Chapter 91: The Demon Slaying Department Wants Him Too

On the second day, Qin Feng, who was sound asleep, was awakened by the innkeeper.

Rubbing his eyes, he looked out of the window, and the sky was still early.

Last night, he had intended to wait for Yang He to come looking for him, but unexpectedly, when he closed his eyes, it was already dawn when he opened them again.

The innkeeper respectfully said, “Physician Qin, the lord from the Demon Slaying Department is here to see you.”

After two days and nights of tireless medical treatment, Qin Feng’s name had become well-known in Qiyuan City. That’s why the innkeeper treated him with such respect.

Qin Feng stretched lazily. “Is it a thin-faced man?” Naturally, he thought of Yang He first.

However, the innkeeper shook his head. “It’s a well-built man with bandages on his arms. He didn’t reply when I talked to him, just said he was looking for Qin Feng.”

Qin Feng, upon hearing this, was surprised. The person who came was actually Zhang Tiannan?

“Understood.” Qin Feng responded and got dressed. He then walked out of the room, following the innkeeper to the first-floor lobby.

In the center of the lobby, Zhang Tiannan stood straight like a statue. When he saw Qin Feng, he only said, “Master Zhou wants to see you,” then turned and walked out of the inn’s door.

Qin Feng smirked. Understanding the other’s temperament, he didn’t say much and followed closely.

On the way to the Demon Slaying Department, Qin Feng asked, “How’s your injury?”

“No problem,” Zhang Tiannan replied concisely.

Communication was indeed difficult. Qin Feng, feeling helpless, missed Yang He even more.

“Why didn’t Brother Yang come?”

“He has matters to attend to.”

Big brother, can we finish a conversation at once? Qin Feng asked again, “What exactly is he busy with?”

Zhang Tiannan stopped in his tracks, glanced sideways, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Qin Feng’s expression became awkward. “If it’s inconvenient to disclose, then forget it.”

Then, Zhang Tiannan handed over a piece of paper.

Confused, Qin Feng opened the note and couldn’t help but twitch his face.

It was a transfer letter. In summary, it stated that there were ghosts causing trouble in a village twelve hundred miles west of Qiyuan City. Yang He, the demon slayer, was specifically sent to eliminate the ghosts.

This wasn’t unusual; in a city like Qiyuan, equivalent to an ancient state, it was common for the city to dispatch someone to handle monsters and ghosts within a thousand miles.

The strange part was the additional information. The note emphasized that Yang He should stay for at least half a month. Only after confirming the resolution of the ghost disaster could he return and report.

The signature on the transfer letter was none other than Master Zhou’s seal.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but think of Yang He’s words from last night, and the cause and effect of the matter seemed to become clear. He couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy for Yang He.

As the saying goes, words can bring calamity, and diseases enter through the mouth. Always remember, always remember.

The two arrived at the Demon Slaying Department, where Si Zheng and Cang Feilan had been waiting for some time.

The five of them ascended the high platform, but this time, they did not go to the office of Zhou Kai, the head of the Demon Slaying Department. Instead, they went to another reception hall.

In the hall, many figures were already seated. In addition to Zhou Kai, the head of the Demon Slaying Department seen earlier, there was also a group of officials gathered around a middle-aged man with slightly graying temples.

Qin Feng recognized the rank of the official robes and couldn’t help but be surprised. It turned out to be a high-ranking official of the second rank! In the Heavenly City, he could only think of one position that could achieve such a rank, and that was the governor!

When the people in the hall heard the commotion, they all cast their eyes in their direction.

Zhou Kai nodded to everyone, then smiled and said, “Please be seated.”

Be careful, don’t be deceived by his kind and benevolent appearance. Qin Feng repeatedly reminded himself in his heart and found a corner to sit up straight with caution.

After Qin Feng and his group were seated, Zhou Kai introduced the middle-aged man with graying temples, “This is Governor Li Mingxuan of Qiyuan City. He is here this time to reward you for your achievements.”

Li Mingxuan looked at Qin Feng, showing an approving expression. Qin Feng respectfully returned the gesture.

An official, at Li Mingxuan’s signal, stood up, cleared his throat, and began speaking in formal official language. It took a while before he finally began discussing achievements and rewards.

Si Zheng received many cultivation resources and a large sum of silver. He looked radiant, and Qin Feng seemed to see his extravagant appearance, spending money like water in the brothel.

Cang Feilan, escorting the Dragon Protection Monument successfully, also received many rewards. However, her expression remained calm as water. After standing up to bow, she sat down again.

Qin Feng understood that these rewards were just a drop in the bucket for Miss Cang, a wealthy lady.

For someone who could casually give away the Spatial Ring, could she even care about these rewards? The perspective is too small!

“Mr. Physician Qin” the official spoke again.

Qin Feng’s spirit lifted, and his body straightened. Finally, it was his turn.”

At this moment, Governor Li stood up, interrupting the officials: “The people of Qiyuan City have been rescued this time, and Physician Qin deserves great credit. I have discussed with Lord Zhou for a long time, but we haven’t decided on a suitable reward. So, I’ve decided to hear from you directly. What do you want? Cultivation resources or gold, silver, and foods?”

Is this really happening?

Qin Feng was surprised for a moment, then stood up and pondered.

Cultivation resources were not of much use to practitioners of the Literature Saint Daoist; it was a process of continuous accumulation with no other paths to take, so that was ruled out first.

Gold, silver, and food were somewhat attractive, but not enough. Besides, he already had other ideas in mind.

Qin Feng swept his gaze over the officials and finally looked at Li Mingxuan, saying, “Governor, I want to open a few restaurants in Qiyuan City. Can it be arranged conveniently?”

“Restaurants?” The officials looked at each other in surprise. This was something they hadn’t expected.

Lord Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Feng with a meaningful glance.

Meanwhile, Si Zheng showed an expression as if he had known this would happen.

Li Mingxuan pondered for a moment and then asked, “If I remember correctly, there are still three properties in Zhongtian Street that have not been auctioned off?”

“That is true, but those property deeds…” An official stood up, looking hesitant, wanting to speak but stopping.

“Since they haven’t been auctioned off, bring those three deeds here and give them to Physician Qin,” Li Mingxuan said softly, decisively settling the matter.

“Thank you, Governor Li.” Qin Feng was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected this matter to be resolved so quickly, and the other party had even given him three property deeds at once.

One had to admit that Governor Li acted decisively; no wonder he could become a second-ranking official!

The officials, upon hearing this, opened their mouths but didn’t say much.

After the matter of the reward was settled, Li Mingxuan looked at Qin Feng again and spoke, “Do you have any interest in working in my governor’s office?”

This statement shocked everyone, and Qin Feng was also puzzled.

As the Governor of Heavenly City, Li had the authority to appoint officials below the seventh rank. This was well-known.

However, Qin Feng had never expected Governor Li to extend an olive branch to him.

At this moment, Zhou Kai, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, “It’s a coincidence, Governor Li. My Demon Slaying Department also wants this person.”
