"Ling Yan, you went to such great lengths to disguise yourself as a student and enter my elegant pavilion. What is your purpose? Why don't you come here immediately?"
The teacher looked at the girl's calm expression and thought she was showing her fear, so he kept asking questions.
"Master Guo, Ling is not from the demon world. You misunderstood!"
Murong Zhi, who rushed over after hearing the news, pushed through the crowd and stepped forward to speak in defense.
"I think you've been bewitched by that witch without even realizing it. Do you really think a simple girl could possess such powerful spiritual power out of nowhere? Don't forget, she was once a notorious loser in the countryside!"
Master Guo threw out the records he had secretly investigated, and Murong Zhi frowned when he heard it.
"Ling Yan, do you have anything to say? I'll give you a chance to argue."
Jimo Yan pushed the investigation records handed to him by Master Guo and spoke with his eyes fixed.
Sophie raised an eyebrow in disapproval.
If the hero's true identity were exposed today, he would definitely be executed on the spot by this group of famous and upright people, resulting in a complete failure of the mission.
It would be better to just go with the flow and let her take the blame for him first.
After all, she is the daughter of the Fengqing Sect's leader, so she has nothing to fear.
What's more, her dear uncle-Master Xuanlin is still standing here~
Sophie smiled sweetly and stepped forward.
"Since you've discovered me, well, I'll just come clean and stop pretending."
"That's right, I am the reincarnation of the devil!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.
Even Xuan Lin, who always had a cold expression and was ignorant of the world, couldn't help but frown.
What is this girl doing?
"Look, Pavilion Master, she admitted it!"
Master Guo couldn't hide the excitement on his face and walked up to chat with Jimo Yan.
Jimo Yan pretended to hear nothing and stood there with his hands behind his back.
The students were shocked by the sudden change and talked to each other in a low voice.
"I never thought that Ling Yan was not only from the demon world, but was actually the reincarnation of the Demon King!"
"Isn't it? It is said that the Pavilion Master wanted to take her as his first disciple before, but now it seems..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the Pavilion Master possibly accept a witch as his disciple? Didn't you see what happened to Senior Xiu Xiu? Killed with a single blow, the method was extremely vicious!"
“Ah, this…”
The noisy conversations around him made Jimo Yan angry.
"Shut up, everyone!"
He glanced sideways coldly, and the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy instantly silenced the students who were caught up in the heated discussion.
"Ling Yan, I'll ask you again, who are you?"
He turned his gaze back to the girl not far away.
She had a charming face and a sweet smile, completely different from the evil demon king in the rumors, and had nothing to do with her in the slightest.
But why did she say so confidently that she was the devil?
unless……
"Ling Yan, if you are threatened by anyone, please tell me. I will definitely take care of you and will not let them off easily!"
Jimo Yan stepped forward with a loud voice.
The moment he took a step forward, a silver light flashed quickly before his eyes.
"Witch, I will kill you to avenge my good brother Xiuxiu!"
Zhong Ling raised her sword and stepped forward, stabbing it into her heart.
But without even touching her clothes, she easily grasped the sword tip with two fingertips.
"So it's you."
Sophie recognized him and smiled brightly.
In Zhong Ling's eyes, it was a mockery of him.
He threw the hidden weapon from his sleeve with his backhand.
In an instant, dozens of poisoned silver needles flew towards Sophie's face.
