Chapter 164: Qin Feng's Response
“Brother Qin, what are you worrying about? When I joined the Demon Slayer Department, I was extremely excited.
Do you know? Many girls in The Great Qian Dynasty greatly admire demon slayers.
I even know a senior who married the most beautiful woman in his hometown.
That girl had skin like condensed fat, as beautiful as a closed moon and shy flower, making me envious.”
“Yes.” Zhang Tiannan echoed on the side.
Men often find it hard to resist the temptation of a beautiful woman, and Yang He firmly believed in this.
Just then, a crisp and pleasant voice came from outside the hall: “Young master, tonight, I and Miss will go outside the city to practice swordsmanship and won’t be coming back.”
Yang He looked in the direction of the sound. It was the blue-clothed beauty who shook hands with Qin Feng this morning. Behind her, there was also a white-clothed figure, as beautiful as a fairy under the moon.
Although Liu Jianli had a prominent reputation, most people had only heard of her name and not seen her.
But her exceptional beauty was real, and it was no wonder Yang He stared in amazement.
“Okay,” Qin Feng responded. He locked eyes with Liu Jianli, who nodded slightly, and then left with Lan Ningshuang.
“Who were those two just now?” Yang He blinked.
“The one in white is my wife, and the one in blue is her personal sword attendant.” Qin Feng said casually.
“Eh.” Yang He showed an envious look. If he remembered correctly, a personal sword attendant could also share a bed.
With two such beauties always by his side, who would be willing to take risks and join the Demon Slayer Department?
Yang He shook his head. He didn’t forget his mission and spoke again, “In life, one should have some pursuits. What men pursue throughout their lives is nothing more than, um, women…cough, nothing more than money and power. Since you were appointed by the Commander, you don’t need to undergo a strength test initially. You can directly receive the Green Jade One-Star Order. Do you know how much the monthly salary of the Green Jade demon slayer is?”
Qin Feng shook his head.
“Twenty taels of silver! In addition, the Demon Slayer Department will provide you with additional cultivation resources, such as Blood Qi Pills and Yin Spirit Pills! All these things together are the income that ordinary people can only earn in a few years.”
“That’s right,” Zhang Tiannan nodded.
Qin Feng’s expression was strange. What could these salaries do? You see, the Demon Slayer Department in Jinyang City, in a sense, was supported by him.
Qing’er on the side couldn’t help but speak up, “Young Master has a keen business mind. What you guys are talking about is probably not even a fraction of what Young Master earns in a day.”
Yang He was stunned, suddenly remembering that when Qin Feng wanted to reward him, he didn’t ask for cultivation resources and money, but instead wanted to open a restaurant in Qiyuan City, seeking a favor from the Governor.
Looking at this large mansion, he probably couldn’t afford it even if he worked hard for half his life without eating or drinking.
After figuring this out, Yang He immediately changed the topic, “But money is ultimately an external thing, which you don’t bring when you are born and don’t take when you die. However, fame and fortune can be passed down from generation to generation, leaving a lasting legacy. In The Great Qian Dynasty, how many predecessors of the Demon Slayer Department have guarded one side against demons and monsters, being sung and praised by people. This is a great honor!”
“Correct!”
Yang He glared at Zhang Tiannan, clearly indicating for him to say more.
The latter pondered for a moment and added, “That’s right.”
Yang He: “.”
At this point, the second brother spoke up, “However, in the Demon Slaying Department, many have also died at the hands of demons, turning into dry bones, unknown and nameless.
I respect the Demon Slaying Department, and I admire you both, but I don’t want my big brother to take unnecessary risks.”
Qin Feng, upon hearing this, was lost in thought.
“You’ve misunderstood. We invited Brother Qin to join the Demon Slaying Department because of his medical skills.
Dealing with Demon Slaying matters doesn’t necessarily require his direct involvement,” explained Yang He.
“But even so, there will still be dangers, right?” Second mother looked worried.
Yang He and Zhang Tiannan exchanged a glance and did not deny this.
People often say that once you enter the Demon Slaying Department, you’re at death’s door for half your life.
But among them, there is another saying circulating, once you enter the Demon Slaying Department, you’re in a lifetime struggle against the King of Hell.
Dancing with death is their daily routine.
Even if Qin Feng joins the Demon Slaying Department only to treat injuries for colleagues, encountering powerful demons, and monsters might lead to being affected and losing one’s life.
Yang He glanced at the expressions of the Qin family members and sighed, standing up, “Today has been a disturbance. I hope you won’t blame us. Zhang Tiannan, let’s go.”
“Alright.”
The two stood up, and Yang He was about to take the Green Jade Demon Slaying Token and the appointment letter and leave.
But Qin Feng, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, “Leave the Green Jade Token.”
This statement surprised everyone in the hall.
“Big brother.”
“Feng’er.”
The expressions of the second brother and the second mother were complex, hesitant to speak.
Yang He and Zhang Tiannan’s eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but he still solemnly reminded, “Your family is right. Once you join the Demon Slaying Department, you can’t avoid encountering danger.”
“Our heads are hanging on our shoulders today, but we don’t know where they will fall tomorrow.
You, on the other hand, need to think carefully.”
Qin Feng didn’t say much, but reached out and took the green jade token and the appointment letter.
In his mind, a figure was exceptionally clear. Although he was down and out, yet he was firm and resolute.
To live as a hero, to die as a valiant ghost.
There are always some things that transcend life.
Although he may not achieve such greatness, perhaps he can do some things within his capabilities.
“Are you sure I only need to practice medicine and not do anything else?” Qin Feng asked.
“Of course.” Yang He immediately replied.
“Good, I promise to join the Demon Slaying Department.” He blurted out, with a smile on his face. At that moment, he felt much relieved.
The solemnity in Qin Jian’an’s eyes faded away, replaced by contentment. He lifted the corners of his mouth, as if he had let go of something.
Second Mother patted his shoulder, worriedly saying, “Old Master.”
Qin Feng also looked at his father.
“Feng’er, An’er, listen.
I never ask you to bring glory to the family; I only hope for your safety.
However, I also respect your own choices.”
“Dad.” Qin Feng and Qin An were moved.
“Remember what I said to you before?
In life, have a clear conscience.
Don’t forget your original intentions to stay on the right path.
Feng’er, do what you want to do, without worrying about us.” Father spoke slowly, his voice not loud but penetrating.
“Thanks for your understanding, Dad.” Qin Feng respectfully expressed his gratitude.
After completing the mission, Yang He and Zhang Tiannan hurriedly returned to the Lord’s Mansion to report to Minister Zhou.
“He agreed?”
“Yes, Chief Zhou.”
“Good, tell me the details.” Zhou Kai stroked his beard and smiled. He couldn’t wait to see Li Mingxuan’s expression when he learned about this.
Yang He recounted the whole story.
After listening, Zhou Kai nodded and remained silent.
Outside the city of Jinyang, on the high mountains.
The white figure of Bai Li, the old man, appeared next to Li Yang’s stone monument.
He gently touched the stone monument, looked at the inscription, and said with a smile, “You brat, these characters are finally readable.”
