I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 80 - 62: No Matter How Dark the ’Sky’ Over Black Mountain Is, Can It Really Suppress the Guardian?!

Chapter 80: Chapter 62: No Matter How Dark the ’Sky’ Over Black Mountain Is, Can It Really Suppress the Guardian?!

Even between the Inner City and the ’Three Rings’ Outer City, a wall more imposing than the one Song Chai Xin entered Black Mountain City through had been erected.

The ones guarding this wall were all robust armored warriors, holding spears.

Their vitality was much more vigorous compared to the Outer City constables.

They belonged to the Black Mountain Military Department, and were under the command of the Eighth Rank Military Commander, Liangjingdu, known as the ’Three Hundred Martial Soldiers’.

Zheng Zizhen quickly walked over, found the armored warrior guarding the Inner City, pointed to the carriage behind him, and whispered a few words.

Then he led Song Chai Xin and his group through without hindrance.

As they walked, he pointed to certain places, introducing them to this young Scarlet Guard:

"My Lord, on the west side of the Inner City lies the Demon Hunting Department."

"The Guardian Mansion is in the center; as for the branch martial arts halls established by the orthodoxy and the small martial arts halls of some prominent families, they are all clustered on the east side in ’Martial Arts Street’.

"I will take you to settle in the Guardian Mansion."

Leading the horse, Zheng Zizhen was introducing while recalling what had happened in the Black Mountain Government Office, momentarily becoming silent:

"Moreover, My Lord, you shouldn’t blame Chen Zhao, the Government Office Head, for not having a backbone."

"I don’t know about others."

"But..."

"The Lord of the Government Office Head, in his youth, was the most righteous person in the entire Black Mountain City."

"Thirteen years ago, it was for the ’Demon Slayer’ event you mentioned, that he lost his leg."

Ruan Xiuxiu frowned slightly:

"Demonic presences causing trouble, hiding in the city, or martial artists causing chaos, why should it be the responsibility of the Government Office Head? Doesn’t the Demon Hunting Department handle it?"

Zheng Zizhen shrugged:

"For us constables, we don’t know about that."

Hmph!

Seeing this constable’s indifferent attitude, Ruan Xiuxiu dismounted and looked toward the direction of the Demon Hunting Department in the west of the city, furrowing her delicate brows.

Even with rain from the sky and a slightly dim night, she couldn’t hold back:

"I want to see how dark is the ’sky’ of Black Mountain City?"

"I will head to the Demon Hunting Department by night and check the archives to see what cases have been handled and what demons have been slain over the years!"

After saying that, she was leading Xie Mansion’s splendid horse, ready to head straight to the Demon Hunting Department, but was stopped by Song Chai Xin:

"Hey, aren’t you going to take your luggage to settle at the Demon Hunting Department, Senior Sister?"

Ruan Xiuxiu turned her head angrily, looking at the smiling Scarlet Guard, even more enraged:

"You heartless little thing, don’t you care if I’m in danger?"

"You clearly know there are many pitfalls in ’Black Mountain’!"

She fiercely nudged the horse with her toe, nearly toppling the sturdy chestnut horse beneath her, its eyes almost teary, giving off an aura akin to an arrogant and spirited noble lady.

Perhaps, this was her true nature.

Only on the mountain, she had to pretend to be obedient.

Just like Xu Nian from Zither Sword Pavilion.

Muttering a curse in her heart.

Song Chai Xin spread his hands, feigning innocence:

"My dear lady, with the skills you carry and the sword on your back, it’s enough to take my life three or four times over."

"Do I still need to worry?"

"Ruan Xiuxiu, this is something you must go through to grow, or how else are you going to surpass your senior sister?"

"Remember to take your luggage."

The Black Mountain Guardian’s face was stern.

Since breaking through the layer of ambiguity.

Their relationship had become strange.

Song Chai Xin didn’t know how to describe it.

He could only make do with it.

Unexpectedly,

The girl, after hearing this, became even more uninhibited, patting the horse and already heading toward the Demon Hunting Department.

Before leaving, she nonchalantly said:

"I’ve already given myself to you, where else would I stay if not with you?"

"Unless you plan to disown me after taking all you can?"

"In that case, I will take my master and pay a visit to the Wutong Prefecture myself!"

"Make sure to bring the luggage obediently for me."

"Hmph!"

Hearing such implicit words of superior intentions.

Zheng Zizhen paused slightly, holding the horse.

Involuntarily, he lowered his head.

Then, sneakily glanced back,

Seeing the young Scarlet Guard full of helpless frustration, a look of regret for not being able to control himself.

Instantly, he felt chills down his spine:

"This Lord..." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Won’t kill me to silence me, right?"

"Can such matters be known to someone like me, an errand-runner?"

Fortunately, minds can’t be read.

Otherwise, if Song Chai Xin knew what Zheng Zizhen was thinking, he might just open his skull and tell him directly...

Things aren’t as he thinks!

(ps: Today’s ten thousand words are done, and there will be another Chapter at midnight.)
