Chapter 39 Week 1

Chapter 39 Monday
Ergou felt horrified after hearing this. He subconsciously touched his body, but he didn't know where the demon seed that Chu Qing mentioned was.
He didn't think Chu Qing would lie to him... He was very skilled in martial arts and could kill people like Tang Xi at will.

In front of him, I am as humble as an ant, so why should I bother to deceive him?
He immediately knelt on the ground with a plop:
"Thank you Master for saving your life."

Owner……

Chu Qing was silent, standing with his hands behind his back:

"Get up, Ergou is not a nice name, change your name."

Ergou stood up and scratched his head:
"Master, I, I never went to a private school since I was a child, so I don't know how to name myself."

I don’t know either!

Chu Qing felt a little embarrassed.

Ergou is obviously a cheap name that is easy to support, but it is not a name that can be used for a lifetime.

"What's your last name?"

Chu Qing asked again.

After Ergou finished crying, he probably felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. The fierceness that had been hovering in his heart disappeared, and instead he showed some simplicity and honesty:
"Master, my last name is Zhou."

Chu Qing thought hard and considered for a long time before saying:

“A new year begins, and everything is new.

"From today on, you will be called Monday."

There was a lot of profoundness in his voice. Ergou was stunned and felt that this man was truly amazing!

There is so much knowledge in naming.

He nodded immediately:

"Okay, Master, I'll take note. From today on, I'll be called Monday."

Chu Qing was slightly relieved when he saw this, and felt that naming was indeed a difficult matter and was not suitable for him.

Fortunately, I managed to cope with it this time, and said immediately:

"I have a few things I need you to do on Monday."

"Master, please give me your instructions."

Zhou Yi had already made up his mind. No matter what Chu Qing asked him to do, he would do it at all costs.

But Chu Qing spoke softly:
"I want you to buy Chen's Oil and Grain Store on Tianwu City North Street."

"what?"

Monday was stunned, scratched his head and said:
"Master...I have no money."

If he had money, how could he live here?

"You don't need to worry about that."

Chu Qing said softly:

"Since you are working for me, of course you need some money.

"Listen to me first... After you take over the oil and grain store, you can run it as usual and take care of the profits and losses yourself.

"After that, every night at midnight you need to go to the alley behind the oil and grain store, where there is a big stone.

“If you turn over the stone and find a letter inside, take it away.

"Then you prepare a large vat in the yard and put a basin on the vat.

“If you have a letter, fill a basin with water and put the letter under it.

“If there is no letter, you can also put a basin, but you don’t need to put water in the basin.

"Did you remember what I said?"

Zhou Yi was silent for a while, and after making sure that he had remembered all of Chu Qing's words, he nodded:

"Yes, Master. I've made note of it."

"it is good."

Chu Qing nodded, took out a handful of gold leaves from his arms, estimated the price at the oil and grain shop, and took out a part of it and gave it to Zhou Yi.

He took out some change and gave it to him.

Zhou Yi looked at the gold leaves and silver and took them without thinking much.

"Okay, just go ahead."

Chu Qing waved his sleeves and let him go.

Zhou Yi was about to leave, but couldn't help looking back: "Master, how should I find you on weekdays?"

Chu Qing shook his head:

"You don't need to look for me. If there is anything, I will look for you."

"Yes."

After Zhou Yi heard this, he stopped asking questions and took another look at Tang Xi's head on the ground before picking it up.

"I'll take my leave, villain."

After saying that, he walked out of the land temple.

Chu Qing waited until he could no longer see her before she jumped up and followed Zhou Yi's footsteps.

There are many inconveniences in going it alone.

According to my current situation, getting orders often depends on luck and cannot last long.

So, he needs to build some power of his own.

But he doesn't need to build a huge organization like the Niejingtai... He just needs "eyes" to see and "mouth" to speak.

Therefore, the people under your command do not need those masters who are good at moving around.

Only by taking root among the people can we understand more.

Monday was an experiment.

If he had not been blinded by money and run away with Chu Qing's gold leaves and silver, then it could be considered that initial trust had been established.

From now on, all profits and losses of the oil and grain store will belong to him.

He can fully support himself with this shop, and he can also marry and have children. He may not become rich, but it is not difficult for him to live a comfortable life.

But if he ran away with the money... Chu Qing would not go looking for him.

Because of the demon seed in his body, Chu Qing did not completely help him get rid of it.

It's not that Chu Qing deliberately held back, but his evil spirit was already deep and could not be broken overnight.

In the Zixia Ruoxu Sutra, there is the Zixia magic skill which can dissolve the true qi of other species. To a certain extent, the demon species is also a different kind of true qi, so it can be dissolved barely.

But it takes time…

Chu Qing did not reveal the matter because he wanted to test his character.

As for whether this was unfair to Zhou Yi, in fact, Chu Qing had already saved his life. If Chu Qing had not appeared, his final fate would have been to be dissected alive and devoured.

And Chu Qing also helped him get revenge.

He was the one who said he would give his life to Chu Qing...

In this situation, if he still ran away with Chu Qing's money, it would be considered a pity that he died.

Chu Qing followed Zhou Yi all the way and saw him first find a deserted place, destroy Tang Xi's face with a dagger, and then walk along the path, as if looking for something.

After a while, a wild dog suddenly jumped out from the bushes. Perhaps Zhou Yi had been bitten by it before, so he shuddered subconsciously when he saw the wild dog, then threw the human head to it.

It was unknown how long the wild dog had been hungry. It ran away with the head in its mouth, as if it was afraid that someone else would snatch it away.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi finally smiled and went to the clothing store, where he changed into a set of decent clothes from head to toe.

After that, I went to the bathhouse again, and when I came out, I had already changed into new clothes.

After doing all this, he went straight to the oil and grain store.

When he came out of the oil and grain store, he went to the City Lord's Mansion together with the original owner of the oil and grain store.

All store transactions like this must be reported to the City Lord's Mansion.

The whole process was not fast. By the evening, the oil and grain store had a new owner.

Only then did Chu Qing leave, and initial trust was temporarily achieved.

As for the rest, we’ll just wait and see.

Chu Qing also has his own things to do.

I have been staying in the inn for a long time. As an assassin, it is best not to live in one place for a long time.

So he bought a small yard as a place to live.

I thought I would have nothing to do in the next few days and just wait for the 'big order' to start.

However, he did not expect that one evening, when he was meditating at home, someone suddenly left in the middle of the night, causing a sound of breaking wind.
