Chapter 197 Resume
At the banquet, everyone praised the delicious food and wine.
Only Sun Yue seemed a little absent-minded.
While savoring the food, it secretly looked at the ginger cat chef.
I always feel that the aura of the other person is somewhat familiar, but I don’t know where it is familiar.
After thinking for a while, it noticed the cat hair under the other's feet, and suddenly it understood.
That's right! Didn't it eat an orange cat hair when it was having a fruit feast at Fuyun Tower in Guangning Prefecture?
Now that I think about it, the orange cat fur is exactly the same as the fur on the other person's body! The scent is exactly the same!
As the toasts flowed, Sun Yue sneaked up to the orange cat chef and asked, "Chef, have you ever been a chef at Fuyunlou in Guangning Mansion?"
The flesh on Chef Cat's face trembled, "Hey, how did Master Sun know?"
So Sun Yue told what happened to him in Fuyun Building that day.
After hearing this, the orange cat immediately thought of what happened that day.
It laughed and said, "I was wondering why there was a monster among the guests at Fuyun Tower that day. I thought it was living among humans like me. For monsters, drinking ordinary wine is just like drinking water, which is boring. Since you are my guest, how could I let you come with high hopes and leave with disappointment? That's why I specially took out my cellar. What you drank that day was the good stuff I brewed myself!"
Hearing this, Sun Yue slapped his thigh.
"I was wondering! I am a monster after all, how can I get drunk after drinking ordinary wine! So you changed the wine?"
The orange cat chef's whiskers trembled, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Sun Yue immediately recounted what happened after that day, pointing to his head, "As soon as I left the city gate, I was blown by the poisonous wind, and all the hair on my head was poisoned!"
The orange cat looked at the other's head. Well, the hair was still there.
It turned to apologize sincerely to Sun Yue, but Sun Yue waved his hand and said, "Oh, you just want to make the diners happy. I don't blame you. What about you? Why do you want to come to Yudu Mountain?"
The orange cat scratched his belly, "Well, ever since the poisonous wind incident, Guangning Prefecture has conducted a city-wide search and expelled many monsters from the city. As for me, I have been wandering along the way, and by chance I ate some magical rice in a restaurant in Meng County. It tasted so good. After some inquiries, I learned that the magical rice came from the foot of Yudu Mountain, and I also learned about the Queen's deeds."
It continued, "Since the Queen's treasure bottle can grow such magical rice, it must be able to grow other delicious ingredients. As for me, a cat, I don't have any big aspirations. I just want to comprehend the way of food. Isn't this why I'm here?"
Is the relationship because of eating?
Looking at the orange cat's round body, Sun Yue couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
After a few interactions, the two demons became friends.
Not long after, a bearded human monk suddenly stood up at the table.
His face was as red as a monkey's butt, his eyes were blurry, and he burped while saying loudly: "Everyone!"
Everyone present immediately looked at him.
"Oh, this fellow Taoist is drunk."
“Hahaha, I’m going to let myself go.”
All beings smiled kindly, ready to listen to what he was going to say.
The monk stood up crookedly, then patted his chest and said loudly: "I, Meng Chuan, a second-rank divine detective of the Demon Suppression Department..."
All the people and monsters' expressions changed immediately.
They sat upright and looked at each other with burning eyes.
But the monk spat out a breath of alcohol, slapped his head, and said in annoyance: "Oh, no, it's the former second-rank divine detective of the Demon Suppression Department. After all, I have been dismissed from office, hehe."
After hearing this, all the people and monsters relaxed.
I knew it, if he was an employee of the Demon Suppression Bureau, how could he be recruited into Yudu Mountain?
The crowd and the monsters began to become curious about each other's experiences.
Especially Bayan, his eyes were so bright.
"I'm happy today!" Meng Chuan squinted his eyes and laughed, then pointed at the people around him, "Do you know why I was dismissed from office?"
The people he pointed at shook their heads.
Meng Chuan said word by word: "That's because they are not righteous!"
From Meng Chuan's confession, the crowd and the monsters also learned about his experience and why he came to Yudu Mountain.
It turned out that he used to be a second-rank detective in the Demon Suppression Department of Shunde Prefecture in Bingzhou. He had been working diligently with the original intention of eliminating demons and defending the way of justice.
But unfortunately, I met a not-so-good boss.
The boss's name is Fang Cen, and he is a third-rank detective.
However, the other party, as a detective from the Demon Suppression Division, colluded with the local sects, became corrupt and turned a blind eye to the evil acts.
Sometimes they are even bribed by the other party to do unjust things.
As the other party's subordinate, he naturally knew it clearly.
Unfortunately, his boss had been keeping his true colors well hidden, so he couldn't find evidence to expose him.
Meng Chuan was indignant, so he secretly reported the matter to the commander.
But the commander took the matter very seriously and put it down lightly.
It was because Fang Cen was the commander's direct descendant, an "elite" cultivated by the Demon Suppression Division since childhood, while he was just a casual cultivator who entered the Demon Suppression Division!
It was also because of his identity as an outsider cultivator that he could have been promoted to a third-rank divine detective based on his achievements and cultivation.
However, he has always been suppressed by his superiors.
The commander also told him to wait a little longer.
He understood it instantly.
Because he had been here for too short a time, he had no qualifications, and was not from an "orthodox" background in the Demon Suppression Division.
So in a fit of anger, he voluntarily resigned from his official position and became a casual cultivator again.
Until that day, he watched helplessly as his former boss and his men entered an inn in the market town, looking aggressively as if he was going to arrest someone.
Not long after, he left the inn in disgrace.
After some inquiries, he learned that his former boss not only left, but also said some words to the owner of Suite No. 1 in the inn, such as "thank you for your advice" and "promise".
After that, he learned from his good friends in the Demon Suppression Division that his superior, Fang Cen, had apologized to the commander.
The other party listed all the crimes he had committed over the years and was eventually sentenced to prison.
The other party's end is really gratifying.
After asking around in the market, he learned that the owner of Room No. 1 was from Yudutshan, and he developed a liking for Yudutshan since then.
Afterwards, he witnessed with his own eyes how Lady Wanbao of Yudu Mountain eradicated the cancer of the Jikui Sect, and also made the remaining three major forces in the area sign an agreement, completely clearing up the local atmosphere.
Isn't this exactly what he wanted to do but didn't do?
He was excited and full of admiration.
Until the Empress gave them the opportunity to join, he came without hesitation.
"My lady, I offer you a toast!"
As he spoke, Meng Chuan drank the spiritual wine in the glass.
After hearing what Meng Chuan said, Chong Fan realized that this person had such a connection with him.
However, it can be considered as picking up a talent.
After hearing about Meng Chuan's experience, others were also deeply moved.
At this time, Xuan Chengzi said, "Come to think of it, I, the old Taoist, also have some similarities with this Taoist friend."
Everyone looked at him.
"Oh? What do you mean by this?"
Xuan Chengzi flicked his whisk and said, "What a coincidence, I, an old Taoist, was also dismissed from the Demon Suppression Department when I was young!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
