"Boss, why are you sitting here? Who is outside?"
Just as Xu Shan was leaning against the door and gasping for breath, "Qing Niang" from the inner room heard the noise and came out. Looking at the embarrassed Xu Shan, she squatted down without hesitation and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Qing Niang"'s voice was soft. Looking at Xu Shan, whose face was extremely pale, her heart was filled with indifference.
The man in front of her was too incompetent. He couldn't even protect the one he loved, and he didn't even have the courage to confront the immortal master outside. Apart from his nice words, he was completely useless.
Unfortunately, Xu Shan didn't know what "Qing Niang" was thinking. He just grabbed "Qing Niang's" hand and then leaned against the door panel, borrowing some strength and standing up.
He pushed Qingniang and decisively led her into the inner room, then pressed her down on the wooden bed. "Qingniang, no matter what you find out tonight, don't come out. Just stay in this room."
"Also, remember to carry this talisman with you. Don't lose it."
"Qing Niang" was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and put the back of her hand against Xu Shan's forehead to test it.
Xu Shan didn't bother to explain too much. Seeing that "Qing Niang" didn't take it seriously, he took a deep breath and spoke again: "Qing Niang, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life."
"Once they leave, I'll go back to the mountains to hunt."
"Something has happened in the village these days. There might be monsters. You should stay indoors and don't go out if you can."
As Xu Shan spoke, he took out the talisman he had received from the village chief from his chest, rolled it up, and stuffed it into the palm of "Qing Niang", then looked towards the door again.
"Something happened?" Qing Niang looked at the panicked Xu Shan, her tone becoming more worried. She quickly placed the talisman on the side of the bed, stood up immediately, and grabbed Xu Shan who was about to leave.
"Then the head of the household should stay home. We still have some food at home, and we haven't eaten up all the rabbits and pheasants. There's no need to go out and take risks."
Xu Shan was moved, and naturally he wanted to stay.
But his intuition told him that Shen Jinggu had not left.
He came specifically to inquire about the whereabouts of the immortal master, so how could he let it go?
After figuring it out, Xu Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He really was not destined to have a good life. After his luck finally turned and he could live a stable life with Qing Niang, he met this group of immortal masters.
Why is God so blind? Or are honest people destined to be bullied?
In just a short moment, Xu Shan once again held Qing Niang's hand in his palm, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."
He once again thought of the suffering Qingniang had endured after following him for all these years, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He thought that he would definitely make some changes after this matter was over.
He patted "Qing Niang's" hand, then let go cruelly. With firm steps, he opened the door that he had closed with his own hands again.
"What happened yesterday was all done by me alone. It has nothing to do with Qingniang."
"She is definitely not the monster that the Immortal Master described. Please, Immortal Master, have mercy on her and don't hurt innocent people for your own selfish reasons."
Xu Shanqiang suppressed his fear of Shen Jinggu and stood in front of him, speaking seriously word by word, his body trembling slightly: "If the immortal master doesn't agree to me, then even if I die here today, I will never tell you the whereabouts of the immortal master."
Xu Shan had a kitchen knife in his hand at some point and was holding it against his neck.
The blade was visibly sharpened. Although it couldn't cut through iron like mud, it could certainly cut through things effortlessly.
Xu Shan's arms were shaking, obviously he couldn't control his fear.
After opening his mouth several times, Xu Shan swallowed again and said, "I know my life means nothing in your eyes, but if I die, no one else in this world will know the whereabouts of that immortal master."
"The Immortal Master should know exactly what is more important."
"All I want is to live a peaceful life with Qingniang. What happened with that monster was just an accident and coincidence."
Chen Jinggu's eyes were slightly cold as he looked at Xu Shan who was trying to threaten him. His hand tightened under his sleeves. "We are here to deal with those monsters who are causing trouble. As for your family affairs, we will not interfere."
Seeing Shen Jinggu letting go, Xu Shan also breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was too nervous, and the hand holding the knife began to tremble even more. After a while, the knife fell directly to the ground.
Xu Shan seemed to be frightened by something and took several steps back in an exaggerated manner.
"Qing Niang" in the inner room naturally heard these words. I don't know what she thought of, but a very evil smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She looked at the talisman that Xu Shan had specially given her on the bed, and picked it up without hesitation. She slowly tightened her fingers and held the intact talisman in her palm.
The seemingly weak hand suddenly burst out with a powerful force, causing the wrinkled talisman to completely disappear without a trace.
Xu Shan, who was standing outside the door at this time, knew nothing about this. He looked at Shen Jinggu, who was wearing a fairy robe and standing not far away, and glanced into the inner room, thinking:
Although it is a harmful creature, if Chen Jinggu is really eliminated, it would be better to let it realize its remaining value before it dies, and let him keep its fur in exchange for a few days of peace for him and Qingniang.
Xu Shan wanted to talk to Chen Jinggu again, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he lost his courage the moment he looked into Chen Jinggu's eyes.
Shen Jinggu did not miss Xu Shan's calculating look, his eyes dimmed, and he said coldly: "Lead the way."
