Chapter 681: You’re Really Bad (2)

Therefore, the academy teacher immediately sensed it. “Rank 2, y-you actually broke through to Rank 2.” The teacher was flabbergasted. He had never seen a person with a newly awakened bloodline who could break through to Rank 2 in two years after becoming the instructor of the Demon Suppression Hall. Not to mention that the other party was a seven-year-old child.

A genius.

Without a doubt, he was a genius. Almost half a day later, everyone in the Demon Suppression Division knew that there was a lightning-element bloodline genius in the Apprentice Hall.

However, compared to the academy teachers, the Rank 4 lieutenant of the Demon Suppression Division had a much broader horizon and was more knowledgeable. Although this cultivation speed was fast, it had appeared in prefecture capitals, state capitals, and even the capital. Some of the newly awakened ones were even Rank 2.

Lieutenant Lei looked at Shen Ping. “Your potential is not bad. You have to work harder next. Don’t be arrogant and complacent. You have to know that there’s always someone better than you. If you can break through to Rank 3 before the age of ten, Hl personally send you to the prefecture to cultivate.”

“Yes, sir.”

Lieutenant Lei indeed thought highly of Shen Ping. It was beneficial for him to have such a genius in his district. Therefore, he specially approved for Shen Ping to stay in the upper house with a separate courtyard.

It was a pity. He was destined to be disappointed. This was because Shen Ping did not plan to go to the prefecture capital so soon. How could he not understand the principle that the tallest tree would be destroyed by the wind? Although one would obtain more resources with good talent, it was also accompanied by risks. Even if he appeared, he would be at a higher cultivation level, not at the third rank.

Besides, with his own experience, he felt that he was much stronger than this world. Of course, Shen Ping would not be blindly arrogant and look down on the cultivation system of the entire world.

There were three rooms in a small courtyard. His daily life was taken care of by the maidservants of the Demon Suppression Division. When taking a bath, the two maidservants would wait on him. This was the treatment of those with outstanding talent.

However, his seven-year-old body was really helpless. Otherwise, he really wanted to see if his golden finger could obtain other benefits in this world. After all, this was how he made his fortune. He would not reject anyone.

Soaking in the steaming wooden bucket, his eyes flickered with purple as he used the Purple Eye Divine Pupil. In fact, he had already used it a long time ago, but there was no special physique in the entire county.

Early the next morning, a lively little girl appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard. It was Lian Nishang. She stepped into the small courtyard, her bright eyes filled with curiosity as she looked back and forth.

During this year, apart from cultivating, Shen Ping also had a good relations.h.i.+p with Lian Nishang. With his methods, he could easily make the little girl have a good impression of him. Not to mention his appearance, just the occasional food, snacks, or interesting things could arouse the little girl’s curiosity.

-Brother Shen, your house is so big. It will definitely be comfortable to live in.” Lian Nishang was extremely envious. With four people living in the lower room, there was no private s.p.a.ce at all. It was also quite crowded, especially when it came to bathing, so it was very inconvenient.

Shen Ping brought Lian Nishang to the bathroom. Looking at the wooden bucket, Lian Nishang became even more envious. “Nishang, now you know the benefits of cultivation, right? You have to work harder in the future. This way, you can have a separate courtyard like me.”

The Lifeline Technique could indeed be pa.s.sed on to Lian Nishang, but at the moment, Shen Ping did not plan to impart it. The cultivation speed of this technique was very fast. If Lian Nishang also broke through to the second rank in a short period of time, it would definitely attract the attention of Lieutenant Lei Although he would not suspect anything else, there was still some risk. Hence, Shen Ping did not plan to spread the news now. “Come over when the cla.s.s is over. I’ll instruct the maids to boil hot water.”

Lian Nishang’s watery eyes lit up. Then, she lowered her head with a blush. ‘■Brother Shen, you’re so naughty.” With that, she ran out of the small courtyard.

Shen Ping’s face was full of question marks. What was this girl thinking? He was only seven years old and had yet to change his teeth.

A few days later, taking advantage of the break, he went to his parents’ residence and bought a lot of things for them.

Breaking through to Rank Two meant that he could also receive a basic salary. This was the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty’s Demon Suppression Division. As long as one became a second rank bloodline pract.i.tioner, they could eat imperial food.

Seeing that their son was so filial, his parents were very gratified that they made a large table of food for lunch. Living in the county had increased their living conditions as well as their expenditure. However, the old couple usually couldn’t bear to part with anything. Today, they were considered extravagant. “Ping’er, I heard that the Demon Suppression Division has to deal with demons often Some time ago, I heard from my neighbors that in our town, a village was eaten by demons. Several people sent by the Demon Suppression Division died. You have to be more careful in the future. If you can avoid it, don’t go.” Shen Ping nodded repeatedly as he listened, but he was pondering in his heart. It had been seven years since he was reincarnated into this world, and this was the first time he had heard of the existence of demons nearby.

In the academy, the teacher had been talking about all kinds of cases, but he had not revealed the news of the Demon Suppression Division killing demons. He had not seen it in the Demon Suppression Division either. Clearly, this kind of thing was very tight on children who needed to be nurtured in the early stages.

Moreover, apprentices usually could not come into contact with other members of the Demon Suppression Division. Every year, they only had one or two chances to see their parents. He could come out this time because of the treatment of being talented.

Time flew by.

Five years pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.

After the lively Lantern Festival, the deserted Demon Suppression Division became lively again. Be it the apprentices or the members of the Demon Suppression Division, they began to return one after another. However, in the past five years, the number of people in the Demon Suppression Division had decreased instead of increased.

“Brother Shen.”

A clear and pleasant voice sounded in the courtyard. When Shen Ping walked out of the house, he saw Lian Nishang wearing a pink-purple silk Luo Lianyi short embroidered dress, a green flower hairpin, and beautiful shoes with moon-white patterns. She stood at the door of the courtyard. Not only was she lively and pleasant, but her youthful aura made people feel full of vitality. This girl was only 12 years old, but her figure had already begun to take shape. The fabric on her chest looked like a small lotus that had just revealed its sharp horns. The outline of her face had a hint of gentleness, especially her bright eyes, which made him feel some familiarity.

‘■Not bad. Looks like you haven’t been slacking off while you were at home.” Two years ago, Lian Nishang broke through to the second level and entered the middle room. At that time, he pa.s.sed the Lifeline Technique to her. In these three years, she had already reached the third level. She lived in the upper room and had her own small courtyard.

“Ningshang doesn’t dare to be lazy. Otherwise, she will never be able to catch up to Brother Shen.” She giggled and quickly went forward to grab Shen Ping’s arm. She shook it and said, “Brother Shen, you have a good relations.h.i.+p with Lieutenant Lei. Can you tell him to let us kill demons together?”

Killing demons was something that every apprentice yearned for when they grew up. Under normal circ.u.mstances, Rank-2 bloodline cultivators had to carry out missions to clean up demons. However, Lian Nishang, Shen Ping, and the others were too young and were still in the stage of rapid growth. The Demon Suppression Division usually did not a.s.sign missions.

Shen Ping’s face darkened. “Killing demons is not a joke. If you’re not careful, you’ll die. Are you sure you’re ready for such a b.l.o.o.d.y scene?

Lian Nishang nodded seriously. “Nichang has long been prepared. When I was young, I saw demons eating people with my own eyes.” Speaking of this, she was very hardworking. Like most young men and women of this age, she had the ideal of contributing to the people of the world and slaying demons. “Lieutenant Lei is not a reasonable person. It’s not easy to convince him!” Shen Ping looked troubled.

Lian Nishang hurriedly said, “As long as Brother Shen can persuade him, I’m willing to do anything.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

Shen Ping whispered in her ear. The girl’s cheeks instantly turned red and quickly spread to her ears. “Brother Shen, you’re still so bad. You only know how to bully Nishang. Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore.” Then she ran away.

Looking at her youthful and lovely back, Shen Ping touched his chin and could not help but sigh. “Fortunately, her memories are sealed. Otherwise, it would be difficult to see such a delicate and energetic personality..”
