Leave from Yuke Village.

It was already late at night when Niu Yuanping and Hu Dafeng returned to the guard mansion.

It happened that the third-level demon-slayer Hong Bingzhong and his apprentice Du Songsheng were on duty in the council hall at night.

Niu Yuanping was not very familiar with them.

In the past few days, I have never met or spoken to them in the governor's mansion.

They were busy during the day, either Niu Yuanping was not here, or they were out doing tasks...

As a result, everyone only hears their name but does not see their person.

There are six third-level demon-slayers in the Sucheng Shou Mansion, namely Zhu Yushun, Li Chunting, Hong Bingyi, Qi Lucui, Zhang Bucheng, and Yan Molun.

There were five second-level demon slayers including Niu Yuanping, Sun Lan, Hu Dafeng, Kan Xingming, and the Du Songsheng in front of him.

Now, he has met all five second-level demon slayers. Among the six third-level demon slayers, Zhu Yushun is his master, and Li Chunting has also dealt with them.

At this time, I finally met Hong Bingzhong again.

Hong Bingzhong and his apprentice were in the meeting hall, busy proofreading today's demon-slaying ledger.

The Demon Slayer Account Book is a booklet that records the Demon Slayer's mission of killing demons. Only the third-level Demon Slayer who is on duty in the guarding mansion can hold it every day.

If someone kills an evildoer and completes the task, he or she should put the body or aura of the evildoer into the demon collection bag and bring it back to the person on duty for inspection. After the inspection, record the killing information in a book, and then let the person on duty inspect it.

It's enough for the Yamen to close the case.

This booklet can be used for easy reference in the future, and the information in it can be used to reward the demon slayers who have completed the task based on their merits and pay them salaries.

"Master Hong, we are back."

Niu Yuanping reported to him.

Hong Bingzhong looked up and asked, "Is it going well?"

Before Niu Yuanping could speak, Hu Dafeng on the side said with a smile: "With brother Yuanping here, it will definitely go smoothly! You can catch it!"

Hong Bingzhong nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."

Then he raised his face and continued with a smile, "I've heard it a long time ago... Our Sioux City Shou Mansion has a genius demon-slayer, Niu Yuanping!"

Niu Yuanping smiled when he heard this and said modestly: "There is no genius, it's just good luck."

Hong Bingzhong looked him up and down with a smile, then turned his attention to Hu Dafeng, "Don't be too busy praising others! ... I want you to go with me to train your abilities so that you can be on your own in the future! You can't do that!"

Everything is tiring for Yuanping alone, right?"

Hu Dafeng smiled bitterly.

Since he became a demon slayer, he has never fought against demons at all...

I suddenly felt guilty.

So he said, "Junior knows that... junior... will definitely continue to work hard... and listen to Master Zhu's teachings."

Hearing the words Master Zhu, Hong Bingzhong seemed to suddenly think of something.

"I almost forgot!...Your Master Zhu took three months' leave and went back to his hometown in Maple City next door...he won't be able to come back for a while."

"Ah?...Why is it so sudden?" Hu Dafeng asked.

When Niu Yuanping heard this, he also frowned slightly.

It was indeed sudden.

"He has something urgent at home." Hong Bingzhong said, "Besides, as long as we demon slayers have been in the Demon Suppression Division for two years, we will have three months of vacation every year, and we will definitely use it within a year."

Having said that.

But it was really the first time for me to take leave and return to my hometown leaving so many apprentices behind.

After a long time, Hong Bingzhong said to Hu Dafeng and Niu Yuanping, "Don't worry, even though Lao Zhu is not here, it is impossible for you to neglect your cultivation matters! Follow me for now, and I will find time to teach you something in two days!"

When Hu Dafeng heard this, he quickly flattered us and said, "If you were to teach us, we would be so lucky!"

Hong Bingzhong looked at him, smiled, and said, "Okay, no need to be so talkative! Go and have a rest."

Then he told Niu Yuanping, "Brother Yuanping, please stay for a while."

"yes."

Hu Dafeng glanced at Niu Yuanping and then retreated.

Later, Hong Bingzhong said to Du Songsheng beside him, who was busy proofreading the demon-slaying account book, "You should also go and rest, and I will proofread the rest."

Du Songsheng nodded, put the account book on the table, and said, "Then I'll thank you, Master."

It was obvious that this was a deliberate attempt to separate him and Hu Dafeng.

Can he not see it?

Du Songsheng stood up and walked towards the outside of the meeting hall.

When passing by Niu Yuanping, I glanced at him lightly and continued walking past.

From beginning to end, not a word was said.

When Niu Yuanping saw this, his heart pounded.

What is this for?

Then, he thought to himself, "The reason why I was left alone was to test the aura of the resentful spirits I killed in my demon-collecting bag..."

but.

There's no need to be so mysterious, right?

And he sent everyone else away...

at this time.

After Du Songsheng left, Hong Bingzhong began to greet Niu Yuanping: "Take out the monster bag and give it to me."

really……

It’s really all about this...

Niu Yuanping exhaled a breath, took off the demon bag hanging from his waist, walked over and handed it to Hong Bingzhong.

Hong Bingzhong took it and said, "Please sit down for a while."

"good."

Niu Yuanping had no choice but to sit down.

In fact, he wanted to finish it quickly so that he could go back to his house to sleep and rest.

I originally thought that it wouldn't be that troublesome. I just handed over the resentful spirit breath in the demon-collecting bag, and then everyone went back to their homes to find their own mothers. Wouldn't that be the end of it?

Unexpectedly, at this time, Hong Bingzhong actually invited him to sit down in a serious manner.

Although this person was supposed to take over from Zhu Yushun and teach the newcomers, they were not familiar with each other yet, so what topics could they talk about?

sit on the chair.

Niu Yuanping calmly watched Hong Bingzhong doing what he was doing.

I saw him opening the mouth of the demon bag, then putting two fingers into it, seeming to push a burst of soul energy into it, and then turned it around.

After he sensed the aura belonging to the resentful spirit Zhao Wenhuan, he withdrew his finger again.

Hong Bingzhong asked, "Are you sure that the resentful spirit has been killed?"

When Niu Yuanping heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

He murmured secretly, "Has it been noticed that I let Zhao Wenhuan go?..."

I can't help but feel that some of them have a guilty conscience.

But he still nodded.

"I am sure."

"okay."

Hong Bingzhong nodded, and then started to draw on the Demon Slayer account book with a pen.

I watched him sketch carefully for a long time and never asked anything else.

Only then did Niu Yuanping feel relieved.

It turns out that it was just a simple inquiry...

After a while, Hong Bingzhong finally finished recording.

He put down his pen and raised his face to look at Niu Yuanping.

"Although you have killed the resentful spirit, you still have to observe it for several months in the future. If no one from Yuke Village comes to report any abnormalities, the case will be considered completely closed. However, the demon-slaying salary and rewards will not be in arrears for too long. They will be released in the near future.

It will be distributed to you and Hu Dafeng during the period."

When Niu Yuanping heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Junior understands."

Hong Bingzhong nodded.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly stared at Niu Yuanping and said in a deep voice, "I have some other things I want to ask you!"

Hearing this, Niu Yuanping was startled.

Sure enough, I have something else to say!

This made him a little nervous and a little curious.

"Senior has something to say...but it doesn't matter. I will tell you everything I know."
