As the sky brightened, the sun in this world was much larger than on Earth in his previous life. Even though it was early morning, the heat could still be felt.
Having grown up in this place since childhood, he was used to it.
Lin Yuan pushed open the door and could already smell the aroma of breakfast wafting in the air.
Glancing at his sister’s room, the door and windows were still tightly closed, the lingering smell of blood in the air had dissipated, replaced by a faint medicinal scent.
“Young Master Lin, are you awake?”
Upon entering the main hall, there was only Ji Ling.
She was sitting at the table enjoying her meal. When she saw Lin Yuan approaching, her body stiffened for a moment, then she slowed down her pace silently.
“Xiao Yu said she needed to go out for a while and will be back soon. She asked us to eat first.”
“Oh.”
Lin Yuan replied faintly.
He knew perfectly well what Lin Xianyu went out to do.
It was nothing more than to buy some medicinal materials for the mysterious woman hidden in her room to aid in her recovery.
Lin Yuan had already killed the main priest of the Lingsheng Sect, and the rest were just a ragtag group, most likely already cleaned up by the Demon Suppression Bureau yesterday.
So there was nothing to worry about when his sister went out.
While eating his meal quickly, Lin Yuan quietly contemplated his plans for the future.
First.
It was necessary to join a faction.
Lin Yuan could comprehend upgraded or modified versions of martial arts through the simulator, but he couldn’t create something out of nothing.
So he needed new martial arts.
There were three sources.
The Demon Suppression Bureau, sects, and factions.
The first choice was immediately ruled out by Lin Yuan.
Although the first death in his simulated life was due to being framed, the fact that the Demon Suppression Bureau convicted him without investigating thoroughly was truly chilling.
According to what Huang Lang had said.
The person who led to his death was that despicable person, which further showed that the Demon Suppression Bureau was no longer pure.
A woman with great supernatural powers could stretch her hand directly into the special organization responsible for demon slaying, and have control over a junior official who contributed greatly to life and death…
The degree of corruption at the higher levels could be imagined!
As for the sects, after some simple deliberation, Lin Yuan also crossed them off in his mind.
Because joining a sect required taking a master!
But with the simulator by his side, Lin Yuan didn’t need a so-called master at all. Other than adding constraints on himself, what was the point?
That left only one choice.
“Faction…”
Lin Yuan murmured softly to himself.
Being in a faction didn’t mean it was weaker than a sect, it was just a different power structure.
It had some similarities with the Demon Suppression Bureau, relying mainly on contributions and strength for promotion, very straightforward, whoever had the bigger fist was right!
“Young Master Lin.”
Suddenly, Ji Ling, who was sitting opposite, spoke, “Have you considered becoming a guest official?”
Guest official?
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking at her.
“Our Ji Family has been recruiting guest officials all along!”
Ji Ling’s beautiful eyes stared straight at him, faintly tinged with expectation:
“As long as you become a regular guest official of the Ji Family, you will receive one thousand taels of silver as an offering every month, various medicinal herbs for cultivation, and even a choice of martial arts!”
“And for the most part, guest officials are free most of the time, only needing to lend a hand when there are tasks!”
“Free agent, just need to lend a hand when there are tasks!”
“Young Master Lin, are you interested?”
In fact.
The ordinary guest ambassador of the Ji family only receives five hundred taels of silver per month. Ji Ling secretly doubled it, planning to make up the amount from her pocket money.
At most, she can cut back on her own expenses!
This is actually quite a good part-time job… Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly, but he still shook his head:
“I don’t plan to go to the capital for now.”
“…Well.”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Ji Ling’s beautiful eyes, but she quickly smiled again, jokingly saying, “If Young Master Lin ever plans to be a guest ambassador, be sure to consider me…uh, consider our Ji family!”
“Alright.”
Lin Yuan nonchalantly nodded and continued to focus on his meal.
“Boss, the bloody scent has disappeared nearby.”
In a small alley, more than a dozen figures converged from various directions.
They were dressed differently.
Some looked like ordinary hunters, some carried book baskets like scholars, and some disguised themselves as beggars, looking dirty all over…
“The demoness from the Demon Sect should be hiding in a certain civilian residence.”
The scholar frowned, surveying the neatly arranged civilian houses around him, “Boss, what should we do, should we seek assistance from the bureau?”
They were the Demon Suppression Bureau, not thugs.
They couldn’t barge into ordinary people’s homes to search for someone like that.
But having the bureau handle such matters would be much more convenient.
A middle-aged man carrying a divination flag shook his head slowly, his eyes veiled with a cold light, and said in a low voice:
“The demoness is skilled in mind-control techniques, letting the bailiffs search would easily allow her to escape! Li Xuan, can you narrow down the range even more?”
“I’ll try!”
Li Xuan, disguised as a hunter, nodded.
He walked calmly down the street, pausing briefly in front of each house, carefully sensing.
Since the master of the Lingsheng Sect was killed by a mysterious strongman, the work of the Demon Suppression Bureau has become much easier, effortlessly eliminating all the remaining cult members.
Then, following the marks left behind, they began tracking their previous target once again.
The demoness Ji Dongge of the Daluo Sect!
This woman was extremely powerful. If not for the fact that she was severely injured in the clash with the strongman from the capital, they would not have the qualifications to pursue her based on their cultivation alone.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Li Xuan’s footsteps halted as he stood in front of a small courtyard.
His nose twitched, picking up a faint medicinal scent, and… a very faint hint of a bloody scent, almost imperceptible!
Li Xuan’s eyes lit up with joy, just about to turn around to signal, but his body suddenly stiffened.
“What’s going on?”
Not far away, Pu Liangcai, who had been observing Li Xuan’s actions, frowned as he noticed something amiss.
He looked past Li Xuan.
The courtyard gate had already been opened from the inside.
A handsome young man was standing calmly there, hands hanging at his sides, meeting Li Xuan’s gaze as he stood outside the gate.
