The lobby was crowded with people, and almost all the demon-slaying guards in the department were here.

Even the two commanders Duan Shan and Xiao Nanfeng were with him.

Zhou Dao looked through the crowd and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly standing at the top.

The chubby man was extremely handsome, with a smile on his face all the time, like a kind-hearted Buddha in the temple, with a look of harmlessness.

"First Commander?" Wang Xiaoyi looked at the rank on the man's chest and couldn't help showing surprise.

Black Feathers and Eight Feathers, in Pingjiang City, only the commander-in-chief Long Ao was awarded such an official rank.

Even Duan Shan and Xiao Nanfeng are still just Black Feathers and Seven Feathers.

The chubby man in front of me is no more than a commander, but his official rank is on the same level as Long Ao?

At this moment, not only Wang Xiaoyi, but also many people had the same doubts.

"You don't know him? This man's name is Baimenlou. He is the number one commander of Lin'an Prefecture and a master of the ninth level of True Fire. He can command all the demon-slaying guards below the commander of the major cities in Lin'an Prefecture."

Someone whispered and told the origin of this [First Commander].

"No wonder his status is so high."

Zhou Dao was stunned.

Lin'an Prefecture has a total of thirteen cities, and Pingjiang City is just one of the many cities under its jurisdiction.

After all, Baimenlou came from Lin'an Mansion. Even though he was just a commander, his strength was comparable to that of a commander, and his authority was even greater. Even Shang Tianhe had to give him three points.

"Hahaha, colleagues, you are all too polite. I just came to see you, don't be so formal." Baimenlou greeted everyone with a smile.

He loosened his collar, sweat dripped from his face, and his fat body trembled slightly with his laughter.

"Is this Xiao Li? I heard about your deeds on the way here..."

Baimenlou looked at Li Shantao next to him and cast a look of approval.

"For the sake of the safety of the people, they frequently perform caesarean operations regardless of life and death. I think this spirit of slaying demons and defending morality is worth publicizing."

Baimenlou gave high praise to Commander Li Shantao.

Li Shantao smiled awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed.

"Excellent young man, do you want to be my son?"

Suddenly, the hall fell into a dead silence, and everyone's expressions froze.

Some people even widened their eyes, thinking they heard wrongly.

"What the hell? What did he just say?" someone whispered, with a different look on his face.

"Hahaha, don't get me wrong, I also value my talents. If you want, you can consider me your godfather."

Baimenlou patted Li Shantao's shoulder, looking unappreciated.

"I heard that the first commander of Lin'an Prefecture has a hobby. He likes to be recognized as his father. It is said that he has not only 100 but also 80 sons to his name."

Next to him, a demon-slaying guard muttered softly.

"Brother Bai is really funny. When I come to Pingjiang City this time, I must give some guidance to these juniors."

Xiao Nanfeng was the best at observing people's emotions and spoke out to break the awkward situation.

"Brother Xiao, you're welcome. This time I was ordered to come here, just to go through the motions. Everyone will continue as usual and there is no need to detain you."

Baimenlou doesn't hide anything. It's a typical example of taking a salary and doing nothing, just doing errands.

Xiao Nanfeng and Duan Shan looked at each other and smiled knowingly. If so, that would be the best.

"Brother Bai is joking. We are preparing a banquet at Yujing Tower at noon. We must have two more drinks then." Xiao Nanfeng greeted.

Although Baimenlou said so, he was a person from Lin'an Prefecture after all. He had access to the senior officials of the Prefecture and could not be neglected.

"Hahaha, Brother Xiao is so considerate. If you weren't of the same generation, I would really want to accept you as my son..." Baimenlou laughed twice: "I'm straightforward, don't mind."

"Hahaha, Brother Bai is such a sweetheart..."

The two commanders laughed together and introduced the Baimen Tower into the inner courtyard of the Demon Control Division.

"What the hell? This horse is sent by Lin'an Prefecture? What the hell?"

As soon as the so-called first commander left, the hall immediately became noisy.

I have to say that Baimenlou is really a bureaucrat who talks a lot. He is neither attractive nor useful.

Even a fool can see that this person is taking advantage of his position to make money.

"It shows that not all those who can enter the government department are elites."

"Nonsense, the world is so big, where is there no garbage?"

At this moment, almost everyone had a bad impression of the first commander, and their original awe had completely dissipated.

In addition, Commander Li Shantao's eyes were even more gloomy.

"Let's break up." Zhou Dao shook his head and prepared to return to the [Sky Fire Class].

"Zhou Dao..."

At this moment, a crisp voice stopped him.

When Zhou Daoxun called out, Hibiscus walked over.

"Here we go again..." Zhou Dao's heart skipped a beat.

At the beginning, in order to light the [Elixir of Good Ling, Longevity and Longevity Incense], Zhou Dao gave Hibiscus a [Turtle Essence Pill], which is the Longevity Pill of the Immortality Sect.

In return, Mu Jinyi promised to take Zhou Dao into the Dragon Palace.

But during the Dragon King Festival, Mu Jinyi's promise fell through due to the sudden appearance of Lord Yan.

After the Dragon King Festival, Mu Jinyi felt guilty and went to Zhou Dao several times, hoping to compensate him.

Zhou Dao declined this several times.

His attitude only made Mu Jinyi feel even more guilty, and she vowed to find a treasure that would satisfy Zhou Dao as compensation.

This girl even took out her savings and went to the black market to buy a magical treasure called [Rabbit Ears].

Zhou Dao looked at it for a long time and realized that this horse was made by himself and sold to [Red Ghost Tower], and it was specially for women.

This silly girl bought it back for five times the price.

The result is self-evident, Zhou Dao has no use for that thing at all.

"You won't..."

"Master said that a person must be trustworthy. I will compensate you for what I owe you." Mu Jinyi said seriously.

She glanced at Wang Xiaoyi, pulled Zhou Dao aside, and carefully took out a wooden box from the sachet at her waist.

"What is it again? Did you go to the black market again?" Zhou Dao couldn't help but ask.

He suspected that if this girl went there a few more times, she would be deceived into losing all her money, and she might even be sold to Wanhua Tower.

"I picked this from Nilong River early in the morning." Hibiscus said in a low voice.

Zhou Dao was startled. He knew that pharmacists have the habit of collecting herbs. Some herbs can only be picked at specific times and in specific environments.

"What treasure?" Zhou Dao was curious and opened the wooden box. After just one glance, he closed it.

Inside the wooden box is a [Hydra] plant, as transparent as white jade, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Nine heads of wonderful garlic!?" Zhou Dao was surprised.

This is a rare treasure medicine that can only be produced in the depths of rivers and seas.

It is said that when this medicine is generated, the fragrance of garlic will spread thousands of miles away, which can attract nearby monsters.

Therefore, Nine-Headed Garlic is extremely rare and a rare treasure. In ancient times, Taoist masters were able to refine it into [Taoist Spirit Root], just like Ma Yinglong's [Golden Chrysanthemum].

"You gave it to me?" Zhou Dao couldn't believe it.

Such treasures were precious to him, and to a pharmacist, their value was even more inestimable.

Mu Jin lowered her head and stared at the wooden box in her hand with reluctance. Then she seemed to have made some determination and stuffed it into Zhou Dao's hand.

"We're settled."

As she spoke, Hibiscus left without looking back, as if she was afraid that if she took a step too late, she would ask Zhou Dao to come back.

Zhou Dao looked at the girl's retreating back, stunned.

"Brother Dao, you have recently become very close to Mu Jinyi from [Yakushi Academy]."

At this moment, Wang Xiaoyi came over.

"It's all for work." Zhou Dao said calmly.

"I understand, I understand!" Wang Xiaoyi winked.

When he was a child, Wang Xiaoyi's father, Wang Jujia, often went to Fengyue Place. After he came back, he said it was for work and the family business.

Wang Xiaoyi didn't understand at that time.
