It was getting late and the lights were already lit in the inn.

Because of the New Year and the Heart-digging Swordsman, the inn is very deserted. Apart from the two waiters who are busy cleaning up, there are only four people sitting in Ye Xuan’s table.

However, the atmosphere at this table was also a bit strange. One of Ye Xuan and Xia Bing was eating slowly, while the other was eating meat and drinking wine in big mouthfuls, completely ignoring the other two.

The two foolish men and women on the other side also seemed to have not taken Ye Xuan and Xia Bing into consideration, or in other words, they only had themselves in their eyes.

The two of them said boring words and looked at each other, then Pang Yong said, "You are not here to ask me these boring questions, right?"

Hearing Pang Yong's words, a resentful look flashed across Chen Peirong's face, and then she pursed her lips before saying, "I suspect a monster has come to my house!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Bing, who was originally lying on his head to eat, took a meal and looked up at Chen Peirong who was talking strangely.

Unfortunately, Chen Peirong ignored her and said, "A month ago, Brother Sheng went to Yinshan to suppress the sand bandits and rescued a homeless woman from the sand bandits' nest. The woman said that her name was Xiaowei. She said that she was the daughter of Gao Kun, a silk merchant in Suzhou City. Because she was framed by a dog official, her family was destroyed and her family was sold to the hands of the sand bandits... Later, a heart-digging swordsman suddenly appeared in the city, and many people died. Many people suspected that the heart-digging swordsman was a monster, but there was no evidence.

According to. Later, according to Brother Sheng, another mysterious man appeared in the city. This mysterious man fought with the heart-drawing swordsman. The heart-drawing swordsman was killed. Before he died, many people said that it seemed to have turned into a huge lizard... The people in the city thought that the heart-drawing swordsman should be safe if they died. Who knew that the next morning, a case of the people being heart-drawing happened. This happened four days ago. And in these four days, several people were also dug out of their hearts."

Listening to Chen Peirong's words, Pang Yong's eyes flashed, he pondered and digested for a while, and then asked again, "Then why do you suspect that the woman Wang Sheng saved was a demon?"

"Once she accompanied me to my house's rouge noodle shop. At that time, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the city came over and wanted to buy gouache, but she was not satisfied with it. Later, Xiao Wei came out and just said to her softly. The daughter of the wealthy businessman agreed to choose a few gouaches she had chosen before. Another time, when I was cutting clothes, I accidentally cut her hand with scissors. I could be sure that the scissors did scratch her, but the next moment, she raised her hand and said that I didn't cut her, and there were indeed no scars on her hand."

"Three days ago, I invited the most famous Xiangshi Sai Shenxian in the city to the mansion. Sai Shenxian said that he couldn't help me and would help me find a master, but the next morning, Sai Shenxian died in a corner. I sent many letters, and I don't know if you can receive them." Chen Peirong said in a leisurely manner.

"How is it now?" Pang Yong thought for a while and asked again.

Chen Peirong sighed and then said, "Now, she and the people around me are getting better and better, and she is getting closer and closer to Brother Sheng."

"Does anyone know that she is a monster?" Pang Yong asked.

Chen Peirong looked up at Pang Yong, "How dare I talk to others casually? No one believed me!"

"Demon?!" Looking at Chen Peirong's appearance, Pang Yong felt very uncomfortable. He picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Seeing Pang Yong's appearance, Chen Peirong looked at him and said, "Don't you believe me either?"

"Why don't I believe you? When did I believe you?!" Hearing Chen Peirong's words, Pang Yong seemed to be a little excited and couldn't help but raise his voice. Then he saw Chen Peirong's fair face and sighed, "What do you want me to do?"

"Find out the truth!" Chen Peirong looked at Pang Yong quickly expectantly.

Pang Yong blinked his eyes and then said, "What if it is really found out that she is not a demon?"

"Then I will admit it!" A trace of sorrow flashed across Chen Peirong's face, and then bowed to Pang Yong and said, "Please, Brother Yong!"

After a gift, Chen Peirong planned to leave, but at this time Pang Yong suddenly said shyly, "Is there any money?"

"Ah? Oh!" Chen Peirong didn't expect Pang Yong to suddenly ask her for money. She was slightly stunned, and then quickly took out a purse from her arms. When she got it, there was a sound of metal collision. Chen Peirong put the purse on the table in front of Pang Yong and said, "If it's not enough, come to me again!"

After saying that, he took a deep look at Pang Yong, and then turned around and left the inn.

It was not until he saw Chen Peirong leaving the inn that Pang Yong picked up the purse in front of him, slammed the purse in his hand, and then said to Ye Xuan and Xia Bing on the table, "You two, laugh!"

"Brother Pang is so serious!" Ye Xuan waved his hand with a smile and said, "However, I feel quite interesting about what Mrs. Wang said just now."

"Do you know Peirong?!" Pang Yong was slightly stunned when he heard Ye Xuan's words.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, "A month ago, the Wang family army returned from suppressing the sand bandits. He luckily saw General Wang and Mrs. Wang at the city gate."

"Wang Family Army?!" Hearing another strange but familiar word, Pang Yong was stunned again, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face. He picked up the wine next to him and poured himself a bowl, took a sip, and then looked at Ye Xuan again and said, "Brother Ye is talking about the monsters that Pei Rong said. Do you also believe that there are monsters in this world?"

"There are people in this world, why can't there be monsters? What do you think, Miss Xia?" Ye Xuan said, then suddenly turned his head and smiled at Xia Bing beside him.

When Xia Bing heard Ye Xuan suddenly lead the conversation to him, he was slightly stunned, and then raised his head and said, "Well, there are many monsters in the world, some monsters transformed from flowers, plants, trees, some monsters transformed from tigers, snakes, and foxes, some monsters born from ignorance, some monsters born from hatred. Some monsters are good, and some monsters are bad."

Hearing Xia Bing suddenly said a lot of words, Pang Yong was slightly stunned, looked at Xia Bing seriously, and then frowned and said, "Miss Xia has not yet asked me about it..."

"I am the demon subduing man!" Xia Bing blinked his eyes and said seriously.
