Chongwu stood before Dou Shen and said coldly, "Elder Mei, I'd like to ask you what you intend to do?"

Xuan Mei said in a sweet voice, "Elder Wang, as you know, Elder Chi has now betrayed the Mo Pavilion. In order to prevent him from harming us in the future, we must kill him today."

Chongwu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, word by word, "Who... told you... to... kill... him..."

Xuan Mei felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss when Chong Wu's cold gaze swept over her, and she couldn't help but shiver. But remembering that she had a reason, she raised her head again, looked at Chong Wu, and said:

"If I hadn't sprinkled the Black Iris Powder on the Twin Lotuses beforehand and used the Black Butterfly to track them, he would have succeeded! And you're still protecting him. He might betray the Ink Pavilion this time, but next time it could be the Demon Palace, and the time after that it could be the Demon Realm!"

Xuan Mei became increasingly convinced of her own justification. Moreover, the twin lotus blossoms had been found thanks to her, so she grew even more emboldened, and, ignoring Chong Wu standing before Dou Shen, she even considered making a move…

"Xuan Mei!" Chong Wu shouted coldly, no longer calling her "Elder Mei" but directly addressing her by her real name.

A cold wind swept through the dark, enclosed room, rustling softly in the semi-enclosed space.

Chongwu looked at Xuanmei, who was itching to fight, and said disdainfully, "Xuanmei, are you sure you want to fight me?"

Xuan Mei slightly clenched her fingers and said, "Elder Wang, I never intended to fight you. From beginning to end, I, Xuan Mei, only wanted the traitors who betrayed our Mo Pavilion to be punished."

Chongwu sneered, looking at Xuanmei who had slightly lowered her attack, and said, "Is this what you call betraying the Mo Pavilion? If you say that, doesn't that mean you've also betrayed the Mo Pavilion?"

Xuan Mei asked in confusion, "Me? How did I betray the Mo Pavilion?"

Chongwu said "Oh," and then said, "Elder Mei, you seem to have forgotten the rules of the Ink Pavilion..."

The first rule of the Ink Pavilion is to abide by the rules of the Ink Pavilion.

The second rule is that anyone who violates the rules of the Ink Pavilion shall be handed over to the Ink Pavilion for processing, and no one else shall interfere without authorization...

Xuan Mei's "acting first and reporting later" violated the rules of the Mo Pavilion.

Even if Dou Shen is at fault, it should be handled by the Mo Pavilion. What right does Xuan Mei have to do that?

Xuan Mei was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had miscalculated...

He failed to kill Dou Shen before Chongwu arrived.

She withdrew her attack and said with a smile, "Elder Wang, it was my oversight. I'll leave this place to you now and take my leave." With that, she left the secret chamber.

The secret room fell silent again, leaving only Dou Shen and Chong Wu.

Chongwu stepped forward and said slowly, "Come back with me."

Dou Shen nodded, saying nothing more. Perhaps knowing that anything he said would be useless at this point, he followed Chong Wu, and the two left the secret chamber one after the other…

The place where we agreed to meet.

Meanwhile, the Flower Goddess waited for a long time at the place where she had agreed to meet Dou Shen, but Dou Shen did not return. She guessed that something must have happened to Dou Shen.

There's no point in staying in the demon realm any longer, so I'll have to return to the realm of gods first.

The realm of gods, the lotus realm.

"Old man, who are you looking for?" The two children, one big and one small, looked at the old man with a sage-like appearance and chuckled.

"You little brats, don't be so disrespectful! I am an immortal from Liuyun Peak." Despite being called "old man," the Immortal Healer still smiled and said.

What is Liuyun Peak?

What is an immortal?

The children's bewildered eyes revealed their ignorance; if you didn't look closely, you would definitely think they genuinely didn't know.

Who was this healer? Seeing them teasing him, he didn't expose them. Instead, he took out a pill from his hand and coaxed them, "Aren't you curious about what this is?"

The two children shook their heads; who would want food if it weren't for it?

The healer was speechless.

He just wanted to find a well-behaved apprentice, but who knew he'd run into these two little rascals right away...

The Flower Goddess returned to the Lotus Realm and saw this scene. She smiled without saying a word.
