Chapter 49: Gao Wusheng's Test (Seeking Readers)

"There's a Werebear Demon causing trouble within Black Goose City!"

"No wonder! Recently, there have been disappearances in the city, and it seems they were eaten by the Werebear!"

"Where did you get this news?"

"This morning at dawn, someone carrying a Werebear's head walked straight towards the government office in the north of the city."

"That head was almost as big as half my body! It must weigh several hundred pounds!"

"So terrifying! Who is this hero who slayed the demon?"

"Tsk, we're not too sure about that, but he seemed to resemble the executioner at the execution ground."

". . ."

The rumor spread faster than Qin Zheng had anticipated.

By the time he reached the northern government office, the gossip had already swept through Black Goose City like a tornado.

After all, it involved a demon, a rare sight in Black Goose City, and few had ever seen one.

As Qin Zheng approached the office, Liu Shiyeh was already waiting there, his face beaming with a smile.

"Young Hero Qin, you're here."

Liu Shiyeh maintained his usual amiable demeanor.

Qin Zheng nodded and then tossed the massive Werebear's head he held in his hand towards the office.

"The Impermanence Monk from the Temple of Rebirth is a man-eating demi-demon, and those monks he brought are all scoundrels."

As Qin Zheng spoke, he kept his eyes on Liu Shiyeh.

Liu Shiyeh smiled and nodded, then extended his thumb in admiration, "Young Hero Qin, you've rid the people of a menace. Truly a young hero!"

"Please follow me, Young Hero. High County Magistrate has been waiting in the office for you."

Qin Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, striding into the office.

The office's response was not as intense as he had anticipated; instead, it seemed rather calm.

But this was not a good sign! Qin Zheng's heart was on guard, his spiritual awareness heightened, sensing the surroundings at every moment.

Led by Liu Shiyeh, they once again headed for the rear garden deep within the office.

But at this early hour, there were no singing birds, dancing ladies, long dresses, fine wine, or gourmet food.

In the garden, by a rockery and flowing water, stood an octagonal pavilion.

Gao Wusheng, slightly plump, sat in the pavilion, boiling a kettle of hot water, seemingly preparing to brew tea.

As Qin Zheng followed Liu Shiyeh's lead and arrived, Gao Wusheng immediately stood up and welcomed him with a smile, "You're here? Please, take a seat!"

Qin Zheng nodded and entered the pavilion, sitting across from Gao Wusheng.

"It's still early, and drinking alcohol now might be a bit too much. Let's have tea instead."

Gao Wusheng lifted the kettle of hot water and then prepared tea in front of him. He poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng nodded slightly but did not lift the teacup to drink. Instead, he asked, "Regarding the demi-demon Impermanence Monk, what does the High County Magistrate intend to do?"

He couldn't stay uninvolved in this matter, and he wanted to see how the High County Magistrate would handle it.

"No need to rush."

Gao Wusheng waved his hand and spoke casually, "If I recall correctly, Young Hero Qin, you're a native of Black Goose City, right?"

"Ever since Black Goose City was designated as one of Qingzhou's execution grounds by the Imperial Court, your Qin family has served as executioners for generations."

"Before that, you were migrants from Yanzhou, with no notable background, but still considered honorable."

As he spoke, he nodded in affirmation.

Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, unaffected by Gao Wusheng's words.

The information conveyed in Gao Wusheng's words was merely a display of power.

He had thoroughly investigated everything about his own body.

At the same time, he was also reminding himself that he was just an ordinary person without any background.

"High County Magistrate, if you have something to say, just say it directly?"

Qin Zheng spoke up, interrupting the other party's roundabout probing.

Upon hearing this, Gao Wusheng gave a slight smile and then continued, "Black Goose City is located on the edge of Qingzhou, and it's also on the northwestern edge of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"If you continue westward from here for a hundred li, you'll encounter the Must Not Exist Mountain Range, filled with endless towering peaks."

"Within it, there are countless ferocious wolves and wild beasts, as well as savage great demons that devour humans and gnaw on their bones."

"What I want to tell you is that the black bear demi-demon you killed is the son of a human clan grandmaster!"

"His mother is a shapeshifting great demon within the Must Not Exist Mountain Range, an existence even more powerful than a grandmaster!"

"Whether it's the human clan grandmaster or the shapeshifting great demon, neither will let you off for killing their son."

"And you, alone and without any background, even with some martial talent, how can you possibly escape their pursuit and killing?"

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he heard this, and he spoke up, "What do you mean by that, High County Magistrate?"

Gao Wusheng smiled faintly and then took out a delicate small box from his bosom.

After opening the box, what caught the eye was a blood-red pill emitting a strong bloody odor.

"This Great Restoration Pill is refined from various precious medicinal herbs, and each one is worth a hundred gold outside."

"Ordinary people who consume it will have their internal essence and blood surging, an inexhaustible and inexplicable source. They will quickly break through the four major gates of the first realm of martial arts."

"Young Master Qin, with your talent, after taking this Great Restoration Pill, I believe you'll soon break through the realm and ascend to the grandmaster level!"

"Moreover, after that, you'll become my, Gao Wusheng's, person."

"The name of Quanyang Gao is known throughout the world, and there's no one who hasn't heard of it."

"That human clan grandmaster and the shapeshifting great demon, no matter how furious they are, won't dare to do anything to you!"

"This is a deal that, no matter what, Young Master Qin won't lose out on. This is my answer, what do you think?"

Indeed, worthy of the Quanyang Gao family!

Such a Great Restoration Pill worth a hundred gold is offered so casually to recruit someone.

It's like the Inner Martial Arts 'Five Organs Cultivation Technique' he bestowed upon Zhang Xiowen.

No matter how rare and difficult to obtain something is outside, in the eyes of the Quanyang Gao family, it seems like an extremely ordinary item.

Qin Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart and stood up at the same time.

He shook his head and said, "I'm just a struggling commoner, I dare not claim the name of the Quanyang Gao family."

As expected, just as Xu Weisan had predicted.

This person didn't mention the bandit leader Zhang Xiowen at all but wanted to make him his subordinate directly.

And that Great Restoration Pill wasn't a real Great Restoration Pill but a Brain Devouring Pill containing Gu worms!

If he agreed, his life would truly become a puppet, controlled and enslaved by them.

This was something Qin Zheng would never agree to, no matter what!

Gao Wusheng's expression and posture remained unchanged as he slowly said, "You should think it through. Without the protection of the Quanyang Gao family, how will you escape this calamity?"

"There's no need for the High County Magistrate to worry about it!"

Qin Zheng turned and left without any hesitation.

After Qin Zheng's figure disappeared.

Liu Shiyeh slowly walked up.

"Sir?"

His tone carried a hint of probing.

"Spread his reputation for slaying demons within the city even further."

"After all, he's just a frog in a well, a lowly and insignificant person with a life as thin as paper!"

Gao Wusheng looked in the direction Qin Zheng had left, scoffed, and said coldly.
