Chapter 56 I Should Have Killed Her
Zhao Xue stood there, bewildered.
Tao Zi was not surprised by his reaction. Almost everyone regarded the devil as the representative of evil. Of course, she was actually similar, but not too extreme.
"Then..." He said hesitantly, "Next time you see a demon, talk to him first?"
Hearing this, she pressed her forehead. This junior brother's reaction... was really beyond her expectations.
The master slammed the table and cursed, "What are you talking about? The weather? Love? Then how about holding hands at the end?"
Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment before he said weakly, "Master, didn't you say that demons are called demons because of what they do? Then shouldn't I talk to him first and make sure he's good or bad before taking action?"
Tao Zi pressed her forehead harder and harder. She shouldn't have brought up this topic. Instead, she should have found an opportunity to teach slowly when she met other demons. No matter how much she said, it would not be as useful as personal experience.
The master glared and scolded, "Why do people think demons are evil? That's because most demons are evil. You can't gamble your life on something that's unlikely to exist. Ah Zi told you that Widow Li was a kind person, but that's because Widow Li was really good to you before. But what about other demons? Why did you take the risk and give them a chance? Did they save your life or were they your lovers?"
Tao Zi concluded the conversation succinctly: "Xiao Xue, just remember that most demons are not good, but when analyzing things, you can't just focus on the demon cultivator's identity."
He wanted to say something else, but she sighed and shut him up with just one sentence: "Sister Li, to you, is her identity as a demon cultivator more important, or is she herself more important?"
Zhao Xue sat there silently and said nothing more.
She stood up to clear the dishes, and the master became anxious again: "Azi, the master is not full yet!"
Tao Zi's mouth twitched, and she silently put down the food. Although she had not yet practiced fasting during the Foundation Establishment Stage, the amount of food she needed shouldn't be that large, right?
She sat aside again, ready to clean up last.
Without even looking up, the master said, "Azi, go back and rest first. Xijing will clean up when she gets back. If you don't let her clean up, she'll probably come up with something else."
Tao Zi answered yes and stood up to leave. Before leaving, she heard her master sigh and say, "What kind of life am I having? I've accepted four disciples, one is self-destructive, one is lustful, one is mentally retarded, and the other is stingy. What kind of disciples are these!"
Zhao Xue's doubtful voice rang out: "Master, is Senior Sister self-harming?"
"You know you're mentally retarded. That's good. You can be saved."
Tao Zi:......
She returned to her room and practiced again despite her injured body.
As expected, the wound on her body opened again. She casually wrapped it with a rag. It would scar soon anyway, so there was no need to worry too much.
After bandaging the wound, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, and as if she remembered something, she walked to the mirror and looked at herself carefully.
This face... is too conspicuous.
She reached out and traced the curves of her face in the mirror, her brows furrowed involuntarily.
Although no one ever dared to judge her appearance in front of her, it did not prevent her from knowing that she was extremely beautiful.
At the same time, she also knew that this face was too conspicuous and too easy to be noticed, which was not a good thing for her or the Yisan Sect.
Tao Zi took out a dagger from his waist, held it in his palm and played with it for a long time, occasionally pointing it at himself in the mirror, as if thinking about something.
The inner demon suddenly appeared behind her and asked, "What are you going to do?"
She asked as if jokingly, "Tell me, if I'm disfigured, will they recognize me?"
The inner demon rolled his eyes and said, "Are you sick? If you're afraid of bringing trouble to the Yisan Sect, then just kill the people from the Minglan Sect and everything will be fine, right?"
Tao Zi put away the dagger, glanced at it, and said, "That's easy for you to say. My current strength is only enough to play with some young disciples in the Body Refining Stage."
"Become a demon. Once you become a demon, you will possess supreme power."
"You can go now."
The inner demon smiled and said slowly, "Then what do you want to do? As long as you are alive and in the Yisan Sect, you may cause trouble for them."
Tao Zi knocked on the table. She knew this very well. She had also thought about it. The best way would be to destroy the Minglan Sect and clear herself of the charges. But that was almost impossible. After all, the Minglan Sect had a Tianzun.
Those who could be called Celestial Venerables were all at the Divine Transformation stage or above. There were only three Celestial Venerables in the entire world of immortal cultivation, one each in the Sword Sect, the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the Ming Lan Sect. The prerequisite for destroying the Ming Lan Sect was to destroy the Qing Lan Celestial Venerable, a near-impossible feat.
It's really a headache.
The inner demon interrupted her thoughts: "What are you thinking about?"
Tao Zi explained it briefly, and it looked at her in surprise.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Tao Zi, have you noticed that you have changed a lot?"
Tao Zi looked at it in confusion. It came closer to her and said, "You actually wanted to destroy him. It's unbelievable."
She was stunned there, but quickly collected her thoughts: "I am Tao Zi now, not Yue Qiran. Yue Qiran's emotions should not appear on me."
The inner demon shrugged and laughed disapprovingly.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Her expression became stern, but she quickly recovered.
After opening the door, Han Yueshan was standing there, holding a fish in his hand. He was still alive, but dying.
Tao Zi took a look and said with a smile: "Did you catch it?"
Han Yueshan also smiled and nodded: "Yes, I caught it. It's worth all the efforts of the past few days."
His expression was very normal, so normal that it made people think that his original purpose was just to catch a live fish.
"Come in and talk."
Han Yueshan casually threw the fish onto the table and let it move around on its own.
Tao Zi said in a gentle tone: "What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
"No, I just heard that Senior Sister woke up, so I came to see her."
She didn't respond, but just looked at him quietly. He didn't say anything else either, but just watched the fish struggle. When the fish stopped moving, he woke up as if from a dream and said, "Senior Sister, I have to go back and rest too."
"Well, let's go back."
Han Yueshan walked to the door, and after struggling for a while, he stopped and turned around and said, "Senior Sister, I regret it."
"Um?"
"I should have killed her. That way, Sister Li wouldn't have been possessed by the devil."
Tao Zi looked at him and soothed him, "You didn't know about these things, and you didn't expect that she and Sister Li had such a past. These are not your fault."
Han Yueshan smiled bitterly: "It's not my fault, but I could have avoided it. I'm sorry, Sister Li."
Tao Zi sighed and asked, "What are you going to do about Xi Jing?"
"Take your time, there are many ways."
