Chapter 63: Bullshit

Thinking of this, Lin Luo felt a little hungry, and he wanted to go back to Lingxiao Sect to get some food.

After An Yiru finished his work, he went back to get food and practice sword-fighting, spending a fulfilling and happy time.

When he came to the town again, Qianqiu Pavilion had already withdrawn. He came with his apprentice to carry out the mission of exorcising demons.

To be precise, you should watch, not accompany. You should watch Cen Xi personally exorcise demons and monsters. Don't try to be lazy and find someone else to do it.

Cen Xi originally wanted to let his junior sister do it.

Her junior sister is very petite, so she can put her in her pocket. Even if Teacher Lin is watching her, her junior sister may not be discovered.

However, the moment he stepped out of the mountain gate, Lin Luo took off his disguise and returned to his original appearance.

Cen Xi's good junior sister jumped out of her pocket in an instant, turned into a human form and hugged Lin Luo's thighs tightly.

Lin Luo looked down and his face darkened: "Whose child is this? So annoying."

"It's me! Teacher!"

When Lin Luo heard this voice, he thought of the kitten who always liked to pick at his boots: "Zhen Yu."

It clearly looks like a kitten, why is it so bear-like?

In addition to the issue of Zhen Yu's upbringing, there is a more obvious problem facing Lin Luo.

Lin Luo looked at Cen Xi and asked, "Cen Xi, why is Zhen Yu here? Isn't this your mission?"

Zhen Yu ran too fast and Cen Xi hadn't reacted yet.

She paused, an explanation coming to her mind.

"Well, we're working as a team to complete this mission."

Lin Luo looked at Cen Xi, then looked down at Zhen Yu.

"A yellow-level mission requires you, who is at the Qi Refining stage, and Zhen Yu, who is at the Nascent Soul stage, to complete together?"

Zhen Yu is a Zhe. Zhe monsters are naturally more powerful than humans. A Zhe monster in the Yuanying stage can fight against a human cultivator in the Dongxu stage. Asking Zhen Yu to participate in a yellow-level task that can be completed by a human cultivator in the Qi Refining stage is simply overkill.

Cen Xi continued to edit.

"Teacher, you can't just look at her fighting ability. Look at how young she is. They say an elder sister is like a mother. Although I'm not the eldest sister, as an ordinary sister, I also have the responsibility and obligation to care for such a young sister like a mother. A younger sister like her can't live without her mother. Even if I have to go on a long mission, I must take her with me."

Lin Luo didn't believe her for this reason at all: "Do you think what you said is credible to me?"

Of course not at all.

Cen Xi coughed lightly and continued calmly, "But we really complement each other. Teacher, you see, I have a higher intelligence, and Junior Sister Zhen Yu has a higher fighting ability. If we are together often, we can learn from each other and become smarter and more capable fighters. What is this called? The way of man is to take from the deficient to serve the abundant, and the way of heaven is to take from the abundant and provide for the deficient. I am acting on behalf of heaven, and it is a great deed. I deserve encouragement!"

Lin Luo was silent.

In fact, he didn't think what Cen Xi said made sense, but when a child he had watched grow up asked him for praise with sparkling eyes, Lin Luo couldn't say anything harsh to the child.

He lowered his head and looked at Zhen Yu: "Zhen Yu."

It would be better if he could talk to Zhen Yu now about how to be a civilized and polite person.

He thought about how to say this.

Just like talking to her normally, tell her that it is not good to cling to others, is that okay?

It doesn't seem to work. In fact, he had talked about this with Zhen Yu before, and he had talked about it with many of the students in this class. He told them many times not to try to pull off his boots, so as not to be stepped on by him.

But he never stepped on any of the furries, and the furries kept pulling at his boots with increasing enthusiasm.

Lin Luo felt that he needed to use more forceful words to discourage these furry people from trying to rip him off.

"Stop picking on other people, okay?"

Zhen Yu nodded and let go of his hand.

She felt a little aggrieved.

When she was on Mount Zhang'e, no creature could resist her grazing.

Now she was rejected by this person again, and he was such a good-looking guy.

Couldn't Teacher Lin just turn into an old man and reject her? It was really painful for Zeng to say such words to her now.

Zhen Yu lay back on the ground listlessly, turning back into a kitten. She leaped back into Cen Xi's pocket and hugged her cat head listlessly.

Cen Xi felt that Zhen Yu would not be in the mood to take money out of his pocket again.

The task she received was to go to Linjiang City to clean out the low-level demon cultivators in the periphery, which would take about a month.

If Zhen Yu quietly jumped out of her pocket and killed them, there would be no demon cultivators around in less than a day.

Zhen Yu is in a very sad mood now, and is stuck in her pocket and can't get out. Cen Xi can only work hard and strive passionately to finish the task as soon as possible and go home for dinner early.

Lin Luo was watching from the side.

As he watched, he said to Cen Xi, "I think you are fully capable of handling Xuan-level missions. I'll tell the Grandmaster later."

Cen Xi almost fell headfirst onto the demon cultivator's corpse.

"No, that's not necessary. When cultivating, one should avoid aiming too high. The current state is good enough. Teacher Lin, please don't force things. As the saying goes, Tao follows nature. When it's time to take on a Xuan-level mission, I, a natural person, will naturally take it. If the time is not right, I won't be able to complete it even if I take it."

Lin Luo listened to her nonsense quietly and didn't want to chat with her anymore.

This will definitely not be forcing things to happen.

At that time, Cen Xi won the first place in the Qi Refining Group with her spiritual power far beyond the Qi Refining Stage. Lin Luo originally thought that she would be promoted after she came back.

If she had been promoted at that time, she should have been able to advance two major realms in a row. Unlike Sui Yan and the others, Cen Xi had been practicing since she was a child. Although her mentality was not very positive after entering Lingxiao Sect, she had put in all the effort she should have. In addition, the conditions are different now. The dishes cooked by food cultivators can greatly increase the speed of their cultivation growth. If Cen Xi had been promoted well, perhaps she would have been a sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage now.

In fact, she was almost unable to suppress this state.

It was true that she was suppressing it. Lin Luo suspected that Cen Xi was deliberately suppressing her own cultivation.

Lin Luo once wondered if there was something in Lingxiao Sect that needed to be concealed. Just like in the storybooks, when there were more people, all kinds of conflicts would occur. The protagonist could only survive in the early stages by trying to make himself inconspicuous. So Cen Xi, like the protagonist, tried to suppress his cultivation and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger.

However, he never noticed any problems in Lingxiao Sect in this regard, but he did notice that Cen Xi was quite popular in Lingxiao Sect.

It's not just Lingxiao Sect, she's successful everywhere. Unlike Huang Jinyu who is loved by everyone and flowers bloom wherever she goes, she is like water, melting into everything wherever she goes.

Cen Xi always spoke so confidently and eloquently in front of him, which actually reflected his inner thoughts to some extent.

He is also the kind of person who will stick to something with a clear conscience once he makes up his mind. So even though Cen Xi always makes him angry, he can actually understand.

Cen Xi is indeed a very smart child.

So Lin Luo really didn't understand why such a smart kid would suppress his own cultivation. This would make him, who was working hard to advance, look stupid.

I really don't understand what these kids are thinking.

It only took Cen Xi ten days to clear out the low-level demon cultivators on the outermost edge.

After completing the task, they also need to find the client and explain to the client the general status of the task completion. By the way, they should also conduct an on-site inspection of the client's qualifications to see whether the client's next commission is worth accepting.

The client of this mission was a casual cultivator who originally lived in Linjiang City and was very familiar with the city.

"It all started when Jiang Yi, the Lord of Linjiang City, had a demon inside him. During that time, the city was in chaos, the Lord's Mansion was practically non-existent, and many powerful people moved out of Linjiang City. Actually, I should have moved out of Linjiang City at that time, but I had nowhere else to go."

Who could have imagined that in just a few months, this place would become a devil's den?

"Until one day, when I couldn't feel my cultivation improving no matter how hard I breathed, I realized that Linjiang City was in an abnormal state. I broke through the ground and saw that the underground was already a demonic land. I realized that someone in the city had been possessed by a demon. I left the city and sought refuge with a powerful person I had met in Linjiang City before. During the time I worked under the powerful person, I learned that a top-grade spiritual mineral vein had been unearthed in Linjiang City. This was originally a good thing."

Lin Luo could probably guess what would happen next.

The city lord wanted to monopolize this top-grade spiritual mineral vein. In order to cover up the news, he most likely killed the person who dug out the top-grade spiritual mineral vein.

But he should have no defenses against his son.

Lin Luo blindly guessed that his son was possessed first.

As for what the truth is, Lin Luo doesn't care much.

What he was more concerned about was that once this group of people were possessed by the devil, they would always bring the land under their feet with them. Wouldn't their righteous path become smaller and smaller?

How can this be? This is not fair.

Lin Luo couldn't understand.

When he went to get food, he talked about this matter with Rong You.

Rong You told him something: "In fact, there are also cases where the Demon Realm has returned to the right path."

"Huh?"

Rong You's expression was a bit conflicted. "How should I put this? In fact, some demonic cultivators have even higher merits than righteous cultivators."

Lin Luo could probably understand a little: "Is it the kind of good demon cultivator in the storybooks who, although his cultivation method belongs to the demonic path, always does good things?"

"No, but it seems you could say that," Rong You thought for a moment. "Even though the demonic cultivators all have their own weapons and methods of cultivation, they all share the same path, which is to enter the Dao through killing. The more people they kill, the higher their realm. However, some don't kill righteous cultivators, they kill demonic cultivators. This can be considered as always doing good things."

Lin Luo didn't quite understand: "Aren't demon cultivators all very united? Is it really okay to just keep killing like this?"

Rong You explained, "That's not a problem. The Demonic Path is extremely chaotic and disorderly, and even when Demonic cultivators unite, they don't really have any order. If you kill one, another will come to your side and worship you. Demonic cultivators only unite with the strong, and they don't interact with the weak. Furthermore, the Demon Lords in the Demonic Path kill each other all day long. In fact, in the Demonic Path, it's normal for Demonic cultivators to kill Demonic cultivators. Back then, the Demonic Realm was so vast it was practically endless. Many Demonic cultivators born in the Demonic Path had never seen a righteous cultivator, so they only had Demonic cultivators to kill, and they couldn't even touch the righteous path. At that time, there were many more Demonic cultivators with merit."

"Then these demonic cultivators should actually be considered on the side of righteousness. They are good people who stop killing by killing."

The evil side is the evil side, and the righteous side is the righteous side. Although the two are often reversed in the stories, in reality, they should still be clearly divided.

However, just these few words of theirs cannot make any distinction.

Rong You took a fried skewer.

"I still think hot pot is more delicious. I'll make hot pot tomorrow."
