Cui Shixu's idea was similar to that of Gu Nancheng, who was still helping Fang Ruotang curse and whose thoughts weren't quite as quick.

Although they chose to coexist.

But she grew up in a patriarchal environment.

Therefore, they tacitly believed that the reason why the sect leader looked down on Fang Ruotang was entirely because they were incompetent. If a man was capable, who would dare to look down on his wife?

It's just like being in the mortal world.

The wife of a high-ranking official.

Being plump is considered a sign of prosperity and good fortune for one's husband.

The daughter of a high-ranking official.

She may have an ordinary appearance, but that's called dignified and elegant, making her suitable to be the matriarch of the household.

Only a low-class, incompetent man would have someone speak ill of his wife and daughters to his face.

Often, this kind of man is also the most foolish; he might even agree with or condone it.

He had no idea that people didn't look down on his wife and daughters, but rather on him.

Gu Yanjin and his friends came from noble families. From a young age, not to mention the people they liked, even the cats and dogs they raised could attract countless people's praise.

Now, the people they cherish most are being looked down upon, which is a devastating blow to them.

At this moment, my heart was not as calm as my face suggested.

The sense of oppression was overwhelming.

It wasn't just Fang Ruotang's excellence that spurred them on; there were others coming from all directions as well. They had started too late, and there were simply too many powerful cultivators on the Cloud Deep Continent.

They wanted to regain their status from the Dayong era, so that Fang Ruotang would be superior to others wherever she went because of them, but none of them said these words out loud.

After all, the deed was already done in secret.

When one is incompetent, saying these things is nothing short of boasting and only adds to the absurdity of the situation.

At this moment, apart from Gu Nancheng, who was wholeheartedly discussing important plans with Fang Ruotang, the other five people were almost all multitasking, and at the same time, they all noticed that the people next to them had the same little thoughts as them.

Although their social status means they don't have to worry about anyone's feelings, it is precisely because of their social status that they all have extremely sharp eyes.

Those in positions of power who lack discerning eyes will at best be mediocre rulers; nine times out of ten, they will be made fools of by their subordinates and will be condemned for eternity even in death.

"Stop talking, what terrible ideas are you coming up with?"

Fang Ruotang suddenly raised her voice, interrupting Gu Nancheng.

The other five people also heard Gu Nancheng's thoughtless words and looked at him disapprovingly.

"Who is Xiao Liu? How could she collude with the demons?" Ye Wuxia looked at Gu Nancheng as if he were an idiot.

When Gu Nancheng saw Fang Ruotang's stern face, his momentum immediately weakened.

"Either we collude, or we lure in the demons. For example, we could steal the demons' treasures and put them in the Illusionary Sect, attracting the demons to our doorstep and causing the sect to be destroyed."

“No!” Rong Xing refused decisively.

Fang Ruotang is currently confused and doesn't quite understand.

But they had pieced together a truth, more or less, from the little mirror.

Her true form is Mother Earth, the creator of all things.

Because of her, life exists in these three thousand worlds, both large and small.

All living beings draw nourishment from her body.

Although the demon race was also within her body, things were different once Fang Ruotang entered the mortal world. She could no longer be the high and mighty creator who did not interfere in the affairs of the world.

She is now just an ordinary person who has stepped into the world of cultivation from the mortal realm. She is the sect leader of Tianyi Sect and is on the side of justice. If she really has connections with the demon race and is exposed in the future, she will definitely be in danger.

The little mirror kept quiet because it was worried that Fang Ruotang would be scared if she knew the truth.

This is indeed hard to accept.

When they first heard this, they were all afraid that they might be in the same situation.

Not to mention Fang Ruotang's simple personality.

When they found out, they were stunned for a long time, and even guessed which part of Fang Ruotang's body they were standing in.

Heart? Liver? Spleen? Lungs? Kidneys?

The question is whether the Creator's body is the same as that of an ordinary person, and whether it has these internal organs.

"Exactly! What are you thinking! Have you forgotten how much we hated those guys when the demons invaded Dayong? When I saw them, I only wanted to kill them, not cooperate with them."

After arriving in the Cloud Deep Continent, Fang Ruotang also learned that the demon race was not just composed of those unintelligent demons; they could also cultivate like humans.

You can also level up to Demon General or Demon King.

However, the Cloud Deep Continent is truly vast, and despite their current wanderings, they have not actually left the eastern border of the Cloud Deep Continent.

The main habitat of the demon race is not in the eastern region.

The Eastern Territory has the largest number of human cultivators.

The Cloud Deep Continent is not only inhabited by demons, but also by monsters.

"Alright, alright, I misspoke. I won't say such things again. I was just thinking of dealing with them as quickly as possible. Most sects will collapse if they get involved with the demons."

"Anyway, I can't have any contact with the demons. They're all black, the lower-level ones aren't intelligent, and they stink. I hate them. Most importantly, they killed so many of our people in Dayong. I want to kill them whenever I see them to avenge the people of Dayong."

Cui Shixu reached out and rubbed the indignant Fang Ruotang.

"You seem to miss them quite a bit!"

"That's for sure! They worship me, so even if I can't save everyone, I should help those who are suffering. Similarly, if we encounter demons that have harmed us, we must eliminate them completely. What if one day the seal breaks again and they kill our people again?"

"Your words make me feel ashamed." Gu Nancheng lowered his head, looking like he had done something wrong.

Fang Ruotang glanced at him and said strangely, "The people of Dayong worship me, not you. What does it have to do with you?"

Gu Nancheng: ...

What's going on that makes it even more heartbreaking?

“As a prince of the dynasty, he is worshipped by the people and should not forget this grudge, so he was wrong in this matter,” Gu Yanjin explained.

Fang Ruotang thought about it and agreed.

"Yes, you're wrong."

As she spoke, she nodded emphatically at Gu Nancheng.

"I'll send a message back right away and exempt the people in my fiefdom from taxes for a year." After saying that, he was afraid that Fang Ruotang would misunderstand, so he explained, "If it's too much, the people in other cities will become jealous and cause trouble for my elder sister."

He no longer needs ordinary people's money.

From now on, the taxes and grain from the fiefdom will not need to be paid to his royal residence. It's a good opportunity to let the princess take back the fiefdom for management.

If he's away from Dayong for a year or two, it's fine. But if he's away for a long time, it's hard to guarantee that his subordinates won't develop ulterior motives. If they do, they'll prey on the people, and it will be the common people who suffer.

It's one thing to hate him, but everyone knows he's the Grand Preceptor's little man. It wouldn't be good if he ended up hating the Grand Preceptor because of this, which would tarnish Fang Ruotang's reputation.
