Chapter 103: Targeted by the Embroidered Uniform Guard

~9 min read 1,674 words

"Changxi, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has entered the square."

Hua Changxi spent the night organizing the books in the Buddhist beads. There were many demon race supernatural powers and techniques inside, not only "Great Strength Cow Demon Art," "Heavenly Dog Swallows Moon," "Divine Chicken Announces Dawn," "Dragon Soars the Four Seas," and other supernatural power techniques, but also "Earth Origin Art," "Gold Origin Art," "Supreme Good Art," and other cultivation techniques.

The monk in white had collected quite a lot of techniques. Before she could finish organizing them, Pucao knocked on her door.

Hua Changxi opened the door and looked at the sky. It was just dawn, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard had already come, showing how much the imperial court cared about what happened last night.

Also, cultivators fighting to the death outside was one thing, but running to a crowded place to fight was a bit disruptive to order.

"Where has the Embroidered Uniform Guard reached?"

"They are currently investigating the few houses that collapsed, and they should be here to ask questions soon."

Hua Changxi knew that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had spirit-detecting devices. She thought about taking away the defensive array, hidden spirit array, and spirit gathering array in the pharmacy, but after thinking about it, she felt it was unnecessary.

It was normal for cultivators to have these means.

Thinking this way, Hua Changxi went to the pharmacy in the front. Just after changing the medicine for the few wounded from last night, several Embroidered Uniform Guards walked in with big strides.

"Yo, an acquaintance."

As soon as Pang Shaoyu entered the pharmacy, he saw Hua Changxi. He had a fresh memory of this little lady who dared to fight with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and he didn't expect to run into her again today.

"Why are you here?"

Hua Changxi also recognized Pang Shaoyu. Sensing the spirit energy fluctuations on him, her eyes flickered. The Embroidered Uniform Guard really had great means. Last time they met, he was still a mortal, and now he had become a cultivator.

"Officer, this is the pharmacy I opened."

Pang Shaoyu began to wander around the pharmacy, lifted the back door curtain to look at the backyard, and smiled at Hua Changxi: "I thought you were working in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and your family was very difficult. I didn't expect your family to be quite wealthy, even setting up such an industry for a little lady like you."

Hua Changxi smiled faintly and didn't explain.

Pang Shaoyu signaled the people behind him to go into the backyard to check, while he smiled and took a few bottles of pills from the medicine cabinet, opened the bottle stoppers one by one, smelled them, and asked in surprise: "Are these pills refined by you?"

Hua Changxi nodded.

Pang Shaoyu scrutinized Hua Changxi again: "I didn't expect your alchemy technology to be so powerful. The quality of these pills is very good."

Better than what he received from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Hua Changxi smiled modestly: "Just a craft to make a living."

Pang Shaoyu walked in front of her and looked at her strangely: "Last time in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, you said the same thing. I just can't figure it out. You are a little lady, and you will get married in the future. Where do you need to come out to make a living?"

Hua Changxi smiled at him: "Officer... not every little lady needs protection. I just want to support myself."

Pang Shaoyu looked disapproving: "You are looking for bitterness when there is no bitterness."

Hua Changxi suppressed the impatience in her heart and continued to smile: "I am willing to eat such bitterness."

Pang Shaoyu shook his head: "Looking at your clever face, I didn't expect you to be a fool."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi's hands itched. She took a deep breath before suppressing her violent temper and quickly changed the subject: "Is the officer here for what happened last night?"

Speaking of business, Pang Shaoyu immediately became serious. He first went to ask the few wounded in the pharmacy before walking back to Hua Changxi's side.

"What do you think about what happened last night?"

Hua Changxi said righteously: "The officials must catch the person and punish them according to the law. If cultivators run into the city to fight, they are happy, but the common people suffer."

"Officer, I know the Embroidered Uniform Guard has great authority. You must suggest to the superiors that the imperial court announce a decree strictly prohibiting cultivators from fighting in the city."

Pang Shaoyu looked at the righteous Hua Changxi and asked with a smile: "Aren't you a cultivator? If the imperial court really restricts the behavior of cultivators, you will also be affected."

Hua Changxi: "I hate killing innocent people. If I want to kill, I will kill the culprit."

Pang Shaoyu was speechless: "You are quite straightforward."

Hua Changxi raised her chin: "I am just so open and aboveboard."

Pang Shaoyu smiled: "Your skin... is really not thin." As he spoke, his smile faded, and his eyes stared tightly at her, "Hua Changxi, what happened last night has nothing to do with you, right?"

Hua Changxi looked straight at him: "Of course."

At this time, several Embroidered Uniform Guards who checked the backyard came out.

Seeing this, Pang Shaoyu walked over, and one of them immediately whispered to him.

'There is a green cow in the backyard, it is a demon beast.'

Hua Changxi 'heard' it, her expression moved. The Embroidered Uniform Guard really couldn't be underestimated. They discovered the green cow demon as soon as they met.

After hearing his subordinate's report, Pang Shaoyu didn't say anything and looked at Hua Changxi: "Let's go, go to the next house."

When stepping out of the pharmacy door, Pang Shaoyu looked back at Hua Changxi: "Treating the wounded for free, you are really a good person."

Hua Changxi didn't change her expression: "Just doing my small part."

Pang Shaoyu: "I hope you can always be so good."

Hua Changxi smiled: "I am who I am, not living in the officer's hope."

Pang Shaoyu exhaled: "Has anyone in your family said that your mouth is very unpleasant?"

Hua Changxi looked surprised: "Why do I need to be pleasing?" She looked at Pang Shaoyu with an uncomprehending look, as if he had said something unbelievable.

Seeing her like this, Pang Shaoyu had nothing to say and quickly took his people away.

Once they left, Hua Changxi's expression faded, and she called Pucao to her side: "They discovered the green cow, and the pharmacy will definitely become a key investigation target for the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Pucao was anxious when she heard this: "What should we do? Should we let the green cow go back to the mountains to hide?"

Hua Changxi shook her head: "The Embroidered Uniform Guard has already discovered the green cow. Letting the green cow leave now is a bit like 'there are no three hundred taels of silver buried here'."

"I am a cultivator, and it's not strange to raise a demon beast. It's just that when the Embroidered Uniform Guard comes to the pharmacy again, you and Aniu must deal with it well."

Pucao nodded: "Don't worry, we will."

Hua Changxi still had to go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to work. Knowing that Pucao had fire and wood spirit roots, she gave her the "Drilling Wood to Make Fire" cultivation technique from the Buddhist beads.

Pucao excitedly took the technique: "Changxi, I will cultivate well and strive to help you as soon as possible."

Hua Changxi laughed: "You are already helping me now. I'm going to the Medical Department. I will come over these few days. If the Embroidered Uniform Guard causes trouble, endure it first, and wait for me to come back to solve it."

"Hundred-household commander, Hua Changxi has gone to the Medical Department to work."

Hearing his subordinate's report, Pang Shaoyu stroked his chin: "As expected of someone who can shock my uncle, this temperament is strong enough."

The subordinate Embroidered Uniform Guard asked: "Hundred-household commander, I think what happened last night was nine times out of ten caused by Hua Changxi."

Pang Shaoyu glanced at him: "Don't rush to conclusions. Now that there are more and more cultivators, there are quite a few cultivators hiding in the dark causing trouble."

The subordinate added: "Hua Changxi raised a demon beast, this is a fact nailed to the board. Just this one point is enough to catch her and put her in the imperial prison."

Pang Shaoyu was speechless: "Can you stop thinking about catching people? Do you know what cultivation level Hua Changxi is? Are you sure we can beat her?"

"If she really was the person causing trouble yesterday, believe it or not, she could kill all of us silently."

"Use your brain, okay? Otherwise, having a subordinate like you will make me very tired."

Although Pang Shaoyu scolded his subordinate, he went to find Yin Jianxiong to report Hua Changxi's matter as soon as he turned around.

After listening, Yin Jianxiong told him not to act rashly.

Pang Shaoyu: "Hua Changxi raised a demon beast. Even if she has a Hua Shiniang behind her, it is reasonable for us to catch her."

Yin Jianxiong gave Pang Shaoyu a piece of information he had just obtained.

After reading it, Pang Shaoyu widened his eyes: "Hua Changxi is capable, even climbing up to the people of the Eastern Depot."

Yin Jianxiong looked at him: "Guo Xuan is a person who doesn't get up early without profit. He actually took the initiative to be on good terms with Hua Changxi, which shows that he can get great benefits from Hua Changxi."

Pang Shaoyu: "Then ignore Hua Changxi?"

Yin Jianxiong: "Hide the matter of Hua Changxi raising a demon beast for now. It's very chaotic everywhere, and we can't act rashly. As for Hua Changxi, send someone to watch her secretly." ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
