Hearing this, Nangong Ling'er also had doubts. "Yao'er, I am willing to believe you emotionally, so I have been trying to find out what Miao Xiaodie is saying these past two days. But she can withstand the questioning, and everything seems to be fine. In short, if it is not you, it must be her. So I asked you to keep an eye on her, but... Senior Brother can't wait any longer."
Bai Yao pondered for a moment, "What does Junior Uncle want to say? Just say it!"
Nangong Ling'er narrowed her eyes slightly. "I want to ask you in detail what exactly happened to you after you were captured?"
Hearing this, Bai Yao knew that her junior uncle still didn't trust her, or rather, he didn't trust that she was still the same Bai Yao she used to be. She was smart enough to understand this, but in the current situation, all her resistance was meaningless. So she patiently recounted the details of what happened after Murong Zhi took her away.
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er seemed to have caught on to something. "You mean, you heard some conversations while you were unconscious? Can you remember them?"
"I can't remember who was speaking, but I vaguely remember someone saying that after the seal on my body is broken, I will naturally not be accepted by the human race. That's all I remember."
With just this one piece of information, Nangong Ling'er couldn't deduce anything. After thinking for a long time, she asked again, "Is there really nothing else?"
Bai Yao nodded.
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er changed the subject, "Yao'er, the demonic power in your body is becoming stronger and stronger. I have noticed that as your demonic markings deepen, your human aura is getting weaker and weaker. Perhaps... perhaps you really are of demonic blood."
Nangong Ling'er was unwilling to hide this from Bai Yao, but how could Bai Yao not guess? Of course, she knew her own body best. She lowered her head and said, "It's alright, Junior Martial Aunt, I don't care. As long as the Heavenly Sword Sect can still tolerate me, Yao'er is a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, whether human or demon."
Nangong Ling'er reached out and stroked her head, her eyes becoming deep. Suddenly, she said without any apparent reason, "Yao'er, actually, your junior uncle has a way to help you eliminate the demonic power in your body, but... in that case, you will no longer have your current power."
Bai Yao pondered for a moment, "Does Junior Uncle really have a way to turn Yao'er back into a normal person?"
Nangong Ling'er nodded. "Of course, but are you willing?"
When she asked this question, Nangong Ling'er stared intently at Bai Yao's face, seemingly observing her expression, but in reality, it was another test.
But Bai Yao wasn't so wary of Nangong Ling'er. She simply followed her heart and said, "Of course Yao'er is willing. Becoming a demon and being rejected by my family and friends in the Heavenly Sword Sect is not what Yao'er wants."
Nangong Ling'er carefully observed Bai Yao's expression. After a moment, she confirmed that Bai Yao was not lying and felt a little guilty. She then said, "However, this method is still too dangerous. Let's wait until your master wakes up before discussing it!"
After saying that, Nangong Ling'er got up to leave. Bai Yao noticed that Nangong Ling'er seemed to relax a lot when she left. She looked at her junior uncle with some unease and saw that her right hand was trembling, as if she had been tense for a long time.
Bai Yao inadvertently glanced at the spot where her junior uncle had just been sitting, and noticed a strange fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from it. Her expression immediately changed, and she silently thought to herself, "Could it be that my junior uncle had intended to kill me just now? That shouldn't be possible..."
Bai Yao didn't continue thinking about it. She chose to believe her junior uncle who had watched her grow up since childhood. In fact, Nangong Ling'er had indeed had a fleeting thought just now, but seeing Bai Yao's sincere eyes, she began to blame herself. She did suspect Bai Yao. Just as she said, if this matter wasn't Bai Yao, then it was Miao Xiaodie.
Clearly, there were no suspicious points about Miao Xiaodie, but there were too many suspicious points about Bai Yao, because no one could explain where her demonic power came from, so Nangong Ling'er couldn't help but suspect her.
When she came tonight, she had prepared many ways to test Bai Yao, and even thought that if Bai Yao really had a problem, she would rather kill her here.
But upon seeing Bai Yao's eyes, her heart softened, and she even abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to test him, feeling endless self-reproach.
...
Late at night, inside the sect leader's villa, Miao Xiaodie sat in meditation, but the scene of treating Xiao Yuhan still lingered in her mind.
She was very puzzled and confused. What exactly was going on with that little girl's demonic power? Why did it unconsciously affect her own power? She was an old hand at this, and Bai Yao's expression didn't lie to her.
Although you can't see into someone's heart, and you can't always judge a person's character just by their reactions and eyes, you can always glean some information from subtle changes in their expression and pupils.
Miao Xiaodie wouldn't say she's very good at judging people, but she does have basic judgment. So she was actually willing to trust the girl. But why did this happen?
At the crucial final moment, the terrifying demonic power almost directly dispelled the power of faith within her. This power of faith was based on the aura left behind by the goddess of life, and was maintained and sublimated through the faith of believers over many years.
She was also puzzled, so she was restless and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, so she took out the storage magic artifact she always carried with her and began to search through it. There were all kinds of poisons, books, trinkets, and a whole bunch of other random things. It took her a long time to finally find what she wanted.
It was an ancient book with the title "Heavenly Silkworm Gu" on the cover.
Miao Xiaodie turned to the last page, where there was a letter. Many years ago, when she copied the cultivation technique from the stone wall, she saw a passage of text next to it that did not belong to the cultivation technique. At the time, she did not know what it meant, but she copied it down as well.
