Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 347 Receive the Obituary

The Miao Jiang Great Shaman and Han Yi are both very powerful, which is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

In addition, Xu Yao's own cultivation level was also very high, so naturally he had no problem dealing with this so-called murderous woman.

The two nodded and followed Xu Yao into Blackwater Town.

Because the three of them accepted the obituary, many people pointed and whispered about them along the way.

Xu Yao and his two companions, however, didn't take it seriously. In any case, they were planning to see this so-called murderous woman from Blackwater Town anyway.

Whether it's really that powerful or not, Xu Yao naturally hopes to resolve this matter completely if possible.

Just then, a man who looked to be about forty years old ran over enthusiastically and said, "Have the three heroes come to Blackwater Town to capture the murderer who killed people?"

“Exactly.” Xu Yao nodded.

"I am the owner of the only inn in this Blackwater Town. This woman is too harmful. The county magistrate has said so."

"If a hero can truly rid Blackwater Town of this scourge, then it is forbidden to charge them for lodging and meals."

"Please come to my inn and rest for a while, you three," the innkeeper said cheerfully.

Xu Yao and his two companions hadn't expected that accepting the obituary would bring such benefits, but they remembered that they were ultimately there to rid the people of a scourge.

There's not much to say about this; the situation is what it is now.

In short, Xu Yao himself was very clear that since the shop owner was so polite, he would do as the shop owner said.

Let's go to this inn first. Xu Yao and his two companions won't eat and stay for free. They'll set off tomorrow night and deal with this woman.

After arriving at the inn, the three of them were each assigned a single room by the innkeeper.

It was a top-notch room.

After everything was over, the shop owner arranged for the three of them to have a meal.

Xu Yao smiled and said, "Boss, there's no need to be so polite. The three of us will take a day off today."

"I'll take care of it tomorrow night. It's just a small matter, not worth the boss going to such lengths," Xu Yao said.

The shop owner laughed and said, "If we can really deal with this woman, then to be honest, my shop's business is so small."

"Absolutely no problem at all. There's absolutely no issue with this, so please don't stand on ceremony. Order whatever you'd like to eat or use."

"I've taken over the entire shop," the shop owner said generously.

Xu Yao and the others nodded happily and began to eat with a clear conscience.

There was no way around it; Xu Yao himself knew this. Since you have this ability, there's no need for you to feign politeness.

Being too polite makes you seem insincere. Since you have the ability, you should be entitled to the benefits you deserve.

After the three finished their meal, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Xu Yao took a hot shower and went to rest comfortably.

The next day, Xu Yao, along with the Miao shaman and Han Yi, discussed at the inn their plan to go to the mountains outside the town that night to find the woman.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xu Yao asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"It's me, shopkeeper. The government officials have arrived and say they wish to meet the three heroes," the shopkeeper said.

Xu Yao then got up and opened the door, and a man dressed in official robes walked in.

Upon seeing Xu Yao, the Miao shaman, and Han Yi, the man's serious expression vanished, replaced by a sudden burst of joy.

The official bowed to Xu Yao and said, "I originally wanted to see if the three of you truly possessed real talent and learning."

"I never expected that this young master would have formed a connection with the Miao Jiang Great Shaman at such a young age. I, Xu Tu, am also aware of the cultivation level of this Miao Jiang Great Shaman."

“Anyone who can be with the Miao Great Shaman must be no ordinary person. The people of my Blackwater Town are saved,” Xu Tu said.

"Magistrate Xu, you're too kind. But do you know the Miao shaman?" Xu Yao asked, somewhat surprised.

"That's natural. I know the name of this Miao Jiang Great Shaman, even though Xu Tu was watching from the sidelines."

"But before he went to the capital to take the imperial examination, he was a disciple who cultivated in the sacred mountains."

"This will naturally have an impact on the Miao shaman as well, there's no doubt about that," Xu Tu said cheerfully.

Seeing that Xu Tu had said this, Xu Yao nodded and asked, "Then, Magistrate Xu, what brings you here to see us?"

"It's nothing," Xu Tu said. "I just came to resolve some of my doubts, and now I have no more doubts."

"I just don't know how you address your friends, young man?" Xu Tu asked.

Xu Yao then realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet, so he said, "My name is Xu Yao, and this is Han Yi."

"So you are Han Yi, the leader of the Assassin's Guild. My apologies for not recognizing you sooner," Xu Tu said.

Han Yi stood up and said, "Magistrate Xu, you are too kind. I am just a military man and do not deserve such courtesy from you."

Xu Yao was also somewhat surprised. Although Xu Tu was only a minor county magistrate, he seemed to be all-powerful.

How did they know that? And Han Yi doesn't seem to have any background that would require the court to know, right?

Although Xu Yao was very clear about it, he still found the matter somewhat interesting, but no matter what.

Magistrate Xu is quite a formidable figure.

After exchanging pleasantries, Magistrate Xu said, "I won't disturb you all here discussing matters. I'll be heading back now."

"Once you heroes have captured the murderous woman, I, the magistrate, will personally hold a celebration for you all."

After saying that, Xu Tu left the inn.

The three of them then sat down to continue their discussion.

At this moment, Xu Yao asked curiously, "Han Yi, your identity has been exposed by this official of the imperial court, but you don't seem to care much?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "What's there to care about? The court will know."

Xu Yao asked curiously, "How would Xu Tu, a county magistrate, know your true identity?"

"Isn't that incredibly accurate?" Xu Yao was somewhat taken aback.

Han Yi then asked, "Xu Yao, where do you think the cultivators and Taoists of the cultivation world gather the most?"

"Aren't they the major sects?" Xu Yao was a little confused.

The Miao shaman laughed and said, "Xu Yao is still young. The place where the most people gather is naturally the imperial court."

"After all, wealth and glory are far more tempting than cultivating immortality and achieving eternal life."
