There was no time in cultivation. Ever since he obtained the Divine Refinement Method, Chen Xuan was addicted to cultivation every day.
In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed. During this period, a major event happened in Qingzhou.
Gu Xiyu, the secretary of the Demon Slaying Division, one of the three giants of Qingzhou, was transferred to Chuzhou.
And her position was taken over by Sima Yuan, who came from the Central Plains.
In Qingzhou, the Guard Battalion, Demon Suppression Division, and Demon Slayer Division were originally jointly governed by the Guard Battalion.
But this Sima Yuan from the Central Plains had an extraordinary identity. He landed in the Qing Province and immediately suppressed Jiang Chaosheng, becoming the true ruler of the Qing Province.
During this period, Gu Xixue returned to Qing Zhou once and told Chen Xuan about Sima Yuan's background.
At that time, Chen Xuan did not care, but he did not expect that he would quickly have an interaction with Sima Yuan.
On this day, Chen Xuan was lying in the courtyard sunbathing. A person who claimed to be Sima Yuan's subordinate had brought members of the Demon Slayer Division over.
They wanted to forcefully search Chen Xuan's villa.
"Everyone, it's fine if you want to search my villa, but you have to give me a reason.”
Chen Xuan stood in the courtyard and blocked the way of these people.
"Get lost! I, the Monster Slayer Division, do not need a reason to do things.”
The leading white-robed young man pushed Chen Xuan to the side in an abnormally rude manner.
Then, he barged into Chen Xuan's villa and searched inside and out. After finding nothing unusual, he opened the big iron door in the basement.
When he entered, he found nothing.
Before this, Chen Xuan had long cleaned up the fragments and bones of the statue.
He was afraid that one day Gu Xixue would insist on thanking the demon inside and barge in. He did not expect it to come in handy today.
The other party did not find anything.
Chen Xuan originally thought that he was about to leave, but who knew that the young man would look at Chen Xuan coldly and order his subordinates,"This person is very suspicious. Take him back to the Demon Slayer Department.”
After saying that, she grabbed Chen Xuan without any explanation.
Chen Xuan did not resist and allowed them to bring him back to the Demon Slaying Department.
Many members of the Demon Slayer Department were Gu Xiyu's former subordinates and also Gu Xixue's colleagues. Many of them knew Chen Xuan.
In the main hall of the Demon Slayer Division, Sima Yuan sat on the main seat. The team leader of the Demon Slayer Division, who was in charge of the search, had returned.
"Director Sima, we've searched the villa and found no traces of demons.”
"You didn't find anything? Could it be that the information I received was wrong?”
Sima Yuan frowned.
"Where's the owner of the villa? Is there anything unusual about him?"
The young man in white shook his head again." We've checked. He's neither a demon nor a martial artist. He's just an ordinary person. We've already locked him up in prison. We don't know how to deal with him."”
At this moment, Deputy Secretary Zuo stood up.
"Secretary Sima, the owner of the villa knows our former Secretary Gu. He is definitely not a bad person. Since there are no traces of demons in the villa, why don't we let him go?”
Who knew that when Sima Yuan heard that, he only snorted coldly.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I wouldn't dare!"
Deputy Secretary Zuo hurriedly lowered his head.
"Although this Chen Xuan is not a demon, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be controlled by a demon. In any case, he was just an ordinary person. In two days, he could just find a crime and execute him.”
"This…"
Deputy Secretary Zuo's expression changed. He did not expect the other party to be so ruthless.
"What, do you have a problem with that?"
Sima Yuan's brows immediately furrowed.
He wouldn't be staying in Qingzhou for long, so he naturally didn't want to build a good relationship with the members of Qingzhou's Demon Slayers Department.
"This subordinate does not dare!"
Deputy Secretary Zuo hurriedly lowered his head.
"Alright, all of you may leave. Continue to investigate the clues regarding the Magical Beasts.”
Sima Yuan waved his hand, and Deputy Secretary Zuo could only leave.
……
Chen Xuan was locked in the prison. He did not want to expose his identity as a demon, so he let them capture him.
In his opinion, if they couldn't find any evidence, they would naturally let him go in two days.
It didn't matter if he stayed in the Demon Slaying Department for two days.
At this moment, the cell door opened and Deputy Secretary Zuo walked in.
She was holding a lunchbox in her hand.
"Chen Xuan, this is some meat I specially bought for you on the street. Have a good meal before you die.”
"I originally wanted to help you put in a few good words, but Sima Yuan was arrogant and didn't take me, the Deputy Secretary, seriously at all.”
"Perhaps this is your fate."
Deputy Secretary Zuo sighed. After handing the lunch box to Chen Xuan, he turned around and left.
It was not that he had not thought of reporting Chen Xuan's matter to Gu Xiyu and asking her to think of a way to save Chen Xuan, but in the end, he did not do so.
Sima Yuan was destined to take over as the chief secretary in the future, and if Gu Xiyu offended Sima Yuan, she would definitely not have a good ending in the future.
He had already done his best to help Chen Xuan. He did not want to affect Gu Xiyu's career because of Chen Xuan.
He knew that this was the sorrow of the weak.
In this world, martial artists were high and mighty. Even if ordinary people died, no one would pay attention.
