In the quiet room, Wang Chen, who had just finished his morning exercise, closed the data panel.
After entering the fifth level, the cultivation speed of Xuantian Seven Sha Wheels, which he majored in, slowed down greatly, and it was ten times more difficult to improve his strength.
Although Wang Chen still invests potential points at a ratio of 1:1 to increase skill proficiency, it is obviously impossible to cultivate the Xuantian Seven Sha Wheel to the peak of the fifth level in a short period of time.
The most important thing is that to activate the sixth evil wheel - eliminating impurities, you need to master the sixth level of Xuantian's seven evil wheels.
Then he needs to go to Yuntai Mountain Taoist Palace to get it!
Therefore, Wang Chen now can only play slowly and take it one step at a time.
However, his luck value soared by 50 points after he officially took up the post of Donglu Mansion Guard Baihu and Demon Suppressing School Lieutenant.
Wang Chen was able to confirm that this luck point was closely related to his status and popularity in this world.
I don’t know what kind of reward there will be for killing Soul-Severing Spear Huang Jue!
Thinking in his mind, Wang Chen left the quiet room and came to the outer hall.
A pretty maid immediately came up to her, curtsied and said, "Sir, breakfast is ready."
With that said, she brought hot water and towels.
Wang Chen took it and wiped his face, then sat down to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast.
The maid Xiyun was waiting on the side.
I have to say that having a maid who is proficient in housework and considerate will greatly improve the quality of life.
With Xiyun playing the role of housekeeper, Wang Chen does not need to waste his precious time and energy on general affairs, allowing him to concentrate on improving his cultivation strength.
In addition, Xiyun has an outstanding appearance and is good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was well trained by the Yao family.
Having Wang Chen by his side, even if she doesn't warm the bed, is enough to adjust the body and mind, making life not too boring.
Moreover, Xiyun’s cooking skills are very good and the meals she cooks are quite delicious.
After a few days, Wang Chen was very satisfied with her.
After finishing breakfast, Wang Chen took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to Xiyun, saying, "I'll leave these coins to you for safekeeping. All household expenses will come from them. You can buy a few more servants to come back and do some menial work.
So as not to work too hard on yourself.”
If a woman like Xiyun comes from a wealthy family, she will definitely be the daughter of a wealthy woman who is admired by thousands of people.
Wang Chen didn't want to treat her harshly.
"Slaves don't have to work hard."
Xiyun hurriedly replied: "I can do all this work by myself, don't worry!"
She spoke a little hastily, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face, and she inadvertently revealed a hint of intoxicating charm.
Wang Chen smiled: "Anyway, it's up to you."
Xiyun nodded vigorously: "Yes."
She was sold to the Yao family as a slave since she was a child. She knew the meaning of her existence very early on, which was to use it to bestow favors and win over others after being raised by the Yao family.
Therefore, Xiyun has remained a virgin and learned a lot of knowledge and skills.
Xiyun is actually grateful to the Yao family. After all, without the Yao family, she doesn't know where she would be.
Xiyun's only hope is that the Yao family can give her to a person with decent conduct.
It's good if he's not that cruel and cruel person.
After all, a maid like her is just the property of the family owner, and there will be no consequences if she is killed.
What Xiyun didn't expect was that the head of the Yao family, Yao Peng, would actually give her to Wang Chen.
Wang Chen is not only young, but also handsome and majestic. He is also a member of the Blood-Shirt Guard Baihu, and has won the trust of Yao Peng.
Moreover, Wang Chen is still alone and has no relatives.
Being able to serve such a task was something Xiyun never dared to dream about before!
So let alone the current housework, even if it was twice as hard, she would still be happy and unwilling to recruit new people.
It’s just this little thought that cannot be expressed!
At this time, there was a sudden rush of horse hooves outside the house, and then someone knocked on the door: "Sir, Mr. Wang!"
Wang Chen asked Xiyun to open the door, and then welcomed a guard in blood clothes.
"Master Wang!"
The blood-clothed guard bowed respectfully to Wang Chen, and then presented a thick secret letter with both hands: "This is what the Governor asked his subordinates to give to you!"
Wang Chen understood as soon as he saw the fire paint stamped on the letter: "Thank you for your hard work."
There's a mission!
For more than half a year, the territory of Donglu Mansion has not been peaceful. Demons and rebels have emerged one after another, constantly causing troubles and making the blood-clothed guards exhausted.
Just last month, a mountain village with a population of over a hundred households suffered a catastrophe, leaving no one in the village alive.
The real culprit has not yet been found.
Not only that, several murders involving demons also occurred in the most heavily guarded city.
A member of a noble family was killed!
These news were tightly sealed, or the case was announced to have been captured and the real culprit was captured, so as not to cause panic among the civilian population.
But in fact, the blood-clad guards in Donglu Fucheng have been preventing similar murders from happening again, or continuing to track down the real culprits. Coupled with the need to deal with the rebels, the manpower is stretched thin.
High-end combat power like Wang Chen definitely cannot be left idle.
The task Yao Peng gave Wang Chen this time was a large-scale disappearance case.
In the past three months, dozens of people have disappeared in the realm of Donglu Mansion. No one can be seen alive or dead, as if they have disappeared from the world.
These missing persons include officials, children of aristocratic families, martial arts masters and businessmen.
All in all it's very complicated.
Since some important figures were involved, the government guards dispatched elite personnel to investigate.
A lot of clues were also dug up.
Considering that the murderer was not a trivial matter, the case was handed over to Wang Chen to solve.
In fact, the clues have been there for a long time. It was precisely because he was afraid of the murderer's strength that Yao Peng did not send people to solve it rashly.
In this regard, the Xueyiwei had suffered a great loss, resulting in huge casualties.
As Yao Peng, the most powerful person in Fucheng, could not easily leave the Fuwei Yamen, so he delayed the case.
Under normal circumstances, he would need to ask for help from the county and city, but now that Wang Chen is a newly promoted fifth-level martial sect, he must not reach out to the top anymore, otherwise a reputation of incompetence will inevitably fall on Yao Peng's head.
After reading the files involved in the case contained in the secret letter, Wang Chen basically felt confident.
"Xiyun, I want to go out."
He said to Xiyun: "It may take two or three days. You should keep an eye on Jia Lili. If you have any problems, you can go to the palace guard to solve it."
Xiyun obediently said: "Yes."
After putting away the secret letter, Wang Chen went to the stable to fetch the yellow gelding, and then left the residence.
His destination is Guangping County in Donglu Prefecture.
