Hong Jiuquan felt a surge of joy.
The man in black continued to beg for mercy, "We are both demons, why should I save a human? Do you want to learn puppetry? This is a secret technique of the Rakshasa Sect that only direct disciples can learn! With it, you will never have to fight alone again! The elders and sect leaders of those major sects will all become your puppets!"
Hong Jiuquan felt a chill run down his spine.
This was the first time she had ever seen a puppet technique that could be effective against a master of the Void Refinement Realm.
If there are even more people who have mastered this technique, how many people in the major human clans have been secretly replaced?
"Even on the verge of death, do you still want to pin the blame on the Rakshasa Sect?" Su Nian threw another punch, speaking calmly.
Hong Jiuquan was slightly taken aback.
Is he lying?
“Why would I lie to you? Everything I said is true!” the man in black shouted.
"This technique is indeed the foundation of the Rakshasa Sect, and it is extremely likely to cause turmoil in the cultivation world. For this reason, the Rakshasa Sect is extremely cautious in selecting its direct disciples, requiring both virtue and cultivation to be indispensable. Furthermore, puppetry is inherently an evil art, which is why the Rakshasa Sect is not recognized by many prestigious sects. If the demon race wants to undermine the foundation of the human race, starting with the Rakshasa Sect is the best choice," Su Nian said calmly.
Hong Jiuquan pondered.
As the Dark Knight said, many people in the Rakshasa Sect are not inherently bad, but because their puppetry skills are too evil, the Rakshasa Sect is perceived as an evil sect by the general public.
The man in black is a member of the demon race, yet he uses the Rakshasa Sect's founding secret technique, making it hard not to associate him with the Rakshasa Sect.
"I'm asking you," Su Nian stared coldly at the man in black, asking in a chilling voice, "Why are you, a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator, so weak?"
The man in black clenched his teeth and remained silent.
Hong Jiuquan was filled with doubt.
"Is it because this is just an avatar?" Su Nian asked coldly.
Hong Jiuquan suddenly realized.
yes!
Even the weakest puppeteer at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm must have some means of survival, right?
But he didn't put up any resistance and was directly knocked into the ground by Su Nian. He was so weak that he was not even as strong as a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Seeing that his disguise had been exposed, the man in black let out a few strange laughs. He glanced at Su Nian and said, "You are meticulous and powerful. I didn't expect that there would be a talent like you in my demon race. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the demon race? Why do you have to work for the human race?"
"you guess?"
The man in black remained silent for a long time.
He then asked, "Do you perhaps have a crush on that woman over there?"
Hong Jiuquan's breath hitched for a moment, and he subconsciously looked at the black knight, his face flushed.
Could this scene be... from a folk tale... a knight guarding the princess in the darkness?
Although Hong Jiuquan mostly reads yuri (lesbian) stories, male characters also appear in those stories.
"Heh..." Su Nian chuckled softly, without replying.
Hong Jiuquan felt that this laugh sounded more like a helpless laugh.
After years of being cut off from contact with men, she finally experienced the fluttering feeling in her heart.
A powerful demon in the Void Refinement Realm secretly falls in love with the Grand Elder of a prestigious sect. Due to their respective statuses, he dares not confess his feelings and can only silently protect her in the darkness.
He simply raised his fist and swung it down again!
"What does this have to do with you?"
With a 'bang!', the man in black was punched into a cloud of black mist.
As he said, the man in black was just an avatar.
He disguised himself very well; even Hong Jiuquan, who was in the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, couldn't tell the difference.
But Su Nian was once the Reincarnation Emperor. In his previous life, apart from Ye Hua, no one in the world was his match.
After doing all this, he glanced at Hong Jiuquan indifferently, then looked away, hoisted the unconscious Si Qiushan onto his shoulder, and walked towards the dark part of the forest.
Hong Jiuquan couldn't see his expression through the mask, but she always felt that it must have been very complicated!
"Wait!" Hong Jiuquan called out to Su Nian just as he was about to disappear.
Su Nian stopped in her tracks.
After a moment's thought, Hong Jiuquan said, "Thank you for saving me today, Sir Knight."
"It was nothing, not worth mentioning," Su Nian said casually.
It was just a small favor?
Hong Jiuquan bit her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth.
Saving her life was no small feat!
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
"Wait! I have another question for you!"
"What's the problem?"
Hong Jiuquan asked earnestly, "Will we be able to meet again next time?"
"..." Su Nian was silent for a while, "Maybe."
"Will you appear when I'm in danger again?" Hong Jiuquan asked this question, his face burning with embarrassment.
Am I crazy? How could I ask such a direct question!
"Yes, I will." Su Nian nodded.
Even though the elder had disliked him since childhood, he understood that the elder himself was not a bad person.
At first, he didn't understand why the elder insisted on driving him away. It wasn't until later that he realized she was a lesbian who disliked contact with men.
If the Grand Elder is in danger, it means that Quanxiu is in danger.
Therefore, if the Grand Elder were in trouble, Su Nian felt that she would most likely step in to save him.
Hong Jiuquan's face flushed slightly, and he softly uttered an "oh".
So... will he still protect me in secret?
A mid-stage Void Refinement Realm demon secretly protecting him...
Just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed!
"Have you finished asking your questions?"
"Um……"
Su Nian waved to Hong Jiuquan, "Then, I look forward to our next meeting."
With that, he disappeared from the Elder's sight.
Hong Jiuquan was left standing there, blushing and lost in thought, muttering to himself, "I'm looking forward to it too..."
