Unwilling, utterly unwilling, Yin Yue's eyes turned blood red, his voice trembling: "It's fine if we don't become master and disciple in the next life. I love my master, master, marry me, be my wife..."
"Master, I love you."
His voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, yet it struck everyone's hearts with a powerful impact.
This time, the cultivators seemed to have a change of heart and did not disturb the master and disciple's "farewell".
The square was completely silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, when a child's innocent voice rang out, "Daddy, Mommy, aren't demons born heartless? Can demons love people too?"
The parents whispered, "This demon is different. He grew up in the world of cultivation. Perhaps Senior Xi taught him about love."
"Does a demon die even if he hasn't done anything wrong?"
The parents were taken aback for a moment, then said, "Because... he is a demon, and is inherently incompatible with everyone else."
Are they simply incompatible from the start? Or is societal prejudice a deadly weapon?
Xi Xingxue closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her eyes were cold.
"Very well, Yin Yue... you can deal with him as you see fit."
Upon hearing this, those who cared about Xi Xingxue were incredulous, while those who didn't were overjoyed or relieved, thinking that he had finally come to his senses. What was there to be heartbroken about in a demon disciple?
Only Wenren Ling and Xie Jiuchuan, who knew Xi Xingxue well, looked up and met Xi Xingxue's clear and beautiful eyes, and then understood his implication.
Sect Master Bai Ye couldn't wait any longer, his righteous indignation evident: "Alright, then let's kill these two demons on the spot!"
The other sect leaders nodded in agreement, "To prevent them from turning into vengeful demons, let's drip their essence blood and cause their souls to be scattered."
Soul scattered and spirit dispersed?
Then there will be no next life.
Yin Yue let out a cold, devastating laugh, his bloodshot eyes fixed on those faces: "I have never committed any heinous crime, why are you trying to make me perish?"
"I will not go to the underworld to become a vengeful ghost. I will stay by the River of Oblivion and let my master come to find me."
When Sect Leader Bai Ye met his eyes, his heart trembled for a moment. He raised his chin and said, "We have no way of trusting you."
"Wait—" Wenren Ling said coldly, "Sect Master Bai Ye, your haste is arousing suspicion."
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Bai Ye was momentarily stunned before erupting in extreme anger. "You've found both demons! What do you mean by saying this? Are you implicating me without any evidence?"
Wenren Ling chuckled: "I didn't say I doubted you. Why are you so desperate? I just want to say that we should lock these two demons up in prison and find out if there are any other demons left before deciding to kill them."
The crowd discussed among themselves, saying, "Sect Leader Wenren's suggestion is quite good."
Xi Xingxue looked up at Wenren Ling, her gratitude towards him reaching a sighing level.
Wenren Ling clearly also hates demons.
I don't know how she came to understand after deciphering his implication.
Everyone agreed to Wenren Ling's suggestion, so Yin Yue and Jun Da were escorted to the dungeon.
After being sent to the dungeon, everyone discussed that they would torture them for ten days first, and if they did not reveal any of their compatriots after ten days, they would kill them.
......
The sycamore trees outside the window are growing vigorously, their lush greenery blending seamlessly with the azure sky, a sight to behold.
Xi Xingxue leaned against the window, the dappled sunlight casting distinct shadows on his face.
Xie Jiuchuan walked in from outside and saw this scene. He couldn't help but slow his pace and asked softly,
"Master, Junior Brother has been imprisoned in the dungeon. What should you do next?"
Xi Xingxue replied, "Of course, we'll find a way to save him."
Xie Jiuchuan's eyes darkened: "Alright, but this disciple would like to ask Master to grant me one request."
"explain."
"Don't get hurt."
Xie Jiuchuan regarded Yin Yue as a rival in love, but he also respected his master. He would not stop his master's decision, but he was afraid that his master would get hurt because of it.
After all, if Master had insisted on staying by Yin Yue's side that day, he would have been regarded as one of the demons and killed along with everyone.
Xi Xingxue nodded, but didn't let Xie Jiuchuan see the fleeting darkness in his eyes.
Xie Jiuchuan added, "Also, the sect leader asked me to pass on a message to my master: Yin Yue is a good person now, and he must not become a bad person in the future."
Xi Xingxue blinked.
He understands what it means.
Wenren Ling tacitly approved of his going to save Yin Yue, but he could not allow Yin Yue to take revenge on the cultivation world and become a true demon.
He nodded: "I understand, you may leave."
"Okay." Xie Jiuchuan agreed, but his steps faltered, reluctant to leave.
Although his master calmly agreed, it was precisely because of this that he felt inexplicably uneasy.
I have a feeling things will be a little different.
"Jiuchuan, aren't you leaving yet? Are you being so clingy?"
Xi Xingxue turned to look at him.
Just then, sunlight shone on his eyebrows and eyes, and his magnificent, unpredictable, and captivating beauty bewitched Xie Jiuchuan.
He gave a soft "hmm," which could be considered an admission.
Xi Xingxue smiled, then suddenly stepped closer to him, "Jiuchuan, close your eyes."
Xie Jiuchuan's eyelids twitched, and he obediently closed his eyes.
Then.
A warm, wet kiss landed on his lips.
Master... is kissing him.
His eyes narrowed slightly in shock, and his hands, which were hanging at his sides, clenched into fists instantly. After a brief moment of stunned silence, Xie Jiuchuan, fearing that his master would leave, quickly tried to stop him and deepened the kiss.
The explosive and ferocious force roared as it tried to tear Xi Xingxue apart and devour her whole. The back of her head was pressed down by the young man's large hand, preventing her from escaping even an inch.
"Hmm."
A faint sound further ignited Xie Jiuchuan's emotions.
After a period of time.
Xie Jiuchuan finally left the room, turning back every few steps. Xi Xingxue rubbed her slightly swollen lips with her fingertips, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.
Inside the room, He Yan was still lying motionless on the bed.
Xi Xingxue walked to his side and lowered her head.
“Treat them fairly.”
He Yan, who was unconscious but still vaguely conscious, was speechless.
.........
Inside the dungeon, the atmosphere was oppressive, and the light was so dim that it was impossible to see clearly.
The sound of clattering footsteps approached, and a pure white figure appeared like a ray of light, illuminating the dungeon.
"Senior Xi." The two disciples guarding the gate bent down and stopped him.
"Yes, I've already told your sect leader that I'm here to take a look at Yin Yue."
Because of Yin Yue's special status, he was imprisoned in Baiye Sect, but was looked after by several sects.
The two disciples guarding the gate made way for them.
Soon, Xi Xingxue arrived in front of Yin Yue.
Because he arrived quickly, before the so-called torture had even begun, Yin Yue was still completely unharmed.
Xi Xingxue would not give them any opportunity to use torture.
Most of the sect members are hypocritical and their methods are no better than those of the demons.
