the alley was filled with the scent of danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been through the streets and the world, and even though he gained some weight in Ding County, his instincts made him subconsciously vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constables drew their long knives, disorderly, like a buzzing swarm of hornets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from the alley, a black-haired young man with a sharp knife at his waist slowly walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qin An?\" Mr. Zheng shouted sternly, \"Stand against the wall, don’t move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still remembered Qin An’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When numerous butchers couldn’t handle the boar demon’s corpse, only Qin An could butcher the demon, which made a deep impression on Mr. Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An’s expression was calm as he rested his hand on the sharp knife at his waist and said, \"You all saw it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these words, the scene fell silent, and even a pin drop could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng swallowed hard, \"Did you kill the boar demon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still a bit incredulous, but Qin An’s calm expression made him have to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An nodded, \"It came to trouble me, so I slaughtered it on a whim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just returned from the blacksmith’s shop and encountered Mr. Zheng’s group when he reached the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Mr. Zheng’s question, Qin An chose to admit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things had already developed to this point, and denial was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Qin An had his own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current situation was very dangerous, with threats not only from demons but also from the yamen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Chun said, the yamen colluded with demons and wouldn’t allow instability in Ding County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an unstable element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exposure of today’s incident was within his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, there are no walls without chinks;

as long as he had strength to rely on, so what if it was Mr. Wang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was not a long-term solution; after all, Mr. Wang wouldn’t let him continue being unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But buying time was the best option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he stalled long enough, Qin An, with the boost from his Golden Finger, would already stand above Ding County, making Mr. Wang even less daring to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps only a few days were needed until he mastered the blacksmith’s profession talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng raised his long knife, \"Even if so, the truth is unknown. Cooperate with us and come to the yamen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something suspicious here, and he dared not make decisions on his own, wanting Mr. Wang to make the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An glanced at Mr. Zheng, \"Haven’t you grasped the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng stood there, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright flash of the knife swept past, with a soul-stirring whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng watched as the sharp knife swept past his eyes, unable to even react, cold sweat covering his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that knife had slashed across his neck, he would have been decapitated immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too powerful, Qin An was just a butcher; why was he so strong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you resisting arrest?\" Mr. Zheng retreated several steps, his voice trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An shook his head, \"What’s wrong with killing a demon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple answer, and Mr. Zheng’s face turned dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qin An said, killing demons wasn’t a crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dare he say it was wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Daqian Kingdom, even wiping out a demon nest was fine; perhaps the Evil Extermination Bureau would even commend such a deed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng took a deep breath, \"Let’s return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t continue speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Qin An’s words were flawless, and second, he dreaded Qin An’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was old, lacking the ambition he once had, only wanting to play the role of a bully in Ding County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much money was it per month to risk his life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let Mr. Wang decide back at the yamen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the constables showed strange expressions, their eyes filled with fear when they looked at Qin An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even the boss conceded, how could they not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An glanced at a constable, \"After I butchered the boar demon, you told me to scram?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his face covered in sweat, the constable kept flattering, \"Couldn’t recognize the greatness right in front...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An said flatly, \"Scram.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constable dared not say a word, quickly following Mr. Zheng out of the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching Mr. Zheng and his group leave, Qin An returned to the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oil lamp flickered, casting fluctuations over Qin An’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raise the blacksmith profession to level three quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An had a plan in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, his mentality had shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength was the foundation of standing in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t have strength, he couldn’t have avoided being taken away tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with strength, even the haughty Mr. Zheng could only leave in defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An planned to quickly advance to level three as a blacksmith, while also considering the paths of Heart Method and Cultivation Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a simple wash, Qin An hung up a bell and gripped his sharp knife before going to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng returned to the yamen with his constables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, he wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead, \"He didn’t follow, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constable’s mouth twitched, \"Boss, he didn’t follow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, the boss asked over ten times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked to Mr. Wang’s room, knocking on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Wang breathed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zheng pushed the door open and was momentarily stunned by the scene inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>",1297,"2026-06-03T03:46:00.935Z","2026-06-03T03:46:06.308Z",1,"novelbin.me","35457eb0462f21326d2ca6b3cf63907a71dce467aafd9d19cbd78a3ebaa0ba82","rise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-chapter-14","rise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-chapter-12",632,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-cover.jpg"]
