The Resentful Me and My Stealing System

——"I'm going to kill the monster."

"Aren't you killing demons?"

——"Ahem...I went to the prison to interrogate the prisoners today..."

"The poison of the disciples of Tianmen Mountain is almost finished, we have to leave."

Xiao Yusheng was a little disappointed, because he might be able to meet Shi Jiu by the way when he borrowed a venue from the Demon Slayer.As a result, Shi Jiu didn't show up, and all the people present here were those demon hunters who were also poisoned...

Xiao Yusheng's left hand was caressing the communication jade talisman in the wide sleeve of his robe. He wanted to ask when Shi Jiu would come back, but he didn't have the nerve to ask.It would be embarrassing if Shi Jiu felt that he came to him because he felt that he didn't have a good meal today.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yusheng quietly sent a message to Shi Jiu: "When will you be back?"

Not long after, the jade talisman on Shi Jiu's side sent back a message: "Look to the right."

Xiao Yusheng opened his eyes and glanced to the right out of the corner of his eye, just in time to see Shi Jiu standing outside the entrance showing half of his body waving.

Xiao Yusheng hesitated for a while in his seat, but considering the large number of people present, he suppressed his appetite.

She didn't do it because of the stutter, but Shi Jiu did say that he brought a midnight snack.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yusheng sent another message to Shi Jiu: "Why are you here?"

Shi Jiu was always paying attention to Xiao Yusheng's reply, and it took him a while to understand Xiao Yusheng's meaning after seeing this message.

Although he temporarily lives in Demon Slayer, he absolutely cannot answer truthfully: "I heard that you are in Demon Slayer, so I'll drop by to have a look. Shall we have supper together later?"

——"Okay, okay!"

That's it.

After the last Tianmen Mountain disciple finished detoxifying, Li Fuchuan said some polite words.But because Xiao Yusheng standing beside him looked cold and absent-minded, no matter how thick-skinned Li Fuchuan was, he couldn't speak anymore.

"...It's the same sentence, thank you all the priests of Tianmen Mountain for your help. These days Jinxiang City is really not peaceful, but thanks to our concerted efforts, the tranquility of Jinxiang City has been preserved. Here, Li Fuchuan thanked the people in the city. Pass you."

"It's getting late, I will send someone to take the priests back to the inn to rest. After you have recuperated, I will personally invite you to a banquet to express my gratitude."

After speaking, Li Fuchuan looked around.

In fact, even without looking at him, he knew that the group of old fritters must have walked away long ago or stayed far away.But to his surprise, there was actually a young demon hunter standing aside, who didn't seem to notice that the others had taken the opportunity to slip away.

Li Fuchuan was very satisfied: "You, send the Taoists back to the inn to rest."

"Obey." Shi Jiu clasped his fists with a serious face, "I promise to complete the task."

Chapter 48 Chapter 46 Do you know Shi Jiu?

The team of disciples from Tianmen Mountain walked towards the Yuelai Inn in a mighty manner. As Xiao Yusheng, he stared straight ahead without saying anything along the way, maintaining the personality of the perfect master sister.

——But behind his back, he was secretly describing to Shi Jiu the location where he would meet later.

Just now, many Tianmen Mountain disciples were chatting with the demon envoys, but they were interrupted by Li Fuchuan. The chats were not enjoyable, and they felt very itchy about what many demon envoys had said halfway through.

A Tianmen Mountain disciple leaned over to Shi Jiu's side: "My friend, how long have you been working in Demon Slayer?"

"Almost ten years." Shi Jiu replied vaguely.

Ten years later, Shi Jiu was only fourteen or fifteen years old, so he blurred the time to make his answer look more real.

The Tianmen Mountain disciple's eyes lit up: "Then you must know a lot about Demon Slayer, right?"

Shi Jiu will not be troubled if he talks about it. Whether it is about the family affairs of Catcher Wang, Mr. Li’s best friend, or Mr. Zhang’s eccentricities, he is familiar with it: "I know more about the side of the capital, and the side of Jinxiang City. If not, I haven’t been here for long.”

The Tianmen Mountain disciple didn't care: "Then do you know that there is a man named Shi Jiu?"

Shi Jiu's expression changed slightly: "I know, what happened to him?"

The disciples of Tianmen Mountain looked around and found that many fellow disciples were listening with pricked ears: "How is this person's character?"

Shi Jiu coughed twice in embarrassment: "Ah, this... I'm new to Jinxiang City, so I don't know much about him."

The Tianmen Mountain disciple still did not give up: "Then have you heard about him?"

Shi Jiu looked around, but found no one who knew him: "Well... I only heard that Shi Jiu was originally working in Huainan City, but when he passed by Jinxiang City, because Jinxiang City was not short of manpower recently, he stayed here. I helped in Jinxiang City... These days, I have also followed the colleague of Demon Slayer to deal with the security issues in the city... Who are you, and why do you ask him?"

"My name is Chang Le, I'm just asking..." The Tianmen Mountain disciple shrank his neck resentfully, and couldn't hold back after a while, "Can he really win the fifth rank?"

Shi Jiu was very shrewd and didn't answer right away, instead he asked back: "Why do you always inquire about the internal information of our Demon Slayer, who told you about Shi Jiu?"

Chang Le doesn't have much experience in the world, so when faced with such a tough question, he can only answer honestly: "I heard what you demon slaying people said—it's just that, that... called Feng or something. with?"

"... Feng Shu?"

"Ah, that's right, that's him, the one with double triangular eyes." Chang Le rubbed his hands excitedly, "He said that the Hehuan Sect was causing trouble in the city, and there were two fifth ranks, one of which was arrested by a man named Shi Jiu. The demon envoy was killed on the spot, is there such a thing?"

Shi Jiu decisively realized that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was quite right.

After all, I had a wave of fashion value at that time, and due to my inexperience, I didn't hide my appearance when I dealt with Chu Wanwan, so many people in the river and lake saw my face.

This matter cannot be covered up, and I must quickly think of a way to explain why I can win the fifth rank.

But I acted with Feng Shu and the others during the day and didn't hear the news.Instead, after returning to Jinxiang City at night, I was separated from them for a while... Could it be that someone told them about it at that time?

In fact, Shi Jiu was not yet mentally prepared to stand under the sun suddenly. Although he had never been scared when he was giving a speech since he was a child, standing under the sun in his previous life was not dangerous...

"This..." Shi Jiu rolled his eyes. Since Feng Shu has brought up this matter, it must spread slowly these days, "It is true that there is such a thing."

"How old is this person?" Chang Le chased after him.

While thinking about why the other party asked this question, Shi Jiu replied: "It's about my age, 23."

"Oh, that's it." Chang Le immediately felt relieved, "That's okay."

Shi Jiu's curiosity was immediately aroused: "Why are you all right?"

"He's 24 or [-] years old, so he's the fifth-rank." Chang Le let out a long sigh of relief, "If he's as old as Senior Sister Xiao and can still cultivate to the fifth-rank, I definitely don't believe it."

Shi Jiu suddenly realized: "Bai Yuxian? I heard that her cultivation is at the peak of the fourth rank... so how old is she?"

"Senior Sister Xiao hasn't reached her twenties yet. It's been six or seven years. He definitely didn't have a fourth grade in his time." Chang Le replied unsuspectingly, "As long as Sister Xiao wants to break through one day, the younger generation will be the first." The title is still Senior Sister Xiao's."

Shi Jiu was happy. He didn't expect others to be more concerned about this kind of thing than Xiao Yusheng: "She breaks through if she wants to? I heard that the bottleneck from the fourth to the fifth rank is as difficult as the sky, even more difficult than the fifth to the sixth rank. She Break through if you want to break through?"

"That's someone else! Who are you looking down on!" Chang Le became impatient, as if she wanted to regain her position, and said unconvinced, "Senior Sister Xiao is born with a clear heart of swordsmanship, leapfrog challenges are like picking things out of a bag, ordinary fifth-rank is not her opponent at all ,Do you know why?"

"why?"

Chang Le stared, with pride in his words: "Because the difficulty of the fourth grade to the fifth grade lies in the presentation of [Tao], warriors call it Martial Arts, Buddhism is called Dao, Confucianism is called Wenxin, and monks are called Daotu. But Tongming Jianxin is at the top of the path, so the fifth rank is not a bottleneck for Senior Sister Xiao at all, it just depends on when she wants to break through."

At this moment, Xiao Yusheng's text message rang in Shi Jiu's mind: 【Don't listen to his nonsense. 】

"Oh..." Shi Jiu nodded thoughtfully, "Then why didn't she break through?"

Chang Le replied mysteriously: "Senior Sister Xiao is a person who wants to pursue the supreme way of swordsmanship, but once the way is determined, it is equivalent to determining the upper limit of development for the rest of his life. Ordinary people may be satisfied with a way of swordsmanship." , For example, what is a strong sword, a soft sword, a sharp golden sword—but Senior Sister Xiao is different, she only cultivates the [sword] way. So she wants to read the world's sword manuals, practice the supreme sword, and go straight to the origin of the way of the sword."

Shi Jiu glanced at Xiao Yusheng's back from the corner of his eye, and could see that she seemed to want to turn this way, but held back her silence.

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Jiu quietly sent a message to Xiao Yusheng in a joking tone: 【You are so amazing. 】

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yusheng didn't answer, and walked forward faster.

Yuelai Inn is not far from Demon Slayer, and they arrived there soon.But after Xiao Yusheng brought the Tianmen Mountain disciples into the inn, he didn't reply to Shi Jiu, nor did he say anything about sneaking out to eat.

Shi Jiu felt that Xiao Yusheng seemed a little abnormal, but he didn't ask immediately, instead he began to speculate in his heart.

During the whole journey, Chang Le only reacted strangely when he told himself that Xiao Yusheng could break through to the fifth rank at any time and wanted to practice the Supreme Sword Art. It was hard for him not to think about it.

"Are you okay?" After thinking about it, Shi Jiu decided to start with this sentence, "Are you still out for supper?"

Fortunately, Xiao Yusheng's reply was still quick: "It's all right, I just don't have much appetite."

Shi Jiu finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

A foodie who suddenly tells you that he has a bad appetite and doesn’t want to eat after he was full of interest just now and wants to eat supper, it is probably because his stomach is filled with troubles.

Just as Shi Jiu was thinking about how to start the following topic, Xiao Yusheng opened the window and jumped out: "Change the place."

Chapter 49 Chapter 47 Xiao Yusheng dare not break through

This time they didn't go under the bridge hole, but went to the top of Jianghai Tower.

It is very high here, and generally no one will notice it.And the wind at night is cool and comfortable.

"I heard you say you have no appetite, so I thought you were in a bad mood." Shi Jiu said deliberately, observing Xiao Yusheng's expression.

But Xiao Yusheng's expression was very calm, and he just tore off a piece of meat from the smoked chicken calmly: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

"Is it because of what Chang Le said about breaking through to the fifth rank?" Shi Jiu thought about it, and felt that it might be okay to talk about it given their current relationship.

Xiao Yusheng's hand to tear the chicken slowed down, this incident obviously affected her.

"Everyone has their defenses easily broken. For example, if someone talks about me behind my back, I will feel very embarrassed." Shi Jiu began to talk about himself, "On the way here, I still I heard from Chang Le that one of my colleagues told me about killing a fifth-grade demon from the Hehuan Sect, and I was quite embarrassed at the time."

Xiao Yusheng glanced at Shi Jiu without knowing it, and after reacting for a while, his eyes suddenly became guilty: "Oh... so...you went to the prison today to interrogate the Hehuan Sect?"

In fact, she had previously said behind her back that Shi Jiu beheaded a fifth-rank monster... Maybe Shi Jiu also felt embarrassed when he found out...

Seeing that Xiao Yusheng was willing to speak, Shi Jiu also heaved a sigh of relief: "Yes, I caught one."

Xiao Yusheng hummed: "Any news about Luo Liuli?"

"He didn't say it, but I guessed that Luo Liuli was in Jinxiang City." Shi Jiu's tone suddenly became smug, "Actually, I have a suspect right now, and I asked a friend to inquire about the news."

Xiao Yusheng tilted his head: "That scholar friend of yours?"

Shi Jiu laughed: "How do you know?"

"I only heard you mention this one friend." Xiao Yusheng whispered.

Shi Jiu grabbed a chicken leg: "Hahaha... Indeed, I only have this one friend now. What about you? It seems that you usually don't like talking to others."

Xiao Yusheng was silent for a while, then turned his head to the other side sulkily: "I don't know."

"I don't count?" Shi Jiu's eyes wandered.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yusheng asked in a very serious tone: "Is it okay?"

Shi Jiu felt that Xiao Yusheng was acting weird today: "Of course."

"Thank you." Xiao Yusheng replied in a low voice, slowly biting the chicken strips in his mouth.

"Just now... after I heard from your junior brother that you can break through the fifth rank at any time, I don't seem to be in a good mood." Shi Jiu slowly turned to the topic, "It's not easy to break through the fifth rank. Others always use this standard Will it be tiring if I ask you?"

Xiao Yusheng was stunned, looking at Shi Jiu in surprise.

Shi Jiu was taken aback by Xiao Yusheng: "...what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Yusheng lowered his head and continued to eat the chicken strips, turning his head to look at Shi Jiu from time to time, but he couldn't hide the surprise and curiosity in his eyes, "It's actually not that difficult, if I want to break through, I can actually do it now. "
