Outside Yichun Tower, Shen Jingyuan pulled Ning Wan into an alley and let go again.

Looking at Ning Wan's breathing difficulties and messy hair, Shen Jingyuan's hands tightened again, but seeing the defensive look in Ning Wan's eyes that had not faded, he could only give up the idea of ​​helping her with her hair.

He restrained himself and took a few steps back: "I am sorry for being rude."

Shen Jingyuan wanted to tell Ning Wan the truth after the matter was over.

By then, she shouldn't be afraid of him because of his identity.

Shen Jingyuan thought about what had just happened, and warned again: “It’s not safe outside, young lady, please be more careful.”

It’s best not to come out easily.

There was a protective shield he had set up by the river. As long as she stayed there obediently, he would be able to protect her.

Of course, Shen Jingyuan did not trap Ning Wan in that small place, so the protective shield existed to prevent people with ulterior motives from discovering her existence, allowing her to take root there with peace of mind.

Shen Jingyuan naturally did not say these words out loud.

Just give an appropriate reminder.

If I talk too much, I'm afraid the wariness in her eyes will increase.

Ning Wan leaned against the wall of the alley, glanced at the peach wood sword in Shen Jingyuan's hand, then looked at Shen Jingyuan's more serious expression, and nodded obediently.

To her as a demon, Shen Jingyuan in front of her seemed even more dangerous.

It's just that Shen Jingyuan in front of him really didn't seem to see his identity, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken to him like this.

Seeing that Ning Wan didn't refute him honestly, Shen Jingyuan didn't say anything more and turned away.

Ning Wan heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Shen Jingyuan leave.

After returning, Ning Wan unexpectedly discovered that the rabbit demon that had been following her had left.

Looking at the extra strands of rabbit hair on the open space, Ning Wan frowned slightly: Could it have been roasted?

Thinking of what happened in the bamboo forest not long ago, Ning Wan bent down and squatted.

He picked up the rabbit hair and looked at it in the direction of the light.

There was no blood, and it looked like there were no injuries.

There were no signs of outsiders at the scene, ruling out human error.

Um……

"Xiao Qi, is it okay?"

Ning Wan finally chose the simplest and most convenient way.

[Host, the system shows: The rabbit demon is not in danger of death, it ran away on its own.]

Xiao Qi looked at the records on the panel and continued to perform steadily.

After getting a positive answer, Ning Wan breathed a sigh of relief and hoped that the other party would have better luck and not encounter the demon catcher again.

The other side.

Shen Jingyuan returned to Chongming Mountain and met Yuan Shouyi again.

Yuan Shouyi looked smug, as if he had known that Shen Jingyuan would come back again.

Shen Jingyuan didn't hesitate and directly handed over the snake demon's demon pill in his hand.

Yuan Shouyi took a look and nodded with satisfaction.

He glanced at Shen Jingyuan mockingly again.

"Chen Jingyuan, I warned you long ago not to play any tricks. If you try to fool me with the demon pills of those little demons next time, you know the consequences."

With a click.

A token-like object was thrown to the ground.

Shen Jingyuan didn't say anything, but calmly picked up the token on the ground.

He did not use his spiritual power, and the person in front of him deliberately wanted to humiliate him.

Just thinking about the function of this token, Shen Jingyuan didn't care about the so-called backbone. After picking up the token, he put it into his sleeve and held it tightly.

Then he turned and left.

"Chen Jingyuan, what do you have to be proud of? You are just a dog I raise. No matter how glamorous and beautiful you are, you have to tuck your tail between your legs when you are in front of me."

"Don't forget, I don't need you. If you really can't do these things, there are plenty of people to help me."

"You know in your heart that this job is yours. You were the one who asked me to give it to you."

Looking at Shen Jingyuan's back, Yuan Shouyi sneered again and spoke loudly, each sentence like a sharp sword, hitting Shen Jingyuan's vital points.

Shen Jingyuan's back obviously stiffened for a moment, but he still didn't reply. He just stood there in silence.

The hand in the sleeve tightly grasped the token.

Not yet. The time is not right yet.

Wait a little longer.

Shen Jingyuan kept talking in his heart.

He didn't want all his efforts over the years to go to waste because of a momentary impulse.

Yuan Shouyi looked at Shen Jingyuan who dared not say much, knowing that his warning had worked. Thinking that he still had use for Shen Jingyuan, he no longer deliberately made things difficult for him.

"Choose a few junior brothers to accompany you these few days. They have also been studying for a while and it's time for them to gain some experience."

Shen Jingyuan was silent for a while: "Okay."

Seeing Shen Jingyuan cooperating obediently, Yuan Shouyi smiled even more complacently.

In the open space at the entrance of the palace, a group of young men were looking forward to it.

I guess he had heard the news in advance.

Seeing Shen Jingyuan coming out, they all surrounded him at once.

Shen Jingyuan suppressed the unpleasant expression on his face and looked at the delighted young man in front of him.

They don't realize that the things they have learned, except for some real and practical skills in catching monsters, are all fallacies.

I just feel that if there are monsters in this world, they are bad and must be eradicated.

"Big Brother, how about taking me with you?" Qi Jin spoke first. "I have already learned all the skills I need to learn. I will definitely not let those monsters escape from me."

When Qi Jin said this, there was a hint of complacency in his tone.

It was also at this moment that Shen Jingyuan believed what Yuan Shouyi said.

It is indeed I who need him, not he who needs me.

Look, how well these puppets in front of you have been taught by him.
