Yuanjing agreed when the demon—oh, no, the system—offered him the opportunity.

Chapter 260

One of the brother and sister left in a carriage, and the other walked away in another direction. After both of them disappeared, Yuan Jingcai and Ji Jinghuai walked out from the corner.

"They are..." Ji Jinghuai couldn't wait to know the answer. He had to admit that the girl was indeed very attractive. It was too easy for her to seduce a scholar like Ding Laosan who was born in a grassroots family and had not seen much of the world.

Yuan Jingzhi nodded: "Both are monsters, one is a flower monster, the other is a yellow bird monster. Both monsters are rare. At present, the auras of the two monsters are relatively pure."

Ji Jinghuai felt as if his eyes had been opened. He often heard stories about fox spirits and beautiful ghosts, but this was the first time he had heard of flower demons and yellow bird demons. Oh, and there was also a snake demon doctor who liked to treat people. It was true that reading thousands of books was not as good as traveling thousands of miles.

No matter how many books on ghosts and monsters he read, it was not as good as what he saw by following Taoist Priest Yuan Jing. If it were not for Taoist Priest Yuan Jing, he would not be able to recognize the identities of these monsters if he collided head-on.

Yuan Jing said: "Let's go first and find a chance to contact the flower demon."

"Okay." Ji Jinghuai was very interested. "I know where this flower demon often appears." His men did not waste their time to find out so much information.

On the way out of the Wei residence, Ji Jinghuai asked curiously, "The flower demon's surname is Wei. Could it be that his true form is Wei Zi? How does he fare better than the young Taoist priest?"

Yuan Jing smiled and said, "It is indeed Peony Wei Zi. This is the first time I have encountered a flower demon that has transformed into a man, and a Peony flower demon at that. It seems that he has been practicing for quite some time. However, due to the limitations of his original body, it is difficult for him to be my opponent if he fights alone."

"Then I'm relieved." What is he relieved about? Of course, he was relieved to follow Yuan Jing and watch the show. Ji Jinghuai shook his folding fan proudly.

The two came to a busy area of the county town, found a teahouse, sat down to drink tea and have snacks. After waiting for a while, they saw the flower demon and two scholars coming to the teahouse. This time, Yuan Jing did not hide his tracks, but deliberately exposed himself in front of the flower demon. When the flower demon and the scholar entered the private room upstairs of the teahouse together, they saw two people at the corner of the stairs, one of whom was Yuan Jing dressed as a Taoist priest.

Yuan Jing's gaze deliberately stayed on the flower demon for a moment before moving away, but in that moment, the flower demon's body obviously stiffened. He didn't expect to meet a Taoist priest with cultivation in this county town.

As for the other Taoists, of course he had seen them before. It was because of this that he felt at ease and bold to stay in this county town, because one of the two Taoists was fake, and the other had too shallow a cultivation base and was too weak to even detect the demonic aura on him.

But the gaze that just rested on him made him realize that the other party had seen through his identity.

With this thought in mind, the flower demon was always distracted when chatting with the two scholars in the following time. The two scholars were very considerate of the flower demon and thought that he was tired from something at home, so they sat for a while and then left.

The flower demon was left alone in the private room, holding a tea bowl, wondering what she was thinking. When she raised her head, she saw the young Taoist priest and Ji Jinghuai standing at the door.

Yuan Jing performed a Taoist ceremony and said, "I wonder if I can have a talk with Master Wei?"

The flower demon's name was Wei Mo. He couldn't do anything when the other party didn't show hostility. He could only greet them with a vacant hand gesture and invite them in: "Please come in, Taoist Yuan, you are too polite."

The door of the private room was closed at the back. Ji Jinghuai knew that the flower demon could not beat Yuan Jing, so he admired the flower demon calmly. Peony is a natural beauty, but looking at this peony demon now, he actually has a kind of wind and flowing charm, but it is covered by another kind of scholarly air. Ji Jinghuai couldn't help but wonder if this peony demon had been raised by a scholar before, so he cultivated such a temperament.

After Wei Mo asked the two to sit down, he spoke first: "I wonder what Taoist Yuan wants to talk to me about? I don't think I have done anything that crosses the line."

Yuan Jing looked at him appreciatively and said, "Yes, Master Wei has a very positive aura, and he often gives medicine to the people when he opened a herbal medicine shop, so he has accumulated some merits. Master Wei, don't worry, my master has taught me that there are good monsters and bad monsters, just like people, there are good people and bad people. I will not kill them indiscriminately."

Wei Mo almost couldn't hold back his expression, and he didn't know whether he should be relieved by Yuan Jing's words. Although Yuan Jing's age was not even a fraction of his, he felt a sense of threat from Yuan Jing, and thought to himself, could it be that he had encountered an old monster in the world of cultivation? It's not that there are no Taoists who have experienced rejuvenation for various reasons.

"Then Taoist Yuan came to see me..." Wei Mo thought, is it as simple as just talking to him?

Ji Jinghuai sat on the side, fanning himself, and listened to Yuan Jing's communication with the flower demon with a smile on his face the whole time. He was just a spectator, and even wondered whether he should write a book in the future to record these stories about spirits and monsters.

Yuan Jing said, "I have been to the herbal medicine shop and found out the identity of the doctor in the shop. I also went to the vicinity of Wei's house and saw Master Wei's brother and sister leaving home. Then I waited for Master Wei in this teahouse."

At this point, Wei Mo's heart was lifted again. Which person or monster likes to be stared at? He had already found out everything about him before meeting him.

Yuan Jing continued, "I believe in the way that Master Wei and the Green Snake Doctor act, but I don't believe in your sister. She is in danger now."

"What happened to Huang Li?" Wei Mo was shocked.

"Yesterday we passed by a village and watched a fake Taoist priest perform a fake trick and rescue a woman who was almost slandered as a demon. That woman was Ding Qishan's wife. The reason why the Ding family did this was because Ding Qishan climbed up another high branch and wanted to make room for his wife for another woman who was more to his liking. Doesn't Master Wei know what your sister is doing?"

Wei Mo knocked over the tea bowl in his hand, spilling the tea. He said in disbelief, "Ding Qishan wants to harm his wife? I thought he would just divorce her."

"And then marry your sister?"

Wei Mo hurriedly picked up the tea bowl, a little afraid to look at the Taoist priest Yuan Jing, because he knew very well why humans and monsters could not be together. He had actually advised his sister, but his sister said that as long as she did not have sex with Ding Qishan, she would not absorb the yang energy from Ding Qishan's body.

Seeing Wei Mo's reaction, Yuan Jing and Ji Jinghuai both realized that this flower demon was very naive. He thought that if Ding Qishan wanted to marry his sister, he just needed to divorce his previous wife. But he didn't know that Ding Qishan was very proud and couldn't do such a thing as abandoning his first wife, especially since his first wife's father was his enlightenment mentor and had done him a great favor. If he decided to divorce his wife, he would definitely be despised by other literati.

Therefore, Yang was doomed to die. Only her death would not affect Ding Qishan's reputation and allow Ding Qishan to successfully marry a more satisfactory beauty. The Ding family saw that Wei Mo's background could help Ding Qishan become successful and allow the Ding family to live a good life, so they bribed the fake Taoist priest to kill Yang.

Ji Jinghuai kindly explained the whole thing to Wei Mo, and Wei Mo became even more flustered after listening to it. He didn't mean to kill anyone at all, but now because of Huang Li's actions, Ding Qishan's first wife was almost killed. He didn't expect Ding Qishan and the Ding family to be such people. He had misjudged them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about this. I will go back and try to dissuade my sister from associating with Ding Qishan anymore."

"Will your sister listen to you?" Yuan Jing asked curiously. What Wei Mo couldn't see, couldn't the Yellow Bird Demon see it either? He said he wouldn't have sex with Ding Qishan, but the demonic aura on Ding Lao San showed that they were very close. It was only a matter of time before they could develop to that point.

Wei Mo said seriously, "I will try my best to persuade her. If she doesn't listen, then we can't be brother and sister. I believe that the Taoist priest already knows our true forms. I grew up in the countryside before being transplanted into a human courtyard. At that time, Huang Li often came to talk to me. After we changed our forms, we didn't expect to meet again, so we just stayed in this world together as brother and sister."

Such a Wei Mo made Ji Jinghuai believe that he was a good demon with a very simple personality. Although his values were sometimes a little problematic, he could at least pull himself together. However, he suspected that his sister might not be the same as Wei Mo. Of course, he could see what Yuan Jing could think of.

Wei Mo spoke to Yuan Jing in fear for a while, then sent Yuan Jing and Ji Jinghuai away. Before leaving, Yuan Jing left a Taoist talisman for him, telling him that if anything happened, he could use the talisman to inform him and he would come in time. Wei Mo was very grateful, and he also believed that this young Taoist priest was a good one who would not kill monsters and steal their inner elixir at will. This way, he finally didn't have to move to another place.

After leaving Wei Mo, Ji Jinghuai finally got his fill and saw a real fairy, a peony flower fairy.

But a new thought came to his mind: "It would be great if I could see Wei Mo's true form. The peony would surely bloom beautifully."

The peonies bloomed by the Peony Fairy are definitely more charming and lively than other peonies.

Yuan Jing looked at him speechlessly. This man really had too many demands: "If you have the ability to convince Wei Mo, you can fulfill this wish."

Ji Jinghuai quickly shook his head: "Forget it, I'm just thinking about it."

No matter how beautiful she is, she is still a demon. Just let her accompany Yuan Jing to see her. Why let him meet her alone? Forget it. He is timid.

On the other side, Wei Mo went to the herbal medicine shop and had a conversation with the Snake Demon Doctor. The Snake Demon Doctor was a little scared. He didn't expect that the young Taoist priest who came to buy herbs could really see his true form. Fortunately, the young Taoist priest didn't want to attack him and Wei Mo.

Wei Mo talked about Huang Li again. Doctor Qingshe frowned and said, "Actually, I don't agree with Huang Li getting too close to that scholar. Besides, that scholar has a wife. If you can persuade her, you should try your best to persuade Huang Li not to associate with such a person of bad character."

They walked among the people, carefully hiding their identities, and naturally came into contact with all kinds of people.

Wei Mo nodded: "I will, Qingli, I don't want Huang Li to get into trouble either. After all, although the Taoist priest looks young, I think he is very dangerous."

"Humans are different from us monsters. A dozen years of practice can equal hundreds of years of practice for us. Humans are more blessed than monsters." Qing Li said enviously, "If you can persuade them, then persuade them. If you really can't persuade them, then there is nothing you can do."

Compared to Wei Mo, Qingli actually has spent more time with Huang Li. Compared to Huang Li, he prefers to interact with Wei Mo because Wei Mo is simpler than Huang Li, because Wei Mo really just likes to write poetry. If it weren't for his identity as a monster, Wei Mo might have passed the imperial examination.

Qingli knew that the human being who was looking after Wei Mo was a very talented academy professor in the human world. Wei Mo was greatly influenced by him, and probably because of that, he always had a special liking for those scholars.

Wei Mo nodded and said, "Huang Li should listen to me. She probably didn't expect that she almost killed someone. The wicked ones are Ding Qishan and the Ding family."

Qingli patted Wei Mo's shoulder, hoping that it was true.

Wei Mo returned to Wei's house and waited until night before Huang Li came back. He stopped Huang Li when she was about to go back to her room.

"Huang Li, did you go to see Ding Qishan today? How is he doing?"

Huang Li was in a very good mood, and said with great joy: "Brother, Ding Lang and his wife are no longer related. Brother, when do you think Ding Lang and I should get married? Brother, I can marry Ding Lang now."

Wei Mo's mood sank. Did Huang Li like Ding Qishan so much? He asked, "Did you know that Ding Qishan's wife was almost killed by the Ding family?"

Huang Li's excited expression subsided for a moment: "That doesn't mean he's not dead."

"But the Ding family wants to kill her. They are not good people. I don't want you to continue associating with the Ding family. It's best to break off contact with Ding Qishan. He is a bad person. His father-in-law has been kind to him. Without his father-in-law, Ding Qishan would not be where he is today. But he and his family want to kill his wife."

"Wei Mo, what's wrong with you? Why do you stand on the side of a human woman and blame me, your sister? Yes, yes, but Ding Lang likes me and I like Ding Lang too. Besides, what does how the Ding family does things have to do with Ding Lang? It's Ding Lang who will marry me in the future, not the Ding family. Brother, after we get married, Ding Lang will move in with us. Won't you be able to discuss academic matters with Ding Lang every day?" Huang Li imagined the future.

Wei Mo said unhappily: "Are you really so obsessed?"

Huang Li was also unhappy: "Wei Mo, do you really want to break up Ding Lang and me? This is the first time I fall in love with someone, I can't give up Ding Lang."

"Then you should move out. People with different ideals cannot work together. Our relationship as brother and sister ends here." Wei Mo discovered that Huang Li had different ideas from him. Moreover, she wanted Ding Qishan to move in. Wei Mo couldn't bear the thought of living with such a bad person day and night.

"Okay, let's break up. Do you think I'm willing to live with you?" Huang Li said angrily. She was obviously a flower demon, but she acted like a nerd. She was not as interesting and could not make people happy as Ding Lang.

Huang Li moved out of Wei's house that night. Qingli also knew about it. Yuan Jing also received the news. The brother and sister had a falling out.
