Chapter 59 Go back and rest, you're even walking strangely.
Nothing happened that night. Ding Yi leaned against the kitchen wall and fell asleep in the middle of the night, only slowly waking up when it was just dawn the next day.
Upon waking up, Ding Yi first glanced at the thin thread tied to the door. Finding nothing amiss, he breathed a sigh of relief and then slowly stood up.
Although the thin thread was ordinary, Ding Yi wove it into a spider web shape, covering most of the door frame.
Even if that witch tiptoed here last night, there's no way she could have gotten in without touching these threads.
Ding Yi slightly adjusted the book at the base of his thigh, and recalling yesterday's experience, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Although only one night has passed, he is already very different from yesterday. From today onwards, Ding Yi will definitely trample all these god-worshipping demons under his feet and achieve his eternal fame!
Ding Yi's grin widened, but suddenly he heard a slight noise coming from the next room, and his expression instantly returned to calm.
Ding Yi arrived at the door, picked up the bottle leaning against the wall, and also tore off the thin thread on the door. He hid it in the woodpile in the kitchen before leisurely walking out of the kitchen.
"My lord, I must go report for duty."
Ding Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute as he faced the closed bedroom door.
A few breaths later, a clear voice came from inside the room.
"Please rest assured, sir. I'll leave the household to Xiaohe!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi's eyelids twitched again. He cursed the witch in his heart and then turned and walked out of the courtyard.
Once outside the courtyard, Ding Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slightly twisted his right leg, which was bound with books, to adjust to a more comfortable position before walking towards the patrol office.
When Ding Yi arrived at the patrol office, he found that the gate to the post was already open and three or four of his colleagues from the patrol office were already standing in the courtyard.
Ding Yi hurriedly ran into the courtyard, hung his waist tag on the vertical sign, and then heard a surprised voice from the side:
"Ding Hai, you actually managed to come today?"
Ding Yi turned his head and saw that everyone in the courtyard was staring at him in surprise. He was taken aback for a moment, and then said:
"I took the day off on my first day of duty yesterday, I can't do that again today."
"Ah? Then, did the officials from the Yin-Yang Palace make things difficult for you?"
One of them glanced at the doorway, then asked cautiously.
"No."
Ding Yi said.
"Incredible!"
Another person said.
"I told you, this kid's got a lucky life!"
A rough voice came from the side. Ding Yi looked over and found that it was Li Baozheng picking his teeth while looking in his direction.
"What, is this kind of thing dangerous?"
Ding Yi was somewhat puzzled.
"Not really, haha."
Everyone tacitly stopped discussing and then walked towards the wing room at the back of the courtyard.
Seeing this scene, Ding Yi immediately had some guesses in his mind, but he still followed the others out of the courtyard.
Liu Butong seemed to be in a gloomy mood today, but when he saw Ding Yi walk into the courtyard, his fat face twitched violently.
"Go do your own thing, Ding Hai, come here!"
This time, Liu Butong didn't say much. He simply waved to everyone and then left Ding Yi behind.
After everyone dispersed, Ding Yi approached Liu Butong, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:
"Boss, you called me."
"Hmm, did you have any... um, special requests yesterday, sir?"
Liu Butong asked.
"No?"
Ding Yi was taken aback.
"Ahem, that's good. Ding Hai, these next few days you just need to take good care of the special envoy from the Yin Yang Palace. You don't need to come in every day."
Liu Butong suddenly said.
"My lord, you have misunderstood. The special envoy was just investigating some things."
Ding Yi quickly replied.
"Ding Hai, your walking posture is a bit off. Don't explain, I understand."
Liu Butong said earnestly, then shook his head and was about to leave.
"Boss, I came here today to ask if there are any particularly dangerous jobs."
Seeing that Liu Butong was about to leave, Ding Yi quickly said something else.
“Dangerous? All the work in our patrol division is dangerous, like what you are doing now.”
Liu Butong said something with a forced smile.
"Boss, that's not what I meant. Is there anything that can clear away external evil influences?"
Ding Yi said.
"Ok?"
Liu Butong was taken aback when Ding Yi said that.
"Boss, to tell you the truth, I fled here from out of state. My whole family was killed by this jinx..."
As Ding Yi spoke, he clenched his right fist tightly, as if he were enduring unimaginable anger.
Upon hearing this, Liu Butong suddenly remembered that Ding Yi was from out of town. He frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Ding Hai, although I sympathize with your situation, you must act within your means. This jinx is not so easy to deal with. Let's talk about it another time."
Liu Butong patted Ding Yi on the shoulder, then ignored what Ding Yi said and left the courtyard, disappearing without a trace.
"It's a bad start."
Ding Yi looked at Liu Butong's retreating figure and the empty courtyard, and murmured to himself.
However, Ding Yi did not feel discouraged. Instead, he followed the others out of the courtyard and headed towards the Bai Family Martial Arts School.
If one path is blocked, try another.
Upon entering the martial arts hall, Ding Yi heard familiar training sounds.
Arriving at the backyard with practiced ease, Ding Yi saw his fellow disciples diligently practicing the Bai family boxing style.
Ding Yi's appearance naturally attracted everyone's attention.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Ding!"
Huang Xuyang was the first to shout.
"Senior Brother Ding..."
Good morning, Senior Brother Ding!
Immediately afterwards, the others seemed to wake up from a dream and started shouting at the top of their lungs.
Standing at the front of the crowd, Cui Wancheng smiled at Ding Yi and asked:
"Seventh Junior Brother, what brings you here today?"
"Senior Brother Cui, I would like to ask Master some questions."
Ding Yi quickly replied.
"That's how it is. There's no end to learning. Master should just be getting up now, so I won't take you with me."
Cui Wancheng smiled and nodded, then shouted to the crowd behind him:
"See that? Junior Brother Ding became a martial artist in just one month, yet he remains humble and eager to learn! What excuse do you have left for being lazy?!"
This shout startled Ding Yi, who quickly walked towards the connecting corridor beside him, not daring to look at the faces of the others.
At this moment, Ding Yi realized what it meant to be the target of everyone's criticism, to feel like he had thorns in his back.
When Ding Yi arrived at the back room, he saw Bai Wangyun coming out of the side room, so he clasped his hands and said:
"master."
"Huh? Why are you here so early today?"
Bai Wangyun was somewhat surprised.
"I've encountered a problem and would like to ask my mentor for advice."
Ding Yi quickly replied.
"Well, let's not talk about anything else for now. Come on, let's exchange a few moves and I'll see your strength."
Bai Wangyun waved to Ding Yi and said casually.
"what?"
Ding Yi was taken aback.
It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that he was currently practicing the "White Ape Turning Python" style, which was far removed from the Bai family's boxing techniques. If he made a move, he would definitely be discovered.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about hurting your old bones?"
When Bai Wangyun saw Ding Yi's troubled expression, his face immediately hardened.
"Master, I am skilled with a knife."
After pondering for a few moments, Ding Yi could only say this.
"I don't care what you use, come on, unleash your full power!"
Bai Wangyun rolled up his sleeves and strode towards Ding Yi.
