Li Wenyi didn't know what was wrong with him, but seeing her smile always made him want to take care of her: "Soon you'll be one of my people too. What's wrong with me, as the local official, taking care of my people? But are you going to live alone in the county?"
Ye Shuang shook her head: "Of course not. I have a guard who is currently buying a house. I owe a lot to him along the way, otherwise I could not have traveled such a long distance by myself."
Li Wenyi nodded: "That's good."
"Is something happening that I need to be careful about?" Ye Shuang asked curiously. She remembered that when she left, everything was perfectly calm.
Li Wenyi hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Someone reported a missing person this afternoon. The missing person is a local resident living alone, so even if you have your guards, you should still be careful at home."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Shuang said, "Fortunately, the house I chose is not far from the county government office. Brother Li, wouldn't it be safer if it wasn't too far from the county government office?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wenyi smiled and said, "If you want to be safe, you can stay in the county government office. However, after you settle in, I will have the patrolling brothers patrol your neighborhood more often, just in case."
Ye Shuang nodded happily: "Then thank you very much, Brother Li!"
Seeing that the tea and snacks on the table were almost gone, Li Wenyi said, "It's just a small matter. It's getting late. Where do you live? Let me take you home."
Ye Shuang shook her head and waved downstairs: "My guards have come to pick me up."
Yuwen Leng was already waiting downstairs. He was anxious because Ye Shuang had made more than halfway through her progress, while he still had no chance of getting close. When he saw her beckoning, he quickly went upstairs.
"girl."
It didn't take long for the door to the side room to be pushed open.
"Is everything done?" Ye Shuang asked with a smile as she stood up.
Without even thinking, Yuwen Leng said directly, "Everything is done. It's getting late, we should head back."
Monsters are more irritable at night, and when he arrived, Ma Rencai was still at the county office! More importantly, the monster was brazenly following him around, which made things far too risky!
Seeing that the guards were getting anxious, Li Wenyi also felt a little guilty and said, "It's my fault. I was so engrossed in chatting with the young lady that I forgot to check the time. I'm really sorry."
Yuwen glanced at him coldly, lowered his head slightly, and behaved like a guard: "I wouldn't dare, miss, shall we go back now?"
Ye Shuang nodded, turned around and said goodbye to Li Wenyi: "I had a lot of fun today, thank you very much, Brother Li, goodbye."
"Goodbye. Once you settle down here, we'll have many opportunities to meet. I'll take you to other places to play then." Li Wenyi smiled as he watched Ye Shuang leave.
Ye Shuang had just left the teahouse maintaining her noble lady demeanor when Yuwen Leng pulled her aside: "Aren't you worried about Ma Rencai? If something really happens, you'll regret it! I heard about it when I went to buy a house today. There have already been missing people in this county. It seems they were swallowed whole by that monster, and their bodies can't even be found."
Ye Shuang's lips twitched. She walked around the man who was already terrified by the monster and headed towards the inn.
"Young lady, please don't disbelieve me! That's a demon beast! A demon beast with profound cultivation!"
