Although Ji Xing can use 200% disguise to change his face, he still doesn't know what abilities a high-level demon hunter has, so it's best to keep Ji Xing's human identity.
He needs to 'move' reasonably.
With trains running every 10 days, it is the best choice to move to Jumu City or Yuejiang City, the two largest nearby cities.
There happens to be a car tomorrow, so I chose to end the invasion of Ke Xue's world today, not yesterday or tomorrow, and that's exactly why.
Buying tickets will be done tomorrow morning. There are not many people traveling in Yangliu Town. Ji Xing first fills his stomach and then simply packs his luggage.
You don’t need to bring much, just enough money.
The chess stall had been open for three months, but he was still cheating... and he made a lot of money, enough to rent a house in a new place and settle down.
All that's left is to say goodbye to chess friends like Lao Wang and Lao Liu, as well as Yi Nan.
Go naturally.
Speaking of Yi Nan, Ji Xing looked at the sky and felt that it was almost time for the child to arrive.
The last time I saw the child was ten days ago. Because Yi Nan followed the protector on the last train, he could only return to the town this afternoon.
In the two months since he learned chess from Ji Xing, this was already the second time. After the last train escort mission, he couldn't wait to play chess with Ji Xing the night he returned.
So Ji Xing cleared the table, set up the chessboard on the table, and sat in front of the chessboard to figure out the next way to collect starlight and make money.
It took more than half an hour.
Yi Nan still hasn't come.
Ji Xing glanced at the completely dark sky and frowned slightly: "Speaking of which...if I wait like this, it seems like I have set a dangerous flag for that child?"
Nothing will happen, right?
After waiting for a few more minutes, Ji Xing was ready to take the initiative to look for it. The smell in the demon's nose made his brows relax, and then tighten again.
Yi Nan finally arrived.
But he was not alone. There was an aura beside him that was slightly unfamiliar to Ji Xing.
He waited for a knock on the door before going over to open it.
The person standing outside the door was Yi Nan.
This 16-year-old handsome young man looked at Ji Xing with a timid and hesitant expression. His eyes were red and he seemed to have cried. There was a band-aid stuck to the corner of his right eye - speaking of it, Ji Xing was still the first.
I learned for the first time that there are band-aids in this world.
Of course, this is not the point.
He was stunned for a moment and looked at the middle-aged woman staring at him from behind Yi Nan.
The woman is about 40 years old, has a sharp expression, and at first glance she looks like a master of extermination.
"Are you Ji Xing?" she asked.
"I am, eldest sister, you are..." Ji Xing rationally did not call the other party aunt.
But this didn't work. The woman said coldly: "I am Huo Xia, Yi Nan's mother."
Ji Xing guessed that was it.
He remembered what Yi Nan had said about his mother being very strict with him, and then thought about the fact that Yi Nan came to him secretly to learn chess, and he roughly guessed the situation.
"Oh, eldest sister, please come in and sit down..."
"Yi Nan encountered a demon when he went out this time. During the battle, he scratched his eyebrow bone. He was only a little bit close to losing an eye." Huo Xia said.
"Uh..." Ji Xing hesitated.
"Mom..." Yi Nan had tears in her eyes.
"Do you know what kind of profession a demon hunter is?! They risk their lives to protect us ordinary people!"
Huo Xia's voice suddenly became louder, and she glared at Ji Xing and said, "You are harming him! Do you know! If you practice for an hour more every day, he will have more hope of survival when he encounters danger!"
"play chess?!"
Ji Xing was silent.
Huo Xia rushed into his home with great momentum, caught the chessboard on the table, walked over quickly, and flipped it with all her strength!
Wow——
The chess pieces are flying and all over the room!
"I'll let you play chess!"
Huo Xia pointed at Ji Xing and said: "Our Yi Nan is going to become a divine hunter! If you let me know that you lead him astray again, I will fight you!"
"Mom!" Yi Nan burst into tears and held his mother's arm: "Don't be like this! It's because I'm playful and I begged Brother Ji Xing to teach me chess!"
Huo Xia tried her best to shake him off, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll deal with you when I get home! You disobedient child, you even dared to lie to your mother!"
She dragged Yi Nan away.
Yi Nan turned around as he walked, with a guilty expression on his face, not knowing how to apologize to Ji Xing.
Ji Xing sighed, raised his head, signaled the child not to worry, and turned around to pick up the chess pieces.
What the hell is this called?
No wonder the child is so introverted. With such a fierce and strict mother, how can he not be introverted?
The truth is that the harder you work in peacetime, the stronger your ability to protect yourself when encountering danger. But cultivation should be relaxed, right? You can't relax for an hour?
Besides...what does it have to do with me?
I really hope that my son will become a dragon, a divine hunter?
According to the information he has received from Yi Nan these days, the levels of demon hunters are from trainee hunters, to lower-level, intermediate-level, and upper-level hunters, and then to numbered hunters. Yi Nan has an eight-digit number, which is only based on his becoming an official hunter.
The number randomly assigned at the time is not the same thing as the number of the hunter.
The hunter's number can have up to five digits.
From 10000 to 99999, this belongs to a grade, commonly known as the reserve number hunter.
The numbers in the thousands are even more detailed, from 7000 to 9999, from 4000 to 6999, and from 1000 to 3999, which are called lower thousand hunters, middle thousand hunters, and upper thousand numbered hunters respectively!
After that, there will naturally be hunters in the lower hundred, middle hundred, and upper hundred, and higher-level hunters are generally stronger than lower-level hunters.
At least the performance on the surface is stronger.
Only hunters numbered 1 to 99, the 99 strongest among the hunters, can have a unique title - 'Sacred Hunter'!
One hunter in a million.
As the name suggests, he is like a god, and is said to have the power to fly into the sky, escape from the earth, move mountains and fill seas!
Can that child become a divine hunter?
"……never mind."
Ji Xing shook his head and put the chess away. Suddenly he felt someone coming to the door again and turned around to look.
It's a woman of similar age to him.
She is very beautiful and has a good figure. She wears the same hunter uniform as Yi Nan and carries a hunter's knife on her waist. The only weird thing is her hair.
Her long black hair was tied into six braids, two in the front and four in the back.
The six braided hairbands are still in six colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and white.
It's flashy and looks like a non-mainstream.
Ji Xing heard Yi Nan mention her.
She is one of the three intermediate hunters in Yangliu Town and the leader of the hunter team, Zhao Lan. It is said that this unique hairstyle is to be the first in the crowd to attract the attention of demons and protect others.
"I knew something was going to happen. I'm sorry, Sister Huo Xia wasn't like this before." She said to Ji Xing apologetically: "Don't take it to heart. As a hunter, it's normal to get injured when fighting monsters.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t learn chess.”
"It's okay, I don't care. Are you Captain Zhao Lan? Can you come in and sit down?" Ji Xing greeted.
"Ji Xing, who revealed the demon in the chess game, has heard your name a long time ago." She nodded and sat down on the chair at Ji Xing's greeting.
Ji Xing guessed that when she activated the first 50 points of starlight, most of the 50 points of starlight she got at once came from her. He smiled and said: "Haha, I made you laugh. In order to increase the popularity and income of the chess stall, I will give you a few points."
There was no shortage of publicity in the town."
Zhao Lan smiled, smoothed out the braids on her chest, and then noticed the luggage placed on the wall, wondering: "Are you... preparing to go on a long trip?"
"Yes, I have made some money recently. I am planning to take the train to another city tomorrow. I originally planned to say goodbye to Yi Nan..."
"That's it..." Zhao Lan murmured and smiled helplessly: "That kid Yi Nan should be disappointed. He is controlled by Sister Huo Xia... He has almost no friends. During this period of time, he is learning chess from you, and the smile on his face is better than before.
Much more, he seems to regard you as an elder brother or even a father."
Ji Xing asked strangely: "Then you...as his captain, you don't want to take care of his family affairs?"
"I can't control it." Zhao Lan shook her head: "Yi Nan's father was once my hunter teacher, and Sister Huo Xia watched me grow up. I used to take Yi Nan to play cards, and I was pointed at the nose by Sister Huo Xia.
After scolding me, there was nothing I could do, ugh."
She said to Ji Xing: "So Sister Huo Xia was really not targeting you just now, she was just... a little stimulated. Since seven years ago, in order to protect the passengers on the train and their mother and son, Teacher Yizhen and the team of five hunters
After working together to fight a high-ranking demon and dying together with the opponent, Sister Huo Xia became what she is now.
Yi Nan is her only relative. She wants Yi Nan to inherit the responsibility of Teacher Yizhen, but she also doesn’t want Yi Nan to be in danger..."
"I see, I really haven't heard Yi Nan mention these things." Ji Xing said clearly.
…
On the other side, Yi Nan was dragged back home by his mother, who held his ears and taught him a lesson: "Yi Nan, did you hear that?! You are not allowed to play chess like that again."
People who cheat money are coming and going!"
"I'm asking you! Did you hear that?!"
Yi Nan lowered his head and said nothing.
"Yi Nan! Mom is talking to you!"
"Brother Ji Xing...is not a bad person." Yi Nan murmured softly.
"What did you say?! Say it again!"
"I said... Brother Ji Xing is not a bad person!" Yi Nan suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted.
Huo Xia was stunned, her face turned red after two seconds, and she said angrily: "Okay, okay, Yi Nan, you don't even listen to mom, how dare you yell at mom?!
If this continues, what kind of divine hunter will you become? You will die in the hands of the demon!"
"I don't want to become a divine hunter!" Yi Nan said with red eyes: "You keep saying, keep saying! You keep making me become a divine hunter!"
He finally plucked up the courage and said almost in a roar: "You know what! I have no friends! Except for the captain who always takes care of me, I can't go when other hunters are playing cards, and I can't go when they are having drinks and dinners. I don't even have any friends."
One minute to control yourself!"
"It's not easy... it's not easy..."
"You..." Seeing this situation, Huo Xia's tone slowly softened, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Mom, mom is doing this for your own good. You have free control of your time... Let you control your own time, so go ahead
Learning something useless like chess..."
Yi Nan cried bitterly: "Mom! Have you really forgotten?! Seven years ago, Dad, Dad said that as long as I completed the hunter qualification test, he would take me to the amusement park in Giant Wood City and teach me chess!"
"Did you forget?!"
Huo Xia's body stiffened suddenly and trembled slightly.
Yi Nan, who finally spoke out his heart, seemed to have been reborn, with tears on his face, and whispered: "Mom, I know you are doing it for my own good. You are worried that I will be like my father... But I, but I..."
"But I'm really tired...I..."
"Run, Yi Nan." Huo Xia suddenly interrupted Yi Nan with a hoarse voice.
"……mom?"
"Run... run... Yi Nan..."
Yi Nan looked at Huo Xia's face blankly.
His veins popped out and his eyes turned green.
This look was very familiar to him.
"Impossible...this is impossible..."
"Run quickly... Yi Nan..."
At the same time, Ji Xing's house.
Zhao Lan suddenly changed her expression, turned her head to look in the direction of Yi Nan's house, and rushed out.
She didn't notice that Ji Xing looked there a minute earlier than she did, and looked for longer.
