Chapter 20

Tianfeng County

“Lord Su, this is the Wind Horse. Also, these forty thousand silver notes belong to you after the Li family’s assets are converted.”

“Thank you.” Beside the magistrate’s office, Su Yang took the silver notes and a Qingfeng horse from the main registrar.

Usually, only the county magistrate could ride this Wind Horse. However, when Su Yang asked to borrow it, Liu Youwei did not refuse and gave it to him enthusiastically.

Su Yang took the horse and wanted to step on it, but the horse still had a temper and would not let him on.

“Lord Su, it has a naughty personality. It’s better to tame it before riding it.” The registrar quickly said.

“Understood. Go ahead and do your work. I can handle it.”

“Yes.”

When the registrar heard this, he retreated. In his opinion, Su Yang’s strength was extraordinary, and a mere horse could naturally be easily tamed.

Although Su Yang’s physical fitness had been strengthened by the medicinal bath and was a little stronger than ordinary people, he could not compare to the ninth-grade demonic beast, the Wind Horse. This made Su Yang feel a little helpless. He did not know how much it would take to create a sword move that could strengthen the body.

He had tried before, but due to the special nature of his body, the fifteen wisps of living beings will not create a sword move that could strengthen his body. However, as long as the will of all living beings was sufficient, such a sword move could be forged.

Also, if he had enough will of all living beings, he could also create a sword kinesis flight technique. That way, he wouldn’t need to travel with his legs.

Unfortunately… The will of all living beings was not enough.

He shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind. Then, he looked at the Breeze Horse.

“Be good…” Su Yang condensed his sword intent and stroked the Wind Horse’s head. The originally unruly Wind Horse’s body suddenly stiffened. Then, it tilted its head intimately and rubbed against Su Yang.

“Haha… Not bad, not bad. It seems that you know your place.”Su Yang was very satisfied. He jumped again and easily got on the Wind Horse.

“Let’s go!”

Su Yang crossed his legs and rode the Breeze Horse out of Pingshan City. He rode his horse on the road and felt the breeze. This feeling was very comfortable, making one feel happy and relaxed.

Halfway through the journey, a funeral procession suddenly appeared. This made Su Yang’s relaxed and happy mood instantly converge. He still had to maintain his seriousness and respect when he saw such a thing.

Su Yang walked around, but when he walked to the side, he realized that the funeral procession was very long, almost a hundred meters long. There were seven coffins being carried. It was indeed a little strange.

Su Yang frowned and rode away. Other than this incident, they did not encounter anything strange on the way.

Six hours later, he arrived at the gate of Tianfeng County.

There were groups of vendors and commoners. It would take a long time to line up. Fortunately, Su Yang could take the internal passage. He showed the order of the commander and entered the city easily.

In this era, no one would make irresponsible remarks. He could enjoy some privileges. It was normal treatment, so why should he avoid suspicion?

After entering Tianfeng County, Su Yang randomly found a restaurant close to the Patrol Department.

Patrol Department was the name of the Patrol Department.

He had fifty thousand taels of silver on him, so he couldn’t spend them all. After he booked the best room to stay in, he gave the waiter a sum of money.

It was noon, so Su Yang simply ordered some food from the shop. There were a lot of people in the shop. Su Yang sat down and looked around before the food arrived.

He had made some discoveries.

He didn’t care about people who were chatting. However, some of them had a steady aura and were tall and straight. It was obvious at a glance that they had practiced martial arts and had even learned something.

There weren’t many people like this. Since this place was so close to the Patrol Department, it was very likely that they were here to participate in the assessment like him.

One of them was noticed by Su Yang. It was definitely an old man who was over fifty years old. His aura was restrained and one could not see the depth of his aura, but the traces of his martial arts practice could not be concealed.

When Su Yang looked at him, the man also noticed him. They locked eyes for a brief moment, and then the man smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. Su Yang returned the gesture with a bow.

He looked around and realized that the old man was probably the oldest among the competitors.

“Looking at his appearance, he should be close to seventy years old, right?”

“Is it because he can’t be idle, or is the position of Patrol Inspector attractive enough…”

However, he did not need to think too much about this matter. He did not care what others chose. He didn’t even care if the patrol accepted the old man.

Moreover, this was not an ordinary world. It was inappropriate to judge a book by its cover. Su Yang warned himself.

After a meal, Su Yang walked out of the restaurant and walked towards the Patrol Department not far away.

He had only taken a few steps when a voice came from beside him.

“Little friend, are you also preparing to join the Patrol Department?”

Su Yang looked back and saw the old man who had just looked at him.

“Yes.”

The old man nodded.” Not bad. I didn’t want to come at first. I couldn’t resist the persuasion of the younger generation. Although I’m a little old, I should still be of some use.”

Su Yang replied, “You must be joking. An elder is a teacher. If we become colleagues in the future, I might need your help.”

The old man smiled.” Let’s go. Hand in the recommendation letter first. Tomorrow is the assessment. Don’t miss it. What position do you plan to take?”

“Speaking of which, I’m not afraid that you’ll laugh at me. Before I came, I was still thinking if I had the chance to be a chief inspector, but now… It was better to do it according to his own strength. The chief inspector would wait until he was strong enough.”Su Yang did not mind communicating with this person.

Su Yang felt very comfortable interacting with this old man. Perhaps some people were born to give others a good impression.

“Alright, there’s nothing bad about a young man with lofty aspirations.”The old man also seemed to be very much to Su Yang’s liking. He did not care about his status when he spoke, and it was more like he was communicating with his peers.

The two of them chatted as they walked forward. The old man knew that Su Yang was the Weapon Master from Pingshan City. Su Yang also knew that the old man’s name was Han Qiu, and he came from the Beihuang Region.

Although the Beihuang Region wasn’t very far from here, riding the Breeze Horse would take half a month. Although it was strange, Su Yang did not ask much.

They walked into the door of the Patrol Department. At this moment, there were only a few officials in charge of registration.

The current Patrol Department did not have any official members. After all, this was a brand-new organization. The assessment had not even begun, and they had not even recruited anyone.

“Name.”

“Su Yang.”

“Assessment position.”

“Four Directions Patrol Inspector.”

The registration officer looked at Su Yang seriously and said, “Do you know that the “Four Directions Patrol Inspector needs to have the strength of the fourth grade?”

Su Yang nodded.

The official nodded. Although his expression remained calm, he was a little surprised in his heart.

Su Yang was too young and looked only around 18. At this age, he was probably a descendant of some family.

After Su Yang finished registering, he went out and Han Qiu walked in.

“Name…”

The official was about to speak, but when he saw who it was, he suddenly stopped.

“Greetings, Lord Han!”

Han Qiu nodded.” What was the assessment that kid registered for?”

“Sir, Four Directions Patrol Inspector.” The official hurriedly replied.

“Okay, I’ll go in first. You go ahead.”

Han Qiu looked in the direction Su Yang had left and thought to herself, “What an interesting kid. What exactly is he cultivating?”

“No crude manliness, no scholarly aura, no ethereal qi, yet it gives me a sense of awe and fear.”

“This Patrol Inspector’s Office… truly intriguing.”
