Chapter 54
Jiang Wan quickly returned to the Demon Palace. After coaxing her silly brother, she quickly called back Fang Qian, distributed the tasks for building the Demon Realm, and then hurriedly left the Outer Realm to switch to her secondary account to look for people.
Before he could give his frail sister a good hug, Yan Yan was violently pressed down on the bed by her, leaving him lying dead, with no tears in his eyes.
Although my sister is much gentler than before, and she didn't hit him or dislike him, but sister! Why are you gone again in just a short while after you came back?
Until the demon servants below reported that the Endless Sea had suffered an unprecedented devastating blow.
It was caused by the fight between the Demon Lord and an unknown powerful immortal cultivator in the Endless Sea.
Now their Demon Palace was affected, and everything except the main hall where he was was destroyed.
Yan Yan: ...Sister, this Demon Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, so it's broken down. Why are you running away... It's all the damn human race's fault!!!
Jiang Wanke had no idea that her brother Yan Yan was taking his anger out on her. She was still thinking about the man in black who had just fought with her.
Although the other party came to her house and fought with her, Jiang Wan had a good impression of him, especially what he did to the succubus before he left.
Although the succubus's body was not completely destroyed, it was indeed severely injured and turned back to its original form. It would take hundreds or thousands of years for it to come out.
Thinking of the person's extremely familiar tone of voice, coupled with his hatred for succubi...
"..noob…"
Jiang Wan stood at the highest point of Yucheng, the largest city in the Demon Realm. The cool night breeze blew through her hair. She took out the talisman for help given to her by Tu Changxing from her storage bag.
After using spiritual power to ignite the talisman, a spiritual power wave invisible to the naked eye spread out in all directions with Jiang Wan as the center.
At the same time, Lin Xubai, whose face was slightly gloomy, paused, suddenly looked up to one side, and then immediately flew in that direction.
"Hey hey hey? Wait for me!" Lou Zang hurriedly got up from the ground and chased after him.
Jiang Wan stood there and waited for a while before she saw Lin Xubai running towards her in a panic. The man who always dressed neatly and tidy now had his collar disheveled.
"Awan..."
He held her tightly in his arms, and the familiar fragrance filled her body, making her rub her nose unconsciously.
"Sorry to have worried you, I'm fine." Jiang Wan patted Lin Xubai's back as if to comfort a child. "You know, I even know two of the Demon Lord's demon envoys, and we have a very good relationship. You know, the new Demon Lord is not a bad person. As soon as the succubus brought me into the Demon Realm, he immediately noticed me and gave me a good scolding!"
Jiang Wan recounted her experience in a tone of "I have someone above me", trying to use such light-hearted words to reassure Lin Xubai who was hugging her tightly.
Little did he know that Lin Xubai's face turned even worse after hearing the word "Demon Lord". His arms around Jiang Wan suddenly tightened, almost strangling her to death.
As if realizing he had overreacted, Lin Xubai loosened his grip a little and pressed his face pitifully against Jiang Wan's hair.
“…Hmm…” There seemed to be some reluctance in the muffled voice.
Lin Xubai held the little Jiang Wan in his arms, and her body fit perfectly into his chest, just like when they were accidentally locked in the coffin that day, the two people, one tall and one short, fit surprisingly perfectly.
"Did you know that today a Xuanyi immortal cultivator came from the Demon Realm and fought with the Demon Lord in the Endless Sea..." Jiang Wan became suspicious and broke free from Lin Xubai's embrace without waiting for his reply. He put his hand on Lin Xubai's chest and raised his head to ask, "The Xuanyi man is related to you, right?"
Although it was a question, it was asked in an affirmative tone.
Lin Xubai's Adam's apple rolled, he blinked, then suddenly held Jiang Wan's shoulders and started coughing. His already messy collar came apart with his movement, revealing a piece of cold white skin and a delicate jade-like collarbone.
After spending so much time with Jiang Wan, Lin Xubai naturally knew that Jiang Wan had no resistance to his beauty, so...
Lin Xubai skillfully pretended to be weak and looked at Jiang Wan with innocent eyes, but his subsequent performance was ended by Jiang Wan's words.
"Seeing how nervous you are, it turns out that the man in black coming to the Demon Realm is related to you. The tone of his voice is exactly the same as yours. It's useless for you to deny it!" Jiang Wan listed the similarities between the two people with reason and evidence.
Hearing this, Lin Xubai's heart was beating wildly and he was extremely nervous. Oh no... A Wan was too familiar with him, could she have recognized him?
Lin Xubai suddenly felt a sweet worry in his nervousness. Although his identity might be revealed, doesn't this mean that Jiang Wan cares about him and only has eyes for him?
Otherwise, how could we recognize him based on these?
Lin Xubai simply ignored the fact that Jiang Wan had no idea that Xingxuan Immortal Venerable could not leave Guiyuan Sect at will, so she could boldly guess the most unlikely person.
"In the whole world, I can't find anyone else who can fight against the Demon Lord and not be at a disadvantage, except for the one who is known as the strongest in the world of immortal cultivation. So, it must be the Xingxuan Immortal Lord of Guiyuan Sect." Jiang Wan spoke eloquently, with a calm confidence that everything was in control.
"So, Xingxuan Immortal Venerable is you..."
Jiang Wan's face was serious and seemed a little indifferent.
Her sharp eyes met Lin Xubai's directly, as if to penetrate all disguises.
Lin Xubai opened his eyes wide involuntarily, and the sound of his heart beating violently came to his ears. He was actually looking forward to Jiang Wan's next words.
"It must be your uncle!" Jiang Wan confidently stated his final conclusion. There is only one truth!
Based on the existing evidence, and the fact that the original text clearly states that Xingxuan Xianzun is the male protagonist's cheat, isn't this very obvious!
Yes, apart from the Immortal Master Xingxuan, who would have the courage to raise a half-human, half-demon in his own sect?
He also hid the identity of the male protagonist so well.
"No wonder your uncle-in-law hasn't shown up since he took you back..." Jiang Wan said, "Besides, you've only been around him since you were little. Your tone of voice must have been influenced by him. Children grow up imitating the people around them, and you only had contact with him since you were little!"
Lin Xubai breathed a sigh of relief, his heart at ease but also a little disappointed.
He overestimated his little fool.
"Well..." He fell into Jiang Wan's neck weakly, his voice muffled, "You're right..."
"That makes sense. No wonder your folding fan is so powerful. You even dared to challenge a succubus, and more..."
Jiang Wan gave a lot of evidence that was enough to prove the close relationship between Lin Xubai and the Immortal Lord, and Lin Xubai responded to every word patiently.
"You can ask him to save me... He must be..." Jiang Wan looked at Lin Xubai's haggard face with heartache.
After all, he is an immortal. Even if the male protagonist, who was raised by him since childhood, asks him to help, it must not be easy.
His face was pale and he looked miserable, but he pretended to be strong (actually he was depressed), which made Jiang Wan's eyes suddenly feel sore.
She quickly lowered her head and blinked, suppressing the sourness that rose from the bottom of her heart.
Jiang Wan was very touched that Lin Xubai came to the Demon Realm to save her regardless of his own danger. She did not say any words of advice such as "Don't put yourself in danger", "Don't do this next time", "As a talisman cultivator, you should put your own safety first".
She knew that Lin Xubai, who was able to go into the Demon Realm alone to save people, would not be unaware of the dangers of doing so, but he did it anyway. After he found her, these were not the words he wanted to hear.
So Jiang Wan gave Lin Xubai a natural smile for the first time, hugged his waist with both hands from both sides, and her eyes were shining.
"Thank you!"
as well as--
"I'm back safely! You successfully rescued me intact! Xiaobai! You're so amazing! You even managed to persuade Xingxuan Immortal Venerable. I'm so relieved to have you around!"
"Heart~"
"Ahem...just come back safely."
Lin Xubai tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips, but he couldn't suppress the smile in his peach blossom eyes.
"You don't know, when you're not around, I always feel empty around me. Even though we've only been apart for less than half a day, it feels like we've been apart for a long, long time. I'm not used to it."
"Hmm... Is there? It might be a problem with the speed of time in the Demon Realm."
"Originally, Fang Qian wanted to take me for a walk, but when I thought of you, I immediately refused. After leaving the Endless Sea, I used the talisman Tu Changxing gave me and waited for you to come find me!"
"Yeah... Wan did a great job on this. If we separate in the future, after ensuring your own safety, you must use the talisman immediately and wait for me to come find you."
She did not choose to stay in the Endless Sea, but resolutely chose to leave and come to me as soon as possible.
Sure enough, in her heart, I am more important than that demon king!
“Cough cough cough——”
A long, artificial cough came from beside the two of them.
Lou Zang held his forehead and sighed deeply at his old friend's worthless appearance.
It was only then that Jiang Wan noticed that there was someone behind Lin Xubai.
"Who is he?" Jiang Wan frowned.
"Oh, I'm his friend—"
"Friend!" Jiang Wan's voice suddenly rose, and she interrupted the other person as if she had triggered a key word.
The look in his eyes as he looked at the two of them gradually became unfriendly.
Jiang Wan had a feeling that "your friend made a bunch of friends behind your back."
"You, I'm not your only friend? We've been apart for less than half a day, and you made a friend behind my back!?" Jiang Wan pointed at Lou Zang with a confused look in his eyes in disbelief.
Lin Xubai: "Uh, Ah Wan, let me explain..."
"They are all just ordinary drinking buddies. You are the only one who is my true friend."
Lou Zang: ???
No, buddy! He deserves to be redundant as a tool, right?
Not only are we no longer brothers, but now we're not even friends anymore! ? ?
He should just go find someone to be sworn brothers with. He has finally seen clearly that young lovers should not get too close to each other, as getting too close will only lead to misfortune!!!
Five years later——
Jiang Wan could never have imagined that she would stay in Guiyuan Sect for three years.
During the past five years, she has been dedicated to digging up negative information about Guiyuan Sect and other immortal sects. However, she never expected that she herself would become the negative information about the immortal sects.
She had not stayed there in vain over the past few years. Her relationship with Xiaobai had grown rapidly, but for some reason, whenever the topic of leaving Guiyuan Sect or the Demon Realm came up, Xiaobai would always change the subject and lead the conversation elsewhere.
Jiang Wan walked out of the Law Enforcement Hall gate with ease and found that many people had gathered in the square today, and there was also a... ring?
"What happened?"
Tu Changxing: "Today is the first Jindan stage competition in the Immortal Sect Competition. According to the regulations, only disciples below the Nascent Soul stage and above the Jindan stage can participate. For this reason, the Nascent Soul stage and Jindan stage cultivators are separated to compete.
I don’t know what happened today, but there is a Jindan stage sword cultivator who registered but has not arrived yet, and now everyone is waiting for him!
Hey, Junior Sister Jiang, you've also reached the Golden Core stage, don't miss today's competition!"
"Huh?" Jiang Wan was stunned. "No? Me? Competition?"
She doesn't even know about the Immortal Sect Competition, so what kind of competition is there?
"Oh, that's right, Junior Sister, you've been in the Law Enforcement Hall these days and I didn't know that Senior Brother Lin went to pay the penalty for you!" Tu Changxing suddenly thought of something and immediately leaned over to look at the names of the cultivators from both sides on the arena.
"Wait! Junior Sister Jiang, this is your first show!" Tu Changxing suddenly realized that Jiang Wan, who was chatting with him, was the Jindan swordsman that everyone on and off the stage was waiting for.
Then he immediately pushed Jiang Wan from behind and pushed her onto the stage.
"No, I didn't sign up—"
Jiang Wan, who was inexplicably pushed onto the stage, was attacked by an angry sword from the opposite side before she could figure out the situation.
"Watch this!"
