Chapter 52

Late at night, it was as quiet as water.

Outside the window, moonlight shadows intertwined on the trees, like countless twisted demonic shadows.

Lu Changsheng lay quietly on the bed.

For the past two months, the situation in the county town had a strange calm, as if it were before a storm.

Even the weirdness outside the city had decreased a lot, which was extremely abnormal.

Such an abnormal performance made him very vigilant in his heart.

He just wanted to take his loved ones and live well in this chaotic world.

"It seems I need to speed up the exploration of the Cangyun Mountain Range."

These days, the exotic beast clone probably encountered some difficulties, leading to a slowdown in Source Energy Points.

After a few days, Lu Changsheng must control the pangolin to solve some troubles.

Just as Lu Changsheng was enjoying the brief calm.

Outside the county town, in a dark room.

A beautiful woman sat on a jade chair, with baleful aura permeating her body, and her aura was extremely powerful.

In front of the woman, a man in black and masked was kneeling.

"Reporting to the Sovereign, all preparations are ready; when shall we start the action?"

The man's expression was very respectful, and his tone was gloomy.

"Let's act at the end of the year; you go and notify the Black Mountain Bandits first... the net has been spread, will the fish be far away?"

The woman's voice was very cold.

"Subordinate obeys the order."

After the man in black bowed, he retreated backward.

After the other party went far away, the woman looked quietly at the void in front, her eyes deep, as if time were flowing.

"Dozens of years, I don't know what the scene will be like next time we meet, County Lord? Hehe..."

The next day, early morning.

The three of them had just finished eating in the courtyard when suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums came from the street outside the courtyard.

Immediately after, a group of people walked into their courtyard.

The middle-aged man leading them was wearing a scholar's robe and a white crown on his head, looking very elegant.

The man was also holding a document in his hand.

On the tray in the hands of an attendant beside him, a set of neat official uniforms was placed, looking quite gorgeous.

"Lord Lu, congratulations."

The middle-aged man in the scholar's robe walked up quickly, his face full of smiles.

Lu Changsheng immediately stood up to welcome him, his expression somewhat puzzled.

He had always been very low-key and rarely interacted with others; he didn't know what kind of play the other party was performing today.

Seeming to see Lu Changsheng's confusion, the middle-aged man did not drag his feet and said directly: "After joint deliberation by the County Lord and Lord Qin, Lu Changsheng is hereby promoted to a Yellow-tier Demon Suppression Envoy, with the treatment of an eighth-rank official, bestowed with an official robe, official seal..."

"Hasn't it only been half a year?"

Lu Changsheng's expression froze; he didn't expect it to be so fast.

"This time, more than ten lords have been promoted by exception, including two others who completed missions alone."

The middle-aged man smiled faintly.

"Many thanks to the Lord for coming to report the good news."

Lu Changsheng cupped his hands, very polite.

Fang Qing, who was on the side, saw this and hurriedly took out two silver ingots and handed them to the other party.

"Many thanks, Lord."

"Madam is too polite."

The man took the silver, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

Subsequently, after the man took his leave, he led the crowd toward the outside of the courtyard; presumably, he was going to notify other colleagues.

Looking at the figures of the crowd going far away, Lu Changsheng's expression was calm.

"It seems that the County Office and the Demon Suppression Office have already made some plans, otherwise it would be impossible for them to be promoted by exception."

You must know that after becoming an official Demon Suppression Envoy, one is an eighth-rank official registered by the imperial court, and a Yellow-tier Demon Suppression Envoy will also lead a group of probationary Demon Suppression Envoys. Lu Changsheng opened the document, and inside there was also a house deed, located in the inner city.

"Changsheng, has this promotion been successful?"

Fang Qing was full of surprise.

She didn't expect that in less than half a year, he would thoroughly cross this threshold.

She knew that many people had failed their promotions.

"Let's move to the inner city today; the environment there is better."

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly.

"Hmm... we'll go pack up right now."

Fang Qing and her brother ran toward the room with happy faces.

At noon.

Lu Changsheng hired a carriage, filled it with their supplies, and drove slowly toward the inner city.

When they arrived at the city square, the former neighbors had already received the news and all surrounded them.

After confirming that the news was true, they were all full of surprise.

"Lord Lu, congratulations, do you still remember me..."

"Lord Lu, we used to drink together..."

A group of people rushed to climb the relationship, and some even insisted on pulling kinship, but they were all ignored by Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng drove the carriage, bypassed the crowd directly, and went toward the inner city.

Seeing this, the crowd on the field was full of regret.

The inner city was much smaller than the outer city, but it was extremely clean and tidy.

There were soldiers guarding the city gate, and they only let them pass after checking Lu Changsheng's documents.

Most of the people living inside were the dignitaries of the county town, as well as some martial arts experts.

Most Yellow-tier Demon Suppression Envoys and Profound-tier Demon Suppression Envoys were also in the inner city.

It could be said that the inner city was the essence of the entire county town.

There were also many places of pleasure, which were very prosperous.

An incense stick of time later.

Lu Changsheng and his party arrived in front of the new mansion.

A pair of stone lions lay quietly at the door, which was very majestic.

On the vermilion gate, there was still oil, obviously being taken care of often.

"This is the place."

Lu Changsheng checked the deed and led the two inside directly.

The courtyard was very large, with all kinds of rockeries and gardens, and the scenery was quite pleasant.

"Is this our new home from now on?"

Fang Qing was full of joy and fell in love with this large mansion at first sight.

She didn't expect that in just half a year, they would move several times, and it would get better and better, just like a dream.

Lu Changsheng looked at the surrounding scene carefully and also felt some emotion.

At this moment, he had initially stepped into the upper class of Changping County.

After half a year of hard cultivation.

For the next few days, the three of them were tidying up their new home.

Although they had a new home, Lu Changsheng still bought a house outside the city the next day as a foothold.

He had some things that needed to be handled in the outer city, and returning at night was naturally not very convenient.

At the same time, the news of Lu Changsheng and his party's successful promotion also spread throughout the entire county town.

Countless civilians and low-level martial artists were all very envious.

With this official status, there were too many things they could do.

Lu Changsheng also officially walked into everyone's eyes.

Counterattacking from the body of a civilian to become an official Demon Suppression Envoy, he also stirred up a wind inside and outside the county town.
