Quick Wear: I raised this little wolf cub

Chapter 997: Monster Hunt (35)

Yun Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Even if the demonic aura is suppressed, it can only deceive mortals and some low-level demon catchers. If you encounter a highly-skilled demon catcher, you will be seen through at a glance."

Xuan Yi twisted his Bodhi beads and said, "It's okay. I have my own explanation."

Yun Shen continued to ask, "Aren't you afraid of people criticizing your reputation, Ayi?"

“If people were to discover that the famous Wuqing Daozun was actually hanging out with demons…”

Xuan Yi interrupted Yun Shen directly and said, "I have never pursued fame. Those titles were imposed on me by others. I have never acknowledged them."

Yun Shen teased, "When we first met, A Yi looked aloof and otherworldly, and he is still like that now. He has never changed."

Xuan Yi murmured in a low voice: "It has changed."

I don’t know whether I was saying this to Yun Shen or to myself.

-

"Meet Master Xuan Yi."

Magistrate Wang bowed and saluted.

Xuan Yi returned the greeting, "No need to be polite, County Magistrate Wang."

County Magistrate Wang looked at Yun Shen who was beside Xuan Yi, "Master Xuan Yi, who is this...?"

Xuan Yi calmly introduced: "This is my Taoist servant, Yun Shen."

County Magistrate Wang had no doubts, "So it's Master Yun Dao."

Yun Shen responded with a smile.

County Magistrate Wang motioned for the two to sit down.

"Master Xuanyi, thank you for coming from afar. I should have held a banquet to welcome you, but Ning'an County has been unsettled lately. I am really worried and have no time to care about other things. I hope Master Xuanyi will understand."

Xuan Yi waved his hand, "It's okay. People who practice Taoism are pure-hearted and have few desires. There's no need to pay attention to empty etiquette."

County Magistrate Wang bowed and said, "Master Xuan Yi is so righteous."

Xuan Yi twisted his bodhi beads and asked, "What happened in Ning'an County that made County Magistrate Wang so anxious?"

County Magistrate Wang sighed, "It's not a big deal, just a little tricky."

"The thing is, there have been a lot of thefts in Ning'an County since March. The stolen items weren't valuables, just carrots."

"But most of the people who threw away the carrots were poor farmers. They could only rely on selling carrots to make some money to supplement their family income."

"Now the carrots that I worked so hard to grow have been looted, and even food has become a problem."

"Although I am willing to help, it is difficult for me to help so many people."

Xuan Yi nodded. "According to what Magistrate Wang said, it should be the rabbit demon that caused the trouble. I will catch the real culprit as soon as possible."

County Magistrate Wang said gratefully, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Xuanyi and Master Yundao."

The two men lived up to Magistrate Li's trust and were extremely efficient, catching the culprit in just one day.

The method of capture is simple.

Yun Shen and Xuan Yi got a basket of carrots and waited for the rabbit. The greedy little white rabbit was tempted by the delicious carrots and was arrested on the spot while chewing the carrots.

What happened in Ning'an County was a small matter. It was just a greedy rabbit demon that stole carrots everywhere, causing unrest in Ning'an County.

After resolving the issues in Ning'an County, Xuan Yi and Yun Shen wanted to set out again to return to Qingxin Temple. However, something happened again in Ningling County, the neighboring county of Ning'an County, so Xuan Yi and Yun Shen had to set out for Ningling County again.

I don’t know if it’s because spring has arrived and everything has revived, but the goblins are restless. As if they had made an appointment, goblins from various counties started to make trouble, but they were all small things.

But this made life difficult for Xuan Yi and Yun Shen. Every time they were about to set off back to the Taoist temple, someone would come to their door.

Often, just after finishing dealing with matters in one county, we would be invited back by another county.

Originally I was only going to deal with matters in Ningyuan County, but I ended up traveling to all the nearby counties and was busy for a whole month before I returned to Qingxin Temple.

Over the past month, Yun Shen has been by Xuan Yi's side, and Xuan Yi has never concealed it.

The two met many demon catchers along the way, and rumors about the affair between the ruthless Taoist Xuan Yi and a cat demon gradually spread.
