"Humans and demons are now sworn enemies, like fire and water. Why let her go?"
"Because she is weak, she is kind," Su Nian said calmly.
Su Liuli sighed softly, "What if she's deceiving you?"
Su Nian smiled faintly and said, "This disciple believes that I have discerning eyes and cannot be mistaken."
Su Liuli said in a low voice, "What if I'm mistaken?"
"Then you're mistaken," Su Nian said nonchalantly.
Su Liuli choked, looking at Su Nian with a hint of resentment, "Nian'er... you wouldn't have spoken to your teacher like this before. You really... still harbor resentment towards your teacher?"
"What are you saying, Fairy Su? I've simply become more honest after my enlightenment, and it's the same for everyone," Su Nian said calmly.
"The same goes for Si Qiushan?"
There was a hint of resentment in Su Liuli's words.
Su Nian coughed.
This Su Liuli... did she use her divine sense to spy on me all night last night?
Last night, Si Qiushan was so deeply moved that she subconsciously withdrew her divine sense to protect herself, and she didn't know whether Su Liuli had been spying on her.
"I'll naturally be gentler with Qiu Shan..."
Su Liuli stared straight at him, and that look made Su Nian feel a little guilty.
After a long while, Su Liuli sighed softly, "So be it... Now that I, as your master, have disappointed you, and Si Qiushan is taking advantage of this situation, you will be more inclined to side with her, and I can understand that."
"Thank you for your leniency, Fairy Su."
Su Liuli gave a soft "hmm".
She looked down at the bound demon girl and said, "Demons are cunning and often have many faces. Even humans have a thousand faces, let alone demons. Nian'er, you must be more careful when you encounter demons, and don't be deceived by their gentle appearance."
"This disciple will remember," Su Nian said, cupping his hands in greeting.
He knew exactly what Su Liuli was saying.
But the demon girl's weakness and kindness were genuine and heartfelt, a fact that was proven in the days that followed.
only……
Su Nian gave the demon girl a meaningful look.
This person's identity... is quite extraordinary...
"You let her leave without permission this time, which was seen by others and led to the confirmation of the case of collusion with the demons. What are your thoughts on this?" Su Liuli asked again.
"have."
Su Liuli guessed what he was going to say next and nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead."
Su Nian said calmly, "From the moment I was born, I was taught a saying: 'Those who are not of our race are sure to have different hearts. If the demon race is not destroyed, the human race will not be at peace.' For many years, I have kept this saying in mind and regarded it as my duty to kill the demon race. But when I saw the demon race, which should be our enemy, healing innocent villagers who were afraid of her, and when I saw righteous cultivators controlling the demon race to cruelly kill their own compatriots, I asked myself, 'Was the education I received all this time wrong?'"
The demon girl stared at Su Nian in a daze, and light gradually returned to her dim eyes.
Su Liuli frowned slightly, pondering Su Nian's words, "Controlling demons to kill their own kind? Who are you referring to? Is there some hidden story in this case?"
Su Nian did not answer, but just smiled indifferently.
He then asked, "Master, have you ever been to the Demon Realm?"
Su Liuli hesitated, then shook her head.
"Have you ever been on the battlefield between humans and demons?"
Su Liuli nodded this time.
"Is everything on the battlefield cruel? Demons are cruel, and so are humans."
Su Liuli understood what Su Nian wanted to say. She stared intently into Su Nian's eyes and asked, "Are you saying that those protected demons are kind-hearted and shouldn't be eliminated?"
"What I want to say is that the good or evil of an individual should not affect an entire race. If my identity as a traitor to the human race is confirmed that day, does that mean that the entire Quanxiu is a traitor to the human race?"
Su Liuli fell silent.
Not only her, but even Qian Weiwei inside Su Nian's dantian fell silent.
Qian Weiwei originally thought that Su Nian was like those human cultivators who hated the demon race and wished they could exterminate the entire demon race.
But she never expected that the Reincarnation Emperor, who once single-handedly stopped a million-strong demon army, would think this way deep down.
The demon girl looked at Su Nian, her eyes gradually becoming moist.
This was the first time since she came to the human territory that she had met someone who didn't dislike her and was even willing to defend her.
It felt like stumbling and falling alone in a storm for a long time, and then someone came to her side and held an umbrella over her when she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell.
Su Liuli remained silent for a long time.
She wasn't incapable of understanding Su Nian's words.
However, such a concept is not suitable for today's world.
If others heard this, they would be executed for treason!
Su Liuli turned around, threw a long sword from her sleeve, and it landed in front of Su Nian.
With her back to Su Nian, she stood with her hands behind her back. "Nian'er, before you say these words, you should know what price you will pay."
"If Master wishes to clean house, then I will do as Master desires," Su Nian said calmly, picking up the sword from the ground.
"Sigh..." Su Liuli sighed helplessly, staring at the ceiling with unfocused eyes, and said softly, "I don't know where you learned this stubbornness from..."
"Self-taught".
Su Liuli paused, her lips twitching slightly, the atmosphere ruined, and she almost burst out laughing.
She composed herself and said slowly, "Nian'er, I brought you back when you were still an infant. After so many years together, even a stubborn rock would develop feelings. You can say what you just said in front of me, but you must not let anyone else hear it, understand?"
"This disciple will remember," Su Nian said, cupping his hands in greeting.
