Chapter 103: Being Targeted by the Imperial Guards

"Changxi, the Jinyiwei have entered the square."

Hua Changxi sorted out the books in the Buddhist beads overnight. There were many magical skills of the demon race in them, including not only "The Powerful Bull Demon Skill", "The Heavenly Dog Swallowing the Moon", "The Divine Rooster Crowing", "The Dragon Soaring Across the Seas" and other magical skills, but also "The Earth Yuan Skill", "The Gold Yuan Skill", "The Supreme Good Skill" and other cultivation skills.

The white-robed monk had collected quite a lot of skills, and before she could finish sorting them out, Pu Cao knocked on her door.

Hua Changxi opened the door and glanced at the sky. The Jinyiwei arrived just as the sky was getting light, which showed that the court was very concerned about what happened last night.

Yes, monks can fight to the death outside, but running to a place where people gather to fight is a bit disruptive to order.

"Where are the Jinyiwei?"

"We are currently investigating the houses where the buildings collapsed. They should be here to question us soon."

Hua Changxi knew that the Jinyiwei had a soul-detecting device, and originally wanted to collect all the defensive arrays, soul-hiding arrays, and soul-gathering arrays in the pharmacy, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary.

The Jinyiwei knew that she was a cultivator, and it was normal for cultivators to have these methods.

Thinking of this, Hua Changxi went to the pharmacy in front. Just as he changed the medicine for several patients who were injured last night, several Jinyiwei strode in.

"Oh, it's you."

As soon as Pang Shaoyu entered the pharmacy, he saw Hua Changxi. He still remembered this young lady who dared to fight with the Jinyiwei. He didn't expect to meet her again today.

"Why are you here?"

Hua Changxi also recognized Pang Shaoyu and sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy on his body. His eyes flashed. The Jinyiwei were indeed very capable. The last time they saw him, he was still a mortal, but now he had become a cultivator.

"Sir, this is the medicine shop I opened."

Pang Shaoyu looked at Hua Changxi, and began to walk around the medicine shop. He lifted the curtain of the back door and looked at the backyard. He smiled and said, "I thought you were working in the errand hall and your family was very poor. I didn't expect your family was quite wealthy. Even a young lady like you could afford such a fortune."

Hua Changxi smiled faintly and didn't explain.

Pang Shaoyu motioned for the people behind him to go into the backyard to check. He then smiled and took a few bottles of pills from the medicine cabinet. He uncorked them one by one and smelled them. He asked in surprise, "Did you make all these pills?"

Hua Changxi nodded.

Pang Shaoyu looked at Hua Changxi again and said, "I didn't expect your alchemy skills to be so amazing. The quality of these pills is very good."

It’s better than what he got from the Jinyiwei.

Hua Changxi smiled and said modestly: "It's just a skill to make a living."

Pang Shaoyu walked up to her and looked at her strangely: "Last time in the errand hall, you said the same thing. I just can't understand it. You are a young lady and you will get married in the future. Why do you need to come out to support the family?"

Hua Changxi smiled at him and said, "Sir, not every young lady needs someone to protect her. I just want to support myself."

Pang Shaoyu disagreed: "You are looking for trouble when there is no trouble."

Hua Changxi suppressed his impatience and continued to smile, "I am willing to endure this kind of suffering."

Pang Shaoyu shook his head: "You look so smart, but I didn't expect you to be stupid."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi's hands itched. He took a deep breath, suppressed his temper, and quickly changed the subject: "Is the official here because of what happened last night?"

Speaking of business, Pang Shaoyu suddenly became serious. He first went to ask several injured people in the pharmacy, and then walked back to Hua Changxi.

"What do you think of what happened last night?"

Hua Changxi said righteously: "The government must catch the man and punish him according to the law. If all the monks run into the city to fight, they will be happy, but the people will suffer."

"Sir, I know that the Jinyiwei has great power. You must make a suggestion to the higher-ups and ask the court to issue a decree strictly prohibiting monks from fighting in the city."

Pang Shaoyu looked at the indignant Hua Changxi and asked with a smile: "Aren't you also a cultivator? If the court really wants to restrict the behavior of cultivators, you will also be affected."

Hua Changxi: "I hate killing innocent people. If I have to kill someone, I'll kill the culprit."

Pang Shaoyu was speechless: "You are quite straightforward."

Hua Changxi raised his chin and said, "I am just so upright."

Pang Shaoyu smiled: "You are really thick-skinned." Then, he stopped smiling and stared at her closely, "Hua Changxi, what happened last night has nothing to do with you, right?"

Hua Changxi looked straight at him: "Of course." At this time, several Jinyiwei who were checking the backyard came out.

Pang Shaoyu saw it and walked over, and one of them immediately whispered to him.

"There is a green bull in the backyard, it is a monster."

After Hua Changxi 'heard' it, his expression changed. The Jinyiwei were indeed not to be underestimated. They discovered the Green Bull Monster as soon as they met.

After listening to his subordinates' report, Pang Shaoyu didn't say anything. He glanced at Hua Changxi and said, "Since we didn't find anything, let's go to the next one."

When he stepped out of the medicine shop, Pang Shaoyu looked back at Hua Changxi: "You treat the wounded for free, you are such a good person."

Hua Changxi remained calm and said, "I can only do my best."

Pang Shaoyu: "I hope you can stay this good forever."

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "I am who I am. I don't live in the hopes of the officials."

Pang Shaoyu exhaled: "Have your family members ever said anything about you? Your mouth is not very pleasant."

Hua Changxi was surprised: "Why should I be likable?" She looked at Pang Shaoyu with incomprehension, as if he had said something unbelievable.

Seeing her like this, Pang Shaoyu had nothing to say and quickly left with his people.

As soon as they left, Hua Changxi's expression changed and he called Pu Cao to his side: "They found the blue bull, and the medicine shop will definitely become the focus of the Jinyiwei's investigation."

When Pu Cao heard this, he looked anxious: "What should we do? Should we let Qingniu go back to the mountains to hide first?"

Hua Changxi shook his head: "The Jinyiwei have already discovered Qingniu. Letting Qingniu leave now seems a bit like trying to cover up one's own faults."

"I am a cultivator, so it's not strange for me to raise a monster. But when the Jinyiwei comes to the medicine shop again, you and Aniu must deal with it well."

Cattail nodded: "Don't worry, we will."

Hua Changxi still had to go to the menial service hall to work. Knowing that cattail was a fire spirit root, she gave her the "Drilling Wood to Make Fire" cultivation method in the Buddhist beads.

Pu Cao excitedly took over the technique: "Chang Xi, I will practice well and try to help you as soon as possible."

Hua Changxi laughed: "You are helping me now. I am going to the Medical Department. I will come here in the next few days. If the Jinyiwei come to cause trouble, just bear with it and wait for me to come back to deal with it."

"Captain, Hua Changxi has gone to the Medical Department for work."

After hearing his subordinates' report, Pang Shaoyu touched his chin and said, "As expected, he is the one who can frighten even my uncle. He has a strong character."

The subordinate asked, "Captain, I think Hua Changxi was most likely responsible for what happened last night."

Pang Shaoyu glanced at him and said, "Don't jump to conclusions. There are more and more cultivators nowadays, and there are many cultivators hiding in the dark and causing trouble."

The subordinate said, "Hua Changxi raised a monster. This is an ironclad fact. Just for this reason, she can be arrested and thrown into prison."

Pang Shaoyu was somewhat speechless: "Can you stop thinking about arresting people? Do you know what Hua Changxi's cultivation level is? Are you sure we can beat her?"

"If she was really the one who caused the riot yesterday, believe it or not, she could have killed all of us quietly."

"You better use your brain, otherwise I will be very tired of having a subordinate like you."

Although Pang Shaoyu scolded his subordinates, he turned around and went to report Yin Jianxiong about Hua Changxi's matter.

After hearing this, Yin Jianxiong told him not to act rashly.

Pang Shaoyu: "Hua Changxi raises a monster. Even if there is a Hua Shiniang behind her, it is reasonable for us to arrest her."

Yin Jianxiong gave Pang Shaoyu the information he had just obtained.

After reading it, Pang Shaoyu widened his eyes and said, "Hua Changxi is really good. He even managed to get close to people from the East Factory."

Yin Jianxiong looked at him and said, "Guo Xuan is a person who will not do anything without profit. He actually took the initiative to befriend Hua Changxi and often bought elixirs from Hua Changxi's medicine shop, which shows that he thinks highly of Hua Changxi."

Pang Shaoyu: "Then just ignore Hua Changxi?"

Yin Jianxiong: "Hua Changxi's raising of monsters was concealed in advance, and now everything is in chaos. The appearance of cultivators has broken many of the original rules. We can't act rashly. Just send someone to secretly keep an eye on Hua Changxi."
