Chapter 225: Chapter 197 Love of the Man, Affection of the Concubine (A Chapter of Six Thousand Words)_2

Li Yan was grinding his silver teeth, but thankfully, after his pledge, Li Xuan tossed the ’Hanjiaojue’ to him. Li Yan carefully caught it in his hands, and after meticulously wiping it with his sleeve, he tucked it into his sleeve.

At this moment, Li Xuan was looking rather worried at Li Yan’s lower body, "Old bro, are you alright down there? Do you think there might be any lingering issues? Or any kind of psychological trauma? Should we find a place to test it out first, to see if it still works? Or should we get a doctor to take a look? I’m very familiar with Uncle Jiang—"

Li Yan’s face instantly turned green again, recalling the excruciating pain he had just experienced, then he spat out a single word through gritted teeth: "Scram!"

He thought himself lucky to have worn armor today, otherwise, the pearl he had processed earlier could have turned him into a eunuch.

Li Xuan actually ’scrammed’, promptly leaving the Earl Chengyi’s mansion with the ’Fumo Vajra’ and all his belongings, planning not to return home for a month or two.

This was because Li Yan’s gaze, as if he was about to devour him at any moment, was absolutely chilling. Li Xuan also worried that if something truly went wrong with his brother’s thing, Su Zhaojun and his mother would demand recompense. The matter involved the important task of succession in the Earl Chengyi’s mansion, and perhaps his father would draw his sword to slay him.

When Li Xuan arrived at the Zhuque Hall riding his Earth Dragon, he discovered that many of the Liudao Division personnel entering and exiting the building all respectfully bowed their hands to him.

"We greet the Six Paths Bureau Colonel, sir!"

"Congratulations sir, from today onward, you are promoted to slay demons Colonel."

"Six Paths Bureau Colonel sir, may you be well!"

"Sir, you are too diligent, isn’t your vacation not over yet? You’re already on duty?"

"We’ve heard about the Colonel’s valor at the Beigu Mountain. You really are worthy of being our hero."

Initially, Li Xuan was very modest and steady, but when he walked into the courtyard of Mingyou City, his face was flushed, and he even seemed to be floating as he walked.

However, he noticed that inside and outside the Zhuque Hall, many pairs of people were practicing martial arts. There were male and female pairs, pairs of two women, and pairs of men, all seemingly practicing a combat technique of combined strikes.

Then, Li Xuan unexpectedly found that Peng Fulai and Zhang Taishan had arrived at Zhuque Hall half a day ahead of time.

"This is quite a rarity." Li Xuan remarked in admiration, "You two have always been the kind to never arrive early. Did the sun rise from the west today? Why are you here so early? Also, why do both of you look so down? What happened? Aren’t you both happy about your promotions?"

The rewards from the Liudao Division were excellent this time, and both Zhang and Peng were indeed promoted. Now they have been promoted to the official position of ’Fumo Xunjian’ and are entitled to the salary of ’Fumo Youjiao’.

It was just that they didn’t have the experience or the ability to meet the promotion requirements, but their merits were sufficient, even exceeding the requirements. From then on, they could enjoy all the benefits of the ’Fumo Youjiao’, and could be promoted immediately once their abilities and experience reached a certain level in the future.

In addition to this, they were both rewarded with a medium-grade magical instrument and multiple merits.

According to the reward and punishment rules of the Liudao Division, this was quite a preferential treatment. After all, both of them didn’t contribute much at Beigu Mountain. They only became ’merit holders’ because Li Xuan mentioned them in his report.

"Don’t even talk about it!" Peng Fulai sighed listlessly, "We were taken to various matchmaking sessions for three full days, you would feel the same way if it happened to you."

Zhang Yue, on the other hand, had half of his body sprawled on the table, looking exhausted, "I’d rather spend all of my time practising martial arts. This is even more tiring than practicing Xingtian’s Overbearing War Secret a hundred times."

Only then did Li Xuan remember something strange; his mother didn’t force him to attend any matchmaking sessions during these three days. How peculiar.

Could this be because Li Yan and Su Zhaojun were injured, hence why she forgot about the matchmaking?

"Six Paths Bureau Colonel." At this moment, Yue Qianqian came to his side, looking very worried as she asked him quietly, "Sir, are you okay now? I mean, is your life expectancy... still only a month?"

"Now it is a month and three days." Li Xuan lied without blinking an eye, then looked at Yue Qianqian, pretending to be optimistic, "Don’t worry, everything will get better."

Yue Qianqian bit her silver teeth, her tears nearly falling. Suddenly, she took out a pill bottle from her sleeve and stuffed it into Li Xuan’s hand, "This is the Chunyang Elixir I bought. It can enhance Yuan Qi and dispel Yinsha."

Li Xuan felt guilty again, but soon thought about the fact that the month of life he lost was indeed due to Yue Qianqian, so he accepted the pill bottle with peace of mind. At the same time, he sighed, "Don’t cry! Others might think I’ve wronged you. I can’t stand to see a girl in pain, you know. Qianqian, do you know that every tear you shed will make me live a day less, and it strikes me to the core."

Just then, Jiang Hanyun and Luo Yan entered the room together. Upon hearing Li Xuan’s words, the former’s expression darkened instantly.

Especially Yue Qianqian. Her face turned beet red and she seemed too shy to hold up her head.

※※※※

"Xiaowei!" At this moment, Peng Fulai, Zhang Yue, and the others have noticed the arrival of Jiang Hanyun and Luo Yan and immediately stood up to pay their respects.

Jiang Hanyun briefly glanced at Li Xuan before retracting her gaze, "You all should have heard, right? The chief planned to create a new team based on your group here in Mingyou City. However, due to staff shortage in the hall, the headquarters has decided to initially give you thirty people to start building this team."
