C29 To the City Lord's Mansion

To the mayor's office.

"Ye Zhifa, you said that you were the one fighting with the ghosts last night? Then you won and lost?"

"Junior Sister Chu, if I lost, would you still be able to see me here? Those few ghosts looked scary, but in reality, they couldn't even withstand a single blow. However, this also showed that there were indeed ghosts in the Return of Spring to City. It wasn't a rumor deliberately created by someone with ulterior motives. "

The next morning, on the way to the City Lord's Mansion on horseback, Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei talked about the night that happened last night.

The civilians in the Return of Spring to City knew not to open the doors and windows at night. Only Ye Zhifa did not know the rules, so he became the target of the ghosts' attacks.

Even though Ye Zhifa was afraid, he would not just sit there and wait for death at this time. He immediately raised his sword and faced the enemy. However, he didn't expect these few ghosts to look so ferocious. However, he cut them into black smoke one by one. He couldn't even find any clues from them.

After this battle, the fear in Ye Zhifa's heart towards ghosts had faded a lot. Since they were opponents that he could deal with, he didn't need to be so afraid.

Chu Qianwei repeatedly asked a few more questions. After figuring out the appearance of the ghosts, her small face couldn't help but turn pale.

"Junior sister, you don't want to tell me that you are afraid of ghosts, right?"

"Hu... Nonsense, I am not afraid of heaven and earth, how can I... be afraid of ghosts. If it were me last night, I would definitely have killed one with a sword."

She didn't have the nerve to say that. She had heard the strange noise outside the window when she was done, but she didn't have the courage to open the window. That was why she needed to ask Ye Zhifa what had happened.

Ye Zhifa didn't tease her. He went around the topic and talked about Journey to the West, which he hadn't finished talking about yesterday.

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Currently, in the study room of the Prefecture, the Return of Spring to City Master, Ran Maoxue, was discussing the matter of the Ghost Slayer with the Mayor, Duan Deyi.

"Sir Ran, why didn't you let me seal the four doors and search the entire city? There must be someone behind the scenes who instigated the matter of the ghosts. As long as we find the person behind it, we can naturally return peace to the Return of Spring to City."

"Sir Duan, I've already said it several times. There are tens of thousands of civilians in the Return of Spring to City. How long will it take for you to search every house? Moreover, it would be fine if we can find the messenger. If we can't find him, then it would be useless. "

"Even so, you can't just wait here! The higher-ups said they would send mutants here to get rid of ghosts. It has been half a month. Where is he?"

"You... Sigh, why does it not make sense to you!"

Similar quarrels had been happening over and over again in the past few days, and this awkward atmosphere was only alleviated when a soldier came in to report.

"Sir, there is a man and a woman outside the residence requesting to see you. They said that they are the people from the Zhehua Sword Palace Sect who are here to eliminate ghosts."

Ran Maoxue couldn't contain his joy when he heard the arrival of the Sword Palace. He slammed the table and said to Duan Deyi, "Did you see that? The mutants are here, right?"

After that, he ordered the soldiers, "Quickly let them in. I will meet them here."

"Yes, my lord, but..."

The soldiers were about to speak when they were interrupted by Ran Maoxue. "What's there to be but? Go! Go!"

"Yes, this lowly one will go now."

After the soldiers left the study, Ran Maoxue was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. His appearance immediately welcomed Duan Deyi's dissatisfaction.

"Sir Ran, they are just two mutants. They might not be able to solve the problem of the Return of Spring to City. Why do you have to lose yourself like this?"

"Master Duan, you are afraid that the mutants will solve the problem smoothly, which will make you look useless as the city guard, right?"

Duan Deyi's thoughts were exposed by him. He could not help but feel angry, but he had no words to say. He could only reply with a cold snort.

The two of them were in charge of the people's lives and military affairs respectively. They had been colleagues and enemies all these years. Even the disaster of ghosts had become a battlefield for them to scheme against each other.

Duan Deyi had thought of many radical ways to find the guide, and it was also to use this credit as his promotion capital. Now that the mutants had arrived, he had lost to Ran Maoxue.

However, when he saw Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei walking into the study, he suddenly felt that he might not be the loser.

"Master Ran, are you talking about these two mutants? Do you want them to dress up as a pair of male and female attendants, and then invite a god or Buddha to cheer for you?"

Ran Maoxue felt a little awkward when he saw Ye Zhifa and Ye Zhifa. He didn't know how to reply. Even he did not expect that the disciples sent by the Zhehua Sword Palace would actually be two young men and women in their teens.

When he heard Duan Deyi's evaluation, Ye Zhifa couldn't help but scratch his ears. Because of his age and skin appearance, he looked down on them. It could even be said that his ears had calluses. However, his mouth was on someone else's body. This guy in the military uniform didn't say anything bad. It was not good for him to beat someone up in the City Lord's Mansion.

But he was not prepared to flip out. Chu Qianwei beside him was not able to hold it in. She frowned and asked back, "What do you mean by this?"

"I am only speaking based on facts. Could it be that the two of you really have the means to get rid of ghosts?"

Since Duan Deyi was so curious, Chu Qianwei really wanted to let him see the means of the Sword Palace.

Chu Qianwei raised her hand and a green talisman paper flew towards Duan Deyi. Duan Deyi did not have time to close his eyes and was stuck on the talisman paper.

"Go and hit the wall! Hit the wall with your head!"

Under Chu Qianwei's dissatisfied command, Duan Deyi walked straight to the wall like a puppet and used his head to hit the wall.

Chu Qianwei did not stop him and Duan Deyi did not stop until he hit the wall. Not long after, his eyes turned white and he fainted. After he fainted, Chu Qianwei waved her hand again and the talisman flew back into her sleeve. She said to the unconscious Duan Deyi, "This time, you have seen my means, right?"

Seeing Duan Deyi like this, Ran Maoxue was surprised and happy. He quickly called the servant to carry Duan Deyi out. Then he said to Ye Zhifa and the others in a friendly manner, "The two senior disciples of the Sword Palace have good means. I am the City Lord of Return of Spring to City, Ran Maoxue. May I know your names?"

When he asked this question, Ye Zhifa was looking at Chu Qianwei. He was wondering where she had gotten the talisman paper from. Ye Zhifa understood in his heart that this talisman paper that could control mortals was not the means of the Sword Palace. He also did not know where Chu Qianwei got it from.

After hearing Ran Maoxue's question, Ye Zhifa hurriedly turned his head and introduced the names of the two people. Then, he asked according to his previous plan, "Let's read the file about ghosts killing people first. Is it convenient?"

"Easy, easy, where do you want to read it?"

The study room of the City Lord's Mansion was spacious and the lighting was excellent. Ye Zhifa suggested directly reading it here.

Ran Maoxue had nothing to do with it. Soon, the chairs and tea were brought up. After that, the dossier that recorded the ghosts and disasters was also presented.

Since a month ago, six people had died in the Return of Spring to City. Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei picked one from each of the six scrolls and read it.

When they finished reading all six scrolls, Chu Qianwei was naturally confused. However, Ye Zhifa only frowned.

Why were two of the six victims so special?
