Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 569
After a hearty meal and a good drink, Xie Chuantang was still busy with the complicated case files in the government office. He said goodbye downstairs and left.

After all, it was a leisurely time after the big things were settled, and Pei Ye still heard a lot of things from the girl. For example, Cheng Xiaozhu, who was reunited with his family on the night of the destruction of Taiping Canal, had been delivering pork and eggs to the government office for a month. The girl also kept asking about the young constable who had questioned her for testimony that day. The government office was confused for several days and couldn't find out who had a face as young as seventeen or eighteen years old. It was not until Xie Chuantang heard about it a few days ago that he realized that she was looking for Pei Ye.

The female detective said that she was given the Vermillion Bird Sword bet on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month and told that her benefactor would be beaten, but she didn't know whether she came that day or not, and she couldn't see clearly in the crowd.

It is also said that Li Zhao is about to enter the Taoist sect. Now that Prime Minister Yuan is in the court, Lord Di wants to send him back to the Dali Temple, where there is more space, and replace him with a female detective as his deputy.

Pei Ye felt that this transfer was quite appropriate. Lord Li Zhao was originally a temple secretary, a talented general who could handle everything from being an official to investigating cases. Xie Chuantang was skilled in investigating cases and familiar with the market, so he would be a more suitable assistant to the Jingzhao Yin.

The young man named Zhang Piaoxu always went to the government office to ask about the news of the little mermaid, and he always ran into the great constable Xie. Once he hid by the wall, wanting to wait for Xie Chuantang to leave before asking, but he was caught in the blink of an eye. That time his face was red and purple, and he was seriously injured. When he asked, it turned out to be another street fight between knights.

"This is the most meaningless thing." Xie Chuantang finished the drink in one gulp, picked up some food and said, "A bunch of teenagers, they really think they are some kind of chivalrous knights, wearing swords bought by others, riding horses given by others, following Brother Zhou and Young Master Wang, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives for a word."

"But that's just a game for young masters who practice martial arts. They compete with each other in bravery and ferocity, have hundreds of followers, and watch people being mutilated and killed. When they reach a certain age, the young masters will pack up their belongings and go to school and join the army - or just give up when they get tired of it." Xie Chuantang said, "The rest can only scatter and become hooligans in the streets. What's the point of investing your life in this?"

However, this young man was very firm in his promises. He had already handed over the house with the mortgage and rent, and had been staying at his friend's house in a slovenly manner these days. He said that he had saved twenty-three taels of silver and would definitely return it to Pei Ye with interest.

Pei Ye stopped eating chopsticks after hearing this and pointed, "First ask him to hand over the twenty-three taels to me."

Xie Chuantang laughed non-stop.

The young man was indeed inexplicably afraid of Xie Chuantang and behaved well whenever he saw him. And from that day on, Xie Chuantang suddenly had an idea and ordered the orphan to live in the west room of his house. He also collected one hundred wen from him every month and kept him under strict control as a suspect.

"In fact, they are not necessarily all bad habits." Pei Shaoxia, who has been the most naughty since childhood, said fairly, "The things that young people do with passion may seem boring and evil to adults, but the passion and loyalty they put into it are pure. They just don't distinguish between right and wrong. Once they set foot on the right path, they can often succeed."

"Where did you learn this life lesson from?"

"A storybook." Pei Ye said bluntly, "It's a classic story about a naughty orphan being adopted into a decent sect. I recommend you read it on weekdays."

Xie Chuantang remained silent, and Pei Ye assumed she had agreed.

The two of them parted at dusk. Although Pei Ye was a little weak at this time, he had no burden walking around the city alone. He wrapped himself in a warm cloak, which was obviously the one that Xu Chuo had put on when he got on the car that day. It was indeed both windproof and warm.

Pei Ye held the kitten in his arms, rubbed its soft fur, and walked down along the Suzaku Avenue.

"I don't think Binglu hurt me." After a moment of silence, Pei Ye said to himself, "But it has indeed become shorter."

After waking up, Pei Ye looked inward at his own pulse tree. The word "burned out" was not a lie. They were really burning from the lush top downwards. At the same time, all 128 branches were burned down by less than one-tenth.

It took only three breaths from the time he activated Xiu Hu to the time he broke Li Zhi's "Tian Lin Yi".

"It turns out that Binglu is a big candle, but it burns too fast." Pei Ye sighed, "If it burns this layer, will I return to the sixth life?"

The boy actually found it hard to forget himself in those three breaths, and the sword in his hand. Everything in front of him, the sound of wind and snow, seemed to be shattered by his sword. But the price of reaching that realm was too high, just like a mortal climbing into the realm of gods, and three breaths made him weak.

"They grow and burn on their own, and all the inner energy they cultivate is given to you. You haven't helped them cultivate at all, so why are you dissatisfied?" said the black cat, looking ahead, the fur on its head swaying in the wind.

To be honest, Binglu is probably the most worry-free meridian tree in the world. You don't need to take care of it on a daily basis. It won't go bad and it won't be lazy. You can just feed it a few pills of some kind, and one day you never know when you'll wake up and it will be at an upgraded level again.

It burned for a while the day before yesterday, and it has grown back a little today. I even took a nap after taking the injection. It really never stops.

"It is the power itself that is more concerning." Black Cat said softly, not knowing what he was thinking, "Sword Forger... Yanbo, Hate Jade... Yiqi——"

Its head suddenly hurt, and Pei Ye felt its mind twitching as if it was suffocating. He raised his hand and pressed it on its forehead, using the Quail Head Heart Sutra to help calm it down a little.

"I think that if you can't remember this kind of information after trying it once, don't try again." Pei Ye said seriously, "Write it down. We can always uncover it later."

The black cat nodded and looked ahead quietly.

"I've gotten a lot stronger in the past month, little cat." Pei Ye smiled and rubbed it. "I think it's time to release you. You seem to be holding me back now."

"Not when you're about to drown that day."

"It's a different time now." Pei Ye walked, "Black Kitten! Report on your lessons and practice over the past month."

"I'm reading ancient books. The history of six thousand years ago is almost completely lost." Black Cat said, "And I'm practicing the way of fire. I see you're too busy to take care of the Chihuo. I'll lend it to you in the future."

"How's the repair going?"

"Chihuo is like my arm. There is nothing much to cultivate. Its growth mainly depends on new flames."

Pei Ye became interested: "Are there any new flames?"

In the past three months, he had only acquired the Red Lotus Fire. Although he had become invincible in the Pulse Realm, he still yearned for the vision of the "Tao Fire" that the Black Cat had mentioned at that time.

Black Cat paused for a moment, then said, "I have found a vague legend... It seems to say that the blood of your Emperor Tang can burn into a kind of 'Qilin Fire'..."

Pei Ye immediately covered its mouth and said calmly: "Don't seek death."

"Okay." Black Cat readily agreed, "Then I'll look for another target."
