Demon Sect Leader (16 – End)

Yan Jing Ze is a bit reluctant to get up.

He was woken up in the middle of the night last night, so he should get up late.

The most important thing is that he has already been honest with Yan Xiu, and now he wants to be cozy and talk to Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu also didn't want to get up.

The master was in his bed, and he didn't want to do anything else.

At this moment, he is happily going through the memory of everything.

He always felt that his master would withdraw his love for himself sooner or later. Although many things he experienced with his master were very sweet, he couldn't help panicking in his heart, but now he looks back and thinks…

Those are all fond memories of him and his master!

The master gave him medicine the first time they did it, and then pretended that he had no internal force, let him be the sect leader, and then taught him various things, and always kissed him…

After the master lost his memory, he kept saying that he liked him.

Thinking about it, Yan Xiu's heart is hot.

"Ah Xiu, what are you thinking about?" Yan Jing Ze asked.

"Thinking about the past," Yan Xiu said.

"Such as?"

"Master said a lot of sweet words to me when you lost your memory…"

"Those are not sweet words, those are my heartfelt words." Yan Jing Ze kissed him: "By the way, don't call me Master anymore, not even in your heart, it will make me very sad."

Yan Xiu was a little at a loss.

Yan Jing Ze said: "I treat you as a lover, as a person to spend a lifetime together, you treat me as a Master, this is not fair to me."

Yan Xiu was taken aback.

This would… be unfair?

Also, Jing Ze specially asked him to pretend to be the leader just to make them more equal.

Under such circumstances, he is still called him "Master", which really makes Jing Ze unhappy.

Therefore, he should not call him master again no matter whether it is in his mouth or in his heart.

Jing Ze…Yan Xiu repeated the name several times in his heart, only to think that the name was sweet.

"Jing Ze…" Yan Xiu looked at Yan Jing Ze again, and was about to say something when his stomach suddenly "grumbled".

Yan Xiu: "…" It's noon now, and he is very hungry…

"Let's get up and go eat." Yan Jing Ze stood up and got up, quickly put on his clothes, took the clothes to Yan Xiu, and asked with a smile: "Do you want me to help you put it on?"

"I'll do it myself!" Yan Xiu took the clothes and regretted a little bit. If Jing Ze would help him wear them… Cough!

Yan Xiu put on his own clothes, while Yan Jing Ze took this opportunity to put away the sheets.

Before, he pretended to have lost his martial arts and had no internal force. Every day, he could only watch Yan Xiu quickly clean up the sheets and wash the sheets… Now he should do it.

"Jing Ze, I'll do it." Yan Xiu hurriedly stopped.

"I'll do it and I'll wash it later, too," Yan Jing Ze said.

"How can this work?" Yan Xiu said. His family's Jing Ze…never washed the sheets before, right?

"Why not?" Yan Jing Ze said: "Otherwise, we could take turns, one day for you and one day for me? Okay, that's it!"

Like Yan Xiu, he didn't want to find someone to help them wash the sheets, in that case… they would take turns washing them.

Anyway, they usually have nothing else to do.

Yan Jing Ze has decided, and Yan Xiu can't help it. At this time, Yan Jing Ze has already taken him out of the door: "Come, let's go eat something first."

As soon as the two walked out of the room, two shadow guards turned over from the roof: "Young Master Jing!"

"Is there anything to eat?" Yan Jing Ze asked.

"Yes! I'll go get it!" the two shadow guards said together, but before they went to the kitchen to fetch food, other shadow guards came back with something to eat: "Master Jing, there are meat buns, bean curd, and congee in the kitchen today!"

"I'll eat bean curd and steamed buns," Yan Jing Ze chose two and looked at Yan Xiu again.

Yan Xiu said: "I'll eat steamed buns and congee."

The shadow guards used to put in shredded chicken and some vegetables in the congee, which was especially delicious!

Most importantly, this is what the master has cooked for them before! Like other shadow guards, Yan Xiu has a true love for chicken congee.

The shadow guards put the congee and buns in front of Yan Xiu, and gave Yan Xiu a jealous look.

Yan Xiu used to be a shadow guard just like them, but he was favored by the master… However, even though they are jealous, they are still convinced of Yan Xiu.

They are used to the fact that the master likes Yan Xiu.

Thinking of this, the shadow guards saw Yan Xiu's neckline, revealing his neck that was stamped with many marks.

Shadow guards: "..." They are still not used to it! They want to hit Yan Xiu!

Yan Jing Ze saw this scene and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Why is Yan Xiu so cute?

Yan Jing Ze had eaten "breakfast" and went to see those martial artists.

It was actually past noon now, and those martial artists were tired and hungry, with dry mouth and tongue.

Some of them were injured yesterday, and now they are in a bad condition.

"Amitabha Buddha." Shaolin Abbot said: "Donor, we are hungry, our mouths are dry, and we want to go to the toilet. Can the donor be accommodating?"

"Yes." Yan Jing Ze said. He let the shadow guards unlock the acupuncture points and untie them, and asked the shadow guards to buy some steamed buns for them to eat. He let these martial artists go back to him after they finished tending to themselves.

As for himself, he planned to go and wash the sheets first.

After Zhu Lianying was loosened, he went to the toilet first.

The steamed buns that Yan Jing Ze had promised had not yet arrived, and he was not in a hurry to eat steamed buns… After discussing with the Abbot Shaolin and a few other highly respected people in the martial arts, he decided to go to Yan Jing Ze first.

A total of more than two hundred people were arrested.

Although Yan Jing Ze has washed himself out, Zhu Lianying still has no good feelings about Yan Jing Ze, but for the sake of everyone's lives, he still has to bow his head.

Yan Jing Ze said that these people could go to him, and the shadow guards did not stop them.

Then… Zhu Lianying had just entered the yard where Yan Jing Ze lived, and saw Yan Jing Ze rolled up his sleeves and was at the well… washing the sheets?

Not just the sheets, he also washed the clothes.

At this moment, he took the two ends of the washed bed sheet and twisted it forcefully. The bed sheet was twisted together, and a lot of water fell out, after that, he spread the bed sheet and used internal force…

The steam rose above the sheets, he directly used his own internal force to dry the bed sheet.

This person's internal force is really unfathomable.

And the most shocking thing is that he actually used his internal force to do this kind of thing…

Zhu Lianying and the Shaolin Abbot looked at the dry bed sheet and were silent.

It's not that they haven't washed the sheets and clothes before, but since they became famous, they have never done these things again. This Demon Sect Leader is really different.

"Have you eaten so soon?" Yan Jing Ze looked at these people curiously.

Among these people, the one who hated the Demon Sect deeply, and the person who always targeted the Left Guardian, at first tried to say a few words against Yan Jingze, but when he saw the sheets that Yan Jing Ze had already dried, he said nothing.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. He doesn't want to die, let alone drag other people to be buried with him.

"We haven't eaten yet. I want to discuss the ransom with the sect leader first," Zhu Lianying said.

"That's fine. I have already set the ransom. You, the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, is 10,000 taels. The Abbot and other top masters are 5,000 taels each, and the rest are unified at 2,000 taels each," Yan Jing Ze said.

"Isn't this too much?" Zhu Lianying was surprised.

Many martial arts practitioners are actually very poor, at least they can't pay a ransom of two thousand taels.

"You should have earned a lot of money for attacking the Demon Sect?" Yan Jing Ze looked at him with a smile.

Zhu Lianying, Shaolin Abbot, and others: "…" They did get a lot of money before when they attacked the Demon Sect, but it was not too much.

For one thing, the Demon Sect Leader in front of him has already left with the biggest treasure of the Demon Sect, and secondly… There are also a lot of escapees in the Demon Sect who ran away with the money.

Coupled with the casualties of the martial arts people who went to attack the Demon Sect at that time, they compensated a lot of money, and the large groups of people were dispatched for food, clothing, housing and transportation… The final gain was far less than they thought.

That's right, gain.

Martial arts people attacked the Demon Sect, in addition to having hatred with the Demon Sect, but also because they can get money by doing so… If it weren't for this, there would definitely not be so many people fighting for their lives.

Now Yan Jing Ze needs so much ransom…the money they finally "earned" is at least half gone.

"Who told you guys to come and besiege me without getting a clear picture of the situation, you always have to pay a price," Yan Jing Ze said while gently steaming his and Yan Xiu's clothes using internal force: "I opened a restaurant in this Liangzhou Prefecture without hiding, surely because there is strength… Didn't you check it out more?"

Zhu Lianying: "…" He thought that the Demon Sect Leader didn't understand the outside world, so he did so.

"In short, the ransom can't be less… You should all have money, right? I suggest you pool together, first redeem a few people to get the money, and then redeem the rest," Yan Jing Ze said.

It can really only be like this…

Zhu Lianying and the others left, took a few steps, and then turned around.

They saw the shadow guard who pretended to be the Demon Sect Leader holding the dried sheets, looking at them with an unkind gaze.

Turning their heads quickly, they sped up their pace unanimously.

Yan Xiu watched them leave, then withdrew his gaze, slightly depressed.

Jing Ze is really too kind.

However, there must be a reason for Jing Ze to do this. As for him… Yan Xiu looked at the few shadow guards who came over: "The Master wants to wash my clothes and I can't even stop him."

Those shadow guards: "…" They really want to unite together to beat Yan Xiu!

However, as soon as they had this idea in their hearts, they saw Yan Jing Ze looked at them: "By the way… Before I lost my memory, I assigned you homework. Have you finished it? The content you learned before is not forgotten, right?"

These shadow guards: "…" It's over!

Some of them love learning, but most of them don't like to read. Since the master lost his memory, they haven't studied properly…

The few shadow guards who came over ran away quickly.

Yan Xiu was also dumbfounded for a while, he also forgot about homework!

"I remember… you didn't read books or practice calligraphy at all these days?" Yan Jing Ze smiled and looked at Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu: "…"

Yan Jing Ze said: "You are like this, but you have to be punished, tonight…"

Yan Jing Ze originally wanted to say that Yan Xiu hadn't finished his homework and would be tossed by him in the evening, but he changed his words temporarily: "If the homework is not finished, I won't touch you."

Yan Xiu was very enthusiastic, and he probably wanted to be tossed by him, so the punishment had to be reversed.

As expected, Yan Xiu's figure flashed and ran away, should be to make up for the homework.

Yan Jing Ze laughed again.

Those martial artists really had a lot of money. It didn't take long for Zhu Lianying and others to come back and handed in thirty thousand taels of silver. Then he, the Shaolin Abbot, and a few other highly respected people were able to leave here and go to collect money.

Walking out of Yan Jing Ze's residence, Zhu Lianying was in a trance.

He had always been very confident and felt that he was strong, but now… he suddenly felt that he was nothing.

Forget it, it's useless to think about this now, the most urgent thing is to find a way to get money back and redeem those who have been captured.

Zhu Lianying, the Shaolin Abbot, and others are extremely prestigious in the righteous martial arts sects, but when they told the righteous martial arts people outside about what happened, the people outside still didn't believe it.

Some people even came to Liangzhou and wanted to give trouble to Yan Jing Ze.

Yan Jing Ze captured the man without hesitation, locked him up and continued to demand the ransom.

He doesn't dislike having a lot of money—the shadow guards under his hands still have to get married and marry a wife!

For the ransom, it lasted for two months before Yan Jing Ze finally collected it, and then Zhu Lianying disappeared from Liangzhou with the martial arts people.

Together with the disappearance of the Black Dragon Gang.

No, the Black Dragon Gang disappeared earlier. After learning that the person they offended was the Demon Sect Leader, the Black Dragon Gang's Leader ran away with the people under his hands overnight.

As far as Yan Jing Ze's restaurant is concerned, the business is better… This restaurant is not only fine after offending the Black Dragon Gang, but also allows the Black Dragon Gang to surrender. There must be a background. The people of Liangzhou Prefecture feel much more at ease when they eat in such a restaurant with a strong background!

The lives of Yan Jing Ze and Yan Xiu finally returned to peace.

Since there is no more memory loss, Yan Jing Ze continues to teach the shadow guards to read and also teach them martial arts by the way.

After reading the cheat books and seeing the physical conditions of these shadow guards, he can always find the martial arts most suitable for them to practice. In addition, Yan Jing Ze also gave these shadow guards a name.

At the insistence of the shadow guards, they all took "Yan" as their surname, followed by the word "Ying". They were all called "Yan Ying Something". For example, Ying Er (shadow two), decided to call himself Yan Ying Er, Shadow Twelve named himself, Yan Yingfeng (shadow wind).

The lives of the shadow guards are slowly getting on track.

At first, the ultimate goal of almost all shadow guards was to be favored by Yan Jing Ze like Yan Xiu, but under the guidance of Yan Jing Ze, first, an old shadow guard who was responsible for training the shadow guards found a widow to marry. Slowly, other shadow guards also found their other half.

Some of them find women and have biological children to start a family. Some shadow guards live together with other shadow guards, and there's quite a lot of them.

They have experienced many things, and it is not easy to open their hearts to outsiders and find their own partner.

Of course, Yan Jing Ze thinks this has something to do with himself.

Even if they already know how normal people live, these shadow guards still respect him very much and like to learn from him. When he is with Yan Xiu, they also choose the man next to them.

Sometimes he and Yan Xiu do something, they will follow and learn how to do it, it really makes him feel angry and amused.

But this is not bad, at least everyone is having a good time.

In the following years, in addition to opening restaurants, Yan Jing Ze opened some other shops. These shops will not need the shadow guards to work, and instead hired ordinary people to work.

In addition, Yan Jing Ze also took in some orphans and raised them up.

In this era, people generally give birth to many children, and they throw them away if they can't support them.

At first, Yan Jing Ze saw an abandoned baby outside and had it brought home to raise. Many shadow guards on his side were with other shadow guards. It's good to raise a child to give them a support in the future and take care of them when they are old.

As a result, the shadow guards around him liked the child very much, even Yan Xiu liked it. So, Yan Jing Ze started to adopt orphans, or bought some children sold by their parents to raise them home.

These people were raised as apprentices and taught them martial arts or other skills to earn a living. As time went on, slowly, they actually formed a… sect?

And those shadow guards, in the process of raising children, become more and more like individuals. The psychological trauma they suffered before has been repaired a lot after accompanying those children to slowly grow up.

During this period, there are actually some remnants of the Demon Sect who come to the door, or some people who have committed crimes in the martial arts world, and want to come to take refuge in the same way as before.

But these people were all arrested by Yan Jing.

Some were handed over to the government, some were sold to martial arts people who wanted to capture them and get revenge. Some with heinous crimes that couldn't be sold were killed directly. Some with minor crimes were left to work for them to atone for their sins.

Gradually, no one would come to take refuge in them anymore, and even those martial arts people who had committed a crime would walk around Liangzhou Prefecture.

Because they were too peaceful, the martial arts sects didn't want to mention them. Afterwards, not many people knew about the existence of Yan Jing Ze, the Demon Sect Leader.

But on the martial arts world, one thing is recognized—don't go to Liangzhou Prefecture!

When many young children of many sects go down the mountain to practice, their elders will repeatedly tell them not to go to Liangzhou Prefecture.

Twenty years later, Liangzhou Mansion.

Jinxiuzhai is the largest restaurant in Liangzhou Prefecture. It not only sells all kinds of dine-in food, but also sells food such as roast chicken, braised duck, trotters in sauce, which people can buy and eat at home.

Their shop is also very large. In addition to the old-fashioned restaurant opened 20 years ago, the owner of Jinxiuzhai later bought the shops on both sides to sell snacks and cakes in the shop.

People in Liangzhou who pass by Jinxiuzhai can smell the enticing fragrance from here.

On this day, seven or eight teenagers, boys and girls, wearing awe inspiring outfits and carrying weapons appeared in Liangzhou.

They looked at everything around them curiously, and exchanged information together: "This Liangzhou looks ordinary, don't know why Master didn't let me come."

"My Dad won't let me come… I thought this was dragon and tiger's den, but it was obviously not!"

"The people here live and work in peace and contentment, and they are all doing well…"

…

The elders in the family didn't let them come to Liangzhou Prefecture. They thought there was a demon sect or something here, and they were very worried when they secretly came over. As a result… they didn't even see a martial artist!

These boys and girls wandered around and felt that the law and order in Liangzhou was much better than they thought, and they became more and more puzzled.

At this time, they smelled a tempting fragrance, which came from a nearby restaurant called Jinxiuzhai.

There were a lot of people eating in this restaurant, and people came and went. One of the teenagers suggested: "Shall we go have a meal?"

Others agreed.

They quickly entered the Jinxiuzhai, and then they found that there were a lot of waiters here, and it was quite different from the waiters of other restaurants.

The waiters they met in the past always had greasy cuffs and bowed with a flattering face, but the waiters here were different.

Not only did they wear new and clean clothes, they also had straight backs and looked very different.

For young people like them, this kind of shop is undoubtedly more pleasing, and what satisfies them most is that the food here is particularly delicious!

They almost ate their tongues. They ate until their belly rounded, and then slumped into their seats contentedly: "No wonder there are so many guests here, it turns out that the food is so delicious!"

"The chef's knifework is good, it takes a lot of effort to carve the carrot for the side dish, right?"

"The food at my uncle's house is not even as good as the food here!" said one of the little girls.

The girl's surname is Liu, and her uncle is Liu Zhiqing.

In the martial arts world, who didn't know that Liu Zhiqing and Zhu Lianying were married? The uncle's house she was talking about was Zhu Lianying's house, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance!

Zhu Lianying has a lot of adventures, is well managed, and is very rich. His food is naturally top-notch. As a result… it is not as good as the food in this restaurant?

These boys and girls were a little surprised. At this moment, a young man suddenly said, "Look at those two, they are really handsome!"

Hearing this person's words, these boys and girls looked over together, and saw a man who looked to be in his thirties coming out of the upstairs box with a young man who looked to be in his twenties and heading out.

The appearance and temperament of these two people are really outstanding, these boys and girls can't help but yearn for them. Liu Zhiqing's niece looked at them, even more dazed.

Among them, the one who looked a little older was actually very similar to Liu Zhiqing!

"Who are these two? Let's follow up and see?" one of the teenagers suggested.

Those two did not seem to have martial arts, but they were all masters of the younger generation, and they would not be discovered by following them secretly.

"Okay," everyone agreed. They don't want to do anything, but people with outstanding looks make people feel happy just by looking at them.

What's more, they had nothing to do in the first place.

When the two of them got out of the restaurant, they got into a carriage. These boys and girls secretly followed behind, and they asked someone to find out their identities.

It turns out that they are the owner of the restaurant, one is called Master Jing, the other is called Master Xiu.

The carriage run very slowly, and halfway through the road, the two of them got out of the carriage and bought something with an intimate gesture…

"They should be a pair, they are a good match."

"Like a divine couple."

"I thought that the looks of Leader Zhu and Master Liu are unmatched, but they are even better."

…

These boys and girls whispered, and at this moment, the carriage in front of them stopped in front of a mansion.

They took a long look and were about to leave, when suddenly they heard a familiar voice suddenly sounded—Zhu Lianying suddenly appeared at the door of the house: "Master Jing, I have brought ten thousand taels of silver, I seek for your advice!"

"You can't think about it again?" Yan Jing Ze looked at Zhu Lianying speechlessly.

Over the years, Zhu Lianying would come here from time to time to find him to learn martial arts, or to say…be beaten by him.

He usually agreed, after all, it didn't take much effort to clean up Zhu Lianying, and Zhu Lianying paid back every time.

"Please advice!" Zhu Lianying said again.

When Yan Jing Ze heard the words, he flew out of the carriage and fought with Zhu Lianying. After a while, Zhu Lianying was knocked to the ground by him.

Yan Jing Ze stepped on Zhu Lianying's chest and asked Zhu Lianying, "Where is the silver?"

Zhu Lianying coughed a few times and took out the bank note from his arms.

Yan Jing Ze took the banknote and then raised his foot to let go of Zhu Lianying. At the same time, Liu Zhiqing also came out and helped Zhu Lianying up.

Yan Jing Ze said to Liu Zhiqing: "He is not young anymore, and it is not interesting to spend money to be beaten every year. Please persuade him and let him not come." There were a few young people behind his carriage today… Zhu Lianying was embarrassed and lost in front of the younger generation!

"Okay." Liu Zhiqing replied a little helplessly.

Yan Jing Ze wanted to say a few more words. Yan Xiu came out of the carriage: "Jing Ze, it's time to go home. You don't have to talk to them." Even after twenty years, he still doesn't like these two people!

"Okay, I won't talk to them, I'll only talk to you!" Yan Jing Ze laughed and took Yan Xiu into the courtyard.

Those boys and girls: "…" No wonder the elders didn't let them come here. This look of their alliance leader is really a bit embarrassing…
