Chapter 817: The Unusual Small Town
On this day, Jian Shen and Lin Xi arrived at a small town. They were just passing through, intending to find a place to rest before continuing their journey, but as soon as they entered, they noticed the residents hastening along and some constables on high alert, with expressions as if facing a formidable enemy.
Instinct told Jian Shen and Lin Xi that something was amiss, and something must have happened.
A constable came up to question them: "Who are you, and where are you from?"
Jian Shen frowned. He was now a public enemy of the Martial Arts world, and Qian Ye’s identity as the enchantress of the Shennv Xuanhui made it truly inadvisable to reveal their true identities. So, he had no choice but to say they were travelers from afar, come to enjoy the local scenery, and that they were just passing through the small town, hoping to stay for one night and leave early the next morning.
The constable looked skeptical, especially upon seeing Jian Shen’s weapon and his fierce aura; it was clear that he was no ordinary individual.
The number of surrounding constables grew, and Lin Xi realized that they would not be let go easily anytime soon. She was worried, fearing that if these oblivious officers provoked Jian Shen and a fight broke out, everything would become even more complicated.
Just then, a head constable arrived and said indifferently, "They are my friends, no need to worry."
Hearing this, all the constables dispersed. Before leaving, they couldn’t help but take another glance at Jian Shen and Lin Xi. Such a handsome man and beautiful woman were indeed rare to see, and they seemed to be a perfect match standing together.
Jian Shen looked at the chief constable, and the chief constable looked back at him, both smiling simultaneously.
