"That fox demon left something on Xu Shan, sucking his energy day and night. Did you know that this would shorten his lifespan, or did you know but not care?"
Ning Wan's words were like a bolt from the blue, temporarily stopping those who wanted to speak up for Qing Niang.
The four-tailed fox froze obviously, its tail, which had been swaying slightly, stopped moving. Its eyes dimmed a little, and it remained silent once again.
Ning Wan sighed slightly and continued, "Or did you mean that when you said you didn't want to tell him, you actually couldn't tell him?"
"I don't know what kind of deal you made with that fox demon that made you keep silent about this matter, but everyone in Chongtou Village knows that you were seriously ill and nearly died a few months ago."
"That's when the fox demon came to you, right?"
Xu Shan was truly sincere towards Qingniang. He spent a lot of money on medicine alone and had to go to various houses in the village for this purpose.
Although Qingniang did not respond, the surprise in her fox eyes was genuine, and the others who heard this also felt as if the clouds had parted and the sky was bright.
"I see!"
Everyone who was listening to Ning Wan's analysis was instantly awakened by Yuan Ce's exclamation.
Yuan Ce was no longer concerned with anything else at this point. It was as if he had discovered some great secret and couldn't wait to reveal it: "So, your deal with that fox demon was because the fox demon took advantage of your serious illness to sneak in?"
After hearing Yuan Ce's answer, some of the other disciples discussed it in groups of three or four, while others thought about it in private.
Qingniang, who was originally a little nervous, breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Ning Wan waved her hand slightly, and the room suddenly became quiet again.
"You were the one who proposed the deal?"
Qingniang's heart beat faster and she didn't dare to look Ning Wan in the eye.
"That fox demon is, after all, a fox that has been cultivating for four hundred years. If it really wanted your body, it wouldn't have needed to resort to such troublesome methods as taking advantage of your weakness."
"Perhaps you have something it wants?"
Ning Wan really couldn't figure out the fox demon's motives, so she began to test it slowly.
——"...Master, you are indeed a Master. I just ask for your forgiveness. I have said everything I should say. Please do not ask about anything that should not be said."
"If the immortal masters are afraid that I will cause trouble, they can just kill me and I will not say anything."
