She only needed to wait for 12 hours.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Fu Shuangni did not rest for an entire night because when she came out of the Immortal cultivation simulation, her tired spirit became energetic, as if she did not have the slightest fatigue.
During the day.
The county office could be said to be very lively. All the small officials and bailiffs returned to the county office.
This was because when they woke up early in the morning, they found out that some important figures from the provincial government had come to Qinghe County!
Even the county magistrate had to be respectful to those officials from the provincial government!
Hiss!
If they did not hurry to the county office to report, they might just need a word from the officials, and these small officials and bailiffs would have to pack up their shops and leave!
So, in order to keep their jobs, in order to have a good image in front of the officials from the Prefecture Capital.
They swept away their past procrastination and decadence. They were all eager to show themselves.
All of them were full of energy!
Many people were fantasizing in their hearts that if they performed extremely well in front of the officials… Would they be able to gain the recognition of the officials?
At that time, even if they did not need the officials to reward them, just a word of praise from the officials would be enough for them, the county officials, and the bailiffs, to rise to the top!
One step to the sky!
The thoughts of these small officials and bailiffs were almost written on their heads, how could Fu Shuangni not see it?
However, it was good.
Although their enthusiasm was very utilitarian, it was better than letting them slack off.
The small officials and bailiffs in Qinghe County were mostly ordinary people. At most, they knew some martial arts and had some inner strength.
It was impossible to get these people to investigate the demon cultivators in the Sacred Heart Palace.
That would be pushing them into the fire pit. No matter how many lives were lost, it would not be enough.
Hence, in Fu Shuangni’s eyes, the people in the county could only treat them like errands.
She ordered half of the bailiffs to guard the entrance of Qinghe County.
Those who entered and those who left needed to be registered.
At the same time, she even personally went to Old Liu’s medicine shop.
The demon cultivators in Qinghe County gave themselves away here, so she hoped to find some other clues.
“Madam.” Bi Xu did not know Fu Shuangni’s true identity. At this moment, he could only call Fu Shuangni ‘Madam’.
He said respectfully, “This is the place where the incident happened. That day, the demon cultivator of Sacred Heart Hall killed a shop assistant in the medicine shop.”
“When the people of the county heard that there was a murder case here, they sent a large number of people to investigate. One of them was a coroner from the county. That coroner was a demon cultivator in disguise.”
“At that time, we did not find anything wrong with him. His ability to conceal his aura was very good.”
“Until…”
Bi Xu hesitated when he said this, because what happened after that involved that Cultivator Bai.
Bi Xu respected Bai Yi very much, because if was not for Bai Yi, the county office would have long been penetrated into a sieve by the demon cultivators!
If it was not for Bai Yi’s timely help, Qinghe County would have been reduced to a demon’s den!
He, as a Guest Minister of Qinghe County, will certainly be condemned by the Imperial Court. Or worse, he may even be executed!
This back and forth between cause and effect…
It was not too much to say that Bai Yi was his savior!
“Until what?”
When Fu Shuangni heard this, she looked at Bi Xu and suddenly remembered something.
She asked, “Is it you and Zhixian, the man you spoke of last night? That Cultivator Bai, who saved Qinghe County from disaster?”
Bi Xu did not expect Fu Shuangni to expose the truth in one sentence, and he could not help but smile bitterly in his heart.
At this time, he could only be honest and tell them everything that happened.
For example, Bai Yi was invited to the crime scene, and when he returned, he was assassinated by the demon cultivators.
In the end, he killed all the demon cultivators, and the commotion attracted the bailiffs of the county office.
Then, the county office asked Bai Yi to help them.
Bai Yi decided to help them.
Of course, Bi Xu did not mention some things that were slightly disadvantageous to them.
In the end, he smiled bitterly and said, “Madam, that’s how it is. It was basically Cultivator Bai who broke the demon cultivators’ schemes and plots.”
“So, this Cultivator Bai knows more about the demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace than you guys?”
Fu Shuangni thought for a while and asked again, “Where does he live?”
In the morning.
Under the escort of a bunch of county bailiffs, Fu Shuangni came to Bai Yi’s residence.
Yes, she came.
“Cultivator Bai, who foiled the demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace, does he live in this place?”
Fu Shuangni looked at the house in front of her and asked in surprise.
Behind her, Bi Xu replied, “Madam, Cultivator Bai is different from other Immortal cultivators. He doesn’t care about how noble his residence is, nor does he care about so-called fame and fortune.”
“I see.”
Fu Shuangni nodded. In her mind, the appearance of an accomplished itinerant cultivator appeared.
He had white hair, his clothes were simple, and his face was amiable.
His strength was not ordinary.
When she knocked on the door of the house and the ‘Cultivator Bai’ she was looking forward to walked out, the image in Fu Shuangni’s mind was instantly destroyed.
