In response to the master's question, Mo Yanliang just nodded politely and didn't say much.
Those rich young men obviously believed in the master very much. Seeing Mo Yanliang's cold attitude, some of them immediately became unhappy.
A more impulsive young man rushed up and started to attack Mo Yanliang. He was unhappy with Mo Yanliang's attitude before, and he was a little worried that Mo Yanliang was really a powerful character. But on their way to Tianshui City, Mo Yanliang was too quiet, which made these young men feel that he was nothing special. In addition, now they have a master around to support them, so what is there to be afraid of?
"Some people really don't have much ability, but they are so arrogant! You don't even know Master Fan, but you dare to call yourself a master. I think you are just a liar!"
This young man started the conversation, and the others followed suit and laughed.
Obviously compared to Master Fan, Mo Yanliang looks like a liar and not professional at all!
Mo Yanliang didn't know where this Master Fan came from, and he looked at Young Marquis Qi with a puzzled look.
Only Young Marquis Qi stood on Mo Yanliang's side. He didn't laugh when everyone else was laughing. Receiving Mo Yanliang's puzzled look, he immediately explained to Mo Yanliang: "Master Fan is a famous demon catcher in the capital, and was hired by Prince Jin at a high price."
"Oh? A large sum of money..."
Mo Yanliang probably understood that this was a charlatan who was trying to cheat people out of their money.
Perhaps it was because Mo Yanliang's "Oh" was too meaningful, that Master Fan stopped everyone from laughing: "Everyone, I think it's more important to focus on business."
After Master Fan reminded them, they all remembered that they came to Tianshui City mainly to catch the Time-stealing demon, so everyone looked at Master Fan expectantly: "Master, what do you think we should do now?"
Mo Yanliang was also very curious about what Master Fan was going to do.
Because he hadn't figured out how to catch the Time-Stealing Demon and he couldn't even sense any demonic aura in Tianshui City.
Master Fan seemed to be confident. He said confidently, "Just leave this matter to me."
As Master Fan spoke, he took out a lot of things, and then dressed up one by one with these things, holding a drum in his hand, a long bell tied around his waist, muttering something, and singing and dancing.
Mo Yanliang: ???
Isn’t this... the legendary shaman dance?
Mo Yanliang looked at the other people around him, and no one found it strange. They were all looking at Master Fan with devout and expectant eyes.
Mo Yanliang felt that he was probably too normal and didn't fit in with them.
Mo Yanliang has already determined that Master Fan really has no ability.
After confirming this, he didn't want to waste time watching Master Fan perform magic tricks, so he simply sat down to meditate and began to cultivate.
He seized every opportunity to cultivate, hoping to become more powerful as soon as possible.
It was unknown how long it had passed, but Master Fan finally finished his shaman dance and told everyone that the time-stealing demon had been caught.
When Mo Yanliang opened his eyes, he saw a pool of blood on the ground, and those young masters were all complimenting Master Fan. They even told the people in the city that they could sleep peacefully because Master Fan had solved the time-stealing demon.
The people in the city were still skeptical, after all, they were all victims. Seeing that the people were skeptical, Prince Jin said that this person was Master Fan from the capital.
When they heard that it was Master Fan, the believers immediately felt much more at ease.
Mo Yanliang didn't expect that this charlatan Master Fan was actually so famous.
But Mo Yanliang knew that the time-stealing demon had never appeared. If all the people in the city went to sleep now, it would be a very dangerous thing.
"Everyone, the demon has not been eliminated yet, you can't sleep now."
It would have been fine if Mo Yanliang didn't say anything. Once he did, Prince Jin finally vented his dissatisfaction: "Since you were hired by Young Marquis Qi to exorcise the demon, we won't bother with you. What were you doing when Master Fan was working so hard to exorcise the demon? Why are you talking so much now that the master has exorcised the demon!"
When Young Marquis Qi saw that the atmosphere was not right, he immediately came over to act as a peacemaker.
He is a loyal man. No matter what, it was he who brought Mo Yanliang here, so he definitely won't let anyone bully him.
Although Mo Yanliang hasn't done anything yet, Young Marquis Qi is a little disappointed. Master Fan solved the problem too quickly.
However, Mo Yanliang didn't want to explain more, mainly because he couldn't explain it clearly. He directly pressed the Dragon Roar Sword against Prince Jin's neck, successfully shutting up the clamoring Prince Jin.
"If you want to sleep, go and sleep by yourself. Don't use the time of the people in the city to fulfill your vanity."
Although Prince Jin was very angry, the cold light of the Dragon Roar Sword still made him dare not speak out.
Eventually he went to bed with the gang of rich kids that followed him.
After all, it was already this late, and it was unrealistic to go back to the capital. They have absolute trust in Master Fan and planned to sleep for a night before leaving tomorrow.
Many people in Tianshui City also believed Master Fan, mainly because they had not slept for a long time and were very sleepy.
But there are still many people who dare not sleep. After all, they have been deeply harmed by the time-stealing demon. Now they dare not believe it even if they are told that the time-stealing demon is dead.
Seeing that Prince Jin and the others had left, Young Marquis Qi walked up to Mo Yanliang and hesistantly asked, "Brother Master, you said that the Time-stealing Demon is not dead... are you sure?"
"If you don't believe me, you can just go to sleep."
Mo Yanliang did not explain too much, he said everything he needed to say. Since Prince Jin and the others did not believe him and wanted to go to sleep, Mo Yanliang would not stop them, because he thought of one thing. It was difficult for him to catch the Time Thief Demon now because the Time Thief Demon's whereabouts were erratic and he had no way of catching him if he didn't know where he was. But if these young masters fell asleep, the Time Thief Demon would naturally appear when he wanted to steal time, and then he could catch the demon.
It's a pure natural bait, why would he stop it?
Prince Jin and the others didn't know that they were a ready-made bait in Mo Yanliang's heart. They were all immersed in the joy of saving the people of the city and being heroes.
When he returns to the capital tomorrow and reports the matter, Prince Jin has already anticipated how great the honor he will receive.
With such a happy mood, Prince Jin fell into a dream, but it was not a sweet dream...
-
Young Marquis Qi, Prince Jin and a group of people found an inn to stay in. Mo Yanliang did not go to sleep. He sat in the lobby on the first floor, waiting for the Time Thief to arrive.
Young Marquis Qi struggled for a long time between sleeping and not sleeping, but in the end he chose not to sleep. After all, Mo Yanliang was someone he had found, so there was no reason for him not to trust himself!
"Brother Master, do you think the Time-stealing Demon will really come back later?"
"Brother Master, have you ever seen a demon? Are all demons extremely scary with green faces and fangs?"
"Brother Master, do you think we should really stay here all night without sleeping? What if..."
Young Marquis Qi was indeed a chatterbox, which reminded Mo Yanliang of his chatterbox colleague. He rubbed his brows and was about to ask the young marquis to shut up, when he suddenly felt a demonic aura.
"The demon is coming."
Mo Yanliang only said three words and successfully shut up Young Marquis Qi. He approached Mo Yanliang nervously, even grabbing Mo Yanliang's clothes, shrinking his head and looking around.
After looking for a long time without seeing the monster, Young Marquis Qi looked at Mo Yanliang again: "Brother Master, where is the demon?"
"Just sit here and don't run around. I'll go take a look."
According to the situation in Tianshui City, this demon will not hurt anyone as long as they are not asleep, so Mo Yanliang has nothing to worry about leaving Young Marquis Qi alone in the lobby.
He chased in the direction of the demonic aura, but the demonic aura moved and disappeared very quickly. Mo Yanliang didn't see the demon at all, but the demonic aura had already moved to another place.
At this time, the voice of the Dragon Roar Sword Spirit suddenly rang out: "Master, the demon's real body did not come here. He directly entered the human dream to steal time and then left. We can't catch him at all."
Before, when Young Marquis Qi and the others were around, the spirit of the Dragon Roar Sword had never made a sound.
This time-stealing demon was indeed cunning. If it weren't for Mo Yanliang's extremely keen perception as a member of the God Clan, he wouldn't even be able to detect this demonic aura. After all, the time-stealing demon only appeared briefly in people's dreams.
"What do you recommend?"
Mo Yanliang had no experience in exorcising demons, so he simply asked the spirit of the Dragon Roar Sword.
"Master, the only solution now is to sleep."
Not the protagonist throwing himself into harm's way lol
