Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“The Yuzhou City is under martial law now. There are three to five shifts of constables at the city gate every day. They are searching for the strong. I heard that there are also people from the Black Guard.”

“What’s going on? Is the Demon Sect here again? Or are we going to war with the State of Zhao again?”

“F*ck, you don’t even know how big it is? Yesterday, Yuzhou City’s dungeon was split into two by a sword. It’s said that the sword split the dungeon into two.”

“I heard about it too. It’s said that the prefectural magistrate, Cao Anmin, died in the ruins. Who is this person? He’s so bold and powerful.”

“The Cao Gang will definitely take revenge. That’s the foster son of Cao Gang’s leader, Liu Qingshan.”

“I heard that Cao Gang has an expert coming to Yuzhou City. He might be one of the Seven Great Vajras.”

“Early in the morning, I saw many young swordsmen going to observe and comprehend that sword aura. In my opinion, this swordsman will definitely be able to enter the top ten of the martial world’s rank.”

…

In the morning, the teahouse was no longer as peaceful as it used to be. Discussions surged like a tide.

Everyone was discussing what happened last night.

The mysterious swordsman attacked and the dungeon was split open by a sword!

Cao Anmin and Liu Haoping died tragically!

These were all matters that had shaken the entire Yuzhou City. The noticeboard was already filled with notices. The Black Clothes Guards had been mobilized, and it was said that Cao Gang was also doing their best to search for this person.

Who was this person!?

Everyone was guessing.

“A new day, a new beginning.”

An Jing opened the door with a smile. Lil Blackie wagged its tail and followed behind him. Since it was only about a month old, it was very cute when it walked.

At that moment, Han Wenxin walked over with several constables.

“Brother Han, why are you so early today?” An Jing asked curiously.

“I haven’t slept for the entire night.”

Han Wenxin said with his panda eyes, “We’ve been arresting fugitives since last night, and now we want to arrest that swordsman.”

“What happened?”

An Jing pretended to be surprised and asked.

“You don’t know?”

Han Wenxin sighed and said, “Last night, a swordsman robbed the dungeon, causing the magistrate Cao Anmin to be killed. Furthermore, countless fugitives escaped.”

“So serious!”

An Jing was stunned for a moment. “This is a big matter. Who is so bold?”

Han Wenxin shook his head helplessly and said, “By the way, go to the county office in the afternoon. There are many criminals who have been seriously injured by the ruins. I need you to take a look.”

“You’ve worked hard, Brother Han.”

An Jing sighed. He was very tired last night.

“This son of a b*tch.”

Han Wenxin gritted his teeth and said, “I clearly made an appointment with Miss Chun Hui last night. Don’t let me catch him. If I catch him, I’ll skin him alive.”

An Jing was speechless. Old Han, this is your fault. How can you scold people?

Han Wenxin glanced around furtively, then revealed a mischievous smile. “Brother An, prescribe ‘calming medicine’ for me. This time, add some more medicine, it’ll be of great use again.”

“Alright, I’ll get it for you now.”

An Jing patted his chest.

Others did not know what Han Wenxin was talking about, but An Jing could understand. The calming medicine was his medicine. Was this divine medicine? It was naturally a man’s divine medicine.

An Jing entered the house to see that Zhao Qingmei and Tan Yun were placing some herbs on a basket.

“It’s a nice day,” he said. “It’s a perfect day to sun the herbs.”

Zhao Qingmei smiled and said, “By the way, I heard you talking to someone at the door. Who is it?”

An Jing said casually, “Oh, it’s Head Constable Han. You’ve seen him before.”

“It’s Han Wenxin!”

Zhao Qingmei thought of Han Wenxin and clicked her tongue. “Isn’t he bent on capturing members of the Democ Sect and becoming a copper constable? Why would he have the time to come to our pharmacy?”

“Who, who said they wanted to capture the Demon Sect’s people?” When Tan Yun heard this, his brows immediately raised.

“It’s Head Constable Han. He likes to brag. Ignore him. He’s very timid.”

An Jing shook his head and looked at Zhao Qingmei. “By the way, Madam, where did I put the Chinese medicine? I want to prescribe some medicine for Constable Han.”

“Here. I’ve put it in that cabinet.”

Zhao Qingmei took out a few jars from the cabinet.

An Jing took out some medicinal powder from the jar, then added some soybean powder and prepared to pack it up with craft paper.

Brother Han, who asked you to scold me. This time, I’ll teach you a small lesson.

“Young master, isn’t this the soybean powder?” Tan Yun walked over and asked curiously.

“Um… yeah.”

An Jing’s hand froze, but he was secretly anxious in his heart. ‘Tan Yun learns very quickly. She even knows about the soybean powder. I secretly added soybean powder into Han Wenxin’s medicine. If she finds out, will my image be ruined?’

“Young master, you’re too petty.”

Tan Yun’s expression sank. “Although I am a maidservant, I still have to speak properly. One cannot be so petty.”

“Yeah?”

An Jing was stunned for a moment.

“We have to be more magnanimous.”

Tan Yun added the soybean powder into the herb.

“This is…”

When An Jing saw this, cold sweat kept trickling down his forehead.

The effects of so much soybean powder were very strong. What if it suddenly acted up during sex?

“Young master, I’ll send it to him.”

After wrapping up the medicinal herbs, Tan Yun walked out of the door with satisfaction.

Looking at Tan Yun’s back view, An Jing could not help but swallow his saliva. He hoped that Han Wenxin did not drink Chinese medicine before he had sex.

“Head Constable Han, this is the medicine that Young Master prepared for you.” Tan Yun walked out and placed her hands on her waist as she bowed. A sweet smile appeared on her face.

“Alright, thank you Miss Tan Yun.”

Han Wenxin’s face flushed red as he looked at the gentle and beautiful Tan Yun.

Brother An, Brother An, you are really happy. Not only do you have such a beautiful wife, but you also have such a cute servant. Why are you taking all the benefits?

“Head Constable Han, remember to drink the Chinese medicine. I prepared it myself.” Tan Yun winked at Han Wenxin.

“Good… good, I will definitely drink it. Since Miss Tan Yun personally caught it for me, I will definitely drink it all.” Head Constable Han said seriously with a flushed face.

“The porridge Madam prepared for Young Master is almost ready. I will go back and serve Young Master first.”

Tan Yun smiled and returned to the medicine hall.

Looking at Tan Yun’s graceful back, Han Wenxin suddenly felt even more jealous.

…

After noon, An Jing carried the small medicine box and went to the yamen for treatment.

In the back hall, Zhao Qingmei stood in front of the stairs with her hands behind her back and a frown on her face.

Tan Yun asked in a low voice. “Missy, Jiang Sanjia has been rescued. What should we do now?”

“Who is this peerless swordsman?” asked Zhao Qingmei.

“To dare oppose our Demon Sect, this person is truly daring.” A sneer appeared on Tan Yun’s face.

“Woo… woof…”

Little Blackie shouted from the side, seemingly supporting Tan Yun.

“This person saved Jiang Sanjia and messed up my plan. However, he might not be going against our Demon Sect.”

Zhao Qingmei said calmly, “Cao Gang and the Imperial Court are searching for him now. It’s a good thing for us, but it’s a bad thing too. Yuzhou City has been under martial law recently, so we have to be careful. Don’t let the news leak out. The Demon Cult has returned to the Great Yan City, so we shouldn’t expose ourselves for the time being.”

“We have to investigate this peerless swordsman as well. I will not allow anyone or anything beyond my expectations to appear and disrupt my plans.”

“Yes.”

Tan Yun cupped his fists respectfully. “Oh right, the Ghost-Faced Buddha also told me something.”

“Speak.”

“Master is coming.”

“Oh?”

Zhao Qingmei raised her voice. It was obvious that she was slightly surprised by the arrival of her master.

“Master said that he wants to see who the man is.” Tan Yun quietly said.

“Tell him not to come,” Zhao Qingmei said expressionlessly.

“Sect Master, you know it too.”

When Tan Yun heard this, he said with a bitter face, “And Master seems to have already arrived at the Great Yan territory..”
