, it's just like that."

Nan Yue said in a calm tone, "It's just a rumor, and you actually believed it."

The scholar's eyes lit up, with a hint of surprise, and he said, "Miss Jiang, you are finally willing to pay attention to me."

All the way to the Fan Residence, she ignored him no matter what he said.

Nan Yue pursed her lips and silently quickened her pace...

"Okay, Miss Jiang is ignoring me again."

The scholar sighed, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

The girl didn't stop walking, and her voice reached his ears, "Go, I won't wait for you."

"understood."

Even though his legs were sore from walking all the way to Fan's house, the scholar still tried his best to catch up.

He walked side by side with her, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I won't hold you back."

The two followed the butler into the hall...

The moment she stepped into the house, Nan Yue raised her hand and took off her bamboo hat, revealing a fair and beautiful face, but she looked like a teenager...

The scholar paused, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

When Mr. Fan saw the figures coming in, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. The frail scholar and the young girl didn't look like either of them could exorcise demons.

"You were the ones who unveiled the notice?"

Nan Yue showed the notice to the housekeeper and said in a deep voice, "Yes, we are here to exorcise the demon."

Mr. Fan took it and took a look, and found that it was indeed the demon-eliminating notice that he had written himself.

His tone was quite polite. "May I ask where did you two learn from?"

Master Feng glanced at them, then picked up the teacup and started drinking, apparently not taking them seriously.

Nan Yue spoke frankly: "I don't have a master, so I have to learn all my skills by myself."

The scholar withdrew his gaze from the girl's face.

Then he answered: "I am a student of Asahikawa, my master is Mr. Liu, and my fellow disciples are Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Xing..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Fan asked again, "Maybe I don't have enough experience. May I ask which school or sect Asahikawa is it? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Because of his son's affairs, he now knows a lot about monster catchers and some famous schools of thought.

He had never heard of this Asahikawa and had no idea how strong he was.

Master Feng's expression did not change, but his ears pricked up quietly. Could it be that he had made a mistake and that this scholar was a member of a new sect?

Even the monk opened his eyes, waiting for his answer.

Only Nan Yue looked calm, as if she had guessed something.

Yun Ci blinked innocently, with a simple look on her face, "Xuanchuan is the academy in our area. It's where I studied since I was a child. It's far away from Sunset City. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

He curled his lips and smiled, "You can go and have fun some other day if you have the chance. The scenery is great!"

"Pfft hahaha!"

The female monster catcher finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. Where did this scholar come from? He must have become stupid from reading too much. It's so funny.
