"Could it be that this queen planted some mind-destroying poison in your former demon king?" Seeing Elder Yin so furious, a cultivator couldn't help but speculate, "Why else would Demon King Tang Tang lose his composure the moment he saw the queen?"
"Perhaps the queen's calm nature and indifference to fame and fortune are all pretended. She does this just to let you let down your guard. She is actually waiting for the opportunity to seize power and usurp the throne?" Another monk couldn't help but speculate.
"Alas, I think what you said is wrong. I think Elder Yin and others have sharp eyes and will never make a mistake in identifying a monster." Zhu Qingwu stood up to object to the speculations of the two cultivators in front.
"Why not? That's how it's written in the storybooks." One of the monks who was refuted replied somewhat unhappily, and then gave his reasoning: "Didn't Elder Yin say before? The Demon King's marriage is the beginning of all misfortunes."
"Anyway, I feel that things won't be that simple." Zhu Qingwu stood up angrily.
"Then give us a reason!" said another monk who was refuted.
"From Elder Yin's tone, the Queen shouldn't be that kind of person." Zhu Qingwu couldn't really come up with a convincing reason, but as she listened to the story, she could sense Elder Yin's respect for the Queen. So, the Queen definitely wasn't the kind of person the two cultivators described. "That's a woman's intuition. Do you understand intuition?"
Although he thought so in his heart, Zhu Qingwu had been spoiled since he was a child and he really couldn't organize words to explain his feelings.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, it's too frivolous to rely on intuition for such a thing." One of the female cultivators couldn't stand Zhu Qingwu's spoiled look any more, and looked at Jiang Yiming, who didn't care about anything, with disdain, and spoke.
In her eyes, Zhu Qingwu's way of doing things only invisibly lowered the image of female cultivators. Although she also felt that the truth of the matter was not what the two cultivators said, she could not find a reason in her heart, so she chose to keep silent. If someone asked her about it, she couldn't say it was because of "women's intuition", which would only make people feel stupid.
Sure enough, the next moment, many cultivators who heard Zhu Qingwu's words lowered their heads and laughed silently.
"As Elder Yin said earlier, there's a precedent in the history of the demon world where the queen can directly assume power after the demon king dies, so..." The others laughed secretly, while the cultivator who was refuted laughed out loud, "My instinct is that the queen is just playing the pig to eat the tiger. She actually wants to be the ruler of the demon world herself!"
The male cultivator who has been struggling in the world of immortal cultivation since childhood has seen many outstanding women. He will not underestimate the mind and ambition of any female cultivator.
Zhu Qingwu was stunned when she heard the male cultivator's guess, and she even began to doubt her intuition. Could it be that her vision was really too narrow?
Seeing Zhu Qingwu stunned by what he said, the male cultivator felt satisfied. He had no intention of making things difficult for her. Instead, he glanced at Jiang Yiming who was next to Zhu Qingwu. He then realized that Jiang Yiming was just smiling at Zhu Qingwu, and then he pulled him to sit down.
The male cultivator felt a pang in his heart, realizing that Jiang Yiming was using him as a sparring partner for Zhu Qingwu's growth, and the joy in his heart immediately disappeared.
When the cabin was about to fall into silence, Yan Baibai slowly stood up and respectfully bowed to the head elder Yin, and asked, "Senior, I would like to ask, is the queen happy after getting married?"
After saying this, Yan Baibai saw from the corner of his eye that Jueqing Buddhist's hands on the table suddenly tightened. It was obvious that he cared a lot about this issue.
When Elder Yin saw a few young monks suddenly start arguing, he didn't intervene, nor did he show any anger at being interrupted. He simply smiled faintly and waved his sleeves, and the broken teacup and spilled tea on the table disappeared. The middle-aged man next to him also skillfully refilled the pot with a new pot of tea.
After Yan Baibai asked this question, some cultivators were confused as to why she asked. Others, having realized something while listening to the story, naturally wanted to know the answer. So, everyone looked at Elder Yin quietly, waiting for his answer.
Elder Yin remained calm despite being stared at by everyone. He took a leisurely sip of tea before looking at Yan Baibai with a smile. He waved his hand to signal her to sit down. Instead of answering her question, he asked, "Why does the Saint ask this?"
"There are some things I don't understand, so I'm asking. If I get an answer, I'll be happy." Yan Baibai glanced in Zhu Qingwu's direction, smiled, and said, "I should be able to explain Fellow Daoist Zhu's intuition."
Yan Baibai learned the story of Tu Shanqing and Jueqing Fuzi through the secret realm in the study. In addition, after seeing the layout of the top of the Wanjie Mountain, she naturally knew that Tu Shanqing had no desire for power, and she also knew that she had never forgotten Jueqing Fuzi in her heart.
She asked this question because she wanted to find out the truth behind the matter as soon as possible. She could feel that Elder Yin was deliberately avoiding the part about Tu Shanqing when telling the story.
"Young man, your intuition is wrong. The former queen doesn't love power." Elder Yin glanced at the male cultivator, his eyes passing over the joyful Zhu Qingwu, then landing on Yan Baibai. He smiled and said, "This time, your women's intuition won. The queen..."
"Although her status in the demon world is second only to one person and above everyone else, I rarely see her truly smile."
"Alas—maybe…" Elder Yin sighed again, "There's no need to use the word 'maybe'. She's not happy."
"At first, we old guys didn't notice this problem, but the late king must have felt it, which is why he did so many extraordinary things. I think it was just to make the queen happy."
