Chapter 152
The king of the city, the king of the city.
"All the credits?" Lu Ren was stunned, and he couldn't believe his ears.
"That's right." Zheng Lao said, "Including the fox demon that has broken through to the Illusionary Demon Realm, it is also counted as your credit."
Lu Ren looked at Lin Jinyan blankly and asked softly, "Why?"
Lin Jinyan said lightly, "I don't want to be too ostentatious. What if the descendants of the fox demon retaliate?"
Although this reason sounds reasonable at first, anyone with a discerning eye knows how ridiculous this decision is.
Killing a big demon in the Illusionary Demon Realm independently is an extraordinary achievement.
Let’s not talk about rewards first, just talk about the title. Such a great achievement fell on Lu Ren, a small four-star demon-suppressing guard, which was enough for him to jump several levels and become a six-star demon-suppressing lieutenant on par with Yuan Shi!
And it’s not just that!
As a six-star lieutenant, Lu Ren’s gold content must be far greater than Yuan Shi’s.
Yuan Shi’s achievements today were accumulated slowly by hunting and killing demons in the early and middle stages of transformation and spiritual communication.
But Lu Ren directly killed a big demon in the Illusionary Demon Realm!
Such a feat, I’m afraid that only the demon-suppressing envoy Wu Gang in the entire branch is capable of doing it!
Once this achievement is confirmed, Lu Ren’s prestige will instantly surpass Yuan Shi and Lin Jinyan, and he will become the number one figure in the branch after Lord Wu.
And once Lord Wu is transferred in the future, the next demon-suppressing envoy will most likely be Lu Ren.
With such a status, I'm afraid that everyone in the entire branch will come to curry favor with him in advance.
Thinking of the follow-up, Lu Ren couldn't understand Lin Jinyan's decision.
But Mr. Zheng was still there, even if he wanted to ask the truth, Lin Jinyan probably wouldn't tell him.
So, he started to smile again.
"Mr. Lin, I spoke to you in a harsh tone before, please don't take it to heart."
He looked like a man who got something for nothing.
"Lu Ren, I've been in the branch for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen Mr. Xiao Lin take such care of others."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, it's a pity that Mr. Xiao Lin already has an engagement, otherwise you two..."
"Ahem~"
Lu Ren hurriedly coughed twice, interrupting Mr. Zheng's next words.
And Lin Jinyan turned around and walked out of the registration office with a calm face.
Lu Ren looked at her thin back, and for some reason his heart was stabbed.
"Lu Ren, take this." Old Zheng handed him a brand new lieutenant badge.
"From today on, you are another six-star lieutenant in our branch besides Lieutenant Yuan."
Lu Ren took his own lieutenant badge, but he was not happy at all.
This credit should have belonged to Lin Jinyan...
She should have planned to accept the arrangement of fate and marry Sikong Luan in three months.
After becoming the daughter-in-law of the Governor's Mansion, she had no connection with the Demon Suppression Division anymore. No matter how many merits she accumulated, she would have no place to use them. She simply did a favor and gave all the credit to him.
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Ren's heart was stirred.
"Old Zheng, you are well-informed. Do you know what kind of person Sikong Luan is?"
Old Zheng guessed what he meant and shook his head with a sigh.
"Sikong Luan is the undisputed number one prodigy in Tianchenzhou. It is said that he is extremely talented, even better than his father, the Governor Sikong Qi.
This man's future achievements are limitless, you can't compete with him."
Lu Ren looked puzzled: "What am I competing with him for?"
"Huh? You asked this because you want to find out Sikong Luan's background and snatch Master Xiaolin back from him?"
"Why should I snatch Lin Jinyan? Apart from her pretty face, she has a bad temper and a cold personality. Any man who marries her will be in trouble." Lu Ren teased casually.
Old Zheng poked him with his hand and kept winking at him, but Lu Ren kept talking.
It was not until a sword intent locked him that Lu Ren turned around belatedly.
Seeing the coldness on Lin Jinyan's face, Lu Ren laughed dryly and said, "Master Lin, why haven't you left yet?"
"Didn't you promise Lin Yongning to attend his banquet?"
"Oh, yes! That's right. Thanks for reminding me. I'll go first."
After Lu Ren finished speaking, he bent down and got under Lin Jinyan's sword, then ran away.
However, Lin Jinyan caught up with him soon.
The two
Both of them have completed the opening of meridians and practiced the "Phantom Step". Their speed can be said to be equal, and neither can get rid of the other.
Lu Ren simply stopped running and stopped to say to her: "Don't follow me, I'm scared."
Lin Jinyan said expressionlessly: "I want to go too, it's on the way."
"Ah?" Lu Ren was a little surprised: "I thought you wouldn't be interested in the banquet."
"I heard that people are more likely to tell the truth when they are drunk. I want to hear what other extraordinary comments you have about me."
"......... I knew you had bad intentions." Lu Ren said with a depressed face: "I just said those words to Mr. Zheng for fun, don't take it seriously."
Lin Jinyan looked at him seriously: "Then which of your words can I take seriously?"
"Uh..."
Lu Ren felt that he was in urgent need of a Lin Yongning to come to the rescue.
At this time, a voice came at the right time.
However, it was not Lin Yongning, but a strange face.
"Mr. Lu, my master invites you to come over tonight for a chat."
"Your master? Who is he?"
Lin Jinyan spoke first: "He is a close confidant of the head of the Liu family, one of the four major families."
Lu Ren looked at the man and frowned deeply: "I don't know your master at all. Why did he invite me?"
"Mr. Lu will know when he goes. I will take my words and leave first."
"What if I don't go?"
"The head of the family just wants to make a friend."
Lu Ren read a deeper meaning from the other person's eyes.
If he doesn't go, he won't be able to make this friend.
If he can't make friends, then he can only be an enemy!
But what he doesn't understand is why the head of the Liu family must look for him?
