"Can."
Baili Chengfeng blinked twice.
He just wanted to find out the cause of his mentor's death and didn't care who said it.
Lin Jun shouted outside the door: "Wu Dan."
A dark figure then emerged from the tightly closed palace door. Wu Dan, who was standing outside, bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, what can I do for you?"
"Go and..."
Lin Jun frowned slightly and began to think.
Thinking of the Sword Master Duan Chuan's violent temper during the day, who was obviously unreliable, and the Medical Saint Bai Ziyi who looked weak and could be bullied, he really disliked him.
"Go and invite the Demon Lord."
Lin Jun decisively chose Fan Wuyin.
Judging from the reactions of his fellow disciples during the day, Fan Wuyin is the one who loves to laugh and talk a lot, so he should be able to answer Baili Chengfeng's questions.
"yes."
Wu Dan retreated immediately.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, I have invited the Demon Lord here."
"Um."
"Master Demon, please come in."
As the palace door opened, Fan Wuyin, wearing crimson armor, strode in.
He glanced at Lin Jun and Baili Chengfeng, who were sitting at the table in the room, and asked with a smile, "Big Brother, what brings you to me so late at night?"
Lin Jun gestured for Fan Wuyin to look at Baili Chengfeng who was sitting beside him. "It's not me who's looking for you. It's this Baili Territory Lord who wants to ask you something."
"Oh? Lord Baili, I've long heard of your great name!"
Fan Wuyin's eyes flashed with interest. He sat directly across from Baili Chengfeng and said with a casual smile, "I heard that your cultivation has already reached its peak. You can ascend at any time if you want. You are so anxious to find me. Could it be that you want to teach me some of your ascension experience before you ascend?"
Baili Chengfeng coughed lightly and said honestly, "That's not the case. I just want to ask how your master died."
Fan Wuyin's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in an unhappy tone, "Even though our master committed many evil deeds in her lifetime, she has been dead for thousands of years now. Her sins are naturally wiped out. She shouldn't be held captive until now!"
Baili Chengfeng smiled apologetically, "I think you've misunderstood, Demon Lord. I don't mean to condemn Venerable Jiang Deng. To be honest, Venerable Jiang Deng was kind to me when she was alive. I want to find out the cause of her death, as a way of showing my filial piety to her."
A favor?
Fan Wuyin looked Baili Chengfeng up and down.
Baili Chengfeng rarely appeared in the public eye before, not to mention that he was the Demon Lord, so naturally he had never seen Baili Chengfeng.
Looking at Baili Chengfeng's face so closely at this moment, which was almost unfairly good-looking, another face couldn't help but appear in Fan Wuyin's mind, and the two overlapped.
"You! You are the child on the top of the snowy mountain in the ancient spiritual realm!"
Fan Wuyin suddenly understood and was horrified beyond words.
Thousands of years ago, they followed their master to the top of a snowy mountain in the ancient spiritual realm to collect spiritual herbs, and they met a naked child on the top of the mountain.
At that time, the child was curled up in the snow, seemingly frozen unconscious.
After the master rescued the child, he learned that the child had no father or mother, and he felt pity for him. He planned to accept the child as his disciple and take the child away.
Several of his fellow disciples, led by him, really didn't want to see their master picking up children from his home again, so they began to persuade him, and he was the one who spoke the most.
The master asked the child if he wanted to stay. The child looked at the master with a confused face. He hid behind the master and nodded continuously. The child followed his example and nodded foolishly.
In the end, the master only gave the child a piece of clothing to cover his body, taught him a few exercises, and then took his fellow disciples away after collecting the elixirs.
Who would have thought... hundreds of years later, that naive child would actually become the strongest person in the world of immortal cultivation!
Is it really that outrageous?
"Demon Lord..."
Although it was Fan Wuyin who prevented him from leaving with his mentor that day, Baili Chengfeng did not resent him for this. Instead, he patiently explained, "Venerable Jiang Deng once taught me the skills, so he can naturally be considered my mentor. I want to find out the cause of my mentor's death. Shouldn't that be a problem?"
Fan Wuyin was silent.
Now, he is in a dilemma.
If he told the truth, he would probably get beaten. If he lied, the child he had once been was already a top expert, so he shouldn't be as easy to fool as before.
Thinking of this, Fan Wuyin turned his head to look at Lin Jun, his scarlet eyes full of blame, and he directly conveyed his voice to Lin Jun.
"Big Brother, wasn't it you who orchestrated Master's death? Now, you've invited this great god here. Aren't you setting me up to be a scapegoat?"
Lin Jun was confused after hearing this.
That's not possible, is it? In his previous life, he actually betrayed his master and ancestors?
Baili Chengfeng urged, "Demon Lord, can you speak now?"
Fan Wuyin said in a deep voice: "Since we are all not outsiders, then I will not hide it. In fact, the death of Master..."
Boom!
A dull voice sounded.
The table shook and a person fell onto the table out of thin air.
She was wearing a green dress. She was Jiang Deng, who was beaten half to death by the demon king Leng Chaosheng during the day.
"hiss……"
Jiang Deng cried out in pain. Her injuries had not yet healed fully, and now they were even worse.
Is this Thousand Mile Talisman so ineffective? They couldn't even choose a good spot to land.
Complaining in his heart, Jiang Deng slowly raised his head, and then looked at the three people sitting around the table.
“…”
Jiang Deng broke out in a cold sweat.
She originally thought that the fifth disciple must be alone in the room at this late hour.
Who would have thought that Lin Jun and Baili Chengfeng would be in the room?
Jiang Deng scratched his head and said with an awkward smile, "Hahaha...what a coincidence, you guys are still up playing Landlord so late at night?"
Lin Jun stared at Jiang Deng with a gradually cold look in his eyes. "Why did you appear in my bedroom? Are you planning to assassinate me?"
Jiang Deng was shocked and said, "Hey? I didn't come here to see you, so why am I in your bedroom?"
"Heh," Fan Wuyin chuckled softly, "You still have some residual talisman power in you... I guess you used the Thousand Mile Talisman I gave you? What a waste."
Jiang Deng: “…”
waste?
That’s not what the fifth disciple said when he gave her the thing!
Although he was very dissatisfied with the words of his fifth disciple, but thinking that he still had to use Fan Wuyin, Jiang Deng could only grit his teeth and force a smile.
"Demon Lord, aren't the things you gave me meant to be used? I came to you specially, aren't you happy?"
"Happy, of course I'm happy!"
Fan Wuyin glanced at Baili Chengfeng, who was still waiting for his answer, and said quickly, "Lord Baili, look, I have an appointment with this beauty, so I won't stay any longer. Farewell!"
As he spoke, Fan Wuyin quickly grabbed Jiang Deng's arm and quickly left Lin Jun's bedroom, fearing that Baili Chengfeng in the room would continue to question him about his master's death.
Inside the room, the remaining two people, Baili Chengfeng and Lin Jun, stared at each other.
