The Emperor: "At their house? Did you see them? How can you be so sure?"

The one who filed the complaint was Lord Han, a student of Minister Gao.

Lord Han said with certainty, "I am certain, it's in their house!"

Qi Junzhou: "Your Majesty, my elder brother cannot suffer this injustice. If the demon cannot be found, Lord Han, what should we do?"

The Emperor asked, "If the demon cannot be found, how will Lord Han compensate them?"

Lord Han gritted his teeth and said, "If the demon cannot be found, I am willing to give up a year's salary to compensate them! I am also wholeheartedly loyal and afraid that the demon will once again harm my Dragon Kingdom and cause my people to suffer. Your Majesty."

Qi Junzhou thought to himself: They want to harm our family, and they even have to come up with such a high-sounding reason. How shameless!

The Emperor looked at Qi Junzhou and said, "Qi Junzhou, my dear minister, what do you think?"

Qi Junzhou readily agreed, "Okay, then it's a deal!"

In fact, Qi Junzhou knew perfectly well that there were no demons in their house.

On the night Xie Ju'an and his men were assassinated, Qi Junzhou was playing with his younger sister, Qiuqiu, when he overheard Qiuqiu's vivid inner monologue.

I wonder how my eldest and second brothers are doing? And what about Xie Ju'an, who's so weak he can't even kill a chicken?

[According to fate, this is the time for assassins to kill them. I wonder if their lives will be in danger.]

Qi Junzhou heard this and looked outside nervously. He wanted to run out immediately to save his older brothers and that Xie Ju'an.

But I need to come up with a legitimate reason to go out.

Before Qi Junzhou could come up with a reason, Qiuqiu's inner voice rang out again.

I'll send Flame God Sword over to take a look.

Qi Junzhou: The Flame God Sword? That sounds so familiar. Oh, I remember now. Isn't the Flame God Sword an ancient divine sword? Even the Great Silver Kingdom considers having a divine sword's scabbard incredibly impressive. By the way, where did Qiuqiu get the Flame God Sword?

[Flame God Sword, hurry and save our eldest and second brothers!]

Suddenly, a flame-like light passed by the window.

Chiu Chiu nodded in satisfaction after seeing it.

Qi Junzhou made an excuse and hurriedly left.

At this critical moment, he couldn't blindly trust the child, Qiuqiu; it would be better to go and check on him.

However, by the time Qi Junzhou arrived, the Flame God Sword had already dealt with the masked assassin.

The assassins were terrified and ran away in a panic.

At this moment, the flames covering the Flame God Sword suddenly turned black, and then slowly circled in front of the masked assassin.

The assassin was suddenly overjoyed.

Since the last monster was eliminated, the Emperor has decreed that anyone who discovers or reports a monster will be rewarded.

The assassin began running while shouting, "Monster! Demon!"

Seeing that the assassins had all fled in fear and that his two older brothers were safe, Qi Junzhou didn't show himself and left.

As Qi Junzhou walked, he muttered to himself, "What demon? How ignorant! That's a divine creature!"

To prevent the news from leaking out, Lord Han immediately informed the Emperor that they were about to search Qi Junzhou's house.

A large group of people arrived at Qiuqiu's house.

Since it was still early, Chiu Chiu hadn't gotten up yet.

There was a rapid and loud knocking at the door.

"Open the door! Open the door! I'm here on the Emperor's orders to search! Open the door! Open the door!"

When the servant came to report, Xu Ruyun had already lost her composure.

"What? The Emperor sent them? Why are they searching our house? Has something happened?"

Servant: "I don't know."

Chiu Chiu rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked outside.

I remember that in the original destiny, our family didn't suffer any more disasters here. Mother, don't worry, we haven't done anything wrong, they can't do anything to us.

Xu Ruyun felt much more at ease after hearing what Qiuqiu said.

Xu Ruyun said to the servants, "Let's go out and take a look!"

The servants followed Xu Ruyun to the gate.

Lord Han said arrogantly, "Why are you taking so long to open the door?"

Xu Ruyun said politely, "May I ask what brings you here so early, sir?"

Lord Han said irritably, "Didn't the servants just tell you? This is a search warrant! Move aside, move aside!"

Lord Han casually flashed the search warrant, then shoved Xu Ruyun aside and led a group of people toward the courtyard.

Xu Ruyun stumbled and almost fell.

Chiu Chiu stood angrily with her hands on her hips, glaring at Lord Han.

[Hmph! You rude bastard, I'll make you fall flat on your face!]

After saying that, the arrogant Lord Han tripped over a stone on the ground, fell to the ground, and landed headfirst on a pile of dog poop.

Lord Han touched the dirt on his face and asked, "What is this?"

Chirp: "That's the puppy's poop. Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter at the sight of Lord Han's disheveled appearance.

Lord Han stood up and said with a serious expression, "Laughing? What's so funny! If they actually find something, you won't even have time to cry!"

The servants on Xu Ruyun's side all stopped smiling.

Lord Han waved his hand and said, "Search thoroughly!"

Immediately, a group of people began searching every room, turning everything upside down.

Inevitably, some of this was mixed with venting anger and seeking revenge.

"Smack—"

A piece of porcelain fell to the ground.

Xu Ruyun looked at the porcelain with heartache and whispered, "That piece of porcelain is very expensive!"

The Flame God Sword quietly flew to Chiu Chiu's front and babbled a string of words that only Chiu Chiu could understand.

Chirp chirped and scolded the Flame God Sword again.

So it was you who caused this trouble, making them think you were a monster.

Qi Junlin was reading a book when a group of people suddenly burst in and ransacked his room without saying a word.

Qi Junlin: "What are you doing? Who gave you permission to do this?"

Qi Junxian heard the noise outside and was about to go out when he was suddenly knocked to the ground.

Without saying a word, those people started littering and searching his room.

Qi Junxian: "What are you doing? Don't go through my things!"

Qi Junzhou rushed over after court and, seeing his anxious family, hurriedly reassured them, "It's alright, it's alright. They'll leave once they find nothing."

Xu Ruyun: "Zhou'er, what's going on?"

Qi Junzhou: "Someone told the Emperor that our family was harboring demons, which is why they came to search us so extensively. It seems that our family has been targeted."

Standing helplessly to the side, Xie Ju'an whispered, "Did they do this because of me? I've dragged you all down. I'm sorry!"

Qi Junzhou comforted him, saying, "Alright, alright. Don't overthink it."

Qi Junxian's study was ransacked by the search party, and Qi Junxian reprimanded them.

Those people actually dragged Qi Junxian out and were about to attack him.

One man raised his whip, intending to strike Qi Junxian.

At that moment, a childish voice rang out.

"stop--"
