Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of Xiao Changsheng’s birthday.

In the Demon Slaying Hall, Gu Yan took a look at the sky and saw that it was almost noon.

So he said to the cold white tiger in front of him

"Bai Hu, today you will go with me to the Xiao family for a banquet. Lin Wu will be responsible for all affairs within the department."

White Tiger cupped his fists and saluted

"Yes, my lord"

Gu Yan took Bai Hu, Su Zhaoyue, and Dugu Ling to leave the Demon Slayer Division and headed to Xiao's house.

When a group of people arrived at the Xiao family, the Xiao family was already bustling with activity, and the door was filled with people from all walks of life who came to celebrate their birthdays.

The Xiao family is the top power in Kyushu, and it is not rare for people to bring gifts to celebrate their birthdays. Therefore, the servants who greet guests at the door do not report the gifts given by the guests one by one, but just announce the names of the guests loudly.

Just as Gu Yan was about to go in, a voice suddenly came from behind him

"Master Gu?"

Gu Yan looked back and saw a middle-aged man full of superior aura, looking at him with a smile.

When Gu Yan came to Jiangnan County for the first time, he didn't know who the middle-aged man in front of him was. At this time, Bai Hu on the side said through a message

"Sir, this person is the governor of Jiangnan County, Xia Kong."

After knowing the identity of the visitor, a smile appeared on Gu Yan's face, he cupped his fists at the middle-aged man and said

"Mr. Xia, I'm new here. I'm getting acquainted with my colleagues in the department. I haven't had time to pay a visit to Mr. Xia yet. I'm sorry."

Xia Kong waved his hand casually and came to Gu Yan's side.

"What did Mr. Gu say? The Demon Slayer Division is the wall of the empire. Besides, you and I are both members of the imperial court. Why should we be so aloof? If you need it, just ask."

As soon as they met this person, he put on an attitude of saying, "If you have something to do, please speak up." Two words immediately appeared in Gu Yan's mind.

"hypocritical"

People like Xia Kong belong to the kind of people who 'were brothers and talked about it, but couldn't get through the phone if something happened'

Gu Yan didn't like this kind of person and didn't want to talk to him, so he immediately said

"Master Xia also came to the Xiao family for his birthday?"

Xia Kong touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile

"The Xiao family has made a great contribution to the stability of Jiangnan County. I am also very proud in the court. I come to congratulate you now."

Gu Yan nodded, stretched out his hand and said

"In that case, let's go in first."

Xia Kong nodded and walked to Xiao's house with Gu Yan.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Xia Kong nodded slightly, and the guard on the side handed over the gift box.

Gu Yan's consciousness felt the strong vitality emanating from the gift box, he frowned slightly, and then asked pretending to be surprised.

"Master Xia, what is this? Does it contain such terrifying vitality?"

After hearing Gu Yan's question, Xia Kong raised his head and laughed three times, his face filled with pride.

"Lord Gu, you don't know. This thing was found in an ancient dense forest in the southernmost part of Anzhou, at the junction with the Night Kingdom. It's called Qingluo Fruit. Regardless of your level of realm, taking it can increase your life span by ten years. For this fruit, I spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and searched for several months to find it."

Gu Yan stretched out his hand and clapped gently, saying with a strange air

"Master Xia really worked hard to keep the Xiao family stable in Jiangnan County."

Xia Kong, who was feeling proud, did not hear the meaning of Gu Yan's words. Instead, he said with a smile.

"With the Xiao family here, no one would dare to offend. Besides, I have also benefited a lot from this. Master Gu can also follow suit and it will be much easier in the future."

Gu Yan sneered and looked at Xia Kong with a hint of chill.

"Master Xia, don't forget that you are an official of the imperial court, not the Xiao family."

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he walked directly into the mansion. Bai Hu beside him took out a bottle of elixir and threw it to the servant at the door as a birthday gift.

The servant quickly caught it and then shouted towards the house

"Commander of the Demon Slayer Department, Lord Gu Yangu is here!"

Xia Kong, who stayed where he was, had a look of uncertainty on his face. He originally planned to win over the new leader for the Xiao family, but unexpectedly he was ridiculed. He thought to himself.

"Gu Yan, you are really ignorant. Let's see how long you can be complacent."

Then he tossed his sleeves and robe and walked into the house.

Seeing this, the servant on the side quickly continued to shout

"The governor of the county, Mr. Xia Kongxia, is here!"

At this time, Xiao Ling, who was entertaining guests in the house, froze when he heard Gu Yan's name, and then his eyes filled with anger.

"Gu Yan, how dare you come!"

Then he strode towards the door

Gu Yan looked at Xiao Ling who was walking toward him angrily and said with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao? Are your teeth growing?"

As soon as Gu Yan said this, the surrounding guests looked at Xiao Ling with strange eyes. They all knew that Xiao Ling had all his teeth knocked out by Gu Yan when he participated in the ranking competition.

After Xiao Ling returned to Jiangnan County, there was a lot of commotion in the county. Finally, Dongguang arrested Xiao Ling and took her to the Demon Slayer Division. She was thrown into a prison and imprisoned for seven days before she calmed down.

Although Xiao Ling calmed down in the end, his hatred for Gu Yan became deeper and deeper day by day, and even Dong Guang also hated him.

Now that Xiao Ling's scar was uncovered by Gu Yan in public, his energy and blood suddenly surged into his brain. Thunder gathered in his palms, and he was about to take action against Gu Yan.

At this time, a clear voice came from the house

"Xiao Ling, stop!"

After Xiao Ling heard Xiao Li's voice, he reluctantly dispersed the thunder in his palm and glared at Gu Yan fiercely.

Gu Yan looked at Xiao Li with some surprise. He didn't expect that a playboy like Xiao Ling would listen to Xiao Li's words so much.

What Gu Yan didn't know was that Xiao Li had been superior to Xiao Ling in both literacy and martial arts since he was young.

Xiao Changsheng once said that if Xiao Li were a boy, the position of head of the Xiao family would definitely be hers.

From this sentence, whenever Xiao Ling got into trouble, it was his sister who would end it for him. Under the pampering of this sister, Xiao Ling gradually turned into a lawless playboy.

Of course, no one knows whether Xiao Li did all this intentionally.

But according to Xiao Li's doting on Xiao Ling, when Gu Yan and Xiao Li first met, they should not have just lightly mentioned that Gu Yan had knocked out Xiao Ling's teeth, but should have attacked Gu Yan with anger.

Obviously, Xiao Li's city is so deep and terrifying that even the kind of person Xiao Ling will become in the future has been carefully planned.

Gu Yan looked at Xiao Li, smiled and cupped his fists.

"Miss Xiao, Gu Yan came as promised."

Xiao Li bowed slightly and said to Gu Yan

"Master Gu, please come with me."

Gu Yan nodded and followed Xiao Li towards the depths of Xiao's house.

When Bai Hu and Su Zhaoyue were about to follow, Gu Yan pointed at the banquet

"You guys go first and sit down and wait for me."

Gu Yan followed Xiao Li and walked away awkwardly. After about a stick of incense, he came to an extremely quiet small courtyard.

A faint aura condensed on Xiao Li's fingertips. He tapped his hand lightly, and the small courtyard was suddenly enveloped by a formation.

The energy in Gu Yan's body was secretly circulating, and he squinted at the mysterious woman in front of him.

Xiao Li saw Gu Yan's defensiveness and gently pointed to the stool next to the stone table and said

"Master Gu, please sit down. Xiao Li has no intention of hurting Master Gu."

Gu Yan's true energy was still secretly circulating, and he did not let go of his defensiveness just because of a word from the woman in front of him.

Xiao Li looked at Gu Yan and said quietly

"Master Gu, if Xiao Li will give Master Gu a gift that is hard to refuse in the future, can Master Gu promise Xiao Li something?"
