"Since you know that this letter is weird, why don't you remind me in advance?"

Xu Yinyin looked at Zhang Bailian with displeasure.

If Zhang Bailian had a quirky and arrogant temper on weekdays, he would definitely not be able to stand being taught by a junior.

But today he was in a disadvantaged position, so he just frowned and said with a little apology:

"It's true that I'm abrupt."

"It's actually not all my father's fault."

Zhang Liao, who was standing aside, explained.

"After we received the letter that day, Master Bai Song took the letter back and studied for a whole night, and then he discovered the sword intent hidden in the letter.

"So we originally planned to let Taibai first read the content of the letter, learn about this matter a little, and then tell you to talk about the sword intent in the letter.

"But I didn't expect that you had discovered the sword intent in the letter just after reading it for the first time."

He then looked at Li Bai and said.

"Actually, I'm a little selfish."

However, at this time, Zhang Bailian shook his head, "After you discover the sword intent in the letter, I could have stopped you from continuing to read, but I really want to use this letter to test Taibai's current cultivation level. To be honest, if Taibai is a little difficult to deal with this sword intent, I will come to you to deal with Xu Shen again, which will only harm you."

"Old Zhang, you and Brother Zhang Liao don't need to explain so much. We have known each other for a day or two."

Li Bai smiled and shook his head.

He could understand Xu Yinyin's concerns, but he still trusted Zhang Bailian and Zhang Liao in front of him very much.

"Sister Yin Yin, don't worry, Mr. Zhang and Brother Zhang are unlikely to be malicious to me."

He then glanced at Xu Yinyin.

Xu Yinyin said "Oh" and then stopped saying a word.

After Li Bai said this, Zhang Bailian and Zhang Liao's faces were obviously much better.

"With your words, our trip is worth it."

Zhang Liao grinned and said happily.

"Then are you satisfied with my performance just now?"

Li Bai smiled and joked.

He was naturally referring to the fact that he had just cracked the sword intent that Jian Kuang left in the letter.

"Satisfied, naturally satisfied!"

Zhang Liao looked excited, obviously he did not expect that Li Bai would completely dismantle the sword intent in such a short time.

"According to Old Man Bai's words, as long as you can fight this sword intent for a while, and with the help of us old men, you will be able to fight Xu Shen."

Zhang Bailian said with a relieved expression.

After saying that, he stood up very seriously, held a scroll in his hand, and then respectfully handed it to Luo Wenchang:

"Because of the trouble of the demon Xu Shen, Bailian Villa, I hereby entrust Qinglian Zhenwu Hall to accept this case and jointly with my Bailian Villa to retreat to this enemy."

Because Luo Wenchang knew from the beginning that Bailian Villa was here to report the case, he was not particularly surprised by Zhang Bailian's actions.

The only thing I was puzzled about was that I just reported the case. Why did Zhang Bailian make such a mobilization? He came to report the case in person and specifically tested Li Bai.

However, when he opened the case file and saw the reward level for the case, his confusion was immediately unraveled.

"Heaven...the sky level reward???"

Luo Wenchang looked at Zhang Bailian with disbelief.

Not only him, except for Li Bai, Xu Yinyin and Liu Haoran and the others on the side were stunned at this moment.

"Because we got Taibai's help last time, we didn't give him anything, so this time we went to Chengdu Zhenwu Pavilion to issue a reward and asked Qinglian Zhenwu Pavilion to handle the case."

Zhang Bailian explained.

"As for why the reward for the Heavenly Level is because the sword man Xu Shen is a wanted criminal in the Tang Dynasty. The case involving him was at least the Earthly Level. In March this year, Chang'an Zhenwu Pavilion received news from him outside the Great Wall and sent three Earthly Level Demon Slaying Masters and eight Xuan-level Demon Slaying Masters to arrest him, but none of them came back. Since then, all of his cases have been Heavenly Level."

After hearing what he said, not only Luo Wenchang and Xu Yinyin, but Li Bai's confusion also diminished a lot.

The system did not provide detailed explanations on the improvement of the task level, so Li Bai was always puzzled about how the Zhenwu Academy gave this reward.

"Suppose Xu Shen killed three earth-level demon-slaying masters and eight mysterious demon-slaying masters in the Zhenwu Pavilion of Chang'an with his own strength, then his cultivation level is no less than that of the heavenly masters of various prefectures."

Li Bai murmured.

"Taibai, we think it may be difficult to take on this case just by relying on our Qinglian Zhenwu Pavilion."

After scanning the file, Luo Wenchang frowned and looked at Li Bai next to him while rolling it up again.

Li Bai did not answer Luo Wenchang's question, but looked at Zhang Bailian:

"Old Zhang, you asked our Qinglian Zhenwu Pavilion to take over this case. Didn't Chengdu Zhenwu Pavilion object to the Chengdu Zhenwu Pavilion?"

Zhang Bailian smiled when he heard this: "There were no casualties in this case, and whether Xu Shen would appear is only our prediction. Therefore, for Zhenwu Hall, this is just an ordinary heavenly reward issued by our Bailian Villa. If Xu Shen does not appear in the end, all the rewards will be paid by us, and there will be no merits of killing demons. Therefore, those who do not understand the inside story will only regard our reward as a joke."

Li Bai recalled the rules for the rewards issued on the Demon Slaying List.

It seems that such privately issued rewards are indeed as Zhang Bailian said, both in terms of release thresholds and rules are very loose. For example, in Bailian Villa, it is actually like spending money to hire a few bodyguards from the Zhenwu Hall. As for whether these bodyguards are used to send them, it is not important to the Zhenwu Hall at all. They are only responsible for collecting money from the people who issued the rewards.

After understanding this, Li Bai turned to Luo Wenchang:

"Brother Luo, you have heard that we just need to send someone to Doushan on September 15th and stay with the people of Bailian Villa for a night."

"Just vigil..."

Luo Wenchang smiled bitterly when he heard this.

He is not the demon-slaying masters who are not aware of the Chengdu Zhenwu. After hearing the few people talk about it for so long, even if he doesn't understand it, he has already realized that this matter is not as simple as a vigil.

But since Li Bai said that, he couldn't say anything, so he nodded:

"Since you think it's okay to have a good idea, then let's go ahead."

Just like every time he took on a case, he finally chose to believe in Li Bai.

Seeing the next case of Qinglian Zhenwu Hall, Zhang Bailian and his son breathed a sigh of relief.
