Chapter 117 The Cunning Fox Demon is Imprisoned by the Pure-Hearted Taoist Priest 31
He stammered for a long time, his face turning as red as a monkey's bottom from holding it in.
Finally, with her head bowed and eyes closed in shame and indignation, she said, "Junior Uncle, we want...we want you to become the Abbot of Xingyue Temple!"
After saying the first sentence, it seemed less difficult to talk about the rest.
“Junior Uncle, Grandmaster, Master and Senior Brother are all dead. During this trip to Black Cloud City, most of our Xingyue Sect disciples were killed or injured. Now, only a few of us and the younger junior brothers and sisters who stayed on the mountain remain.”
"Now that Xingyue Temple has lost its abbot, and we are not strong enough to support it, what's more, Xingyue Temple has become a thorn in the side of various sects. If we don't have a strong abbot, Xingyue Temple may disappear."
“I know it’s a bit of a stretch to let Junior Uncle take on the role of Abbot at this time, but Xingyue Temple is, after all, your home, Junior Uncle, so we…”
Yu Sheng suddenly interrupted him, "I remember... most of the disciples of Xingyue Temple aren't homeless, are they?"
"Since you can't even protect Xingyue Temple, why don't you go home? Why do you insist on making Yunheng the so-called abbot?"
"Although you say that this is a stretch for Yunheng, aren't you implying that you are morally blackmailing him so that he will clean up your mess?"
He was like a deflated balloon, feeling both ashamed and annoyed after Yu Sheng exposed his little secret.
He was ashamed because he knew he had handled the matter poorly, and annoyed because Yu Sheng had taken it upon herself to make decisions for Yun Heng and had exposed his little scheme.
But he also knew that Yu Sheng's words meant Yun Heng's meaning.
However, he was somewhat unwilling to accept it.
Unwilling to slink home like this, unwilling to have his path of cultivation cut off.
These remaining disciples of the Star Moon Temple are not young anymore, and they are well-known in various sects. Now that such a thing has happened, if they were to switch to another sect, no one would take them in.
But they didn't want to either.
Why is it that when Xingyue Temple was in its heyday, all the sects praised it to the skies, but when it fell into decline, they didn't even offer any help; it was a miracle if they didn't kick it while it was down?
Those people were involved, so why were they able to get away unscathed?
But why is the Star and Moon Temple the only one that doesn't work?
He was resentful, but in order to get Yunheng to come out and protect Xingyue Temple, he had no choice but to endure it.
Yunheng sighed, "This is a calamity for Xingyue Temple. I will not become the abbot. You all have your own families, so go home."
“I will not abandon those disciples who have nowhere to go.”
"Alright, you should all go home now. Your families must be worried about what has happened at Xingyue Temple."
Yunheng was ultimately a little soft-hearted.
But the disciples weren't grateful to him; instead, they glared at him angrily, saying, "If you're not going to care, then don't care! Why all the high-sounding words!"
Several disciples angrily threw down their peach wood swords, shouting, "Wouldn't it be better if I went home and inherited the family business?"
"That's right, that's right."
Only a few people hesitated for a long time before leaving dejectedly.
This also includes Shi Xiong's second apprentice.
Seeing that most of the people had left, Yu Sheng and the others also left through the exit.
Before leaving, Yu Sheng burned everything in the cave, including the corpses inside.
The billowing black smoke spread out in all directions, and the people in the city pointed and whispered about it.
"Didn't they say there was treasure? Why are they all so downcast?"
"Who says otherwise? They're all injured. Looks like quite a few people have died this time!"
"Sigh...why did they have to do this!"
Yu Sheng and Yun Heng returned to the courtyard that Hu Luo had lent them, while Lin Muhan, Yan Anhuai, and his master followed silently behind them.
Throughout the journey, Yan Anhuai remained quiet and did not speak.
Every time Lin Muhan approached him, he forcefully avoided her.
Master Yan Anhuai became the sandwich between the two of them.
888 glanced at this person, then at that person, and sighed softly, "This atmosphere is really scary~"
As it spoke, it shook its little body.
Upon arriving at Hu Luo's house, Lin Muhan blocked Yan Anhuai's path as he tried to escape. "Anhuai, let me explain..."
Yan Anhuai covered his ears, not wanting to hear him speak.
Lin Muhan restrained his hand, raised it above his head, and held him tightly in her arms.
"Lin Muhan, let go!"
"Unless you, An Huai, let me finish what I have to say."
Yan Anhuai looked to his dear master for help, but his master was too busy drinking to see his pleading look.
He glared resentfully at his unreliable master, then looked at Yun Heng and Yu Sheng.
The two men shrugged, indicating that they were unable to help.
Before Yan Anhuai could react, Lin Muhan continued, "Back then, I was ambushed by Lin Mingji and almost died. After escaping the demon clan, I fell into a coma due to severe injuries, and then you saved me."
“I know it’s wrong to hide my identity, but I had no choice. You’re terrified of snakes, and I was afraid you’d hate me because of it, so I secretly kept it a secret.”
"Later, I disguised myself as a human and stayed by your side, only thinking of repaying your life-saving grace, but later..."
"I've found myself having different feelings for you."
What are these different thoughts?
Yan Anhuai's expression froze.
When he saw Lin Muhan glancing at Yu Sheng and the other person repeatedly, he understood what Lin Muhan was thinking.
He... he actually developed feelings for me?!
Yan Anhuai found it unbelievable.
Recalling Yu Sheng's probing words to him, he finally understood why Yu Sheng had asked him if he liked the snake race.
It turns out that Lin Muhan is a member of the snake clan.
He still likes himself...
In that instant, Yan Anhuai's mind was in complete chaos.
He didn't understand what the problem was.
How did Lin Muhan fall in love with me?
A flash of inspiration struck Yan Anhuai, and he suddenly remembered something his master had said unintentionally before.
He remembered that his good master said he had the constitution to attract demon kings.
At that time, he only knew that Yu Sheng was the Demon King, so who else could be the second Demon King beside him besides Lin Muhan?
Therefore, his master knew from the beginning that Lin Muhan was the Demon King.
She might also be aware of Lin Muhan's feelings for her.
Yan Anhuai's expression twisted for a moment.
So, he was the only one kept in the dark?
"An Huai, I truly love you. Even if you don't like me, could you please not hate me?"
Lin Muhan whispered, loosening the grip on Yan Anhuai.
Taking this opportunity, Yan Anhuai broke free from his embrace.
Seeing Lin Muhan's dejected expression, Yan Anhuai's heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, he found Lin Muhan's humble appearance somewhat pitiful.
